get a bowl cut

>>2344

I kinda agree, but you just have to make a your own style, your own mix of stuff.

>the nextlvl ones are costumey

That have always been the case.

>get a bowl cut

I would yell you to do the opposite if you can.

Spiky hair w/ frosty tips. We already have mutated slim version of 1994 here, 1999 is just around the corner.

I think the main problem is that there is no masculine clothing anymore. There is no "tough fashion" anymore. I think it's because we have less of a 90s revival and more of a 60s revival.

Let me explain: Back in the day, we had lots of subcultures that had to project a tough, masculine feeling: In the 50s, you had the greasers. In the 70s, you had the beginning of punk and metal. In the 80s, you had metalheads. In the 90s, grunge. In the 2000s, hip hop and br00tal kidz.

Note that the 60s aren't mentioned, because 60 subculture was hippies, and they didn't want to look tough.

In essence, in the 60s, we had the same as now: Everybody wanting to look nice, nobody wanting to look tough. Which results in fashion that seems philistine and harmless on one side and geeky and feminine on the other. In case you didn't notice: We also don't have subcultures anymore, everyone is a "light hipster", so to say. Nobody wants to be edgy, everybody wants to fit in. Harmless, boring.

That's why normcore made such huge wave. You looked like a bum, yeah, but like a male bum. Like someone who didn't fit in -something that is unheard of today.

So yeah, guess we have to wait for the next decade or at least till 2016 or so, when people feel like rebelling again. The way things are now even Emos were tougher.

To add to this:
I think one of the reasons for this is this SJW shit. I don't want to get political, it's just an observation of how pop culture and youth self-image have changed.

I'm in my 30s. Back when I was young, being accepted by parents, the government, mainstream society would have been a social death sentence. Being accepted as normal would have been the last thing anyone would have wanted. Being cool means being somewhat abnormal, somewhat uncommon after all.

Compare to today, where people ACTIVELY FIGHT for being accepted by the mainstream. This is poison for coolness. This kills the subculture, and it kills the fashion.

What about workwear

>>2387
Workwear is over and never was actually workwear. It was hipsters cosplaying proletarians. Skinny jeans and rimmed glasses for physical jobs, really?

>>2389
It's feminine. Note that it only looks good on skinny, androgynous males. Everyone, not matter if you were fat, skinny, tall or short could wear greaser, metal, punk and hip hop fashion.

>>2404
Also, "thug" or "dangerous" would be the last thing I'd think about someone wearing the stuff.

When have fashion being different?

>Everyone, not matter if you were fat, skinny, tall or short could wear greaser, metal, punk and hip hop fashion.

Not all of them would look as good though.

I think a more rugged look for men without looking too hipstery works. You have to have a frame for it though, if you're 5'9 and weigh 112lbs and wear wood green pants with a chambray shirt and some quality boots you look like a fag and probably have a Maclamore haircut.

If you have a more masculine body and dress like a guy in a wrangler add you'll have a more traditional casual men look.

The biggest issue is people dress for who they want to be and it's very transparent and it comes off as trying too hard. find a look that you're comfortable with that nets you compliments. If you dress like everybody else you're essentially a mindless dullard who can't dress themselves. Go buy tapout gear and jerk off to UFC videos.

>When have fashion being different?
Always? This is the first era where anyone but a 15 year old anorexic cannot look fashionable. Averagely built adult man? Forget it.

>Not all of them would look as good though.
Depends, fat greasers or gangstas fit the style very well.

>>2421
>rugged, like a guy in a wrangler ad
Reality check: Who dresses like that? Right, nobody. You'll look like a hipster fag.

>>2389
no such thing, it's all just techwear. hate these arbitrary microgenre names.

>>2446
I think Wrangler ads actually would work (you'd have to get fit and probably be able to grow a pretty decent beard). The thing is it's basically exaggerated blue collar clothing from the 60s. Denim short, beat up jeans, work boots. You can use that with a shit ton of stuff. Get a good amount of denim and warm flannel shirts, usually subdued colors for the flannel not hipster purple or anything. Jeans are a must but nice black chinos or something might be good for a dressier look. I'd get a pea coat, probably vintage?, and wear that over it. probably some type of buttoned sweater under it in subdued colors. Dress like a fashionable dock worker I guess?

>>2550
Oh and work boots obviously. You might look like a hipster but I can see that being a good look. Great for the winter too. I'd say light sweater and single color t-shirts for the summer probably with darker tennis shoes or something.

>>2389
That look works on him because he is extremely handsome and looks sketchy regardless of what he is wearing. I look extremely fucking German and friendly, most of us couldn't pull that off

Seriously, just go to r/mfa, grandads.

Why can't men dress masculine?

>>2349

I saw someone with curtains the other day in tescos

>caring about what other people are doing
>caring so much that it dictates what you do

I don't know OP
maybe you should just kill yourself since everyone else is living

>>2388

You don't have to be so snide with your heightened vernacular.

>>2446
>Always?

Calling bullshit on this, even with current trends.

The best way to look /fa/ is to be confident in your fit. If you're slightly chubby, muscular, even downright fat, just don't show any weakness. Walk strongly, stand strongly, just show nothing but confidence and dress nice.

>that pic

10/10 would kill with fire

Reddit please. Halfchan's /fa/ has that same 'comfycore' and 'dadcore' shit too.

It's the man, he's stickin' it to us. It's the anti-style.
