As played out as short-sleeved t-shirts, jeans, sweatshirts, etc.
>tfw live in pittsburgh suburbs
>what is played out on /fa/ is breakthrough fashion, if even that
lol if i bought a supreme sweater it would be nxtlvl here. luckily no guy on my campus has good looking parka except for me.
so then... no?
>>10624225
They're a classic, they will go in and out of style a little but they will never disappear completely, like duffel coats, they come around every few years.
>>10624225
Cheap olive fishtail parkas from hm and so on are insanely popular. if you want to be different, get an intersting fabric or other features.
>>10624482
still doesn't make you any less of a basic bitch even if youre surrounded by plebs
>>10624240
Never as in they're never played out or they should never be worn?
they aint played out at a--
Can't wear them myself.
They were big when i was in school in the early 2000's in the UK and i just associate them with that period now.
I see so many basic bitches in the UK wearing these
>>10624954
hahahahahaha this is an average Uk street
what else can you wear? duffle's arent back yet, winter-bombers... come on
What about genuine military parkas?
>>10624954

It's not the kind of coat, it's the fucking colour. Every basic bitch is rocking that olive colour now.
>>10624225

Would definitely help with the winters here in Michigan as well
>>10625134
top tier if you can pull them off
What does /fa/ think of patches on parkas.
>>10626215
I think they're alright when the patches are applied well. I've been thinking of getting a new parka specifically for that
>>10626235
I am handy at sewing so can put them on there pretty good but my only problem is placement. If something was meant as a shoulder patch, I will put it on the shoulder, and since most patches are shoulder and upper arm I'm running out of space after just a few.
>>10626258
usually patches look good on upper shoulders or sides of the bicep that can be used for any type of patch. (you can usually fit up to 3-4 on an arm but that really depends on the patches)
Then there's the area right under the collar on the back of your neck which can be used for banner shaped patches.
I don't see too many on the front but usually they are placed on collars if they're small enough or you would have one where a breast pocket would be located,however there usually isn't more than one patch on the front because for some reason patches don't work that well with symmetry.

>tfw you will never own anything Junya that isn't bought on Grailed
;___;
>>10626319
you should buy off y!jp, cheaper and much wider selection
>>10624225
OP, are you
1. overthinking this
2. never go outside
3. don;t socialize with other ppl IRL
>>10624225
Other than a parka, what is a good readily available jacket for this winter?
I don't get why they're so popular, they look like shit.
>>10625323
leather jacket, padded jacket, i guess?
>>10624954
tfw spent 150 bucks on a parka right before this trend blew up
>>10626579
really depends on your country / weather
>>10626579
i just wear whatever hyper warm double layered northface coat i can get at the largest discount at the local store during the summer. the north coast is no place for fashion in the winter sadly.
Burlington coat factory has some nice peacoat types and some faux fur lined coats too for 80-100 bucks.
avoid leather, it doesn't do well exposed to moisture and doesn't keep out cold. avoid any materials that look like they would soak up and hold water.
>>10624225
Height of mainstream fashion right now. Whatever that means to you.
>>10625217
thank you senpai
avoid olive and you are ok.
Honestly if it's very cold where you live you dont really have much choice.
>>10627547
Fuck that. Olive is my colour and ain't no one gonna take that away from me. I even bought a black/olive hoodie to further aggravate the situation.
>>10627591
This fit is pretty bad to be honest family
>>10624482
>live in cultural and literal shithole so you can finally be fashionable
Yeah, nah
>>10627591
wew lad
>>10627388
I kinda feel you, some time in the summer I was looking through parkas and thinking of getting one then this happened
>>10627591
can someone break down what's wrong with this outfit so i can learn
>>10628479
the coat and hoodie are fine, but the jeans don't fit right and the shoes are shit
>>10628621
The hoodie would be fine if it didnt have green drawstrings though
>>10627591
lmao, you couldn't even do that right

I wanna get this in black but the green goes better with other shit I have
>>10626258
Small like 1" to 1.5" circular patches are done on shoulders, and a larger 3-4" patch would be a chest piece on a marine mil. uniform if that helps. You would only put on on each shoulder and one on the left breast. More than that is a bit gawky.
>>10624944
I think he meant never played out. Some people on /fa/ worry way too much about what's "in", blue jeans and parkas are items that will never, ever go "out" of style. They might not be the hottest thing at one point but they'll ALWAYS be a good option.

I don't get it, if parkas are played out, then what will keep you as warm as a down parka or similar? I don't want to wear 20 fucking layers just to stay as warm as I would with a good parka.
tfw i own the mcspicy jacket :^)

>>10629789
Ignore the autists and wear what's useful.
I kind of want a shearling though. I can't wait till I'm 40 to enter my slav-tier dadmode with the beer belly and close cropped hair. Leather jackets and shearlings, sherpa bomber jackets, goddamn nigga the future is bright.

>>10629825
Kek, if your shearling looks like slavtier ugly dads shit - its bad shearling, whats all, kido.
>>10629789
Puffer. Shearling. Aqtually if its not canada goose releated ultra mountaneerengwarm parka - anything.
parka's come in so many styles, how can they ever be 'out'?
