Because they look like garbage on anyone who doesn't have a super skinny asian build and will probably fall apart after a month. | ||

guys number 1) i am actually a final fantasy character and 2) i am not a neckbeard (see pix as proof i shaved today) 3) those are like the dream clothes ever..... and you're saying they will look like trash? is that because im not super buff? these are the ones i have put in the shopping tray have a look? http://wizikorea.diskn.com/11item/tshirt/round/img/nwa022t_04.jpg http://wizikorea.diskn.com/10cara/r810_02.jpg http://x.ysi.bz/264/0006074264.jpg http://wizikorea.diskn.com/wizikorea/14item/tshirt/cara/img/nr344c_02.jpg (grey one) do any of them look like they wouldn't be shitty on my frame? im asking coz these are not as "ambitious" as the other ones posted, some of these are like tshirts etc | ||

from your posts you seem to fall into the latter. ofc I could tell you that their seams are apparently poorly sewn and they have a high chance of unraveling after a couple washes, the fabric is lower quality than h&m so you might get weird pilling, the fit is really weird unless you're somewhat built and very shredded, the clothing has clips on the backs of the mannikins to make it look more form fitting, etc etc but then again you probably won't believe me/us until it actually happens to you, so by all means definitely try a couple out and post pictures after a month or so. maybe you think our posts are nonsense and conjecture, so I guess if you feel like the clothing is something that looks 'cool and mature', then go ahead. | ||

Calm down and make sure you get exactly what you want and not the first thing that pops up  Corsair, the bomber is creased weirdly in that pic. Hopefully you have cold weather to wear it in. Uniqlo (poly) and alpha industries (cotton?) makes cheap bombers. I cant really see the jcrew website since its canadian That yesstyle infographic is something i've seen before but its hilarious every time. To echo whats been said - they market a "cool, slim, asian" look that's bait and switchy because of the way they style it and because the quality isnt actally all that good. Actually it makes me think about the minority studies stuff im learning in class... Orientalization of that aesthetic to look cool and foreign to american/western audiences but in reality a) no one dressed like that and b) its a marketing ploy to use orientalized images to their advantage. But i digress - i highly recommend against it. What about it makes it your "dream" look? Also seal in ccp reminds me of both an sf post i read about the types of ppl that buy those clothes (1 hardcore lifestyle followers 2 rich people with stylists 3) people with money in a new town 4) enthusiasts like us 5) ppl with money that have no idea what the clthes are but see the price), as well as an instagram i found of famous people in "internet approved" designer stuff. Seeing adam levine and david beckham in SLP makes me not want slp lol | ||

(also the manniquin fit) 4th one (here) (grey one) i still actually like and am tempted to buy.... i wonder what it'd look like without the design on the front? it'd still look good i think.... so where else is this product sold (will i see it in the stores?).... maybe i will see something similar irl | ||

The pictures are mostly a play on lighting and shadows and don't look half as good in real life (I've bought 1 or 2 pieces like those). It's not even a matter of body type or quality, the cut is not at all like in the pictures. I can't find it right now but there was a thread on Reddit where people took photos of things they bought on yesstyle/aliexpress/ebay, and it's pretty terrifying. My own experience confirmed it. So do as you wish, but remember, we probably won't recommend it to you. Edit: And yeah, Thaniri said it well. Fashionbeans is quite good for menswear, although I find them a bit lacking for casual clothing, and more "urban" styles are absent altogether. | ||

There is nothing else to it. awesome link yo. i started to save a few , should stop for now though. i think ill go to the shops tomorrow and try some stuff on. i recently bought like 3 vests, a tshirt, 2x shorts and 2x tracksuit trousers at sports direct.... so if i decided my look is just to wear tucked shirts + jeans then i already have 3x shirts. but i need new jeans so that's a must. i will see if there is a nice coloured shirt like that sick blue i linked. http://x.ysi.bz/264/0006074264.jpg this is a sick colour no? im guessing you need black-ish jeans to go with that colour.... ill probs have to buy 1x blackish and 1x blueish jeans. (then ill probs end up only ever wearing the blackish ones and never the blue ones....) i just dug out a REALLY old text on my phone from when at a train station i saw this sick looking guy , he had "light beige trouser (maybe cream/white idr) , black jacket and shades". now i've only ever had jeans or tracksuit stuff, there is that other type of material trousers are made from, like beige coloured trousers etc. | ||

#1 piece of advice, which I think everyone here will agree on, and has been mentioned before is: don't spend all of your money at once. It's easy to get super excited and blow $$$ like nothing on shit you won't like in 3 weeks' time, so be a bit patient. Sit on a purchase for a day or two or a week and if you really like it still then go ahead and buy. We've all been there, so this is experience talking. | ||
