Another fashion emergency thread :-)

[DogFashionDisco]

I know there's another fashion thread, but I'd like some tips for me personally.


I currently live in Seattle, Washington where everyone dresses either like a bum, emo, or a prep. However I'm going to be moving to Georgia before the school season starts. I've decided to change my look after getting sick of looking like a fag with my emo/skater style. I'm gonna go with wearing blazers, long sleeve dress shirts, t-shirts, and fitted jeans (not baggy or loose). However, I'm not clear on where I can buy these clothes for a fairly reasonable price (budget of about $800) and high quality (Diesel, Guess, DKNY, etc?). I usually shop at a skateboard/skater style store called Zumiez where I'd get tight jeans and t-shirts of the Volcom and Hurley brand (btw, those brands are getting really popular). Also, I've heard that people in the ATL dress all ghettoish or redneckish (at least in highschool), and I feel like I'd be going overboard with the blazers, especially since I'm only a sophomore and I've never actually seen anyone my age wear a blazer to school. Maybe I've just got my head in my ass and I've seen to many bums and emo kids to realize that blazers are widely worn? I wanna be unique but I don't wanna feel like a fag. Again.


And if you'd like to share, how do you guys dress to school?

www.GQ.com ... go to the forums... but beware of the *******s on that forum. They don't seem to understand that highschool kids cannot afford Armani/Gucci/D&G/Prada/etc.

but what I think is... shop at a 'Urban Outfitters' for higher price/quality compared to the so-called "cheap" 'Abercrombie & Fitch' (as the GQ *******s say). Urban Outfitters isn't it's own brand... but if you check out their site (http://www.urbanoutfitters.com/), they sell brands like True Religion, Deisel, Locoste, etc. They have nice vintage Tees, Blazers, Denim... alot of them cost $50-$300 (Denim Jeans)

Edit//

I didn't mean $50 Tees. but there are some though.

Anyways... I wear Abercrombie... but I hate it... its so low-end to the world, but high-end for people my age.

Or go to Banana Republic. That's a good brand. It has nice white blazers that are fitted already (hourglass shape)

Btw for people who don't know. Abercrombie and Hollister ARE NOT PREPPY... its vintage

-------

And i know what you mean by the emo fashion.. i was big in it... i used to dress with abercrombie.. then it went old.. so i started wearing bum-emo clothes... got old... so im back wearing abercrombie... and its getting old... (even though i just applied for a job).

Marshalls, Filene's Basement, etc. Who cares what other kids in your school dress like. Make a statement, hit it with some chicks and before you know it kids will be copying off your fashion. It's a common misconception for young people to stereotype fashion. Everyone isn't "dressed like a bum/emo/prep". I don't care where you live, it's a free country and theres plenty of diversity. Be an innovator.

If you are still in Seattle, go to a second hand/ vintage store called "Red Light" in Capitol Hill, I have gotten some great stuff there.
BTW, A&F and Hollister and stuff is PREPPY (fake vintage= preppy)

 

[Michele l'Arcangelo]

no. its not true preppy. banana, jcrew, gap, express... preppy.

A&F, hollister... preps wear them... but they can't afford true preppy clothes.

How about wearing what you like and now being concerned with what other people in the area are wearing or not wearing. Buy dress shirts at jcpenny, they look good and theyre cheap. Go to foleys or dillards, they also have nice sh*t.

Seriously, how the **** does it matter if its 'real' preppy or not. Just wear anything that looks good on you and has decent quality. I shop at anything from diesel, lacoste to abercrombie fitch & american eagle as long as it looks good on me. Keep some money for a pair of good shoes (aldos / higher end puma's). Good quality shoes are a must.

You can get nice dress shirts during those huge sales at Macy's. They are also like only $20-40.

yeah b.tch, i can dress nice... boo-f.ckin-hoo. some nig asks how to dress, i give him tips. some nig is wrong... i tell him whats right. i don't give a god d.mn if its a 'girly' thing to dress nicely.

what are you? are you a poor fat bum who wears tight sweatpants and a huge t-shirt with wrestlers on it? maybe a bit of mustard on it from 2 weeks ago too...? because you can't afford to change into decent clothes?

there's no f.cking way im metro either. i dress nice, but i don't walk like a chick or a gay-boy. i'm not in touch with my 'feminine' side either... because i don't have one.

anything else? i'd gladly show you how much of a dumbass you are.

okay mr. badass. give the thread starter some info now on how to dress with quality stuff, since im sure you know how to dress like a "man". if not, don't bother coming back.

I shop at express mostly for dress shirts, polos, and t-shirts. They often seem to have nice sales, which is always a good thing. For jeans, I buy anything from Guess, to Calvin Klein. Just depends on what you like.
