 '''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.

-The clothes from Yesstyle, The Lees Shop, Doublju, 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. Additionaly, clothing from Yesstyle are made for small, slim Asian people. A small there does not equal a small in the U.S.
+The clothes from Yesstyle, The Lees Shop, Doublju, and [[Fabrixquare]] are garbage. The sleek, flattering clothes presented in pictures online is a product of careful manipulation. The clothing is held in place and fitted onto mannequins with pins, taken in flattering lighting to accentuate the fit, but hide the poor materials and cheap construction.  Additionally, clothing from Yesstyle and some of these other Asian sites are made for smaller, Asian statures. On an average american, the clothing will be too short, but the most egregious fault is the absolutely awful fabric selection and the excessive detailing like buttons and epaulets where they're completely unneeded.
 '''General rule of thumb: do not buy clothes pictured on a black mannequin, even if you see one on a huge retailer like eBay or Amazon'''
