Can tote bags (on men) be /fa/? Thinking about getting pic related,

why is this "ironic"?
I think tote bags look fine on men. And I think this tote bag looks fine as well

>>11786507
Gay and overplayed. Avoid at all cost.

what is ironic about npr

>>11786515
The style I tend to go for is post-hipster (perhaps post-post-hipster?), but I don't have enough money to be a yuccie, and my politics don't align with theirs (and thus neither with NPR's).

I like the aesthetic of the bag, that much goes without being said, but I need to wear it "ironically" because it's part of my way to avoid association with the yuccie crowd.

For instance, if it helps you to understand, I never wear flannel.

>>11786539
you sound like a faget

>>11786539
it must take alot of effort to be so insecure

>>11786542

I'm a semicloseted hetero-leaning bisexual, but I prefer the term "biromantic." I usually just say I'm straight, but still fawn over certain men.

My style is something that I have been working on for some time now. It sounds really pretentious when I try to describe it, but I personally think it looks rather effortless in person.

>>11786548

It honestly really does. The important thing is that I don't let myself come across that way to others. I think my self-consciousness stems from my small penis, in that only I and those around whom I am most comfortable know about it, yet I constantly feel that I am being judged for it, despite knowing that couldn't possibly be true.

>>11786539
dude what the fuck. just get a fucking blank tote bag if you're this insecure about the whole thing.

A blank tote bag wouldn't be as ironic as an NPR tote bag, which is the whole point of this. I already have a backpack with which to carry my things (pic related). It's about the fashion aspect.

>>11786566
you got a handful of problems more pressing than which ironic tote bag to cop brother

Porter or briefing tote would be okay
Actually Patagonia came out with a really nice tote bag recently
well I don't know when it came out but I saw it at their store and it's built like a tank

>>11786588

I have a coping mechanism. It's copping shit like ironic tote bags.

The only brand of potato chips that I eat is Utz, for instance.

As long as you carry it like it's a shopping bag and not like a purse, nobody is going to give a fuck.

>>11786621

What if I carry it like a purse ironically? It has the benefit of being easier to carry that way. Or is the bag itself ironic enough?

guess any bait is acceptable these days

>there are people on /fa/ RIGHT NOW who are too insecure to hold a tote bag like a purse

>>11786672
>Carrying it in the least aesthetic way

>>11786692
I dunno if your outfit is on point then adding a tote can look nice

>>11786667

OP here, I am actually being sincere. I'm being a little bit melodramatic, but this is actually how my fashion sense works.

>>11786692

OP here, this is kinda what I'm talking about. What ways is it acceptable to carry a tote bag, and if I break those rules, how far can I push it until I enter territory that is either too edgy or simply unaesthetic?

>>11786699
Just carry it however you want you insecure turd

>>11786699
a three way tote can be worn three ways; backpack, one handed, or over the shoulder
basically follow that guideline and stop being a fuccboi

>>11786704
>>11786705

This shit isn't what it's about though. I don't want this to be effortless, I want to think about it to express myself in the most efficient way possible. Every detail counts.

SURELY THIS MUST BE SATIRE

>>11786731

Ideally people will be able to pick up on the irony. If they can't, then I know what kind of person they are, and I can know to separate myself from them.

>>11786715
hurry

>>11786507
only the rick owens ones

>>11786539
NPR is not that ironic yet

>>11786556
Let me guess, sometimes you're not sure whether you want to kiss them or be them ?

>>11786566
A-are you me ?

>>11786566
How small ?

>>11786588
It's not easy, you know. You might never experienced life that hard. However hard your life is, if it's not having a small penis it's never really that hard.

This thread made me so sad

I hope you fix your problems some day Op

>>11787562
i hope one day surgery can be cheap

>>11786507
npr is a good idea but definitely not that one

If you are gonna be a tryhard at least get something nice

>>11786507
tote bags are so effay i'm gonna get one

>>11787657
what's with wide tote bags ? they're ugly as fuck

>>11787580

Why not this one? I think it's p aesthetic, with the added benefit of the level of irony brought to it by the NPR logo

I like the Patagonia in the Oaks Brown, but it's $120... is it worth that cost? Like is it really that durable?

Alternatively, their canvas logo one is also nice and is only $30.

>>11786507
yeah man I've been using this Herschel tote in college. been getting compliments on it. I guess its getting more acceptable in the states now.

>>11786539

good thing you typed your great idea here before telling anyone in person about it

don't

>>11787939

Obviously I don't fucking talk to people about it IRL, otherwise I'd have someone to talk about this potential cop with instead of you assholes.

bump, want some other opinions on these totes

>>11786539

I want to punch you

>>11786539
what is your decision process when you put on clothes

Sure, if you want to accentuate your love of picking your wife's son up from the kindergarten.

>>11788826

This is what I mean by ironic

>>11788809

I want to be able to stand out, but only if you pay attention to me first

>>11788794

Why?
