i like clothes that have some unique flair to it
and the occasional pop of color
im 5'7 and 125 lbs (so pretty slim)
so i am insecure about my arms
i will work on it
olive skin tone btw
those first trousers are wrangler wranchers if I had to guess
where are you located, are you open to 2nd hand and what’s a rough budget?
in £/$/€
Dion Lee is defunct but known for tops like the first photo, can still find them on clearance or secondhand
this is a pretty on trend style rn, you'll just need to lock in your search terms on depop tbh.
ok whatever you do just do not order clothing via any mass market site like amazon/walmart/shein/temu/etc etc
shit's made as cheap as possible and i guarantee you it will not look good even if the product photos look ok bc the materials they use are almost always hot garbage (acrylic/polyester that reeks of plastic smell)
Try some diesel tops
Maybe eckhaus latta and Andersson bell
I am super super positive that the pants in picture 1 are wrangler wranchers
So those at least will be easy to find!
Mall brands will also have tank tops
They’ll be prevalent in the women’s section
^depending on your location, amazon might actually be your best bet for these lol
if you're in the US you'll be able to get them elsewhere, but I've not found anywhere in the UK that sells them
searching for y2k style or riviera style on depop may get you some decent results
also skin tone has no bearing on what looks good on a person, just check #waywt-highlights
i dont care about thrift but this is america nobody has actually anything thrift worthy
nobody has style here
at all
well that’s one of the dumbest things i’ve read today lol
a good proportion of the members here are American, and are some of the most stylish people i’ve ever met, sounds like you run in the wrong crowds lol
i live in the midwest bro
its amazing how shitty people dress
in my town
can think of a few very well dressed people from the midwest or thereabouts
only a few
better than "no one"
ill give it a try
as an fyi and general life advice, insulting folks and coming off like an ass ain’t gonna get you the answers you’re looking for
also it's 2025 be less of a hater and strap on your depop pants
i usually shop at h&m
let he who is without sin cast the first stone then
grease covered sweatpants are a sin
i gotta say, this is just wrong. Some of the best dressed people in this server almost exclusively thrift. And as someone who made the excuse of being semi rural as why i thought my local thrifts were bad i bought a pretty amazing jacket for $5 yesterday
also it’s entirely relative. i know i’d have a field day in a mid western thrift store
sorry im really angry right now and going crazy
i'm waxing philosophic thinking of the last thing i bought that wasn't thrifted or proxied...good times
im
sorry you're going through that and in a maybe unstimulating environment fashionwise
frustrated with my living situation
yeah
this location isnt the best for people to be themselves
understandable
it's good to find community however you can and to try and find ways to authentically express yourself
thats my whole thing
in terms of access and cost secondhand is probably your best bet, be it depop or ebay or poshmark (sometimes)
the style you're looking for is in the zeitgeist so the stuff will not be hard to find
as someone from a working class town in north east england, i fully understand the pain. best advice i can give on the being yourself thing is either, and this is dependent on your personality and wider context, dip your toe in and slowly transition to the clothes you want to wear or jump straight in
my fashion style is already distinct
but not by much
i mean do you want it to be distinct relative to the people in your hometown or strangers on the internet
everyone
im a unique character 💅
by that i mean im a rude hoe
in both cases i'd say stick around and check the other parts of the server - being your authentic self is more than just wearing a distinct set of clothes plus it might be a nice contrast from where you're currently at
i do like some outfits from the Golf Wang line
...such as...
cant find it
but i found a brand on amazon that has some good stuff called zaful
don't buy clothes from amazon
yeah
mens clothing has proven to be quite...uncolorful
respectfully i think you're not looking at the right spaces
and even then there's more ways to have interesting clothing than color
ooh i know this thrift store that actually had some good stuff
its usually athleticwear
2ndstreet and tokio7 are both secondhand stores with online components
ive been scrolling for weeks on pinterest trying to make sense of my style
but its so weird that nothing really matches it
i need to shape it more to figure out patterns
might be better to use a different source of curation
part of the reason ive been going fashion insane
or to just start saving pictures and looking for the common motifs yourself
are.na is a good source, ig saves are good if you're on there a lot
i think im spiraling lmao
but i think just being able to see the common things in the fits you like (visually and vibes) will help a great deal, especially since you aren't in like new york or somewhere
sometimes once the thought train starts it is hard to slow down, i've been there, as have many people
it's nearly 10pm here there's not much you can magically do to get your wardrobe but you have an idea kinda of what you want to look like and some suggestions of brands
i would keep looking, here, on ig (@watchingnewyork is a good account) or tiktok if you can stomach it
and also try to find something not-clothes related to enjoy; thinking solely about clothes will hurt your brain after some time
it hurts so much
i just wanna feel
fun
my life is boring so i turned to obsessing over fashion lol
I think zeo has a great point about recognizing common aspects of fits that you like even if the whole fit isn't exactly how you want to dress, I would hay very very few of my inspo pics are 100% perfect to how i want my style to be but I find there's lots of stuff i want to pull a certain element from like maybe i really like the way the pants in a certain fit look, or the colors of another.
im going to try and make the weirdest combos from the shit in my closet
that's good, I fall into the I need new clothes to freshen up my stuff spiral every few months and feel like I need to buy something or my fits are going to be boring , but honestly the most fun i have with clothes is just wearing what you have in new ways, the obsessing over needing something new and different usually leads me to bad purchases that were poorly thought out.
time to distance myself from fashion for idk a week
oh i had old money obsession for like one day and spent 35 dollars
i think i regret it
yeah it's always worth sitting on an idea for a little bit to see if you like the item or if you're just reacting on impulse or anger or anxiety or something
this is very relatable
i live in small town louisiana where no one dresses well and dressing well gets you looked at weird
this server is fuckin awesome for people like us
just breathe and scroll #waywt every day for fun pieces and if you want help finding pieces we are always down
post stuff in inspo!
