Jeans offer excellent fits and fast fading, if that's what you're into, but construction is relatively poor compared to brands at a similar price such as Naked & Famous, and in the last few years production has been outsourced to Macau. Size down 1-2 sizes depending on the fit you want; they stretch a crazy amount.

High quality basics too, but can be a bit on the pricey side.

== Carpe Diem ==
Defunct brand, too next level to live. Carpe Diem transcended mere mortal constraints by avoiding typical designs and fashion completely. They would never advertise and refuse editorials, allowing the clothes to speak for themselves. And speak they do, with an understated luxury and quality that lead to quite a large cult following. The collection consisted of four main lines: Carpe Diem (footwear and leather pieces), L'Maltieri (knitwear), Sartoria (made-to-measure) and Linea (mostly jackets, trousers and t-shirts). Founded by Maurizio Altieri along with Sara Lanzi, Luca Laurini and the dude who does A1923, they broke up to pursue solo endeavours: m.a+, Sara Lanzi, Label Under Construction and A1923 (Augusta) respectively, so it's quite rare and hard to find these days except through collectors and occasional archives online.

== In Aisce ==
Began in 2009, designed by Jona. Just Jona. He was born on a farm below the Rocky Mountains and has traveled around the globe, taking odd fashion jobs in a range of places, from Japan to Indonesia to Taiwan. "In Aisce" means "in vain" in Gaelic, which embodies Jona's brand philosophy--"I think that no matter what we do, if we don't do it right, it's "in vain"—fashion, especially." Influences come from many aspects of his life: music, architecture, nature, with many of his pieces channeling a nomadic, tribal theme, contrasting sharply with the geometric edges used in more recent collections. Textures also play a big part in his work, as they allow irregularity within the confines of the planned and confined space of clothing.

== Paul Harnden ==
Sews like a drunken monkey, but he's no ape. Designed by its notoriously private namesake, the brand produces consistent, anti-seasonal designs, made in small mills around England. The clothes are inspired by turn-of-the-century agrarian uniforms, with his coats being the most prominent and recognizable pieces, notable for their utilitarian design and full bodied fit. It's hard to put your finger on what exactly makes Paul Harnden so memorable--is it the meticulously sewn and designed buttons, the loose but restricting cropped pants or the crumpled but sophisticated textures? One thing's for sure: Once you've seen Paul Harnden, you'll recognize him anywhere.

Excellent pants for the price and a must cop. Jeans are [[vanity]] size. The general rule of thumb is to size down 2 for Weird Guys and 1 for Skinny Guys (due to inevitable stretching).

If it's your first time, go for the Weird Guy fit in 1 size smaller than your normal waist (i.e. if you buy 30x32, get a 29). They might be a bit tough to button up at first, but they'll stretch into the perfect size. Weird Guys are the most universally flattering, and fit more body types than Skinny Guys. DO NOT buy slim guys, they're straight cut and usually look stupid.

y-3 is not inherently a YY product, it is an addidas produced, designed product with input by yohji.

=== Lima feu ===
Yohji's fashion designer daughter.
real name is limi yamamoto, She took a new name after stumbling upon the word "feu" in a French dictionary.

Her latest collection had a few looks that paid homage to Christian Dior Couture, and the label's decision to take on Raf Simons after a year or so of having the atelier head the label. (previous designer John Galliano was let go after going on an anti-semetic rant in a bar in paris after a showing during fashion week, freedom of speech is not included in the French constitution, his rant was against the law. the label had let him go shortly after)

Sieg Heil: /* Menswear */

--Any information on a certain style goes here. The history of a style is also welcome.

==A Small Note on Styles==
If you haven't read the introduction, do it now. This page is for different styles, not only in fashion, but in life itself. Many people disreguard their day-to-day life when attempting a new style, and this is where they fail.
Be concise when looking for your ideal style. Don't be a try-hard, don't be an actor.

== Traditional ==
'''Examples of Brands: [[Thom Browne]], [[Tom Ford]], [[Isaia]], [[Brioni]], [[Ralph Lauren Purple Label]], [[Martin Greenfield]], [[Calvin Klein Collection]] '''
[[File:Koo-nyfw-60.jpg|200px|thumb|right|]]
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 in the outfit serves great importance in Menswear outfits, as well as controlling the quality of the clothing you purchase. Cheaply made, ill fitting Menswear is a recipe for disaster, as it's 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 on the town.

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 includes the wearing of fedoras, ill fitted suits and general bad taste. Menswear is difficult to pull off if under the age of 25.

Clothing in this type of style highly emphasis construction, material quality and difficult pattern-making work.
Such examples are the obsession with Loro Piana cashmere and often regarded as the best wool in the world Ermengildo Zegna, and a emphasis on Bespoke labels and construction techniques.

Difficult pattern making/finishing work as seen on the skeleton style lining of Oxxford brand bespoke suits.

'''Examples of Brands: [[Supreme]], [[White Mountaineering]], [[A Bathing Ape]], [[Undercover]], [[WTAPS]], [[Visvim]]'''

[[File:1351140081880.jpg|200px|thumb|right]]

Streetwear is usually regarded as the most flexible style on /fa/, with multiple possibilities and damn near anything can be called streetwear. Streetwear is mostly personal preference and has many forms, ranging from your typical snapback-wearing adorned "swaggot" (one obsessed with the concept of swag) to Japanese workwear.

Streetwear can be described as practical, fit for everyday wear and even light physical activities. The general rule of thumb is that it cannot contain easily spoiled pieces, and is not unusual for typical big city setting.

Artisanal styles are a much less accessible, niche aesthetic. The style is humerously referred to as "Goth-ninja" (taken from a misguided young woman in the summer of 2007 who made a blog post about her new found love of a rick owens show titled "crust" ) by those who oppose it, though this should not be mistaken for the appropriate term. The usual defining features of this style are grayscale color palette, unconventional proportions, in typically low quality fragile knits meant to tear and conform to the wearers body - but really, anything goes.

Common artisanal fads in the past were minimalism (late 90's), deconstruction (early-mid 00's), and now feminine/women's wear designs applied to meanswear pieces. (rick owens pioneered this with skirt jeans, heels and one shoulder strap tank tops shown in the men's and women's collections, Rick owens is considered to many UNI-SEX, as some men wear women's leather jackets and some women wearing men's wear from these collections)

Many pieces are made with unique techniques, treatment (ombre dip dyes, carol Christian poell leather dipped in latex rubber and let dry), and materials.
A vast majority of "Artisnal" 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. (maison martin margiela is the only brand known to do this).

Many of the people who appreciate this aesthetic share the same appreciation for craftsmanship, modern design.

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.

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 in the outfit serves great importance in Menswear outfits, as well as controlling the quality of the clothing you purchase. Cheaply made, ill fitting Menswear is a recipe for disaster, as it's 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 on the town.

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".

'''Examples of Brands: [[Dior Homme]] (Hedi Era) mainly, but anything skinny and black applies'''

Heroin chic became popular in the 90's, and it's where ex-Club Kids went to die. Starting with Calvin Klein's campaign featuring Kate Moss, and Vincent Gallo shooting emaciated, drug-addicted looking models, it was quickly devoured as the hottest style. Heroin prices were dropping and the purity was much better at the time, which helped increase it's popularity.
The style was dead in the magazines when in 1999, Gisele Bundchen was dubbed the new supermodel. Nowadays, it carries on in fashion, though with a much lighter tone thanks to our teenagers who insist on dying due to anorexia and make Heroin Chic look evil.

It is more about the body than other styles; you can't be Heroin Chic while looking perfectly healthy and/or plump. First stages of anorexia are preferred, since it's a matter of looking glamourous while feather thin, not dirty and sick. Dark circles under the eyes are a bonus, and you need to appear like an elegant trainwreck.

Streetwear is usually regarded as the most flexible style on /fa/, with multiple possibilities and damn near anything can be called streetwear. Streetwear is mostly personal preference and has many forms, ranging from your typical snapback-wearing adorned "swaggot" (one obsessed with the concept of swag) to Japanese workwear. A good place to begin learning about streetwear is hypebeast and superfuture.

Streetwear can be described as practical, fit for everyday wear and even light physical activities. The general rule of thumb is that it cannot contain easily spoiled pieces, and is not unusual for typical big city setting.

[[File:1355649565428.jpg|200px|thumb|right]]

Artisanal styles are a much less accessible, niche aesthetic. The style is humerously referred to as "Goth-ninja" (taken from a misguided young woman in the summer of 2007 who made a blog post about her new found love of a rick owens show titled "crust" ) by those who oppose it, though this should not be mistaken for the appropriate term. The usual defining features of this style are grayscale color palette, unconventional proportions, in typically low quality fragile knits meant to tear and conform to the wearers body - but really, anything goes.

Common artisanal fads in the past were minimalism (late 90's), deconstruction (early-mid 00's), and now feminine/women's wear designs applied to meanswear pieces. (rick owens pioneered this with skirt jeans, heels and one shoulder strap tank tops shown in the men's and women's collections, Rick owens is considered to many UNI-SEX, as some men wear women's leather jackets and some women wearing men's wear from these collections)

Many pieces are made with unique techniques, treatment (ombre dip dyes, carol Christian poell leather dipped in latex rubber and let dry), and materials.
A vast majority of "Artisnal" 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. (maison martin margiela is the only brand known to do this).

Many of the people who appreciate this aesthetic share the same appreciation for craftsmanship, modern design.

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.

Combines clothing with a sort of technical look: Many straps, pockets, zippers etc. Derives from common streetwear, but with the twist that it focuses on human interaction with the elements through technology. Smart fabrics, digital gadgets and the like are coupled with the clothes themselves. Many are also fit for out-of-city wear, such as in exploring natural settings and leaving city limits.

==Heroin Chic==
[[File:chic.jpg|200px|thumb|right]]
'''Examples of Brands: [[Dior Homme]] (Hedi Era) mainly, but anything skinny and black applies'''

Heroin chic became popular in the 90's, and it's where ex-Club Kids went to die. Starting with Calvin Klein's campaign featuring Kate Moss, and Vincent Gallo shooting emaciated, drug-addicted looking models, it was quickly devoured as the hottest style. Heroin prices were dropping and the purity was much better at the time, which helped increase it's popularity.
The style was dead in the magazines when in 1999, Gisele Bundchen was dubbed the new supermodel. Nowadays, it carries on in fashion, though with a much lighter tone thanks to our teenagers who insist on dying due to anorexia and make Heroin Chic look evil.

It is more about the body than other styles; you can't be Heroin Chic while looking perfectly healthy and/or plump. First stages of anorexia are preferred, since it's a matter of looking glamourous while feather thin, not dirty and sick. Dark circles under the eyes are a bonus, and you need to appear like an elegant trainwreck.

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

== Transition to a Style ==
At some point in time, you may decide to make a switch from basic wear to a new style, or perhaps from one style to another. It is important to thoroughly consider the choice to switch; one should avoid making a switch without wholeheartedly deciding that the new style is a reflection of his/herself. Oftentimes, the aforementioned styles include pieces that "overlap," so to say, with basic wear. An example of this principle is some of Rick Owens' simpler garments, such as his t-shirts. The tees implement the draped elements of the avant-garde style while adhering to the simplicity of basic wear; these pieces can also be easily layered in a manner similar to those featured in Owens' outfits.

==A Small Note on Styles==
If you haven't read the introduction, do it now. This page is for different styles, not only in fashion, but in life itself. Many people disreguard their day-to-day life when attempting a new style, and this is where they fail.
Be concise when looking for your ideal style. Don't be a try-hard, don't be an actor.

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 in the outfit serves great importance in Menswear outfits, as well as controlling the quality of the clothing you purchase. Cheaply made, ill fitting Menswear is a recipe for disaster, as it's 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 on the town.

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 includes the wearing of fedoras, ill fitted suits and general bad taste. Menswear is difficult to pull off if under the age of 25.

Avant-Garde (pronounced gɑθ nɪnǰə) is a much less accessible, niche aesthetic. The style is humerously referred to as "Goth-ninja" by those who oppose it, though this should not be mistaken for the appropriate term. The usual defining features of this style are a monochrome / grayscale color palette, unconventional proportions, textures, construction, unique materials - but really, anything goes.

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".

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.

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.
