We need to start having P O O R F A G generals
Talk about stuff we can buy on budgets and shit
Whats the general attitudes to mall stuff here??
I don't go near zumeiz or pascun
I know H&M and Zara is shit
I know uniqlo is popular around here
What about GAP and Macy's??
>>11447924
thrift
levi
nike and adidas
all a nigga need
Just buy basic clothing that fits well. Start going to thrift stores then learn how to alter clothing yourself, it's not that hard.

this only works because shia is attractive and there's an underlying understanding that he's an A-list celebrity and worth millions of dollars. If a random robot browsing this board dresses like that, he's going to end up on a child molestation watch list.
>>11447924
my advice would be to stick to brands that are specifically known for doing one thing well.
gap, macys, etc. are relics of a model that's quickly becoming outmoded. expensive, poorly made, and occupies the uncanny value between too "hip" to be timeless but too out of touch to be actually on-trend.
dickies for pants. trust me, the cut, build quality, and price point is better than any other pair of pants you're going to get under 40 dollars.
hanes/gildan for t-shirts and hoodies
shoes: stan smiths, converse, docs
go thrifting every month
thrifting is where it's at i got a great flannel for four fucking dollars it's may in jersey i'm the only hoe lookin forwards
>>11448079
This is something that I feel like people forget about when posting more adventurous fits, most people that don't see it in the context of fashion won't understand. You can shit on normies or whatever but the fact is that most people are normies and don't appreciate the big art or whatever.
>>11448074
Are these blazers? I can never find these in that color with the tan tounge, w2c
Thrifting is shit
All I find is old ass H&M and mall trash that's already worn out
>>11448141
Go to thrift stores in rich neighborhoods/suburbs if there any by you. Those people can afford to buy/give away expensive clothes and there's not a lot of demand because the people that live there don't want to buy used clothes
>>11448141
depends on where you live
>>11448105
if you look cool you look cool. I get compliments 24/7 and I wear some pretty far out shit. I tend to dress in more colors and not so much gothy rick owens type stuff so its a little bit more approachable.
>>11448165
I think that most people can appreciate high fashion stuff. What I meant was more like the dorky style. I just think that most people don't get it, and would think you're dressing un ironically. Adventurous probably wasn't the right term, but I said that because it is kind of risky, even if the clothes aren't fancy or anything.
>>11448039
How do you buy from Rakuten JP? Found my grail there for 400 less than on Grailed.
>>11448185
proxy service probably the cheapest
>>11448141
I live in a pretty affluent suburb and only find mall trash because that's what people here wear

May as well wear any off brand as Nike. Those shoes are garbage.
It's worth making a day of going on a trip out of town to thrift stores near wealthier neighborhoods.
There's also the internet though that can be a real headache sometimes when it comes to things not fitting as you hoped upon arrival or dishonest sellers.

Yeah man, there is a point where you are famous/beautiful enough you can wear whatever the fuck you want.
>>11448878

SP here
>>11448879
Honestly, I see a famous person dressed like a retard and just think less of them as an icon. It's pretty pathetic when normies start thinking shit like that is super stylish just because a famous person doesn't know how to dress themselves without consulting a stylist but had to leave the house because they have normie shit to do, too.

Personally my basics are pretty much all Uniqlo. Since I'm poor and dress basic must of the time I end up dressing also mostly in Uniqlo. Honestly I'm fine with that, even if I had more money, much more I'd still go to Uniqlo for most of my basics, and then spend more on more expensive pieces.
Try the surplus store too.

>>11447924
don't buy any of that shit, foo'!
the only way for a poorfag to dress like an individual is thrifting & other kinds of second hand shopping. milsurp is also very suitable for this purpose.
>>11449694
the only time a shoe's SUPPOSED to be worn with joggers nobody does it
>>11448074
i need these
Asos isn't bad if you know what you're looking for
>>11447929
I thrifting is shit, even in wealthy neighborhoods everybody only sells shitty Jordans and diamond supply because nobody has taste
I just stick to basic ass uniqlo fits
I wish I could afford cdg,y-3,acne,apc, and alladat but I'm broke
>>11451340
you must be missing stuff at the thrift store lmao. essentially an infinite supply of cool outerwear and sweaters. sometimes a few cool t shirts. pants are really hit or miss tho and usually too much work to look through unless you go to "trendy thrift stores" like plato's closet(don't recommend but they sometimes have good pants).
thrift + tailor/diy = next level cheap fits
>>11451378
All we have is goodwill here there's an actual thrift shop with multiple sellers but other that some jewlery nothing there is good other than some retro video games and books

y3 isn't even that expensive, learn to save. Why do you even want acne and apc? those brands are nothing special, you can get the same look iwth cheap clothes.
poorfag time yess
i am poorfag here are my guidelines for myself:
- thrift is life, thrift often but with more scrutiny than regular shopping
- don't thrift pants
- spend normie money on normie pants (levis senpai)
- spend normie money on plain tees in packs from workwear stores, they will outlast your 6 dollar h&m tees
- never spend normie money on jackets, thrifted jackets are a) 100% cheaper for quality product b) generally you can find cool as fuck jackets thrifted
- keep your wardrobe hella small. as a poorfag, you will be tempted to buy more cheap shit b/c none of it will fully satisfy your needs + desires like maybe some more expensive cops will. but you'll end up with a bunch of useless shit and feel depressed. so keep it small and simple.
- thrift shoes, but do so w extreme caution, a lot of thrift shoes "look cool" in a thrifty way but actually ur wearing trash. think: do these work unironically?? if no then drop em.
- learn to sew / repair your shit. buy sewing needles and strong thread.
- separate your self worth from self image cause guess what you will always be poorfag to someone
- learn to love the miracle of your life
>>11448141
It's more expensive but try a Buffalo exchange
>>11449694
I like how you can always tell someone's a massive fuccboi if he wears adidas ninja shoes.

>>11451812
You sound beautiful. But, also far away.
>>11451812

>>11447929

you dont really need nike or adidas specifically just any cheap shoe brand
>>11448093
brilliant advice, i adhere to most of this
go on Depop. everything is rly cheap on there
>>11451927
THIS
Y'all think we should start doing /poor/ generals now? like every once in a while?
>>11453626
why not have a poorfag general? we have a fuccboi general, hair general, fragrance general, etc.
i see no reason not to just always have one going, we're in a demographic where it's important to look good but we don't have very much money.
>>11453694
Seconding this. If Rick fags and mentally ill people get one, we get one too
Where are you niggas getting jeans from?
>>11453772
Buy em at thrift stores or on sale. wrangler/levis usually.
h&m pants arent that bad. plus theyre like always half off near me so even if they only last a year they were $20.
What are some nice Oxford shoes that won't break the bank? Would not like to spend more than $100.
because being /fa/ isnt easy work
why should i go to work everyday at 1am just to look good while you poorfags spend money at macys looking like shiet calling it "fashion"
lifestyle is more important than clothes thats what creates fashion so being poor will make you look poor
>>11447924
All of the stores you listed have good purposes
Uniqlo for chinos and oxfords
Gap for jeans and their wild clearance sales
Macy's for suit separates and sales on Levi's
Bonus store: Foot Locker/Journeys for sneakers and athletic shoes.
>>11447924
INVEST IN A SEWING MACHINE YOU FAGS
presto, just about any pants fit you like a dream

would emphasize:
- workwear brands from farmer stores + sewing machine = god-tier cheap, durable, /fa/ pieces
- SEARS
- Fleet Farm
- etc
- focus on items that will last + look better with wear
>>11453626
That's what I wanted when I started this thread
>>11453844
But how do I sew
>>11453874
>sears
please
>>11453694
Yup /poor/ general needs to be a thing
I agree that /poor/ general should be a thing
my current system, and like idk if it's actually gonna work or not, is that I'm allowing myself to cop one grail-ish thing a month. It's not a firm budget but my pain point is 200 bucks, give or take. So if I spend 240 one month I can only spend 160 the next.
I make ~750 a month after tax, so this isn't like ideal financially but it's also the last year I'm going to be living with my parents so I figure it's okay for me to spend beyond my means a little bit since I don't have to worry about rent or bills or anything. It'll be nice to have a wardrobe full of nice stuff when I do move out and have to pinch pennies.
I'm putting most of my money outside of that into a savings account too. Idk, I feel like this system could work?
>>11451927
Copy and pastbin this shit for a /poorfag/ sticky
Quality tutorials for sewing please?
the only thing ive done is sew my crotch rip that was perfectly on the seam...and not even a good job
>>11454525
If you're spending 30% of your income on clothes you seriously need to straighten out your priorities
>>11454585
when you put it that way yeah. idk though, what else am i spending money on right now?
>>11454585
I spend 80% of my income on clothes.
makes you think
>>11451927
perfect post, love ya anon
>>11453626
PLS YES
>>11451927

Also: thrift fashionable shit that doesn't fit you and resell it on Grailed to make extra money.
>>11454737
can confirm
I thrift regularly and I got a y-3 polo and a bape shirt once in medium(i fit a large) and made an easy 100 bucks off them. Rich people donate clothes too.
Are ASOS pants any good??

Grailed basic is awesome for dope cheap shit.
At first i thought that the basic category was just shitty mallcore stuff that no one wanted
but
it actually has a ton of dope vintage shit.
only problem is you gotta sift trough the grabage to find the gems
>>11453824
dad
>>11454525
think it'll work, it wont, or might..
save 50% of everything you are able, it's the only way. you can spend THAT when you're pinching the other half. extravagant buys, and you'll find out what you actually like once your wardrobe dwindles to three perfect pants and socks, and five to seven perfect shirts and underwear.

How good are uniqlo T shirts
>>11459328
Great and they look good too
Zara has hands down the best looking stuff. High fashion people mix it into their wardrobe. Quality sucks, butwhat you shouls do is check multiple products for problems and youre good.
Mix that with expensive shoes(sneakerboy sale 70 percent off). And check department store and online sales.
I cant wear uniqlo, fits and looks like shit.

too long and wide at the bottom. top looks good

So hem the bottom? Probably the sleeves too. Should I just keep it and fuck around with it, or try to resell it? It still has the tags attached and everything.

I really dont why there hasn't ben a /poorfag/ general in /fa/ since day one. Figuring out nice fits while keeping it frugal is worth more than having Rick Owens general.

That just goes to show how bad Burlington is, everything is bootleg versions of other brands, the only stuff they have is Hurley, Volcom, DC, and other Kohl's tier skate brands. They don't even have vans or Chuck's to get
>>11459682
they are cheap fashion but they aren't fast fashion.
the only trend they hopped on was joggers.
fast fashion thrives on stealing designs from popular and expensive designers then making it cheap.
uniqlo does not do that (though it doesn't absolve them from the other downfalls of cheap fashion, mainly cheap labour and working conditions)
>>11455679
if you want to boost your self esteem, you shouldn't buy expensive stuff.
think about it, if you can be /fa/ with cheap clothes, you can laugh at hypebeasts all day. I can't help you with it much, but if you are NEET without any neetbux then you definitely have to get a job. when you have a stream of income, you can gradually upgrade your clothes and/or start saving. then when you see a piece you really want on Grailed for cheap you can indulge a little bit.
