You are currently reading a thread in /fa/ - Fashion
It's happening, /fa/. Designers have been experimenting, and now it is filtering to the streets (mostly among women at the moment) and fashion magazines.
While I do not think skinny jeans will leave the spotlight, I think another silhouette will enter the mainstream as well: Loose, tapered (often cropped or rolled) pants. The taper/hem is key - this will distinguish this trend from the shoe-drowning JNCOs of the 90s and bell-bottom revival of the early 2000s.
As I said, slim styles will never go out of style. I just think this is the direction we will be heading. Screencap this. Also, post loose, tapered inspo (male or female).
>>11268007
Shuitsang you ugly gook
this shit has been in style for years, /fa/'s just full of trend-eating laggards
>>11268012
Among whom? Where do you see it?
I live in a major city, and I have only see it in significance within the past year.
>>11268019
Chicago art kids for at least a decade.
Literally how long has avant/alt been hated/jerked off over on fashion forums? By now this ~trend~ has hit Target im sure. I like to experiment with textiles and shapes, so im into the aesthetic, but it isnt new by a longshot.
>>11268058
Oh, it's not new among designer and elite fashion circles.
I am only judging based on what I see on the streets (and I live in a major city). "Fashion-forward men," (note the quotes, as I am talking about a majority here, not the avant-garde) and the majority of women are still wearing skinny pants. I only see these loose cuts on a small fringe of the population.
/fa/ caught on? looks like its back to wearing skinnies
I like the slim legs and baggy upper body look so Imma stick with my black skinnies.

w2c pants like these?
>>11268019
I've seen it for a few years in LA.
>>11268142
I don't know the first, but the other two are Yohji and Asos.
Search things like "cropped linen trousers" or just "linen trousers." You'll get a variety - some will be very loose and pajama-like, while others might have a taper.
>>11268142
I like AMI.
http://amiparis.fr/en/shop-online/new-collection-ss16/clothing/trousers.html
And MUJI has some nice linen pants.
is my fit loosewave enough?
also y'all can cop yohji or cdgh+ from yahoo jp or rakuten for around $150 or so minus shipping. just dig around and look for a good proxy

Can you describe this in more detail? it's intimidating. how do you navigate it, and tell apart reputable sellers? do they normally ship to the states or is a proxy necessary? where to find a reliable one?

In Australia this hasnt caught on, but have a peek at streetsnaps elsewhere it has been gaining momentum for years. The japs in particular have done excellent things with this, some even having exagerated oversized fits while still being tasteful. Think Yohji hakama pants and the like
>>11268669
I found suto was more expensive than FJ, while FJ gives me the freedom to change bid limits without going through e-mails. The discount from the higher ranks is also nice, as is the occasional 5% off all purchases (still high tho cz bank fees and all that shit)

Really digging the flecked fabrics. Glad to see they're making a comeback in natural fabrics; the last time they were in style was the 80s but usually in a shitty polyester blend.
I have a brooks brother traditional cut white ocbd and im afraid its too loose. It fits right otherwise. Not skelly. Should i have it tailored? All my other shit fits p loose but this seems excessive. Also no cam.
>>11270874
just wear it tucked in instead

Wat do. Will they ever restock?
What kind of shoes goes with loose fits?
>>11271033
Did I sound like I was claiming to have "discovered" anything? I'm only noting a trend. Of course it's been done in the past.
>>11271229
Low top shoes in solid colors I'd guess. It looks like beating them up is also a requirement
>>11271229
It depends on what you're wearing. Literally anything can be loose. Just think about it from a design aspect.
>>11271229
tho a larger toe box tends to look good imo.
>>11271229
guidi-type derbies with toeboxes that point up is a good starting point
>>11270718
wtc these pants they are really cool
>>11271256
chunkier all around tends to work well, actually
>>11270718
>>11271304
>>11271310
just perfect
btw how did i do.?
>>11268242
Not a fan of the shoes but I think that's just a personal taste thing. Bigger issue imo is that the shirt is too crumpled. I think you have to be very careful about keeping your stuff looking fresh with loosecore or it just starts to look sloppy.
>>11270717
i think visvim sometimes goes too deep
>>11271374
I personally would try a different color for the pants, untuck the shirt, and either try a closed toe shoe or a different type of sandal at least

Damn got my ass I guess?
From a WAYWT thread, I like these pants a lot
>>11271427
i kept the shirt crumpled and unkempt as i wanted to give that relaxed/non-chalant vibe you get from having looser fits. ironing it seems stuck up and against the philosophy of wearing looser clothes

lol
this website is so behind
>>11272208
Your fit is justification enough for me talking shit... Do I seriously need proof to my claims that you posted a garbage fit? I don't think I do, and that's validation enough for me not to give you any advice, also why would I ever help such an angry twerp as yourself? Need some vagisil badly because you're an irritated little pussy
>>11272264
Which other websites are further ahead, then?
We had a thread earlier saying that forums are dead. And don't mention Reddit - they are even further behind than /fa/.
>>11272268
the problem is that i want to get into specifics as to why it is garbage. i'm fine with you calling it garbage so long as to tell me why. i cannot improve ny fits if you do not tell me why as to my eyes it looks ok. we've been arguing for a couple of posts now thus you clearly have time on your hands to give a couple of sentences as to why
>>11268007
I fucking hate skinny jeans.

HOW DO I CUFF WOOL PANTS so that they dont come undone
PLEASE RESPOND
>>11270648
can you name some? any around pilsen/bp?
>>11272353
I am also curious. I imagine you would iron them after cuffing, or maybe pin them if you werent invested in sewing them
>>11271317
w2c a shirt like this?

w2c pants?
>>11272183
yohji yamamoto ss15. picked it up on sale when I was in Tokyo.
>>11272377
Call me when jackets not made for manlets come back in style
>>11272374
That wouldn't damage them though, right? Just a crease that would come out in the wash? I had them cropped already but would like to go shorter without fully locking that in as my only option.
>>11268019
Seen it alot in Stockholm aswell
>>11272628
Ironing them may depending on the type of wool. Pinning wouldnt i dont think. I have been pinrolling them, but it makes them look like joggers which isnt what im going for.
How do i continue this style without looking like a rich CA mom whose favorite designers are rick and julius or her full yohji husband? More colors?
>>11273196
You should just dress completely in julius or yohji, just accept it
>>11273247
Those people all look the same though. I dont want to wear the gn uniform, i just like how this looks and wanted suggestions. Ill go cry elsewhere.
>>11273265
This shit aint goober ninja m8
Just stick to Yohji, CDGH+, and Issey and you're good
>>11268007
I like how insightful this post is trying to sound. This has been a "trend" for quite a while now, in my experience it's about 50/50 in Toronto between fitted stuff and loose stuff when only including people who actually dress well.
>>11273300
I live in Toronto too right downtown, it is easily the least /fa city its size in all the west
>>11273265
You could get a decent amount of variation with Julius and Yohji though. At the very least you could deviate from goofninja.
>>11272515
Dude said h&m but I don't see them
>>11272377
i miss dada
>>11273387
definitely one of his worst fits. Also illustrates a big issue with loose wave - you need a jacket or really loose, boxy shirt or your hips look ridiculous. I think part of that in this pic is that he's wearing pants that are too large, but most Yohji/cdgh pants just have a ton of fabric at the top, so they make your hips look huge. Pretty much requires a straight fitting jacket to cover up the curves created by the pants. Look at >>11270705 and >>11272377 and imagine them without the jackets, wouldn't look great.
>>11272769

Looks like a cross between a chef's smock and those traditional Japanese pants but with rolled trouser cuffs. Looks try-hard, desu. The raw sash... Look mah, greybelt in karate! And then there's the little badge with tool charms to say 'I only look effeminate'. Honestly, it's one design trying to be too many things.

Those are a nice looking loose fit, unlike all the wrinkled hobo pants people are posting.

The flare and taper looks godawful, the straight fits that are loser look much better but I assume it'll be the flare and taper that every hops on
>>11276297
Flare and taper feels fresher, though. Straight fits have already been done within the past 20 years, yet we'd have to go back further (if at all) to see stuff remotely resembling flare and taper.
I don't know - I like it better. It's more interesting to me, and seems more balanced with respect to footwear.
>>11274093
nice Ann D. shoes
>>11276297
I like flare and taper, we're not ready for 100% loose but this trend is going to open the doors for that.
>>11271374
1st of all you need a better camera
it looks cheap and boring because of the champion sweat pants, and drug store flip flops
It just looks like you shop at walmart and dont care anymore

Yohji has been doing this for ages, do you guys just gobble up trends instead of doing research and discovering styles yourself?
>>11276361
I've never liked flare and taper on guyssince it just looks like one of those 'squatbros' trying to wear skinnies, but on women is looks absolutely amazing
>>11276297
flares are god tier
youre just not next level enough to pull them off
>>11276507
Flare and taper you dumbfuck
>>11276512
flare refers to the bottom of the pants 'flaring' out more than the knee/thigh and taper is the direct opposite
you cant have a flare and taper
your wording isnt even clear in the first place
>>11276518
You have the thighs flare out and have it taper knee down. Did you just ignore pretty much every picture in here?
>>11275539
what the fuck are you talking about?
>>11276552
the term flare in pants has always reffered to the bottom of the pants
i get what youre trying to say but flare is not the appropriate word to use
>>11276567
Because that's where clothes have traditionally flared. Yohji etc have it flare out at the thighs and taper down from the knees but it's still flaring out at the thighs. Are you retarded?
>>11276581
>Because that's where clothes have traditionally flared.
thats exactly why its stupid to use it in this context, because of it is so often used to describe pants that widen towards the end, it carries the assumption that you are generally reffering to pants of that style
even the fucking dictionary says it especially refers to a garment that widens towards the end of the hem
>>11276208
Just hunt around for the terms "carrot fit" or "pleated pants". Generally should give a similar silhouette
>>11276597
Meanings change. The flare simply isn't at the hem now. Stop being so autistic please, thanks. Flare and taper
>>11268019
London is on this
>>11275067
borderline, looks sick af imo and feels v comfy, downside is piling (especially w/ white shirt)
>>11276615
yea but the phrase is extremely confusing when you say"flare" this is what you are going to make people think 100% of the time. Yohji pants Arent really "flaring" they are just baggy and tapered heavily. Now yohji does have some pants that are flared at the top(they look like the ww2 german officer pants but I highly doubt you think those are going to catch on because they wont). Flaring usually looks more dramatic(flared disco pants and german officer pants) while the yoji pants are more like a continuous and smooth transition between baggy at the top and slimer at the ankles
>>11271142
Check in store my boy
some western style loosewave for those not able to pull off the japanese style

>>11279179
just look at the lemaire runways/lookbooks on vogue
>>11268242
the pants could look really good if youd make a somewhat lose rubber band inside around the cuff so that it gets a little tighter form at the ends like this pants

this has been here since the 80s m8. rei, yohji, and issey all did looser fits then compared to the hypersexualized stuff of mugler and co.
>>11283127
slim fit != loosewave. loosewave is cut very differently. usually the pants have a wide seating area which slowly goes wider and wider until the mid-thigh then tapers down to the leg
>>11283220
If you're going to trace it back in that way then you can say it's been here since the 15th century.
Having been around =/= coming back into prevalence. Also kek >muh 80s japanese juxtaposition to le mugler that everyone who has read anything about yohji and rei likes to spout, completely negating the rest of what was going on in the 80s
