male vs female proportions

Please dont.

All this shit thread is going to spawn is more faggots drawing lines over everything trying to make up rules for a subjective thing.

>>9140197
>in streetwear, oversized tees and drop crotch creates a really big elongated torso and looks hypermasculine,

Im with you up to this point
I've tried on long tees and drop crotch pants and I felt they were incredibly emasculating

>>9140200
Don't bother, he's just making shit up. The best part is that he doesn't even get that silhouettes for gender specific dress code changed with the time. Lots of casual style jackets and military dress in the 30s for males had ultra short torsos and high waists.

What if you're like me and you're a generally skinny person with thinner arms?

Usually I just look daft because the lower sleeves look far too baggy.

>>9140202

of course I'm making shit up, I made this thread so you can explain this stuff to me.

wider shoulders seem pretty universally masculine to me. got any counterexamples?

>we could actually have a discussion instead of you waving your dick around

>>9140211
whats the point

If you want counterexamples just compare suits from the 30s to suits from the 80s (with shoulderpads going ultra masculine) to slim suits today.

"Discussing" any of this is completely pointless.

>>9140228
Following up on this: The problem here is the fact that you already posted what there is to say about silhouettes. The basic human gender shapes are FACT, as shown in your picture. BUT the application of said proportions and shapes is SUBJECTIVE, meaning that if the faggot with the skinny jeans wants to look feminine that's his choice. There is no point in discussing any of this further. Dissecting outfits just to be able to say 'durrrr short torso wide hips is feminine silhouette' is just really retarded and shows the video game mentality of todays youth trying to level up their game.

>>9140261
>if the faggot with the skinny jeans wants to look feminine that's his choice

that's exactly what I said here

>which I expect the guy on the right is doing intentionally

I was curious to see the same thing with other articles of clothing

>There is no point in discussing any of this further.

what is there to discuss next?

>shows the video game mentality of todays youth trying to level up their game

I don't understand what this means

>>9140267
>what is there to discuss next?

Nothing that's the point.

>I don't understand what this means

It means that trying to rationalize subjective things into something applicable is retarded.

You basically said all there is to say in the OP and then there was nothing more to discuss.

>>9140261
You're being very closed minded if you think that there is nothing more to say about silhouettes. If op has indeed posted the basics of gender based silhouettes, why not expand the discussion?

We could talk about how to play around with different silhouettes to achieve a more interesting look. Let's talk about how to use footwear as a way to highlight or play down the upper torso.

The point is you're killing a potentially good thread by acting like an ignorant child. You're becoming angry and trying to shut down a conversation with the bullheaded argument that discussion is pointless. It's not surprising that most people who are actually interested in fashion leave this board with people like you around.

>>9140276
That's really boring discussing how to play around with those things instead of just doing it.

Why don't you build outfits that achieve a more interesting look instead of posting about it on here?

>>9140281

>Why don't you build outfits that achieve a more interesting look instead of posting about it on here?

we do both... isn't that the point of the board?

why don't you share your (or anybody's) outfits that achieve a more interesting look?

>>9140284
No thanks. The second I post something 'I' find interesting you'll just get subjective and shit all over it because I'm not interested in inane discussion.

All this 'being interested in fashion' as an excuse for inflated 'discussion' and pseudo intellectualism is what is actually killing anything nice this and other boards had.

Just wear something nice you find fun and interesting and stop with all the empty talking.

>>9140281
Why discuss anything then when we could just be doing it? Have you read what you're writing? You sound like an idiot who's trying to act high-minded.
Posting pictures and discussing various patterns, forms, designers, shapes, and looks assists in the understanding and cultivation of style. The more you learn, the more you can apply to your own life.

I don't think a fashion discussion board is the place for someone who doesn't want to discuss anything.

>>9140291
>The more you learn, the more you can apply to your own life.


There's that mentality again. No, looking and runway shows and 'understanding' silhouettes isn't going to make you dress better. Just like buying yohji couldn't help junior acquiring taste.

>patterns, forms, designers, shapes, and looks

All this shit you're listing is not going to help you grow. It's just more things you can mark off of your lifehack for fashunz cheat sheet.

>>9140286

dude I'm curious, what's your idea of a good thread on /fa/?

>>9140307
There are no good threads on /fa/. When was the last time we had a thread about film? One that wasn't 'oooh the costumes are so effay'
When was the last time there was an actual discussion about your living conditions and how you present yourself in those that wasn't 'lel its impractical to wear a suit grocery shopping'
When was the last time there was a discussion that was deeper than just 'hey look at patterns, forms, designers, shapes aren't they effay?'

All this inane shit has no value. It's just a copout for all those teens that have no personality trying to gather social currency because they can namedrop shit.

Just look at the people that get ignored and shit on @ unwoven. Fucking junior for example still doesnt get that buying yohji thirdhand and looking like a box in malaysia isn't what'll make him 'find himself'

>>9140316
Pretty good bait dude

>>9140323
yeah man totally meme dudebro

Fuck this, you niggers will never learn. Have fun buying your flavor of the month shit and listing it on you 1 like tumblr posts with a million tags

imo your sentences are incomprehensible enough, but your punctuation etc is too good for what you're trying to accomplish, the @ seems out of place, keep working on it

>>9140329
Maybe you're just too retarded and '4chan' to get it?

>>9140323
Though I dont approve of the toxic tone of his post, that anon is making a good point. Being "fashionable" isn't about defining yourself with expensive labels. Its about your life, knowing who you are, being "self-actualized." Clothes are just what comes out of that, not the other way around

At least thats what I am getting out of it. I think he is taking this all too seriously though

>>9140316
You are a faggit.

>>9140334
Nah, I'm not taking it too seriously, it's just a habit to write like that which makes it seem toxic.

In reality I'm just baffled and disappointed that this board hasn't grown past the 'If I learn enough about fashion I will grow as a person'

Really whats better? Going to a flea market or something and finding a jacket that reminds you of the same one you had as a kid and loved to death wearing it with a feel of warm nostalgia and selfworth

OR

reading up on when rick studied at the trade school or memorizing production codes just to buy you first RICKS off of grailed thirdhand for 1k

Ye good points
But with /fa/ it's so easy though

no circlejerk, especially now that there are no worthy trips (almost)

no registration, no cliques, no shit like that, which inevitably comes with registered users, upvotes or whatever, karma and shit like that

you come, you post, you read, you ask, answer, call someone a tasteless whoreson hack and go on

no hassle. unlike with other forums, which require registration, where you have to deal with some retarded cliques, retarded humor, metamemes etc. no karma either. ofcourse there are far superior places to discuss fashion/clothing than /fa/, but they require HASSLE. fuck that.

Is one of these supposed to not be fucking abysmal or smth?

we should write a choose your own adventure together?

>>9140351
That's why I don't like to post anywhere and I think fashion discussion is total garbage on here&elsewhere. Unwoven came close with being something different but when the 4chan crowd showed up trying to be cool with the ex SZ crowd it just got really cringey.

I think the real problem is the fact that people don't get that sometimes less is more.

The poor teenagers on here shouldnt be thinking about 'grails' to 'cop'

OR what silhouettes are interesting

but rather just wear whatever and go on a road trip with girls and friends and have a few experiences first before pretending to be something they arent

>>9140351

backwards, karma and upvotes allow normal people to post without feeling too uncomfortable

we exclude fuccbois through retarded humor instead

and high tier fucking multinational tactical espionage shitposting action apparently

>>9140354
>besides the point

Everything is abysmal to you if it's not what YOU like

which shows you're grown up FAR more than the rest of the board

>>9140357

how will I (a poor ex-teenager) go on road trips with girls (!) and friends without first pretending to be something I"m not?

>>9140341
no, I am being serious. You dont think theres truth there? It doesn't matter what you wear, if you don't have a personality, if you aren't an interesting person, you won't look good. If anything, it will bring out your insecurities.

>>9140338
That post hit a little close to home. My jimmies were rustled. Especially

>When was the last time there was a discussion that was deeper than just 'hey look at patterns, forms, designers, shapes aren't they effay?

I agree wholeheartedly with cultivating a sense of identity, "You wearing the clothes, not the clothes wearing you." Was that along what you are saying?

But, I think there have been a few posters here who do engage in second hand markets, do go out and seek designer clothes, but are in fact very fashionable, interesting people.

>>9140368
You don't. You just decay and rot away on here. It's just natural.

>have been

there is the point

Also it doesnt matter if they buy designer or anything like that

what MATTERS is the INTENTION

if you just hoard designer shit because you think your collection is going make you look cool on the internet

OR

if you wear every piece of designer cloth you got to death, alter it and let it become part of you

You're making generalizations about all /fa/ posters based on the shitty threads that reappear time and time again here.

You assume that everyone here just wants 'social currency' by being able to namedrop. I can see how you'd reach the conclusion based on all the silly threads like 'cop or not' or 'supreme drop tomorrow'. There are also people here who want to discuss and learn.

The fact that you talk about not being able to find yourself talking about clothing labels points to your own insecurity. If you had 'found yourself' you'd realize that some people who are comfortable with who they are still like to discuss clothes. Fashion is a hobby for those not working in the industry. Fashion can be more than a currency. It's a form of beauty that can be researched, dissected, discussed, and appreciated. Of course you don't need it to live your life and be yourself. That's fucking obvious, so don't act like you've discovered some great realization.

>All this inane shit has no value. It's just a copout
There are plenty of new people who have just wandered here from elsewhere on 4chan or the net, but that's how many people start out. You crawl before you walk. Plenty of people like myself have lurked on /fa/ and sifted through all the bs to harvest things that appeal to them. Sure, there's lots of stupid stuff on this board, but shitting on the few attempts at serious dialogue just makes it worse. The board is only a copout if you let it be.

Grow up and move on if you are just gonna be a dick.

Describe a situation where a professor stifled creativity with his own agenda?

What's different about your approach to grading to prevent this? Do you grade based on how closely the student follows his intent? Does ambition or originality of intent factor?

>>9140486

I'm eager for a specific example or story. As an engineering major I'm curious how your classes were graded. Even in classes where we have freedom in our approach (i.e. no right answer) there are still objective and quantifiable metrics for success. The same doesn't seem true in fashion.

Do you grade (or get graded) on commercial success? Merit of the image? The aesthetic you're communicating? How do professors justify a grade? Can you share a rubric?

No chance. From my perspective, clothes are in the domain of engineering, and designing an effective jacket or backpack is no different than designing a cell phone or heart valve.

I'm sure you see things quite differently, and I want to understand how you see the process, both of making clothes and of formally educating people to make clothes. My college is primarily engineers, so it's not easy for me to talk to fashion students.

Hopefully you won't feel the exposition is wasted on me. We are both learning how to build things, after all.
