At the beginning of the year i finally decided to stop warring crappy, hot topic, baggy pants and video-game tees. Well anyway i started shopping at urban outfitter, seeing as at the time it was the only store with clothes of my taste, long story short, can anybody think of a store with clothes of that style, because im kinda getting board with their selection
office type of suits and decent clothes are extreme but hot as hell.. have u tried this out yet?
casual/office stuff.
You mean like stuff at banana republic?
American Apparel
American Apparel, although Urban is much better quality.
Try Gap, Uniqlo, AA, Banana Republic, J. Crew.
H&M sometimes has some nice stuff. As much as AA is for douches, they have some nice shirts (the ones not full of their logo everywhere).
Fedoras. You've seen them on every college campus, atop the heads of every gangly pencil moustached fool that thinks they are stylish. What the hell is the deal?
Well...you do have to admit, they are pretty cool.
yes, I wear a fedora (or makeshift derby) every once in a while. How else can I tip my hat to someone?
>>1 is right, fuck fedoras. There are some people who can pull off the "fedora and trench coat" look and really do it well, but mostly in this day and age a fedora makes you look like an awkward nerd.
Most people can't pull it off, it's true.
But I have a guy friend who looks so good in a fedora that it makes me feel like I'm gonna faint... it's like, WOW.
I have a friend who looks damn good in a fedora (he's your typical skinny, well-dressed gayboy). I tried in on once, and I also thought I could pull it off. Probabaly because I was wearing clothes that went well with the look (white button-down shirt; black vest; black pinstriped pants).
I feel that it's topical to mention that I'm a girl here.
It's a matter of making the rest of your outfit work with the hat. If it looks like you put a bit of thought into it, you're golden.

seriously. dont just go 'lol crew cut T and 514s' and think you can pull one off.
It is a rare person who can pull off fedora without looking like an out of time and place retard.
My face shape is SQUARE and it's SO hard to find a hairstyle that suits me, seriously. I am sick of people telling me how big and SQUARE my face is. I need a new hairstyle, or I am seriously going to cry.
PLEASE HELP ME!
Other characteristics of my face that might help you help me:
-Really small asian eyes
Just do that emo brush over thing where your hair is practically covering one eye like a pirate's. It'll round out your face.

I know a guy with a square head that has that kind of emo hairstyle. He looks like an emo guy with a square head. So I guess it doesn't help at all, with the added handicap of looking emo.
>>1
You sound like my friend o_o.
Her hair is mid length, and she layers it so that she kind of has bangs to frame her face. She also has a side part fringe.
Honey, pick up an asian magazine for women, they'll have everything you need. Also, get an asian hairstylist. Make sure she's not an obasan (look for the obasan curls).
If you don't live near an asain bookstore, I'd say you're not quite asain enough...
but go online and search for asian hairstyles from the pros-- the Japanesies ^_~
I would try finding a hairstyle based on your face's shape.
Keira Knightly has a "classic" square face, so try looking for photos of her. She seems to pull it off well!
And if you want a more Asian hairstyle...

Look for girls with similar-shaped faces and/or features and a style you like. You'll surely find something! Good luck.
I'm a woman with a square jaw and I have a full fringe...works for me, but it depends on your features.
And relax about the shape of your face. It gives you a very strong sort of look, and I reckon it's far better than an overly-sharp pointed chin.

that is ew. grown women should not wear pigtails.
Either afro or pompadour.

Jumbo?
Simple thread. What are your favorite brands.
Denim - Levi's
Sneakers - Vans, Lakai, and I also love the Japanese brand Visvim, but I can't afford it.
Everything else I buy is according to style not brand, and I couldn't care less about the name on the tag if it fits my style.
H.Naoto
Sexpot Revenge
Bernings Sho
Takuya Angel
Tripp
Lip Service
many many more
Jeans - Dior, APC, April77
TShirts - American Apparel
Shoes - D&G
Denim - Levi's and Cheap Mondays
Sneakers - Converse, baby (Low tops)
Everything Else - My favorite colors are pink, green, and yellow, so I really don't care as long as it's a pretty bright color.
Funny story...I was invited to my friend's uncle's funeral, I had nothing black to wear...I had to borrow a dress from her...
Everyone in this thread stop spending your money on brands and buy some self-esteem instead.
>>14
dressing nice = self esteem for me.
kthx
>>15
dressing nice != buying brands
>>16
dressing nice = buying brands (Given that you think the brand you're buying looks nice, or that those are the brands most of your clothes come from)
>>17
Then you would be buying nice clothing from a brand.
The fact you think that some/most of the clothing from a brand you like looks nice doesn't make "buying brands" "dressing nice".
I see your point, but your logic is flawed if you want to use mathematical symbols to get your point through.
Gothic lolita aficionado detected
Denim: Levis, some of the in-house jeans that they sell at PacSun has actually held up for me for a good while surprisingly
Shoes: Chuck Taylors
Shirts: None in particular, but this "Carbon" shirt that I got from Rue21 that i'm wearing right now is pretty comfortable albeit a bit fragile
I also really like Kangol flat caps and am looking into a nice pair of Nikes to match them
The old thread was long dead, and didn't really offer the advice I was looking for....
How do I get rid of razor burn on my neck? I use a new razor ever time I shave, and no matter how many blades it has, I get razor burn without fail. The only exception is if I go without shaving for about a week and then shave, but due to the speed my hair grows, that looks like total shit.
I typically shave my neck in the shower and then hop out for a second to use shaving cream and a mirror for the rest of my face. I shave against hair because it goes smoother that way, except on the bottom of my neck where I have to shave both ways.
tl;dr: How do I get rid of razor burn?
Have you tried shaving with or across the grain? I recently tried with, and my bumps went away. It's not as smooth, but atleast there's no bumps.
If you have a very sensitive skin, you probably can't make them disappear completely. I know I can't.
The only solution I found, is shaving before going to bed. That way, hair is really short when I shave it in the morning and I can do just a light shaving to be smooth with the least burn. Also, I always shave with the hair, except in a region of my neck where it grows in many directions at a time and this sucks. Then, I rinse with cold water, and shave a second time against.
But still. Hopefully in winter I can wear a scarf.
I have really sensitive skin. The answer here is typically to use an electric razor.
The other solution is to wash the area in warm water and then do the shaving, then use cold water after.
By doing either I've been able to avoid it.
Another thing you can do is rub a bit of baby oil into your skin after you shave. It helps.
Go to a drugstore with an upscale cosmetic and skinscare section. They can help you.
Hey guys. I got a question. This is serious. I like to dress up like a girl sometimes, especially on Halloween. When I go I try my best to really pass. Most of the time I do a good job, but the facial hair problem! Shaving, no matter how well, doesn't produce a smooth enough result and what's more, it grows back really fast. I have heard horror stories about waxing male facial hair and it's hard enough to find a salon that will do it anyway. Does anyone know how well threading/sugaring works? I am not interested in permanent hair removal, i.e.: laser, electrolysis. Cross-dressing is just an occasional hobby for me. I am not looking for a permanent lifestyle change.
Threading works, but it takes a looooooong time and quite a bit of patience. Never tried sugaring.
Sugaring is more or less like waxing. It only works if your hair is longer, much like waxing. It would probably be best to call salons and ask them on the phone which is best for a male lip. A professional should be able to assist you.
y/n
n. it makes the hole in the sky a lot bigger. scene kids offer nothing of value to society.
stick with wax kthx. the world thanks u for it.
A little bit to help the hold after waxing doesn't hurt though.
Seriously, if you're a guy and have the kind of hair that needs hairspray, you're either too metro or too emo.
>A little bit to help the hold after waxing doesn't hurt though.
Yes this. I don't use it too often now though.
Okay, first off, I'm a guy, but all three genders are welcome to participate in this thread.
I've always had short hair, but I decided to let it grow and see what happened. Four months later, it reaches down to the back of my neck. The horrible phase where it's all over the place and you can't do anything with it (a phase that a long-haired friend warned me about) seems to be pretty much over. It can look kinda wild between shampoos (the only hair care product I'm using, BTW), but sometimes in a good way.
I'm learning that the way hair is disheveled makes a huge impact. Down onto my forehead: hot. Pointing up behind the ears: gay. No, I don't mean bad. I looked in the mirror that day and thought, "Dammit, I really look like I'm gay!" Man, I worked extra hard to fix that one. But that hasn't happened lately. All in all, I'm quite satisfied with this long hair experiment.
So, to the other long-haired people out there, what are your experiences? Use conditioner? Shampoo how often? Do you get your hair professionally trimmed or not cut it at all? Let's talk, Anonymous Stylists!
The fuzzy caveman is NOT good looking. Even if it "looks cool". Many friends of mine went for it, only to find out they're better off shaving.
One thing a beard/stubble really needs to work is for your follicles to be even across your face. For instance, at the moment my cheeks have yet to catch up with the density of stubble as my jawline and neck. So I shave every day because it looks neater. I like having stubble though, so if my cheeks do catch up, I'll probably start to do stubble, but keep it shaped.
Long hair will make you sweat more so be sure to take lots of showers
long hair is rad, i've grown mine out for four years and its longer now than the hair of most girls i know.
my advice: use good shampoo. i've heard that pantine is bad for your hair in the long run...i use Bed Head. i think its made for scene kids who do all kinds of mean things to their hair. i dont do anything to mine and that keeps is wonderful.
also, if youre anything like me, washing it before bed is essential...it just looks all poofy and weird when i dont sleep on it for a night.
kinda bumping up and old thread but i love hair >.>
yea I has long hair too. I have been growing it for about a year, it is just below my collar.
I use shampoo and usually conditioner just to make brushing easier.
my hair is light and floaty though so I barely notice it, and there is not much advice I can give because that is a natural feature of my hair. I shower before bed.
i used to have long hair; didn't really take care of it well though. just shampooed and conditionered (is that a word?) it every few days. many people told me to trim the tips, advice that i should've taken but just didn't, so i had crazy split ends which made my hair all frizzly (yeah, that sounded a bit gay, no homo). definitely trim the tips every few months. your girl friends can probably let you know when its about that time.
everyone loved my hair, my grandmother especially. i shave my head now and whenever i get a fresh shave shes reminds me, 'your hair was so beautiful'. lol. sometimes i fantasize about doing it again. the shitty middle phase is the worst though :/ good thing its over for you. pony tails are good, especially if you can play some latin rock. hehe.
FYI, PONY TAILS ON GUYS SHOULD BE BURNT OFF.
Alright, so look. I'm a fat guy. As in 5x shirt, 62 waist. I find it hard to find clothing for myself that's not a t-shirt or jeans, and I'm really trying hard to -not- wear so many blatantly casual, thrown-together things. Are there any recommendations for what I should look for or try out in terms of clothing that straddles the border between casual and formal that would look good on a man with a very wide waist? Because most men's fashion, from what I've seen, doesn't translate well when its like you've got tires round your body.
Any advice would be much appreciated.
Well the best advice is to lose some weight. If you're that big it's not healthy, irregardless of any fashion issues.
Having said that, probably the best advice would be to try to get some regular trousers rather than wearing jeans. I'm not sure, but I think that for larger people if you dont get flat-fronted trousers, get ones with pleats (that kinda fold thing) at the waist. I remember hearing that that was good for somebody with quite a large waist, because then it doesnt look quite so much like the fabric is being stretched by the persons size. I've not looked into this myself so you probably want to try on a fwe different pairs.
Also, try a pair of "proper" shoes e.g. not sneakers. They don't have to be ultra-formal (like what you'd wear with a suit) but some well looked after leather shoes make a good impression. I'm not sure whether to suggest trying to find button-up shirts to go with the trousers or stick to t shirts.
If you can't find clothes that fit perfectly the way you want, you could try getting ones that are almost how you want them and then taking them to a tailor to have them adjusted (e.g. sleeves might be too baggy while the shoulders actually fit perfectly etc etc)
big & tall.
me i shop at small & short.
well as a health consultant i would say that you wont feel any different until you lose the weight. i know its hard but if you find a good nutrition plan and you stick to it and with support you should be able to lose the weight.
but most clothes in the world arent geared towards overweight people. after a while all thats left are sweat pants. i would recommend doing custom made clothing if you can afford it or research a nutrition plan thats good for you and will get you the results you want.
Hey I have luck for my son at bigmen.com and J.C. Pennys online. He is a 4 x and I can always find him nice looking clothes. Hope this helps. Good luck. Peace and happiness.
Short-sleeved, buttoned shirts without shirttails--that is, shirts not designed to be tucked in--such as bowling-shirt styles, or guayabera styles, or a wide range of others, tend to look alright on big people. You will, of course, have to shop around to find really big ones. But they exist.
