Chelsea boots are not /fa/.

these ones aren't, don't generalize when there are many different styles. though the origin of the Boots are far from effay standards as they were made for cowhands to wear, they have since become a staple in the SLP heroin chic style

>>11665883

For men? No, they aren't

>>11665904

The main problem is that they are such a standard shoe for those getting into fashion that it becomes obvious that you are trying to be fashionable. With Chelsea boots there is no chance you can pull off just being naturally fashionable, they are too contrived.

>>11665925
yeah but simply stating the boots themselves aren't fa is wrong when it's the people wearing them in shitty fits that are not fa

No, they're /fa/ but played out nonetheless. Its like >>11665925 said, same with CPs although still uncommon among normals for anyone into fashion it looks like you just bought the starter kit

>>11665943
>>11665933

I will concede to your statements.

>>11665904
problem with this is that 99% of people who look at SLP and go on to buy chelsea or sidezip etc boots dress in a way that has absolutely nothing to do with SLP or heroin chic.

theyre literally the fashion equivalent of neckbeards who think wearing a suit jacket with an anime shirt and cargo shorts automatically makes the whole outfit classy.

>>11665918
Why not? It's actually predominately a "men's" boot anyway.

>>11665998

What planet do you live on? Maybe that's the way they were originally conceived, I don't know, but for 99% of normie fashion, chelsea boots are female only.

>>11665883
once i see a pair at H&M i know it's over.

>suit jackets with elbow patches
>bomber jackets
>longline tees

all things must come to an end.

>>11666635
I live in a city, and I would say I see more men wearing them than women.

But does it even matter?

>>11665883
They're super comfy T B H
Plus I just wear em with jeans and a T shirt and normies compliment me on em.

you guys are looking too deep into this, stop caring what shoes you're wearing and what shitty normies will think.

get god tier hair, skin and posture, achieve the body type you want, and wear basic shit that's comfortable (chelseas, sneakers, derbies) it's not so difficult. Get off the internet and quit thinking way too hard about such a simple choice. I miss when /fa/ was about legitimate discussion regarding the quality of certain labels, new designers, what makes a fit look nice etc.

You have any clue how ridiculous you sound? A boot design that is well over 150 years old is "played out"? Classic English footwear your grandfather would have probably worn and your grandkids will probably wear aren't anywhere near played out bub. There's a reason minimal white sneakers and Chelsea boots are so popular, and it's that they look good on a lot of people.

>>11667850
why 2 zippers

>>11667279
That's what your mother said about you after she shit you out.

>>11665918
So qt on grills I don' even care when you live in an unfashionable place and see them wearing it your heart melts a bit

>>11667889
Cool detailing. I guess you could get a more "fitted" wear if you had fatass ankles you could drop the zippers down halfway on each zip, but its mostly just to look cool.

>>11667900
What is this sentence?

Has the /fa/ demographic dropped off to uneducated high-school drop-outs, now?

>>11667927
It always has been.

Hence the ever-pervasive STOP LIKING WHAT I DON'T attitude

>>11667850
This is why i left this shithole, not people like you but you exposed the reason why

I only come back to laugh and to see what fuccbois are into these days

/fa/ is the most hipster shit ever, they talk smack all day about how overplayed, tryhard and horrible shit is and can barely dress themselves decently and barely use examples in the theory crafting pretentiousness that has dominated threads

Its just hard to not laugh at your narrow views when 90% of stuff in WAYWT is laughable.

fashion by meaning is following trends and whats popular, all that matters is a decent look that hasnt been recycled by half a country

>I only come back to laugh and to see what fuccbois are into these days
Its funny, cus /fa/ has for some reason turned in to a board that follows the mainstream, except that they are a little bit behind. Back in 2011 for example it was all about being contrarian and peacoats and boots and messenger bags

Being honest here, 2016 has been the slowest year in regards of fashion, everything look like something straight out of a fashion week from 2002 but still, /fa/ has derailed itself staright into fast fashion, myabe because some people started to realize fashion is not just following trends thus leaving only 15yo kids who just want to look swag or attractive to the regular american bitch or they just want to be in and get attention, i blame that on all the /b/, /fit/, /soc/ and /pol/ users who startrd to participate in this board before even lurking or grasping basic fashion concepts like colours and proportions

TL,DR this boards has become /b/ but with some Jeremy Scott shit

Been around forever, never going anywhere. Hopefully reddit gives up on them soon, though.

I don't get it, those meetup dudes seem to be hardcore /fa/ posters, the guys before seem to be arguing against "dressed by the internet" shit

>>11670119
Extremely similar style. You would wear it the same way

hey senpai, need your help
i would love some CP chelseas but dont know where to find them in Syd and online they seem to go for $700 AUD so i wouldnt mind similar alternatives

Ive seen Story Et Fall and they look good and all but after you convert the $ to AUD and with shipping + import chargers (or whatever its called) it ends up being $500-$600 anywas

is there a good alternative or a place where they actually sell CP chelseas in syd to at least try em out

this is the most generic shit ever. far from being fa. you're not proving anyones point but op's

>>11666952
fuckin bring the hell back boys.

>>11673323
It's "generic" yet still miles better than the XXXL Holister tee and 42X26 dadwash jeans that Joe McEveryman is wearing.

>>11667850
I'm screen-capping this, this is actually a helpful reminder for people who overdo everything.

>>11674993
nope ur average homeless vet looks cooler than that

no one should be shamed for not caring about clothes, but when someone is clearly trying hard to dress cool and failing at it, they deserve the scorn

>>11675624
Except that fit isn't "failing" by any stretch.

It's an incredibly basic oufit, yeah, but by no means a "failure".

Your shitty biases != facts.

>>11675626
oh please god, when the day comes that i think ear plugs, nose rings, and pre-pre-pre-pre-faded diesel jeans looks good, please God, please strike me down oh lord

>>11675626
third party here

massive upper body w tiny legs looks objectively stupid

>>11675629
Two of those things are irrelevant to the outfit itself, and while buying pre-faded jeans is dumb, the light wash works in that fit.


Not a failure of an outfit.

(I do agree that gauges are dumb though.)

>>11675631
I wouldn't call that upper body "massive" but I agree that his legs could use a bit of bulking up.

My Grandfather smoked his whole life. I was about 10 years old when my mother said to him, 'If you ever want to see your grandchildren graduate, you have to stop immediately.'. Tears welled up in his eyes when he realized what exactly was at stake. He gave it up immediately. Three years later he died of lung cancer. It was really sad and destroyed me. My mother said to me- 'Don't ever smoke. Please don't put your family through what your Grandfather put us through." I agreed. At 28, I have never touched a cigarette. I must say, I feel a very slight sense of regret for never having done it, because your post gave me cancer anyway.
