''Discuss the involvement of these "styles" on the page here. Should they be on the page, or alternatively, should we add them to [[Trends]]?''

I'm for trends, personally, or 'Upcoming Styles'.

==Lunarcore==
a style created by poet and pushed by timber. Lunarcore incorporates the stylings of retrofuturism into everyday fits, with references to vintage cosmonaut suits and the implied utility of pockets flaps and zippers. Helmut Lang (Hermit Lounge - joke by ph) was the first lunarcore retrofuture avant-garde designer by creating Chinese flight underwear and playing with the implied utility of zippers and nylon cords to make a refrence to the Chinese pilots of WWII. Helmut Lang was influenced by rick owens and yohji yamammoto. The primary colors used in the newly developed lunarcore style are safety orange, metallic silver and off white to give a vintage retrofuture vibe. The typical lunarcore silhouette is baggy (influenced by yohji yamamoto)to imply utility needed by the retrofuture cosmonaut.

==Tumblrcore==
'''Examples of Brands: Most Big Cartel brands, most clothes from Urban Outfitters'''

Tumblrcore is a strange thing to describe. For the most part, females are generally more tumblrcore. This style incorporates a sort of twee/teen style while attempting as well to give it some sort of unique edge to it. Whether that edge be heavy makeup, overdone/dyed hair, Dr. Martens, studded pieces, loud patterns, and many different accessories usually associated with a separate style. A staple is usually the "Galaxy Leggings" which have seemingly overnight become a trend, thick framed or "hipster" glasses, hair dyed in an unnatural color, semi-gaudy shoes, and even excessive jewelry. When attempting this style it should be known that it is very flexible just like the streetwear style is, so it can be a very easy "beginner style" for those who aren't sure about some of the more radical and money consuming styles such as gothninja.

Men's tumblrcore consists widely of bigcartel stores. Usually on tee shirts or snapbacks, screenprinting is done with loud prints or pieces of artwork, or it may be fully blown edgy phrases in white on black.

Cheesus: /* The Fedora */

This page is dedicated to the dissemination of information concerning articles of clothing that are hard and/or impossible to wear.

== Yesstyle/Fabrixquare/TheLessShop ==

The clothes from Yesstyle and Fabrixquare are cheap. The sleek, flattering clothes that are presented to buyers are, in reality, not flattering at all. The clothing is held in place and fitted onto the mannequin with pins, and taken in extremely good lighting to accentuate the fitting. In reality the cuts are extremely bad. In addition, clothing from Yesstyle are made for small, slim Asian people and will automatically be unfitting. A small there does not equal a small in the U.S. (Add more stuff here.)

'''General rule of thumb: do not buy clothes pictured on a black mannequin.'''

== The Fedora ==
You don't look classy.
You don't look cool.
Just don't wear it.
It doesn't matter if it's of high quality.
It doesn't matter if you saw some dude from the 1950s pull it off.
Don't wear it.

== Dadcore/Overdressing ==

'''Dadcore'''

Many beginners to the fashion game tend to go straight for the GQ #Menswear look, as they see it as classy and masculine. This itself is not a bad idea, but it's very easy to get sucked into buying mall-tier clothes that look "nice" in the store, but terrible on you. The term "dadcore" refers to a bastardisation of menswear, often consisting of poorly fitted suits, oxford shirts, blazers, peacoats, awkward ties and tie bars, ugly desert boots, square shoes, and sometimes even the infamous fedora. If you rush in and fill your wardrobe with mall-tier "dressy" clothes, without tailoring you will look bad, and probably get posted in /fa/ cringe threads. When starting out, buy decent basics and work your way up, dress clothes are not the foundation of a wardrobe. Once you have the basics down, you can look into styles you prefer, find a decent tailor, and start buying nicer clothing. By this point you should know what to look for in an oxford, blazer, suit, and will have a much better wardrobe in the long run.

'''Overdressing'''

It's worth noting that dadcore often is most obvious when you're young. Nothing looks more hilarious than an awkward 18 year old college freshman strutting around campus in a crinkled oxford with a yesstyle-esque peacoat, topped with some loosely fitting chinos and off-brown boat shoes. These kinds of people are easy to spot, and you should keep an eye out for what works for them and what doesn't. You can dress nicely/preppy at college, but wearing a blazer to class isnt going to impress anybody. Menswear is difficult to pull off if you're <22-23, so try to avoid making your entire wardrobe comprise of it.

== Your shoes, probably ==
This section should link to a separate page detailing common bad design features in shoes. For example: square toes, corrected grain.

[[Why You Should Never Buy Cheap Shoes]]

== Shoe and Belt mismatch ==
If you are wearing a leather dress shoe or boot, and a leather belt, there are some rules about color.

If the shoes are brown, the belt cannot be black. If the shoes are black, the belt cannot be brown. Matching shoe and belt color is fine for brown or black but usually will look odd with colors like white or blue. Bold colors or white are usually not acceptable for leather belts. Casual belts made of other materials or with prints do not need to be matched by color to shoes.

In summary: Black belt and brown shoes is bad. Black shoes and tan belt is bad. etc.
