Fr I may have a slightly weird looking body but not that bad yet no matter what I wear I look like a giant doofus. I guess it doesn’t help that I pretty much exclusively get clothes from thrift stores but I am not about to drop $50 on a fuckin shirt.
I have to wear business casual for work and I think I look alright with it but I don’t want to wear that when I’m just doing shit. It’s stuffy and also I end up looking like some republican dork ass.
Any drippers in here that can advise me?
easy, just have a body size that exactly matches industry standard sizes
:baby-matt:
I’ve always found looking good in clothes follows the 80/20 rule, like I don’t do anything special or buy expensive stuff but getting clothes that fit (SUPER IMPORTANT, fit is imperative over everything) and colors that work together and then thinking about what I want to wear each day instead of just throwing on whatever’s lying around consistently puts me as one of the best dressed people wherever I go in public. I’m not into high fashion or friends with any hypebeasts so this probably won’t cut it if your social circle are a bunch of instamodels but for a random working class person I think I do pretty good for what amounts to a very modest effort.
Have fun and express your style in a way that makes you feel comfortable. I love thrifting too and if you can, accessorize a little. In a work environment it gives people a talking point and makes ya stand out even if your fit is basic. A cool bag, bright coat, silver jewelry, hat with vintage local sports team. Take the comments well! Oh yeah I picked it up recently, do you like thrifting too?
Business casual ends up looking somewhere between a golfer and your first communion. It’s dumb af and there are no actual standards. The adage is that it’s better to be overdressed than under but I’d also check to see what your peers and boss(es) wear.
If you step out of the blue-white-black-grey color palette that most dweebs wear it will be good.
