/lit/fa/ - Literary Aesthetics & Fashion

I dont think those things are related at all..

My guess is that you have started to bald and you want to feel better about it.

You won't get that kind of validation from this board. The truth is that the bald men who are the happiest are those who are not consumed by their baldness.

I think this line of thinking has more potential than people realize. The lived life as work of art is a fascinating concept.

It's actually fairly instructive in learning to appreciate a philosophers work by incorporating not just their teachings but their aesthetics into your life.

People will reply that the folk in this thread are quote "insufferable fags" but that's because they wear zip hoodies and study comp sci.

There are a few different aesthetic threads that run throughout literary history. Imp-minded people who sport menswear like >>9878468 don't really understand this line of thought nor feel compelled to be refined or live a refined life. Then there's the question of curation. I agree that there's more to this than people might initially think.

Scholarly, with esteemed company.

/lit/ + /fit/ + /fa/ is the only way to go (in order of importance).

The problem with this is people are going to post lots of pictures of older esteemed authors and professors as inspiration. But the reality is someone in their 20s dressing like that would look like a pretentious goober.
