I only say Japanese because most people are familiar with them. But it seems all East Asians nowadays have this really nice soft hair that looks cool when long. My hair looks clumpy and thick like in those old Hong Kong movies. So I know it's not just the genes, it's mostly what I do.
But I'm a guy, and as desperate as I am to get that nice texture, I don't know what is "going too far". What do most males who care about their hair in Asian cities do? Do they commonly get it chemically treated? Or is it simply that their products are better for Asians because it's Asia?
Some guys do get it chemically treated. Hair is pretty cheap to get it done there. But I think most of them use a straightening iron or blow dry it straight.
By the way, are you Asian by any chance? Having Asian hair would probably help..

Hopefully, or then he's the biggest weeaboo ever.
Yes...I'm Asian. Otherwise I wouldn't mention Hong Kong movies and products that are better for Asians. I am American, however, and where I'm from Asians mostly spike their hair, but when it isn't it looks just as bad as mine. Which is why I bring up Asians from a different country.
what about this wavy look?
well actually if u want to get some kind of asian 'textured' hairstyle, try to go to asian salon and get ur hair thin and layered. It will help a lot.
If you don't like how curl your hair is, go buy a hair iron or go to salon for straightening perm.
And lastly to make your hair looks textured, apply some hair products such as wax and hairstyle.
There are so many tutorials on how to do these styling in youtube, try to watch some.
Just want to tell you that keeping this kind of hairstyle is tiring. It can't be done in a 5 minute after bath time. lol
aside from getting it thinned and layered, you can also get it razor edged which can give you a cool look. it's key to bring a photo.
going to an asian salon is key. if you want spiky hair, then its better if your hair is hard naturally.
also it sounds like you have hair similar to mine, it will be very afro-like until it grows 3-inches plus so while your growing it out just get it thinned every 2 months or so.
if your hair gets frizzy, you can try the smoothing serum from fructis. for styling i use surf hair wax from fructis... gatsby smells waaay too rubbery for me :p
youtube is a good resource
It seems to me these days that skirts are so short, shirts so low, thongs are popping out everywhere. Not just in the young girls too, it's everybody! I couldn't believe some of the underwear I found in my daughter's drawers, and the clothing in her closet. And when she goes to school I often think, "Is she allowed to wear that!?". Am I just an old fogey who doesn't know about fashion, or is this really in bad taste?
Stylize me, /fashion/.
The real problem is not just girls wearing more-revealing type clothing... it's the kind of girls doing it.
If a girl has a fit, slim body and can wear something ('slutty' or not) and make it LOOK GOOD, then it's not really that big of a deal because she has something to show off, at least.
It's those who are of average or larger build that try to wear skimpy clothes. It just looks awful. I can't tell you how often I walk around my campus and see the larger-shaped girls wearing shirts that... excuse me for this... basically show their gut sticking out. Girls need to understand what shape their body is in and whether certain types of (slutty) clothes are really suitable for them.
As for the slutty clothes themselves... well, I'm not a fan (I am a girl, btw) but since we can't really do anything about it, I just ignore it. I mean, there are girls who will walk around campus in their skimpy little bikinis on hot days to lay out, which really annoys me to no end, but whatever.
Still think so.
After reading what >>3 said, I'm tempted to go out and buy some hold ups myself, heh. I've been slowly trying to add more skirts to my wardrobe. I find them much more comfortable, and they give off a nice vibe towards others.
And yes, mystery is very sexy.
Never underestimate the power of a black turtleneck.
COSPLAYERS RULE XD
well said
getting back to the point, yes a HUGE chunk of teenage girls dress slutty as hell. it gets really annoying, cause some people may not be slutty, but they think that slutty=normal. that is a problem. but many do it because, as people have said, it makes them feel better when they might not feel good about themselves, and they want attention... this slutty clothing gets attention, but not a good kind... girls show off every scrap of skin they have, and wear tight, very tight clothes that make the breasts stick out... a lot....
should it be normal to see that EVERYWHERE we go?
I don't really think girls are to fault with what they wear. When you go to a clothing store of any kind, the majority of clothes avaliable are normally very showy with deep necks that could just about reach the navel.
Its just the fact that there aren't many options out there to turn to besides stuffily, out of date clothes from forty years ago to the new 'too revealing' clothes of today. Once one company started to make the revealing trend, just about every other one followed and its hard to find anything tastefully fashionable when there aren't many options.
all girls are sluts or want to be
no one gives a shit about how nice your personality is just how big your tits are
Global warming has an effect on this as well.
agreed, girls at my school say they dress the way they do because it's what they find at the stores now a days.
I was picking up my cousin at his elementary school and i saw a girl wearing fish net stockings and a mini skirt. everyone took it as normal
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.
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
I usually wear:
Denim: Guess, Express Men, Buffalo, INC
Shoes: Aldo, Skechers, Diesel
Shirts: Guess, American Rag, Vintage Red, INC
It all really depends on how I feel, and where I'm going at the time as well.
Denim: Levis, Ross had a good pair of carpenter shorts but the butt pockets started to rip at the seams.
Shoes: Whatever fits. I have wide feet so it can be hard to find shoes that fit me. Typically Nike and New Balance have sizes that fit me.
Shirts: Tommy Hillfiger and Nautica
Jeans - Carhartt (half the price of levi's, equal quality, easier to take the logo off than Levi's) Do have a pair of black levi's though.
Shirts - American Apparel plain color shirts. Expensive but comfortable and high quality. No logos or brand name in sight.
Outerwear - I have a carhartt jacket that's fleece lined for when it's really cold. Looks almost the same as the day I bought it 4 years ago. Also have a military bomber jacket for every day use. Got the idea from the Gibson novel Pattern Recognition.
Shoes - Either my hiking boots if I'm doing outdoor activity or it's snowing or a pair of black keds. I'm not sold on the keds, they're my first pair. They aren't super comfortable, but they're very comfortable and I get more compliments than with other shoes.
I try to keep it as simple as possible, I like what I wear.
I invariably wear plain shirts (either a T-shirt or a polo shirt) and long khaki cargo pants. I alternate between light khaki and brown khaki. The shirts vary in color, including red, blue, black and white. I try to wear plain shirts without big logos or text.
Is this a safe fashion bet, or am I unknowingly making a fool of myself? If it's relevant, I am male.
Wears jeans nerd
Cargo pants were so nineties.
If I was a guy, I would never leave the house in them.
There's nothing WRONG with it, but you probably won't stand out or anything.
Where I work the dress code calls for khaki pants, no style is explicitely stated, so I wear khaki cargo. I need the pockets to carry all the random shit I need for the day.
Outside of work I wear tshirts and cargo or denim shorts. I live in Florida and can't understand how people can wear pants outside on their own free will. Fucking hot here.
Plain shirts + cargo pants = never okay.
Store them up at the back of the cupboard, and wait till they come back in fashion.zzz
I won't say that cargo pants + t-shirts are foolish or anything, but jeans would be a nice change! :)
Plain t-shirts are fine too, but I personally go for the ones with graphics or texts ^^U
It sounds like you have an increadibly boring taste in clothes.
Cargo pants are awesome.
Okay, I want to smell nice. I have great hygiene, but that can't protect me from getting all sweaty at work. So, I've decided that I'm going to start wearing cologne (or at least try it). I'd like to avoid spending $70/bottle if possible, but anything below that for a decently-sized bottle is within my budget.
Is there anywhere online I can find samples of cologne? I know they come in fancy-pants magazines, but only a couple at a time. Or do I have to actually go to the store and stand there and sample fifteen thousand different ones? :/ Also, does anyone have any specific recommendations? I'll look into them.
Thanks~
you should just use axe body spray.
axe is so amazing. it's the best cologne i've ever smelled.
axe is what little boys swim, bathe, gargle, and use when they first discover what cologne is.
A nice way to impart a clean, fresh smell without smelling like a dead musk ox on the veldt might be to bathe with scented bath powders or salts, either a fresh citrus powder or bath pine salts, in combination with a mild deoderant or anti-perspirant.
Green, citrus and crisp smells are quite rare in mens' colognes. Most have heavy "mown grass" or "musk" tones to them, if Macy's advert mens' colognes samples are representative of the whole.
I have a feeling in a generation or two (or now) women will reflexively reject men that smell like Axe/Puma body spray, since it will be associated with desperation.
> bathe with scented bath powders or salts, either a fresh citrus powder or bath pine salts
I thought the point was to get ladies, not become one.
I'm a female but I like the scent of Bvlgari black. ;w; smells nice.
Anything by Givenchy is yum.
you -should- spend at least 70 on a bottle. you know it ends up being way, way cheaper than deodorant right? a tiny bottle of cologne will last you YEARS even with daily use.
Hi. I have curly hair and I normally dry it using a hair dryer before straightening it. Problem is, it puffs out. Alot. I'm fairly certain I'm doing something wrong, so can anyone give me a tip or two on how to dry it better?
Drying with cool air or hot air? Hot hair damages your hair. I'm not an expert with curly hair, having straight hair myself, but I know if my hair's too dry when I straighten it, it just fuzzes. Also, I heard if you have curly hair, you're just meant to squeeze out the water and pat your hair with a towel, as opposed to rubbing it.
smoke roll-ups instead
you'll look better
and its cheaper
preferably with the orange rizla
because they taste nicer, and look cooler
shut up already, 'k?
Unless you have a way to get the tobacco direct from the manufacturer, you're likely to get shitty stale tobacco all the time. Nobody buys the stuff so it just sits on the shelf for months.
You can roll them up in ten seconds, but I can pack, open, and light one from the cardboard container in half that time. Since I have a job I don't really mind paying the extra couple dimes per cigarette.
Are you one of those assholes who insists on using matches instead of lighters, too?
I love not having lung/throat/mouth cancer and yellow teeth/fingers/skin.
i love being healthy too but you cant critisize people for smoking
i dont smoke but i think cigarettes are cool if thats what you wanna do. im all about being time efficient. so if it's easier to buy a pack and use a lighter, why not?
even i have a zippo
I don't see how it's "cooler" one way or another... seems the same to me...
Actually no. Where I live everyone smokes rollies. So that shit is always fresh.
Sorry, but what is so fresh about have 400 carcinogens tearing up your insides?
smoking will always be cool
smoking is also a classy thing, the way you describe smoking is extremely uncool. and ppl who light up with a match are doing it the cheep way cos they have 2.
the only thing that disgusts me is the extremely unfair taxes on them
