I've recently gotten really into the musical genre of Synthwave. For those unfamiliar, it's essentially based off music of the 80's. My question is, how could I start to incorporate a cool 80's feel into my fits?
Here's a good example:

Dumping pics in the meantime.
watch back to the future and dress like them
make sure to spend 1000 dollars on nike air mags
>>11383360
This is pretty bad. The keyboardist has no ear for phrasing at all.
watch a bunch of old movies and pay attention to how they dressed
>>11383377
>>11383388
Thanks, yeah that definitely sounds like a good start.
>>11383383
To each their own. I like the way it sounds and the way it makes me feel.
What about this one?

Aviators
Rolled sleeve tee
Camp collar shirts
Hawaiian shirts
Varsity jacket
Windbreaker
Stone wash or washed black denim
Cropped viscose pants
Very short running shorts
Superstars
Hi tops
Burt Reynolds moustache
Slicked hair
Just some things to consider for a fit.

>i only like the freshest new memes when they're current and hot
how does it feel to have zero individual taste?
i can only imagine how much your closet is a mishmash of whatever is popular this season on fa, your mp3 library whatever the current mu meme is.
poseur, that's the word I'm looking for
>>11383466
What? Does a genre have to be brand new for me to enjoy it? I don't understand. Do you understand what music actually is?
>>11383488
>how does it feel to have zero individual taste?
irony
>>11383484
Love GUNSHIP! Especially that song / animation. W2c that jacket?
>>11383511
>W2c that jacket?
many thread shave tried to answer this all have failed its impossible
>>11383360
That's funny OP, I have as well within the past few weeks. I really really like the a e s t h e t i c of it
As some anon said;
Wayfarers
old digital casio watches
Varsity jackets
Faux/leather jackets
Chucks/ old nikes
light denim jeans
plain black/red tees
DMC Delorean/Lamborgini Countach/Trans AM firebird
etc
still trying to cop the Delorean
>>11383531
Hah, I'm honestly partially obsessed. I've made 3 songs of my own in the past couple days. Funny you should say that, I've been looking at the Countach nonstop, I'd settle for a Delorean though.
Any suggestions on where to look for decent varsity jackets?
>>11383540
no idea family, I haven't gotten to that stage yet, still trying to track down an god old casio and size up some wayfarers that fit my head. If you graduated yr 12 you probably have a leavers jacket that is one haha.
Post the songs btw.
thats just 80s pop
>>11383553
Yeah I graduated year 12, never got a varsity jacket though. I suppose I can scour eBay, I know casios are like $5 on Amazon.
I was meaning to release them all as an album, but I'll share this one for now. Pls remember I never claimed I was good senpai:

lots of vibrant windbreakers and high jeans
srs
>>11383519
>>11383484
I've only ever seen bootlegs for sale
>>11383918
literally nothing 80s about this
>>11383924
guess I mixed up 80's and 90's
>>11383929
besides maybe the pullover there is also nothing 90s about this
>>11383929
not even 90s
>>11383939
that's an 80's RX7 driven by the original Midnight Club
If OPs trying to go for a synthwave sort of style, that fits the bill
>>11383954
i was referring to the outfit
>>11383505
>doesn't refute
>one word reply
pathetic
80's fashion aesthetic has a lot possibilities when it comes fo fashion. There are certain looks that work and look great.
>>11383392
here is a good one to start with
>>11383360
Wow late to the game pleb. I've been spamming this on here for a while now. No need for your shitty description, it doesn't even fully encapsulate the genre, you pleb.
>>11384174
God you sound pretentious.

What you could do, is to add all kinds of hardware onto your outfit. Put your smartphone on a powerglove or something. Nowadays everything you need is compiled into 1 thing: your phone.

Not sticking to GOAT synth and darkwave groups like The Buggles, Gary Numan, Siekiera was your first mistake, anon

Weren't the eighties full of red scare?

I share this interest. i like to add clothing with vaporwave/80's decals for popping contrast and cool colours.
pic related is what I'd consider to be a design as a result of the 80s
>>11384164
this is amazing.
>>11384174
*thumbs up*
I have another piece after this.
Also don't forget (Italo) Disco

I think that bright colors are important to create a 80's feel.
Where does Old School Hip Hop come into play?

>>11383388
>>11383769
are such a great way to incorporate that style.
I have an 80s party next year, so I can brainstorm for a long time what type of clothing I'd like to wear.
Pro: I've already got a navy corduroy jacket with shoulder padding
what should I add?
I like the miami vice idea of adding a >>11384164 tshirt...
>>11384510
maybe black/purple/yellow pants?
>>11384518
>yellow

Here's a rec for you OP:
https://soundcloud.com/fm84/running-in-the-night-feat-ollie-wride-album
The rest of the album's just instrumental, but for the tracks with vocals the guy fished out some old 80's vocalist to come back and relive those neon nights.
First track

>>11384563

>>11384174
>>11384409
This desu senpai. No need to be a pretentious fuck, only makes you look stupid.
>>11384530
It is most certainly not effay to hate people for having different tastes, senpai.
>>11385030
Funny, I love that album, especially that song! I play it almost every day on my drive to work, and my background is based on that picture.
>>11383757
i used to fucking love working at AA
>>11386670
huck?
>>11383531
>DMC Delorean/Lamborgini Countach/Trans AM firebird
Will a fiero or Mr 2 suffice? I can't afford any of those.
Does anyone know where to find vintage magazines, catalogs and such for inspo?
