you'll look pretty silly just wear boatshoes or loafers or whatever and continue wearing whatever teenagers wear now tbh easiest solution is probably just a pair of chucks not very 'grown up' though, but I wouldn't be really concerned with that that kind of thing comes with maturity and if you're not there yet, a pair of shoes isn't going to help you much | ||

The rest of my wardrobe is okay, I think, but as I said, I'm really new to this whole fashion thing. I usually wear dark blue jeans, khakis, or corduroys with some solid color (blue, black, white) polo shirt or casual button-down. | ||

Fashion differs so greatly from state to state and especially country to country. >.<;; I can't say I'm anywhere near an expert in fashion, just my thoughts... | ||

Also keep in mind the preferred aesthetic of many of these commuities compared to stuff like MC/dappered Also it depends where you are in life. Andy has a lot of freedom in his wardrobe, as do i and pulse bc of college. But lots of people in their late 20s+ dont, nor do they care about minute details like zippers on a jacket, nor are they interested in clothig as artform/self expression. Its just functional, and most people are happy to look good by societal standards. Not to reduce those communities to that - SF's MC is the most detail oriented clothing forum i've browsed. But for most people thats what it is. | ||

i usually don't post if i have nothing constructive/nice to say anyhow, i actually don't have a lot of freedom in my wardrobe menswear/business casual takes up the majority of my closet, I really only wear stuff I'm interested in on weekends. for some reason, a lot of menswear brands appropriate for business casual settings (eg, margiela, ervell, schneider, slp, jil sander, apc etc) are lumped into the same category as actual streetwear brands (the real yoloswagclothes) like supreme and shit. likewise a lot of niche designers (ccp, ann d, ma+, luc, etc) are also lumped into streetwear when they're really more cm than anything. | ||

oh i see. still, more freedom financially and by virtue of being young to buy cool stuff like ccp compared to those people, but i guess at that point its moreso desire to pursue those things and not other stuff. | ||

I feel like this is a common misconception. Correct me if I'm wrong, but older (40+) people have always been the true clientele for designer fashion. There's a reason slp makes jeans up to 36/38 waist. Middle aged people have more freedom financially and societally (which is earned) to wear that kind of stuff. I'm thinking the head of a design/architectural firm who has suiting from kiton/brioni along with ccp, and john lobbs next to his guidis. Young people are the marketable face of fashion, but they usually lack purchasing power and feel the need to conform in order to fit in or advance in life (one notable exception would be japanese youth culture). I think in some ways, the internet has sort of warped our perception of this fact through selective bias to the point where we think every 18 year old has geobaskets, but the somewhat unpalatable truth is that rick's real customers are 40 year old married women | ||
