1. I agree.
2. I agree.
3. Wrong. If you have a shit phone, you are limiting yourself unnecessarily.
4. I agree.

As for the advice:

1. Yes.
2. No no no no no why the fuck would anyone wear cowboy boots.
3. Meh, sure.
4. Undershirts have a purpose.
5. Sure, but superdry is shit.
6. No.
7. Plain or cap toe oxfords, no wingtip or brogue shit.
8. Absolutely wrong.
9. Meh, some people can pull off khakis in casual fits.
10. No, keep shirts relatively plain.
11. Sure.
12. Probably the most sensible thing you've said in your entire post.

I should have prefaced this by saying I am from Texas. I have girls all the time tell me straight up "cowboy boots on a guy are hot." So some of this is perhaps regional advice. But I see celebrities dress like this all time as well. This would be considered normal and fashionable here (and I would assume anywhere).

How is this politically correct? Actually, never mind, the debate is pointless because the only people complaining about political correctness are insecure beta males shitposting "triggering!!!" gifs. The rest of us are getting the fuck on with things.

Woops I forgot one thing. Do NOT button the top button on a polo ever.

Do not do this on a button up shirt unless you are wearing a tie. It looks atrocious.

>>10821885

"yeah Im curvy but theres more of me to love hehe"

>>10821846
This is a great example of why you should never take an average woman's advice of clothing. Those girls think men who represent their masculine ideal for a cowboy are hot. The boots have nothing to do with it.

For people disagreeing with me, I am only aggregating the advice from females, or fashion that I have seen attract females. Most men have terrible fashion sense when it comes to dressing casually. And if you ever point out how bad it is, they will say "Fuck off, I'm a man. Men don't care how they dress!." Then they proceed to dress like some kind of transgender.

>>10821769
Why does everyone have such a fucking boner for 'timeless' fashion
I like that there is something very contemporary and iconic for my time pieces of clothing in my wardrobe
Fashion of different periods and eras are also really interesting in how they differ and what was in trend and how the fashion changed
Get back to reddit you fashion fearing normie fucking scum

That's not what timeless is. You're attempting to force a singular style into timelessness, when in fact multiple cases of styles and pieces are timeless.

>>10821925
You're right, even if I personally love timeless clothing.

OP is an idiot who thinks one type of style is all that is timeless.

>>10821769
>>10821769
I know this is low quality bait, but just incase you're serious - you genuinely have very shitty taste and that is terrible advice

It doesn't surprise me that people disagree. Almost every thread on /fa/ is someone posting a pair of atrocious Nike's with a black sweater or hoodie. As if that's..."fashion".

>>10821925
Timeless is just safer. It's like the Coldplay of fashion.
If you're going to be original, you're going to be wrong more often, but you'll also occasionally be fantastic.

>>10821920
Do you own a passport?

>>10821944

Really? Point out exactly what is bad advice. Let's hear it.

>>10821952
I think you can be timeless, but still interesting. You just need to know what you're doing.

Example is high waisted pants and an interesting shirt, i dunno. It could easily be timeless, but interesting.

Oh dear, either you're complete tory fasch scum or this is bait

Starts with picture wrinkly cunt of a leather jacket. Not even a motorcycle jacket, probably not genuine leather, looks like some washed up Chinese crap.
>STOP doing the following:
Don't tell people what to do faggot. Show don't tell.
>1. Wearing jogging/basketball shoes/. They don’t look good or stylish. I keep seeing Nike, Adidas, etc. If you want a pair of Adidas, get a nice pair of sambas.
Being a brand whore instead of spending your money on things that have utility. If you play basketball, you can probably get away with Jordans because you're probably in the same crowd of losers that wear them too. "Trying to get a girl with a brand then you hella wont"
>2. Baseball caps. These automatically knock a point off. There is nothing “nice” or stylish about them.
Some superficial women like caps. Dress to impress.
>3. Phones are not an accessory, and nobody cares what your phone is.
A lot of modern teenagers use smart phones for their stupid insta shit. Somebody might not fit in to certain crowds without one.
>4. Vans, sketchers, converse…sigh. Be creative. Those are basic at it gets. If you want to be stylish with a pair of Converse, get a pair from John Varvatos.
All those brands are all for high school kids but for some reason they are still in fashion in smaller clicks that really don't care about what's /fa/. I'd never be caught dead in them, but a black pair of converse is about as "timeless" as it gets. If you're wearing John Varvatos you're a total faggot.

>>10821769
1. They aren't my style, but I can't bash athletic looks.
2.Agree
3.Agree
4.Wouldn't "basic" and "recognizable" be more "timeless"?
5. Change this to "any basic classic boot" without any frills
6. Lol, only if you live in the southwest.
7. Meh
8. Lol
9. Sure
10. Match your colors with your complexion, hair, and eye tones.
11. Cap or plain toe would be better, even if I like wingtips
12. Just like the ever utilitarian neck tie!
13. Boring
14. Western shirt? Why not throw in a nice bandana too?
15. Yeah, I can agree with this.

I'm just going to go out and say the trick to being "timeless" isn't following a list, it's finding what works for you. Adhering to what you like not because it's trendy, but because you like it. Wearing fits that suit your body type, not the fits that are in vogue. Once you get the basics of form, fit, color, pattern, and context, and as long as you're mindful, pretty much any aesthetic can look good.

Haven't you seen that episode of That 70's Show where Hyde explains Fez is still a virgin because he wears chukkas? Then Kelso says, "they make me want to up chukka". Why would you get some felt covered shit boots when you can get something waterproof for the real world?
>Get a nice pair of cowboy boots
Only you have the personality to rock them.
>Get a nice pair of retro Asics (Onitsuka tigers), or Diesels or New Balance classics.

>Do not wear undershirts. Wear the shirt you want to wear.
Why not?
>Get a nice leather jacket. Superdry and Diesel have some awesome fitted ones. Girls will always check a guy out in a nice leather jacket.
If you buy a leather jacket and don't ride a motorcycle you're a poser. There are plenty of weatherproof alternatives that will make you look less of a faggot.
>Wear different shades of colors, almost everything I see here is either white, black or grey. Wear greens and purples more often.
It's far more important to wear what pleases you than to buy colors that other people like.
>For work, get a least one pair of wingtips for the office.
Yeah, that will get you that promotion you deserve but never ask for.
>Watches are a waste of money. You have a phone. Do not wear glasses unless you HAVE to have them. This includes sunglasses. They are not a fashion piece.
Sunglasses are very /fa/. Watches are jewelry, there is nothing wrong with that.
>Wear blue jeans for anything casual, avoid khakis unless you are going into the office
What about Shorts? Black Jeans? What the fuck?
>Buy some nice western/plaid shirts
Especially if you're a faggot
>Lastly, don’t wear hoodies or sweaters unless it’s actually cold outside. Hoodies in general are not a fashion piece.
DON'T WEAR SWEATERS UNLESS IT'S COLD. YOU HEARD THE MAN.

there's a lot of things wrong about this entire post but this stands out the most.

literally what the fuck man.

>>10822115
OP is obviously a retard, but I disagree about leather jackets/motorcycles. I ride an 80's Honda 650 CB and I own a very un-/fa/ leather jacket because I want spine, shoulder and elbow protection. I don't look at normies walking around in leather jackets and think they're posers. Plus, some of the nicer, slimmer ones would probably be smart protection when riding a bicycle.

>>10822181
>and I own a very un-/fa/ leather jacket because I want spine, shoulder and elbow protection.

A motor-cross armor would do a better job than a leather jacket though.

>>10821876
"do not wear a polo at all" would be good advice for starters.

That's horrible advice. Polos are great for casual work attire, you don't have to iron them, and they can show off your physique if you are in great shape. Try again.

Maybe a teenager or something. But every phone is a smart phone, and very phone looks the same and does the same thing. It's not like a pair of shoes that can vary vastly between two people. A phone is just a blank screen with a button on it (sometimes).

>>10822507
it's still says a lot about you though.
an iphone can mean you value simplicity and utility, or you like to show off status, or you're social w/e.
and android can say a lot you too, but it varies on the manufacturer. but it can generally mean you're tech savy, a tinkerer, like customization, etc.

It literally says nothing about you. About half of all people I know simply get whatever phone their plan can get them cheapest. Or they get hand-me-downs from others.

Anything that's not build as a riding jacket will probably rip off like toilet paper. There are a lot of people who wear 60's Police style motorcycle jackets and don't ride. The history as flight jackets and use with motorcycles far outweighs the newage punk scene. Most leather jackets are the lowest of the low in leather quality therefore have no function for long term protection from rain either. Nobody waxes their JCP jacket like one would a Langlitz.

>>10822276
>leather jackets look cool
>dressing to look cool
Seriously dude you sound like a tryhard. I went through a leather jacket phase when I was like 10. There is nothing cool about dressing like Fonzi or pretending you're a punk. If you want to stay warm and dry get a fucking windbreaker and sweater. If you ride a motorcycle, get something legitimate like a Langlitz or fuck off. Stop trying to be cool and just be yourself.

You could say that about any fashion piece, so the argument doesn't make any sense.

"You're gonna wear skinny jeans? Stop trying to dress like Justin Beiber or some skinny beta male."

I don't wear skinny jeans, but they are pretty popular, despite being the staple of all goths, edgelords, outcasts, punks, etc.

>>10822984
And what about the rest of the post???

If you lived in a rainy part of the country with puddles and shit, would you rather get a pair of rain boots at the store or a pair of tennis shoes because you'll look cooler?

Shitty metaphor, but please name one instance where a leather jacket has more function as a utilitarian garment then a similar jacket in price. Owning a leather jacket is nothing but flashy and unfunctional unless you ride a motorcycle.

>>10823022
This is a board for fashion, if you want to just wear completely utilitarian clothing that's on you but you'll look like a goof

>>10823036
>>10823041
There is nothing /fa/ about trying to be someone your not. You wouldn't buy a parka if you lived in a desert, even if it made you look /fa/. Why would you buy a leather jacket if you wanted to stay warm and dry? There are plenty of other more valid alternatives, unless you ride a motorcycle.

>>10823041
>>10823036
Form follows function.

>>10823054
because some jackets are worn when it isn't cold enough to warrant a goose-down parka? Do you live in the middle of the Sahara or the fucking Arctic where temperate weather just simply doesn't exist? Leather jackets have long since been disconnected from just people riding motorcycles. By that same shitty logic, you shouldn't be wearing jeans, because those are for coal miners and there are better alternatives, and you shouldn't wear cowboy boots because those are for cowboys. I'm willing to bet you're the braindead OP because only you could be so fucking stupid to think like this.

>>10823054
>thinking motorcyclists wear random fashion leather jackets and not padded ones designed to be comfortable in the riding position

>>10823069
Leather jackets are fedora core, and presently a passing fad at best. Any climate you live in, you'll smell like sweat or be dealing with your unwaxed drenched soggy leather that wouldn't protect you from a motorcycle wreck instead of just wearing a sweater like a decent person who has a clue. Your value as a human is about the same as the edibility the plastic fruit in my grandmothers living room. You'd probably change who you are to make a girlfriend too. Looser.

Get real. They have been making somewhat of a comeback lately, and that's the fad I'm talking about.

this board has such terrible taste in fashion. every time I come here I see people looking like they're homeless and calling it fashion. if you want to look classic and stylish all you need is a pair of dark jeans and a nice sweater from banana republic or similar. maybe top it off with a nice pair of leather dress shoes (check out aldo if there's one near you) and you're good for any situation.

ask any female and this is what they will say is most attract for a man to be dressed as.

Banana Republic is great. A lot of my leather shoes and work wear comes from there, as well as some casual stuff, especially jackets for winter.

I love how anytime someone agrees with me, even a little, they think I'm posting as someone else, even though the writing style is obviously from someone else.

You have no idea how deep this cuts. But I'll still wear my Doc Martens with my goodwill jackets because I can't justify having empty pockets and buying all my products from Jews that manufacture crap overseas.
