==A Small Note on Styles==<br />
If you haven't read the [[Introduction]], then do it now. This page is for different styles, not only in fashion, but also in the life you lead. Many people disregard their day-to-day life when attempting a new style, and this is where they fail.<br />
Be concise when looking for your ideal style. Don't be a try-hard, don't be an actor.<br />
<br />
'''Please Note''': Categorizing fashion into "styles" like they were animals in a taxonomy, while convenient for the beginner, is actually a terrible view to adopt. Outfits cannot be "categorized" into styles completely because each one is unique, and many deviate from these supposed "styles". Styles are not objective. For more information on developing your personal style, see "Taste" in [[Introduction]].<br />

<br />
Menswear is a modernized style that draws from conservative or classical male working aesthetic. Masculine silhouettes, formal incorporated into casual attire, and somewhat preppy styles fall here. Fit and fabric serve great importance in menswear outfits, as well as in controlling the quality of the clothing you purchase. Cheaply made, ill fitting menswear is a recipe for disaster, as it is very easy to come off as sloppy or trashy. Keeping this in mind, a crisp tailored button-down, slim-fitting trousers, a pair of casual oxfords, and a relatively casual tie, for example, can be worn to either a job interview or a night out.<br />
<br />
In the debates that take place on /fa/ and elsewhere, styles are often given names by their opponents to mock and ridicule its followers. The derogatory term used to describe menswear is "dadcore". As the style's classical aesthetic is associated with the older generations (as in being "clothes for dads") menswear has been mocked as such. However, the nickname has since turned into the term used for failed attempts at menswear which include fedoras, ill fitted suits and generally horrid taste. <br />
<br />
Clothing in this type of style highly emphasizes construction, material quality and the difficult pattern-making work. <br />
Such examples include Loro Piana who is known for cashmere, Ermenegildo Zegna for their wool, and bespoke labels. <br />

==Prep==<br />

<br />
Similar in some ways to traditional menswear, but with key distinctions, "prep" is a style that evolved on Ivy League campuses in the mid twentieth century and came to exemplify New England's white upper middle class. Given the influence of collegiate and prep school environments had in shaping the style, prep modes of dress are more casual, youthful, and sporting in nature than traditional menswear. Prep clothing often pays homage to upper middle class leisure activities like equestrianism, sailing, yachting, hunting, rowing, lacrosse, tennis, and rugby. In fact, many prep essentials originated as sportswear like the canvas tennis sneaker, the polo, and the waxed hunting jacket. Embroidered pants may feature nautical symbols, ducks, or hounds. Nautical stripes and boat shoes hearken to sailing and the significance of fishing to the region.<br />
<br />
As a result of these influences, women's prep styles will often appear androgynous, forgoing skirts and adopting pants, shorts, crew neck sweaters and men's button downs. <br />
<br />
Prep Essentials: white trainers (canvas or otherwise), wool crew neck sweaters, striped sweaters, chinos, braided leather belts, boat shoes and loafers, a sportscoat, polos, oxfords (both the shoe and the shirt), madras, tweed, duck boots.<br />

==Streetwear== <br />
[[File:srtwr1.jpg|200px|thumb|right]]<br />
'''Examples of Brands: [[Supreme]], [[White Mountaineering]], [[Bape]], [[Undercover]], [[WTAPS]], [[Visvim]], [[Stussy]], [[Norse Projects]], [[RSVP]]'''<br />
<br />
Streetwear is a style with roots in Western American surf and skate culture but has grown to take inspiration from everything from rap culture, Japanese street fashion, techwear, and even workwear brands. While it has evolved over the years, there are certain clothing items and designs that characterize the style such as bold all over prints, five panel hats, beanies, athletic sneakers (often in loud colorways), brand display, and outerwear made predominantly of synthetic fabrics.<br />
<br />
Despite these defining features, streetwear is considered one of the more flexible and approachable styles given its emphasis on steeze. The two major forums dedicated to streetwear are [http://www.hypebeast.com/?_locale=en Hypebeast] and [http://www.superfuture.com/ superfuture].<br />

== Artisanal/Avant-Garde==<br />
[[File:1355649565428.jpg|200px|thumb|right]]<br />
'''Examples of Brands: [[Rick Owens]], [[Yohji Yamamoto]], [[Julius_7]], [[Ann Demeulemeester]], [[Maison Martin Margiela]], [[Comme Des Garcons]]. <br />
<br />
Artisanal styles are a generally less accessible and remain a niche aesthetic due to high prices and exclusivity. The style is informally referred to as "goth-ninja" on /fa/ or derisively as "goof ninja." The usual defining features of this style are a monochrome / grayscale color palette, unconventional proportions, textures, construction, unique materials.<br />
<br />
It is a subjective term and therefore there are no real boundaries or rules that dictate whether an unconventional "Dark" look is "Avant - Garde" or not. Ideologies and Philosophy are an important part of the aesthetic, and many of the designers make conscious efforts to differentiate themselves from mass produced garments with no meaning, depth, or "Soul".<br />
<br />
Many pieces are made with unique techniques, treatment (dying, tanning, distressing), and materials. Often, brands place a strong focus on distinctive or unorthodox construction of pieces, for example rather than using a conventional nylon lining in a blazer, it will be unlined with raw edges on the inside, or the lining will be made of a linen/nylon blended fiber.<br />
<br />
A vast majority of "avant garde" brands place a strong priority on being anti-branding, using minimalist logos on the interior of pieces, generally placing priority on the construction, form, and quality of the garment, above the brand that created it.<br />
<br />
Many of the people who appreciate this aesthetic share the same appreciation for craftsmanship, modern design, and anti - consumerism.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
==Urban Techwear==<br />
[[File:techwear.jpg|200px|thumb|right]]<br />
'''Examples of Brands: [[Acronym]], [[Arc'teryx Veilance]], [[Y-3]], [[Gyakusou]], [[Isaora]], [[Outlier]]'''<br />
<br />
Clothing designed to have specific functional properties incorporating new fabrics and technologies, but worn as everyday clothing.<br />
Many brands that exemplify this style are the result of collaborations between fashion designers and sportswear brands (e.g., Y-3, Gyakusou).<br />
<br />
Some of the clothing takes design cues from military garments (starting with Christopher Bailey's reintroduction of the military inspired aesthetic).<br />
<br />
Other techwear designs feature clothing with a streamlined, technical look. At some points similar to streetwear, but with a emphasis on human interaction with the elements through technology. Smart fabrics, digital gadgets and the like are coupled with the clothes themselves making many fit for outdoor activities as well.<br />

==Lunarcore==<br />
[[File:Lunarcore.jpg|200px|thumb|right]]<br />
'''Examples of Brands: '''<br />
<br />
There is no definitive marker of 'spacecore'. The style itself is rooted in choosing garments that fit a specific feeling, thus forcing the wearer to mine various designers for unifying threads and in doing so reject the vision offered to them as consumers. The unifying thread is retrofuturism, but could just as well be post apocalyptic cowboys as far as the ethos is concerned.<br />
What we are doing is using pre-existing products to make a non-existent statement. We are turning the product into the means of production. Like sampling records, but with moods and styles.<br />
Space/Lunarcore is about how you use what you have access to in order achieve a look. Color is far more important than in the drapey black stuff /fa/ usually goes for.<br />
You need to think critically, build a narrative around your clothing and color choices. Things become appropriate and inappropriate according to how they are framed within the fit. You need to use pieces as symbols and signifiers, telling a story with your outfit.<br />

==Heroin Chic==<br />
[[File:chic.jpg|200px|thumb|right]]<br />
'''Examples of Brands: [[Yves Saint Laurent Rive Gauche]] (Hedi Era), [[Dior Homme]] (Hedi Era), [[Saint Laurent Paris]] (also Hedi Era) <br />
<br />
More of a "look" than a style of dress, heroin chic became popular in the 90's starting with a Calvin Klein runway show featuring Kate Moss and a series of Vincent Gallo photos featuring emaciated, pale, drug-addicted looking models. Heroin prices were dropping and the purity was much better at the time, which helped increase its popularity.<br />
<br />
The style was dead in the magazines when, Gisele Bundchen was dubbed the new supermodel in 1999. Nowadays, though, it carries on in fashion with a much lighter tone thanks to our teenagers who insist on dying due to anorexia which, as a result, places Heroin Chic in poor light.</div>EightyOnehttp://tuxbell.com/index.php/StylesStyles2013-09-26T09:41:16Z<p>EightyOne: /* Traditional */</p>

The style was dead in the magazines when, Gisele Bundchen was dubbed the new supermodel in 1999. Nowadays, though, it carries on in fashion with a much lighter tone thanks to our teenagers who insist on dying due to anorexia which, as a result, places Heroin Chic in poor light.</div>EightyOnehttp://tuxbell.com/index.php/File:Lunarcore.jpgFile:Lunarcore.jpg2013-09-26T09:34:02Z<p>EightyOne: </p>

If you are in your twenties you will probably realize that your hair is no longer as strong as it once was and your forehead is getting higher and higher. Balding kicks in.<br />
<br />
== Solutions ==<br />
=== Medication ===<br />
For now medication can only stop your hair loss. What is gone is gone. As balding is usually hormone induced, medication like Finasterid will regulate certain hormones down. Regulating hormonal balance by drugs often has side effects, in this case impotence.<br />
<br />
=== Hair transplants ===<br />
Cosmetic surgeons can transplant single hairs from the back of your head to the front. It's expensive, but delivers good results. Nevertheless it is only a worthwhile intervention, if the hair loss has (been) stopped. This is no meaningful option if you are still in your twenties.<br />
<br />
=== Deal with it ===<br />
Get /fit/ in order to have presentable facial aesthetics. Grow some facial hair and get a buzz-cut.</div>EightyOnehttp://tuxbell.com/index.php/BaldingBalding2013-06-23T12:26:28Z<p>EightyOne: </p>

<div>== Store Tiers ==<br />
<br />
'''Shit-tier:''' The stores that are a common beginner's trap, and should be avoided. Often have poor build quality, fit, and just look plain bad. <br />
<br />
'''Mall-tier/Fast Fashion:''' Good for basics; t-shirts, underwear, socks, etc. Recommended for poorfags. Buy sparsely and do NOT build a large wardrobe with these stores.<br />
<br />
'''Low-tier:''' Bit more pricey, but at this stage odds are you'll be dressed much better than people around you. Build quality is a cut above mall tier. Tumblr-core usually fits around here. <br />
<br />
'''Medium-tier:''' Some entry level designer pieces, and at this point the clothes are very "nice". Quality menswear/streetwear often fits in this category. Fit and build quality are high. <br />
<br />
'''High-tier:''' High fashion, designer pieces. Top tier menswear as well as some light gothninja pieces can be found here. <br />
<br />
'''Artisanal-tier:''' Hand-made with skill that approaches that of an artist. This has nothing to do with design and everything to do with production methods. A boring design done fully by hand (example: a full bespoke two button suit) is 'artisianal'. Many designers source their clothing from artisans, but not all designer clothing is 'artisianal'. <br />

|-<br />
| TOPMAN || {{Mall-Tier}} || Similar to ASOS it tends to be hit and miss, however they do have a good returns policy and if you avoid the typical 'lad' items (usually t-shirts with pop culture references) and it should be decent.

| Yoox || {{Medium}} || || http://yoox.com/<br />
|-<br />
| Zara || {{Mall-Tier}} || Notorious fast-fashion retailer. Jumps aboard every trend's bandwagon and mass produces their own knock-off versions. Poor quality clothing for cheap. Generally very slim-fitting. Not awful if used sparingly. || http://www.zara.com/<br />

|Goodyear Welt<br />
|The Goodyear welt process is the traditional method for the manufacture of men's dress shoes, taking its name from the inventor who devised the original machine to replace the earlier completely hand sewn method. The benefit of a dress shoe which is made using the Goodyear welt construction is that the shoe can be resoled repeatedly, giving the shoe a lifespan of years, sometimes even decades. Some claims towards added ventilation have been made as well but there are no proven studies comparing the breathability of different shoe construction methods. Most probably the materials play the largest part in the ventilation issue.<br />
<br />
Essentially, the upper part of the dress shoe is shaped over the last and fastened on by sewing a leather, linen or synthetic strip (also known as the "welt") to the inner and upper sole. As well as using a welt, a thread is used to hold the material firmly together.<br />
<br />
The welt forms a cavity which is then filled with a cork material. The final part of the shoe is the sole which is attached to the welt of the shoe by some combination of stitching along the edge of the welt and sole, and a high strength adhesive like contact cement or hide glue. The Goodyear welt is highly regarded for a number of reasons including being relatively waterproof by not allowing water to get into the insole due to the welt-sole construction, the relative ease in which the sole can be replaced, and the fact that the shoe can last up to 20 years or longer depending on the treatment and condition of the upper.

Most probably the materials play the largest part in the ventilation issue.<br />
<br />
Essentially, the upper part of the dress shoe is shaped over the last and fastened on by sewing a leather, linen or synthetic strip (also known as the "welt") to the inner and upper sole. As well as using a welt, a thread is used to hold the material firmly together.<br />
<br />
The welt forms a cavity which is then filled with a cork material. The final part of the shoe is the sole which is attached to the welt of the shoe by some combination of stitching along the edge of the welt and sole, and a high strength adhesive like contact cement or hide glue. The Goodyear welt is highly regarded for a number of reasons including being relatively waterproof by not allowing water to get into the insole due to the welt-sole construction, the relative ease in which the sole can be replaced, and the fact that the shoe can last up to 20 years or longer depending on the treatment and condition of the upper.

<div>New to /fa/? Come here from MFA and need to start over? Girlfriend burn your clothes? We understand.<br />
<br />
Here's where to find some wardrobe essentials on the cheap.<br />
<br />
If you are out of shape, pay a visit to [http://www.4chan.org/fit /fit/] and return when you have your ideal body.<br />
<br />
This [[Introduction]] is a '''strongly recommended''' read for ''both'' genders.<br />
<br />
== Tops ==<br />
<br />
'''T-Shirts'''<br />
<br />
You don't want tees that fit too close to the body nor tees that are too baggy. Be prepared to try a bunch of brands before you find a cut that fits you the best. Also try to figure out whether v-necks or crewnecks flatter you better. You still want to have both though.<br />
<br />
*Plenty of grey, black, and white tees. These are neutral colors that can almost be worn with anything without spending too much thought and will provide solid base to expand upon. Colours such as navy, burgundy, beige and olive are good if you are confident in being able to work them into your wardrobe.<br />
<br />
*Solid color tees in colors that suit you well. Desaturated/muted colors work well here. They generally shouldn't clash or match with your skintone. Newbies: Stick with solid color tees until you acquire a taste for what designs on a graphic shirt work.<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Shirts (Button-downs/ups)'''<br />
<br />
For reference, button-downs and button-ups are simply referred to as "shirt" by the majority of online stores. Other shirts will often be labelled as such, e.g. tees, polos. Fit is everything here, especially in a business environment where it is difficult to stand out.<br />
<br />
* Amount varies greatly - if your job requires them, get more. DON'T BUY: black dress shirts, striped dress shirts. Trust us. White, light blue You can opt for solid colors to play it safe, go for a gingham, or another subtle pattern. Buy flannels sparingly.<br />
<br />
*There is a difference between a dress shirt and a casual shirt: For a dress shirt you will be looking for something constructed with clear shoulder seams and a stiff collar. With a casual shirt you will look for something with little construction that fits loosely, perhaps a size up. A dress shirt will usually be a little longer in length with curved tails in the front and back. The length and tails help to keep the shirt seated when tucked in. A casual shirt not meant to be tucked in will usually have a straight bottom hem. <br />
<br />
A shirt with "puffy" bunches around the waist when tucked in are cut too large around the waistline. This may indicate that shirt is oversized or the pleats at the top are too generous. Start with the proper size then look at shirts with smaller pleats or no pleats and for tapering around the waist. You may also have a tailor put in darts in the back area but this may result in a shirt that appears too well-fitted.<br />
<br />
== Bottoms ==<br />
'''Shorts'''<br />
<br />
*Color: As a beginner you should avoid patterns and go for a solid colour, common colours are black, navy and khaki.<br />
<br />
*Length: Make sure when buying shorts that they are the right length - choose pants that are above your knee but don't show off all of your legs, a good length is 3/4 or 4/5 thigh when standing. <br />
<br />
*Fabric: Common acceptable fabrics are chino, linen, or seersucker. Avoid denim shorts, they will always look bad unless you are named Tobias Fünke. If you are in high school they can be somewhat passable, but you must make sure they are a dark color denim and you roll them so they don't look like cut-offs.<br />
<br />
'''Pants'''<br />
<br />
*Contrary to what your dad told you: you do not want pants that stack up on your shoes nor do you want pants that could fit your leg into each side twice over. Look for pants that are made with a taper that stop at an appropriate length(This would be your ankle). If you aren't able to find well fitting pants or are not able to afford the pair you find then you can take your pants to a tailor and get them altered to a perfect fit.<br />
<br />
*An opposing point of view* No break or highwaters is a more modern trend but it's not for everyone. I wouldn't recommend it for taller men because anything cropped makes it appear that you can't find clothes that fit. In a formal setting go with a traditional fitment unless a modern cut is the image you want to project. With a full break, the hem of the trousers should touch the top of the shoe sole at your heel. With a half break, the hem of the trousers should be a half-inch or so above the shoe sole at the heel. With no break, the hem should just touch the shoe on the top by the lacing.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Jeans'''<br />
<br />
*Jeans are very casual and shouldn't be worn anywhere other than a casual setting.<br />
<br />
*Color: Once you have your first pair of jeans you may want to expand your collection, good starter colours are black, khahki and burgundy for the more adventurous. <br />
<br />
*Skinny Jeans: If your waist is 28 and your legs are 32 you do not buy a pair of skinny jeans that are 28x32 because they will look too tight. Remember: Just because you can fit into it, doesn't mean it fits. However if tightness is what you're looking for it is advisable to try them on first. Some may be too small to even get on while others may be too loose.<br />
<br />
*[[Raw Jeans]]: these cost more, but are typically of higher quality. Pre-washed/aged jeans are usually frowned upon as it tends to look really cheap, unpersonal and fake.<br />
<br />
== Shoes ==<br />
<br />
<br />
/fa/ usually tries to keep their shoes as simple as possible design-wise. Try to avoid irritating colorways and overly confusing lines, but then again it all boils down to taste. Just remember, less is more sometimes. <br />
<br />
[[Sneakers]]: Sneakers are extremely versatile, and a great replacement for whatever you are wearing now(probably). They can easily be dressed up or down. A few pairs, in mute colors like white or black, should cover your wardrobe and not break the bank. <br />
<br />
[[Boots]]: Boots are often less versatile than sneakers, but are just as vital to a wardrobe. A black and one brown pair are a good start. <br />
<br />
See our section on [[Shoes]] for more detailed information and a list of recommended brands.<br />
<br />
== Outerwear ==<br />
<br />
For the most part, fleece jackets and vests should be avoided as they are overdone, unstylish, and usually just bought because they are a cheaper alternative. Also try to avoid jackets with a lot of 'gearing' such as unnecessary belt straps, an excess of zippers, buttons, or straps, several pockets which would likely go unused, and very flashy designs in bright colors. Anything "overstyled". The style of jacket/coat which you may find yourself using is usually heavily influenced by the style you are attempting to use (i.e. You would not see a man into menswear wearing an oversized orange parka). ''Pictured right is an example of an /fa/ user "doing it right". Notice how the jacket drapes yet isn't too large where he looks like a child in it. Also notice how the solid coloring doesn't conflict with the outfit below it, and in fact, compliments the color and silhouette of it.'' The outerwear should never conflict with the outfit underneath it and should never be the main piece of an outfit, or else when you take it off, you just become basic. <br />
<br />
When it comes to brands, don't be shy to only go for what you can afford, as outerwear can easily end up being one of the most expensive pieces in an outfit. Even though you'll find several anons who detest the name, The North Face isn't an entirely bad place to start off with outerwear, so long as you don't mind the obnoxious branding and steer clear of the over designed 20 pocket ones. To find the best, though, you may have to search if you aren't satisfied with the brands in the [[Brand Reviews]] section of the sticky as most people on /fa/ aren't too knowledgeable on the subject of what makes quality outerwear and what an appropriate price is. <br />
<br />
Undercoverism makes good jackets for people with more money.<br />
<br />
== Accessories ==<br />
<br />
'''Watches'''<br />
<br />
Watches should make a welcome addition to any outfit. They will need to be simple to avoid looking tacky. e.g Nato strap watch.<br />
<br />
*Cheap: Timex Weekender, Casio F-91W<br />
<br />
'''Hats'''<br />
*Is it cold out and you need to cover your ears? Wear a toque.<br />
*Is it extremely bright and sunny and you don't want to burn your neck? Wear a widebrim<br />
*Streetwear? Try a five panel.<br />

<div>fat people may or may not have normal-size feet. It might be useful to revise this to say that while fat people should be going to fit, if they're close enough they can start with shoes, though investment in pants and shirts is dumb<br />

<div>Cheap Monday is is a swedish jeans brand, most famous for their skinny-fits. The brand was bought by [[H&M]] in 2010. The same year the inverted cross was deleted from the skull logo.<br />
<br />
== Review ==<br />
Considering the low price of 50€ for pair a of jeans, the quality is fine.<br />
<br />
== /fa/'s Opinion ==<br />
The brand was called [[fuccboi]] several times. Nevertheless they are generally accepted as low tier jeans.<br />

== Stores by Price ==<br />
==== Mall Tier / Fast Fashion ==== <br />
(Good for basics; t-shirts, underwear, socks, etc.)<br />
<br />
*[http://www.americanapparel.net/ American Apparel] Has basic t-shirts in a variety of cuts. Tees fit well even for slimmer people.<br />
<br />
*[http://www.ae.com/ American Eagle]<br />
<br />
*[http://www.aldoshoes.com Aldo Shoes] Shoes will fall apart within a month. Only buy on SALE.<br />
<br />
*[http://www.asos.com Asos] For the home brand quality can be variable, although as the price entails it usually isn't the best however some items do look and fit well. They also have a great and easy returns policy making it easy to try out clothes. The site also offers items from higher tier brands. Has sales on quite frequently.<br />
<br />
*[http://cottonon.com Cotton On] Dirt cheap basics (<$10); great sales. It can be hard to find good fits here, but the upside is that you won't have wasted a lot of money if you decide you don't like something. <br />
<br />
*[http://www.hm.com/ H&M] Recommended for very basic pieces and occasionally more stylish pieces, terrible quality, don't buy shoes from them.<br />
<br />
*[http://iheartyours.com/ I Heart Yours] Sells very basic, inexpensive shoes.<br />
<br />
*[http://www.express.com/ Express] Good for better fitting dress clothes. Brown people (Indians, Hispanics, Brazilians, etc) love it alot for some reason.<br />
<br />
*[http://www.forever21.com/ Forever 21] Has a fuckton of items in many eclectic styles, but quality is sometimes dubious. Best to use for experimenting with styles without shelling out too much money.<br />
<br />
*[http://www.gap.com/ Gap, Old Navy, Banana Republic]<br />
<br />
*[http://www.jcpenney.com/ JCPenney] Good place to nab Levi's jeans if you cannot find an outlet<br />
<br />
*[http://www.macys.com/ Macy's]<br />
<br />
*[http://www.pullandbear.com/ Pull & Bear] Similar to H&M, but more colourful.<br />
<br />
*[http://www.ralphlauren.com/ Ralph Lauren]<br />
<br />
*[http://www.riverisland.com River Island] Extremely similar to topman. <br />
<br />
*[http://www.target.com Target] The Mossimo athletic fit t-shirts are decent and the Merona line is a good way to fill up a new white collar worker's wardrobe on a budget with some tailoring. If you can find what you need on the clearance racks and do your own alterations, it is very good value.<br />
<br />
*[http://www.topman.com Topman] Similar to ASOS it tends to be hit and miss, however they do have a good returns policy and if you avoid the typical 'lad' items (usually t-shirts with pop culture references) and it should be decent. Their Stretch skinny jeans and chinos stretch out quite a bit. Suits and blazers are great looking especially considering the price.<br />

Here are weird sort of Japanese Ebays but things go crazy cheap here. Talked to heaps of people that have found anything from Yohji Yamamoto to pre-2000s Helmut Lang and MMM for less than $50.<br />
It sort of requires heaps of dedication and watching so idk, ive never put in the effort myself.<br />

== Stuff to add ==<br />
Yo I'm tired of making brand pages that are irrelevant, so I cleaned up the list of things that this wiki should have that I posted in the other thread<br />
<br />
* [[Colour Theory]] - Please add to this one<br />
* [[Silhouette]] - Please add to this one, or post any informational links about this on my talk page so I can expand on it<br />
* Style theory<br />
* "Wearing a costume" and how clothes should reflect your personality<br />
* The difference between the former and dressing for occasions<br />
* Personal style (Kind of covered by /fa/scist's spheal)<br />
* Materials<br />
* Construction<br />
* Alterations, tailoring, and making your own stuff<br />
<br />
if you think of anything else pls tell me<br />
<br />
- guy<br />
<br />
== Open Suggestions ==<br />
<br />
I moved the suggestions page here so I can answer them.<br />
<br />
*What about people reviews on brands? Could be cool. Definitely going to second the brand reviews. More than y/n lists please. I would want to know /why/, if I were coming at them for the first time, otherwise threads will transition from "what brands" to "why these brands" and leave out the ever pressing question "WHY IS IT SO EXPENSIVE"..<br />
<br />
*Guides to various fit "forms". From Yohji to Hedi. There's a lot to say for knowing the ins-and-outs of various silhouettes and how they can be achieved.<br />
<br />
*It'd be nice if someone could write up a "should I cop this" checklist for people who don't know better. Like: 1.) Is the fit right? 2.) Do you have the money for it (the cop) right now and wouldn't have to cut back on essentials to get it? 3....4....5, etc. '''If somebody wants to make a flowchart for this, go right ahead. Maybe get somebody from /gd/ to throw one together and we'll give them credit/link their portfolio or w/e.'''<br />
<br />
*I feel that people need to be more introduced to fashion philosophy and ideologies, why we buy the things we do, image and presentation and expression and translation in fashion, how to "use" fashion, the effect it has, etc etc beyond just "looking good". yes, looking good is good but we need more knowledge to be dropped so people can actually be aware that fashion is much larger than just clothes and outfits and "w2c"? and whatnot. yes some people don't care about fashion that much and just want to look a bit better. i'm just saying that the knowledge should be more widely available so people are aware, and they can choose to do further research into it and improve. i used to know nothing but lurked alot and met people and started talking to people over sz about this kind of stuff and i've been much, much happier now than i was before when fashion was only about outfits and impressing others<br />
<br />
*it's easy to find out where to buy this and that and look decent, but to look truly "next level" and unique, self reflection and deep thought is needed. i guess what im trying to say is knowledge is power, too many people are staying at the same level when they have the potential to be something much more beautiful '''wat'''<br />
<br />
*put as much stuff on here that answers the plens retarded questions. the sticky will be basic advice, /fa/ can be actual fashion discussion.<br />
<br />
*Suggestion 28: maybe some /fa/ mannerisms? eye contact etc<br />
<br />
*p-plz have an australia page<br />
<br />
*How to be a faggot. Also info about hair, like how to cut yourself to save money, NOPOO explanation, what kind of place you want to have it done (I had my done by some cheap spic lady a few years ago and it came out horrid, nothing like the photo I showed her, the barber did much better), etc. Also seconding the "r8 brands" and why. Pretty much a better/more expanded version of thefaggotstore I guess<br />
<br />
*An article listing and describing various types of textiles (linen, cotten, wool, leather, etc.) and fabrics (raw linen, worsted wool, tweed, pima cotton, canvas) would be nice. '''I agree, somebody please make this and add it to suggested pages.'''<br />
<br />
*add a BUY&SELL/BARTER navbar so seller anon can sell to fuccbois to hearts' content~<br />
<br />
*Make a "Categories" page, rather than just a unsorted list of articles listed on the left (eg : wikipedia like organisation).<br />
<br />
*What are these $brand$/Opinion sites good for? This should be included into the usual brand sites, '''Because the opinions will clutter up the page once there are a bunch of them - not admin''' But it is still shitty this way. It would be better to have those individual opinions on the brand page, using this collapse thingy. I added it on the Yuketen side, take a look.'''Could you explain why you think it is shitty please, a separate opinion page allows more detailed reviews, pictures, and removes the possibility of people editing themselves into brand pages for "/fa/ rep" (yes there are people that do stuff like this, i've seen it already). its a wiki though, so i'm not saying you're wrong, i just wanna know why''' The expand/collapse-function-way would be more decent in my eyes, but you seem to have a good reason to sort this stuff out. Maybe there is a way to have a third entry in the page/discussion row named opinions so it is still on the brand page.<br />
<br />
*What are your thoughts on adding a SALES page? It would be a good resource for anyone wondering about any active sales (for example, SSENSE and LN-CC are having a sale right now). The page also gives people a great incentive to keep checking back on the Wiki. '''Daily stuff like this is probably better posted on /fa/ itself instead of some hidden wiki site. Though notes on regular sales like it is done for some brands in the stores list is useful.'''<br />
<br />
==Closed Suggestions==<br />
<br />
*Anything about Trips: '''This was okay at first, but it got way out of hand. The trips section is now gone. Create an account and message me if you want to talk about it.'''<br />
<br />
*There should really be a "getting started" section. Topics covered could include reasons for dressing better, that "taste" picture that's on the front page of the current sticky, a primer on colors, etc. '''Introduction section created and linked on the front page for this.'''<br />
<br />
*image boxes like on wikipedia, for adding pictures without disturbing the flow of text '''done'''<br />
<br />
*Weight loss tips. Not how to get ripped, but how to get an /fa/ body.'''The fit sticky covers this well, and there are links to it here.'''<br />
<br />
*Make sure people can contribute as well, they shouldnt need to contact you to change things. '''Done, it's a fucking wiki'''<br />
<br />
*It would be a good idea to have a really solid "basics" guide. Like the place to get cheap and decent quality tees, sweaters, jeans, jackets, sneakers etc. with a focus on affordability/quality so that people don't ask totally basic questions about this stuff. '''Men's & Women's basic section added'''<br />
<br />
* Maybe it's just me, but I like wikis that include board history. I really do enjoy reading up on those micro histories of anonymous peoples. '''About /fa/ created for board history''' <br />
<br />
*>tfw no qt 3.14 girlfriend ;_; '''iktf ;_;'''<br />
<br />
*A place for charts would be nice. '''Infographics/Charts section created'''<br />
<br />
*I think histories on different styles could be really cool. '''Styles section created'''<br />
<br />
*A gallery with pictures of Casemods '''"Pictures of Casemods" does not exist [yet].<br />
<br />
*a better shop list '''Go and improve it, then.'''<br />
<br />
*Sorting designers into general catagories, i.e. if you like this style, here are some more like it, etc. '''I advise that you list notable designers when editing the Styles page for this purpose. Or I could add pages like Streetwear Designers for the Streetwear section, etc'''<br />
<br />
*Update the Australia store guide. Every store listed under cheapish is nort cheap '''Update it yourself m8, it's a wiki'''</div>EightyOnehttp://tuxbell.com/index.php/Talk:Men%27s_BasicsTalk:Men's Basics2013-05-30T14:46:28Z<p>EightyOne: /* What to Wear During What Season */ new section</p>
