/fa/ how do i dress /intellectualcore/?
there used to be a lot of threads on these a while back but they're gone

Start by realizing that you're not an intellectual and get over yourself

>>11000375
lol I love steve mqueen but that dude wasnt an intellectual
he wasnt dumb either. just adventurous and didnt give a flying fuck about anyhting
You said it yourself
Trousers
Derbies/chelseas
Turtlenecks/sweaters/dress shirts
Blazer/overcoat/shirt jacket
Suits as well
Keep it minimal with nothing too flashy
Look at brands like lemaire, jil sander, Prada, Jan Jan van essche, helmut lang etc. for inspo
>>11000458
Beckett was effay.
>>11000461
that jacket doesn't fit him at all, it looks terrible
If you try to dress like an "intellectual" and youre not even attending university in either philosophy, political science, law or similar studies you just probably kill yourself already. And even if you were studyimg them, suddenly changing your style to play pretend like youre suddenly smart is the most plen thing one can do
>>11000467
This is effectively how I dress and I study neuroscience at PhD, I still feel a little pretentious. Can hard sciences ever be fa?

OP all you need are a couple of well tailored trousers, a couple of sporty blazers that can match either trousers and some oxford\ brogue boots or shoes... You could also throw in some cardigans, nice sweaters and nice shirts. Always remember that when you dress this way it's best to stay away from shitty\ pop designs. You don't want to look like some highschooler who follows shitty trends. Check out Frank and oak, they have mediocre stuff. You could also check out GQ's site but try to steer clear from their urban articles(like the ones where they tell you how to wear timbs with a suit)
Suit salesman here - "Young fogey" is the name of the style, not "Intellectualcore"
Invest in some Magee corduroy trousers,
Barker or Loake shoes (possibly churchs if you can afford them)
a jacket and scarf by Bladen (or maybe a Barbour Beaufort)
a pullover by Peter Scott
a cap by Olney (or otherwise by Stetson - possibly bugatti)
a tweed overcoat is also a fine choice, matched with tortoiseshell glasses.
A peterson smoking pipe completes the look.
>>11000375
Look around outside, what colors do you seen green? Brown? Blue? White? Maybe some red flowers?. Theres your color pallette.
Materials should revolve around natural matericals: Wool, cotton, leather, etc.
Styles should be along the lines of fuction and aesthetic. So trousers shouldnt have a tapered sillouhette but a well fitted straight. Always button up shirts (White, blue, green) that are a bit loose but not baggy. If its cold wear sweaters, cardigans, sports coats, scarves, no swishy windbreakers or autistic leather coats. No jewlery or accesories, glasses if you need them.
But if you are a shit persom everything will look like shit. So go for the "spend more time studying than working out" look---slightly chubby and old.

Yeah dressing well and doing a hard science is /fa/.
As long as you arent studying in a field like marketing or communications, which are the least effay.
>>11001694
tee+jacket looks pretty bad.
all black 'floating talking head' looks pretty bad too.
how bout mock turtleneck,are they acceptable?
>>11001743
problem with mocks, they'll take away from your jawline, it's a weak look.
but at least they have some sort of collar, and won't fuck your jacket collar.
>>11001755
well it's not that i have problem with turtleneck
it's that things are warmer here,and turtleneck have poor ventilation so i'm considering mock turtlenecks as an alternative
>>11001691
psuedoscience isn't fa
>>11001758

why would you do that?
>>11000437
Because the first 2 are street styles, worn casually.
Your "intellectual" shit is dadcore + fedoracore that you are going to use for what? Not even for job interviews that's a practical look, it's totally useless in this day and age unless you're say... A Harvard Professor. You're not, so why? invest in something else.
Also idk why are you asking... All the shit you need its right at the mall. It's not a complex style to arrange... at all...
>>11001781
i think you get used to it
i'm blessed with good heat conductivity genetics since i can go triple layer in the blazing sun and barely sweat

Hah, I am a mathematics lecturer and I've thrifted a few blazers with those leather pads on the elbows.
It's a great way to differentiate yourself from the undergrads, and if they don't buy it, fail them :^)
What are the perfect glasses? Round, probably. Metal or plastic? Tortoise?
>>11002140
well im not as elitist at that
but i loathe upon all those street wear retards who thinks it's acceptable to go to class with an oversized apron,trash bag pants and ill conceived shoes
>>11001733
Fuck im a marketing major because I had to switch last minute but im more into creative side and art etc. Am I fucked?
>>11002167
>but i loathe upon all those street wear retards who thinks it's acceptable to go to class with an oversized apron,trash bag pants and ill conceived shoes
Me too, but I also loathe the kids who show up to undergrad dressed like ITT. For me, it's putting a thrifted coat on over what I'd normally wear, which consists of thrifted shirts, sweaters, and pants.
Pretty much all of my students dress tryhard in one way or another though, or their parents bought all their clothes 5 years ago.
effay fems in the classroom though, tone it down because it's distracting (not to your neighbors, who cares) but to me
>>11001709
Jeans?
>>11000636
You seem to know your stuff. Can you elaborate on whether Oxford or Derby? Also, where can I get classical shoes like that in a rather matte tone more appropriate to casual use?
>>11002180
well darn i used to try on those thrifted stuff when i was their age,but i think could justify that by being a broke college student who tried his best to emulate a refined look
but these kids nowadays are hemorrhaging 1 thousand dollaros a month to buy all those ridiculous clothing have no excuses

>>11002245
not school,college and universities anon
well even that is subjective to the course and subject you're taking
>>11002156
>>11002204
I thrift exclusively because I am not a "broke college student" but a person living on a grad student stipend.
I hear undergrads who make more money than me and have their parents pay all their rent bills and groceries complain about how poor they are they can only buy two racks of beer and an ounce of pot this month because they bought $200 kicks.
my tip is to go to boutiques and consignment shops as well as shitty thrift stores. it's true that at goodwill you have a chance at getting a $400 item for $3 but at a consignment shop you have way better chances that the item will fit, be in good condition, etc. and they are left unpicked by undergrads who don't know any better. Flip side is you pay $20-$40 instead of $3.
I spend less than a few hundred a year on clothes though so it's cost-beneficial still.
>>11002216
your face when the only student I ever failed wore a supreme shirt to the first day of class so I always kept an eye on him and caught him cheating during an exam. coulda turned a blind eye, but he wore supreme
>>11002266
well i'm on a steady job and i'm the one who teaching those students these days but i'm still fond of the time thrifting and finding rare shit such as dior shirt,twill jacket and coveted bally shoes and i still do it out of nostalgia from time to time
>>11002279
you a TT professor or what? how was your hiring process? are you the anon from above who's in history?
I'll be lucky to get an adjunct position without moving when I graduate here real soon
>>11002285
Yes i'm the anon whose teaching history
i got really luck because i just finished my degree with only part time experience working in a library and i sent my cv to my previous college
they accepted me though even with my average grades and minimal experience due to having excellent relationship with people there so my application was not really normal in a sense
Is P&Co /intellectualcore/ or?
That being said, any other clothing brands you know like P&Co?

I grew up in a rural state and have no idea of how dress clothing is supposed to fit. Where can I cop a good looking blazer and some wool trousers? How are they supposed to fit? Am I going to need to get them tailored?

>>11002859
just dress like this
>>11002859
Shop online. Most malls and stores in rural areas tend to have awful buyer's agents or whatever, resulting in awful shit filling the stores.
And yes, they will need to be tailored.
>>11002949
Where? The only dress clothes I own are from goodwill. Do blazers/sports coats always need to the same shade as pants?
one can only hope to be as fa as bertrand russell. imagine tweed suits all day everyday
>>11002941
you know he was a pro boxer right?
>>11002974
Don't have to be the same shade.
Shop around. Blazers are staple menswear. J.Crew might be a decent place to find something slim-ish and cheap, especially as an entry level thing that has flavors of prep. They also used to source some nice-ass fabric - not sure about nowadays.

The distinction between suit and blazer/pants is basically that blazer/pants don't match.
