Voting for conducter core
There's a lot of variants on what they wear, with very dessy and casual styles. Plus it helps overalls get used more, which means it might catch on with skaters too, so who knows it could appeal to both dad core, skaters, and people who enjoy trains, smoke, and going fast In a fixed direction while polluting the skies with sweet freedom.

I was most active when the board first started and until maybe 2011. I check periodically and this is just my opinion based on some observation.

while it's still obviously shit now it was definitely worse when it was overrun by uncharismatic tripfags roughly 2-3 years ago. Although, there doesn't really seem to be anyone with esoteric knowledge left, at least from a cursory glance. Even with the tripfag storm there were still some serious conversations to be had about fashion.

imo there is absolutely nothing to be gained in terms of generative conversation by fabricating some kind of unifying 'new style'. Coordinating around novelty itself is just a spook. Pretending that having everyone explore one derivative style will actually generate anything is completely speculative and corny.

I agree, we need unity to avoid this sinking ship of a board. The only possible thing that we have at the moment is Jewelwave. It never did take off so there's still hope for it and once autumn hits i think it'll reach its potential now that most people can layer clothing. Someone start a Jewelwave thread please.

this guy has it right, /fa/ has never been very good. but if you're here for actual constructive fashion advice you're an idiot, best part of this board is the humor imo.

at the end of the day it's just a website, if you're this worked up over "the state of the board" then you need to get out more

stop forcing shit. check whats on insp threads and build your wardrobe based on what you like. all this shit posted on this thread are forced-- you can't just vote on something and make it popular.

people dress around what they find aesthetic, that's it. focus on insp threads you fucking momos

Also, lunar-core was pretty awesome and it was origined here, why cant we make something similar

>>11556206
what I hate about "cores" is that it takes a cool, interesting individual choice in clothing and memes it into a uniform

I do like some "lunarcore" but when you see legions of internet posters dressed like that (e.g., giraffe-neck and the /fa/ meetup troupe) it loses its charm

keep your cool fits to yourself and don't force them

i'm not with you on /fa/ needing a core

but i have been mixing cowboy into my fits

not legit cowboy or aldean cowboy or some mumford americana-esque cowboy

but hollywood cowboy. california cowboy. palm springs cowboy. tv cowboy. roy rodgers tom mix gene autry nudie cohn 30s-70s embroidery and embellishment, ranchwear, rodeowear, belt buckles, and boots. i'm not fucking with cowboy hats though. shit's a bridge too far and way too costumey. still haven't decided on fringe.

and yeah, hedi used some similar themes and elements because he's been mining the 1970s and there was a big country revival in the 1970s where it crossed over into rock.

and honestly, hedi's rhinestone rock cowboy resulted in some fantastic pieces that are orders of magnitude outside my price range but nevertheless fantastic.

pirate-core
conducenter-core
jewel-wave
springsteen-core

Both of you are clearly culturally uneducated and have spent more time writing criticisms on the Internet than researching your inane questions. Look up Kanye's bio.

Being fashionable is being above categories. Creating cores doesn't promote the input of the individual. A core creates an uniform.

jewelwave = jewel tones. the colors of jewels. give it a google. just a color story with no real direction.

>>11557118
wrong. look at lunarcore/palewave.

It actually promotes individuality in some way, although it gives a basic scheme it creates in no way a uniform, there were countless original fits during palewave era, same with lunarcore or ninjacore.


People will be still forced to have their individual sense but will be given some characteristics to fit in.

Who said you did? Try to follow the conversation.

you don't need to, you can be fashionable in your own way, this is just a community thing - having our own core/wave that we will be promoting and having discussions over

think of it as if /v/ created their own game
or /a/ their own animu or whatever

it's just an idea with no harm, it creates challenge and something that unites us and gives us something to talk about

This is sorta it but not exactly the pic I was looking for. For me it'd mean mostly monochrome look with occasional tan/green, boots (those fw16 Rick ones are dope)/worn out high tops, no obscure branding and some patches maybe, general 'fuck politics' attitude.

Generally an aesthetic remotely similar to skinheads, minus colours and suspenders, without boots and bombers being mandatory.
You should be somehow different from the crowd, but not enough to be distinguishable on the subway.

You listen to black flag, dk or grunge if you want to relax. You live in a big city, but kinda hate it while realizing you'd be bored to death in the countryside. You are sociable but don't drink a lot, smoking is mandatory.

You can't make /fa/ 'great again' with only one thing. If you want to improve this board you must realize that's complex. What are the problems? What solutions are possible? Is there consensus? Some people don't want any improvement. Keep in mind that before you there have been many meta threads about the state of the board without any results.

In any case, you need motivated people.

>>11555266
>there doesn't really seem to be anyone with esoteric knowledge left, at least from a cursory glance.
Most users of /fa/ indeed lack knowledge. Don't sit behind your computer all day wasting your time. Read books. Go to musea. Ask authorities questions. /mu/ and /tg/ have sharethreads, so why not here? Share info. There's that guy with the japanese mags (http://pastebin.com/Q2iDYiAM) and the guy in the /diy/ general with his books (http://www83.zippyshare.com/v/12iERp2m/file.html and http://www83.zippyshare.com/v/5yClsl5u/file.html). Also, some other dude emailed a couple of people about YSL and his Mondrian dress (https://warosu.org/fa/thread/S11497631#p11503388).

>>11557165
As a community project I can dig this. Yes! Get some people together! Don't come with 'cores' like 'jewelwave', 'palewave' or 'insurgency-core'. It is 'novel' in the sense that it lacks substance. 'Jewelwave' is following a certain palette. 'Insurgency-core' is dressing up like a terrorist. 'Palewave' is choosing clothes based on a certain palette to archive 'chillness'.
If you want challenge and conversation, perhaps create a monthly challenge where people create outfits around a 'theme'. Let's take 'chillness' again. This idea can be given form in many ways, for example by wearing pajamas's, by using certain palettes in an outfit or by creating an outfit based on the sun and the clouds. Let people talk about their outfits. Why did they choose to represent 'chillness' in this way?

>>11555231

scoop/boat are the only comfortable shirts i swear. good for showing collarbones or muscles too. there is literally no reason to wear a crewneck tee or even worse a vneck

>>11558293
the price tag of the ultimate meme shoe would probably be north of 5k and I'd still buy them rip /fa/

>>11558310
w2c scoop tees as poorfag? can i cut diy crew into boat??

>>11558326
you can diy, but it would probably suck unless you do it enough to the point of getting it down pat. i genuinely would recommend asos if you want inexpensive boat/scoop necks. just wait for a sale with free shipping or just stock up on them and get the free shipping. they have them in regular, loose, and fitted, so you can size appropriately. yes, asos is a slightly more overpriced h&m but you're fine as long as you dont buy the pant or shoes that you can get cheaper literally anywhere else.

Core/Wave/Uniform mode of thinking is not what is needed.

It promotes uncreativity and unoriginal outfits. You are basically turning yourself into a walking meme and limiting yourself to dressing for some trendy infograph telling who which specific items to wear. Which brands to suck off.

You want /fa/ to be great? The key is to instead learn about visual concepts. Concepts that are open ended in terms of application.

Just a few things off the top of my head regarding one topic:
>Color theory. Probably one of the more important ideas to think about.
The three parts of a color consist of:
>Hue: where the color resides on the color wheel. Red, Blue, Yellow, Green, Violet, Orange
>Value: The lightness and darkness of a color. Note that value it the only one of these three that also applies to no color (Greyscale)
>Saturation: The intensity of a color. Not to be confused with value. A color can be light but still washed out/dull, and a dark color can still be vibrant.

There is more to it, including color interaction, color harmony, color interpretation and probably some more I am not thinking about. Do some research. I recommend the book Color by David Hornung. You can find it on /ic/ in the book threads if you ask. It explains a great deal.

I wish to write more. Color is just my strong suit. More topics to discuss can include:
>silhouette/form
>ratios
>texture/materials
>connotations/associations(both inherent and non inherent)
>personal analysis

I think there even more then this list. Feel free to add to my thoughts.

Is this something you guys would be interested in me writing more about?

I think breaking it down like this is just as autistic as unironically pursuing a "core"

Don't get me wrong, there are formulas and rules in fits but it's way better when you just look at alot of stuff and pick up on it naturally, I think making some kind of list or guide is just pointless because there's so much variance in compositions and it's really a case by case analysis in spotting what works / doesn't because of x y z

I think people who post about /fa/ being bad just need to move on and transcend, I understand because I was there a few years ago, but once you really just have your own thing going you realize there's a massive gap in the level of the collective here vs. people who actually got shit figured out, and it's really impossible for you to help ppl who are less experienced because yeah, stuff like this can only come from experience and time, you gotta have the self awareness to look back at old compositions of yours evaluate it with a new eye, etc.

It's all pointless, and for those of you who want to "improve" the board or w/e, you're probably just on the cusp, soon enough you'll stop caring because you'll have moved on

clothes make the man but the man wears the clothes nomsayin
you have to own whatever it is that you wear, doesn't matter if it's FULL BAPE or a bathrobe and uggs
the steeziest, chillest and most fashionable people will always be those who develop their own style and roll with it

not that i'm saying that a project like this wouldn't be fun, but it's just my take on the matter
fashion is self-expression, a form of art that you can wear as an extension of your personality

and if you really want to improve the board, do it by spreading information or even OC (the foundation of 4chan), providing constructive criticism, and reminding people to peruse sources outside of /fa/
