Non-clothing inspo
Your gateway into your current style
People posting their favourite albums and then I shit on them
More brand highlights/arguments
If we wanna fight: Overrated and Underrated topics
fashion buzzwords - what is "timeless", what is "quality", etc
Also given how Discord isn't the same type of archive storage for knowledge I think topics can be repeated with decent frequency depending on what they are.
I always found it silly that reddit tended to have one big post on a topic and then it was "settled"
anything but this
i could use a laugh lol
We can only do that thread if we bring back the bot responding to every usage of the word "timeless"
clothes
drink
like beans said some topics can be recurring
the "favorite fit" and "experiment" threads come to mind
What does your room/home look like and/or interior design inspo
it’s almost been a year so we can just recycle totds
How have clothes reinforced or changed your perception of yourself?
What is your grail piece?
What is your favorite cheap piece of clothing in your wardrobe
What is the cheapest waywt-worthy outfit you can make?
What non-fashion designer inspires you? Why?
we sort of already had this / i don't think people are incentivized to share this https://discord.com/channels/1116793467654381685/1235259441142829066
Ah. I dont know the history of TOTD because i havent been here as long as most, but just throwing out ideas as they come to me
Couple ideas based around it being almost a year since the full migration from reddit to here:
1. How has your style changed in the year since we moved to discord. Post pictures of outfits then and now
2. Because the people want arguments - Do you like discord better than reddit
I like these a lot!
Not bc I subscribe to them having a settled meaning but bc i wanna see folx fight
Another arguable topic:
What piece/style do you like that goes against the MFA meta
youve triggered me into thinking about the junya hokas now im returning the favor
arguable topics like this aren't actually fun
like they sound fun
but its always this
especially if its a loaded question in a server with a general hivemind
it’ll just end up being Zara bad
zara bad widefit bad etc etc
its legit always the same
i simply never stopped thinking about them
Lets do a thread about new york
did that already
everyone threw a fit
Actually only 2 people threw a fit and i was one of them
If throwing a fit means being very lightly critical of another thread about new york
ur half of everyone weeg take the compliment
half of everyone's inspo album mirite
Where do you see yourself in 5 years?
Blunder-years thread could be fun?
that's just #waywt
What would your wardrobe look like if you had unlimited money and cost were no object?
The triumphant return of jimi
if we’re still willing to repeat i was a big fan of the “flip a brick” posts but it might be more of a theme waywt
- grail hunting (post ur grail and someone else buys it)
- mod boxing
-
ran out of ideas
How about occasional topics highlighting some of the articles & guides on the substack for discussion, suggested updates and so on
Yeah, I was semi serious about "basic ivy bastard". We could crowd source it
Best _ for $ could be cool (maybe we’ve done that before.) Best white tee for under $50 for example
Exists but could maybe use an update https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1mhOIpjUUibBf3QueJs8iRJy5gBKCILq82ekJkiC5uqQ/htmlview#gid=0
cutest user named sal
what did you think of xyz articles of interest episode (i really just want to talk about it)
your favorite designer that dresses like shit
why navy is the worst color (i have theories)
I think this is infinitely repeatable. Find an interesting article, have people read it, and talk about it
I agree but most people won't read it
😠
true
myself included
rick owens
.
see that bait doesn't work
cause rick pretty much only dresses in his own clothes
you're proving my points @Smiles
also another suggestion to switch things up:
Interests outside of fashion with a daily since the interests threads are a little barren
Ex:
Breadmaking (post pics of recent bread and help people who want to learn/start get the basics)
Fermentation (same)
Cycling (post bikes and recent pretty views from rides etc)
Big Sports Games (NBA Finals game 7 happening? Super bowl? World Cup? We talk about it)
etc.
do the sports games ones then ban anyone that makes the sports ball "joke"
stay in your thread if you don't like annoying people
What do you wear to work and would you post it to #waywt, why (not)?
What do you wear when you do sports, do you try to get a fit off?
What is your least favorite item in your wardrobe that you end up wearing the most and why?
I would also like a repeat of the "your favorite recent fit" topic
Fashion endgame: are you trying to achieve a certain goal in dressing or do you dress for a specific purpose?
who you dress the most and least like in the server
That's a fun one
Fun fashion facts: what is your favorite bit of fashion trivia
Who are your personal style icons (share pics)
How do you incorporate other hobbies into your style (gear, homemade items etc.)?
Which items in your wardrobe have aged the best, how do they look in a fit now vs. when you bought them?
totd: do you guys like me
I like your sharpie blazer
And your red Vans
And your enthusiasm for banning idiots
Does buying shit make you happy?
do 'cultural appropriation in fashion' and ban everyone who posts in the topic
we already did that
-what do you do when you’re in a fashion rut?
-do you get the yips when you try something outside of your usual comfort zone? How do you move past it?
-is your significant other/partner into fashion too? If not, how do they feel about your hobby?
-is having a hobby with a high element of consumption more detrimental to your wellbeing than it’s worth?
-do you engage in other hobbies that are highly aestheticized and does this influence your fashion and vice versa?
Maybe a little heavy but something asking how people's health/disabilities either physical or mental affects/shapes what they wear.
I been mulling over how much of my shoe choice is a personal preference vs these are shoes I can wear and then a lot of my fashion choices formed around that
Little heavy but I think as long as people are respectful this could be a great topic
you are on fire
No, I’m on 2 coffees and 2 Red Bulls
