You do realize he's wearing CDG right? Why are you faggots even on this board if you have zero interest in real fashion?

He's not even an unc no more but a full on grandpa. A guy that age indulging in a gay hobby like fashion (in the gayest way possible) is really cringe. At that age he should be playing with his grand kids and teaching them about fashion, not make sad try-on videos wearing goofy costumes.

>>18710280
>brand name = stylish
NTA but just mindlessly stacking as many pieces from the same designer as possible does not mean you look good. This guy is getting swallowed by cartoonish clothes he does not have the frame or confidence to pull off, he is being absolutely overwhelmed and looks like a salesman coerced him into buying an entire CDG window display.

For one, 45 is not "only". That's beyond midlife. And despite being 45 he has the skin, posture and aura of a 65 year old.

Fashion is for fit and attractive people. 90% of fashion is your body and personality. Clothes are just a paint job that accentuate them. That's why models and supermodels are all young, fit and beautiful. If you don't have youth on your side, then the least you need is fitness. Low energy grandpa looking uncs who look like they have one foot in the grave like him, need not apply.

>The 1995 "Sleep" collection consisted of striped pajamas "bearing prints of identification numbers and marks of military boot prints." Contemporaneous media coverage juxtaposed images of the collection with images taken at Auschwitz concentration camp, and the controversy received international coverage. The World Jewish Congress condemned the collection, and fashion critic Suzy Menkes called the collection "'Auschwitz' fashions." Kawakubo responded that the collection had been "completely misunderstood" and the controversy made her "very sad."

>>18710999
Again, it's not the fit. It's the guy. You /fa/ggots do realize that clothes are just an expression of who you are, right? If they don't align with your body, personality and lifestyle, then they'll just look like a weird costume. It's like a skinny crippled guy with asthma dressing up as a firefighter. When it looks like the clothes are wearing you, it's time to stop. Not everything will look good on you, even if you're a supermodel.

>>18711308
Son, did you miss the other criteria I talked about? Your lifestyle isn't the only factor. And most people are laughing at you and think you're a larping retard for walking around in military outfits
.
Also, "workwear" is not a thing. Only unemployed r*dditors and limp-wristed zoomers think it's something special and treat it like a costume. Most people with a job and a life wear some form of "workwear" (like denim, boots, canvas jackets, cargo pants etc) on a regular basis because they are practical pieces of garment. The same way the entire world has been wearing jeans for decades and nobody thinks it's "workwear" anymore.

>>18710271
what's downright embarrasing is this idea that after a certain age you should stop doing something that you like doing. would you tell someone that likes painting that after 40 he should stop? it's just that your idea about fashion stoped at style and dressing in order to attract a certain atention to you and coping that it reflects your personality.

>>18711304
wrong, clothes are not just an expression of who you are. fashion is a form of art, and in any form of art there are certain conventions that you must learn about in order to understand that piece of art. for example in order to understand picasso's or braque's paintings you need to learn that those paintings are part of the artistic movement called cubism wich has certain conventions that you also must know about like how the emphasis is on structure and composition rather than realistic representation. If you don't then those paintings are nothing more than just some silly scribles. fashion is the same.

>>18711501
>fashion is a form of art
And art is an expression of your imagination and thoughts. Picasso's paintings are his way of self-expression. And you buy or appreciate his paintings because they resonate with you. Same goes for clothes. You wear scene, goth, hipster, skater or whatever style of clothes because they resonate with you and you also need to have the right body, face and attitude to go with them, or else it'll look like some skinny fat manlet wearing a greaser outfit. It will look like a costume, rather than your own clothes.

Also, are you actually comparing a painting to clothes? Your body isn't a fucking blank wall. The primary purpose of clothes is for them to look good on you. Nothing else matters if they don't. You could wear the most niche designer outfit, but if you can't pull it off, then you will look like shit and also make the outfit look like shit by association. It's like people no longer understand the basic concept of wearing clothes that suit you.


>And who do you think designs all the cool clothing?
Again, just because you designed something doesn't mean you will look good in it. That's why designers use models. They don't walk on the ramp wearing their own creations because they know they'll look like shit wearing them.

>>18711572
>It's like people no longer understand the basic concept of wearing clothes that suit you.

what do you wear?

>>18711577
Wearing clothes that actually look good on you, not clothes that you like and feel like wearing. Not every style, color, pattern looks good on everyone. Some things work best for a certain body type, skin color, face and age group.

>>18711586

> I wanted to be a next level older guy

I’m assuming he just bought a shitload of CDG because it carries status and prestige so he would be “next level” while having zero understanding of the ethos of CDG. I don’t think the all-black was as avante-garde as he thought it was, and think the silhouette maintains to much uniformity through out, in contrast to the unique textures.

Forgot to add:
The primary ethos of Comme de Garçons (as per Kuwakubo) was to produce inhuman silhouettes. It’s not supposed to look “good.” There are a myriad of other brands out there to achieve that.
I think one the biggest issues to is board has is that there are many different view on what fashion is.

First pic is full rick owens, not everything designers make is a clown suit

I think in your 20s you can dress obnoxiously while finding your style and land somewhere respectable in your 30s

I started out with a lot of black and white edgy shit and built up a wardrobe of nice earth tones, lots of linen and faded vintage leather that blends together very well, layers nicely and is practical.

Most of the avant garde oldfags are still trying to flex ridiculous runway pieces for attention and don't seem to have acquired a taste for quality and practicality that you would expect from a mature and well adjusted individual..

Another kike brained degenerate who thinks he's "edgy" and "bold" because he likes to intentionally bastardize and mutilate things that came before him. Imagine thinking you have taste because you like such depraved abominations.
No, nigger, brutalism is not a tasteful style. As the name literally says, it's designed to fuck your mind up and turn every place into a soulless, depressing, dystopian shithole. It's intentionally made to look like half assed, unfinished and poorly made work that some lazy, incompetent subhuman would build. It's the kind of thing mentally ill people and r*dditors would come up with because they think it's funny and quirky.

>>18710271
Dressing like everyone else *is* fashion.

But so is trying to look "cool", or "modern"... or whatever the hell that Asian faggot is trying to look like in his I-had-an-accident-with-the-scissors robe.

Fashion is all about communication via clothing. "I'm masculine". "I'm gangsta". "I'm normal". If your clothes have something to say, they're fashion.

>>18712707
People get tired of the same thing over and over, and edgy avant garde fashion has been done to death for the last 60-70 years.

It's always hilarious to me when people think shit like avant garde, postmodernism and brutalism are "modern" and cutting edge, when all those styles are older than boomers by now. All the old men the original creators were trying to piss off with these ugly designs (like a woman with daddy issues) are long dead. But for some reason they still continue push these eyesores onto everyone. It's over, retards. So fuck off and come up with something actually creative.

The problem with architecture like this is the griminess. It would look cool if it was shinier and smoother. Perhaps switch the concrete for marble.

thats why is said >clothes are not just an expression of who you are. what i was explaining is that picasso's self expression in his paintings is trough the style he paints in, and if you dont know the "rules" of that style you wont understand it.

>The primary purpose of clothes is for them to look good on you.
no, because what we consider "it looks good" its not some sort of natural absolute truth but just a mere result of, in our times, pop culture and marketing. For instance in japan after ww2 when the american movies were heavily entering the country the japanese youth started to dress like greasers and yes you can say they were wearing a costume because it wasn't culturally from there but soon enough it became one and gave birth to the japanese americana style and all because these skinny japanese manlets were wearing a greaser outfit.
but to go even further if we look at how monarchs were dressing in the dark ages we can agree that they were looking bad and we don't want to dress like that anymore but back then it was seen completely different

>>18711903
i agree with this, but we live in capitalism so anything that has potential and not only will became a form of consumerism. its just how things work rn

>Because this shit is just downright embarrassing.
Youngshit mentality. Fashion is only embarrassing when you don't know who you are, and old people know exactly who they are and what they want to convey to the world.

>>18714890
Yeah, the 45 year-old dressed like a clown really knows who he is and isn't mentally ill.

>>18713853
That building looks cool though, and you sound like an annoying faggot. The older guy in OP doesn’t look cool, we can agree on that. But neither do the type of people who wear the wasp outfits despite being working class losers.

I refuse to dress like Ryan Gosling.

>>18713858
I disagree. Everything can’t be fashion, or the term is meaningless. Is all non-verbal action between humans “Art” of some type? Fashion requires some kind of SELF expression I think. If you’re just wearing what is maximizing attractiveness within a given situation while minimizing effort… I really don’t think that counts. That’s more an expression of the social influences around you… than you.

Also, it’s dependent on effort. Choosing between a red shirt and a blue shirt might be a form of expression, sure, but it’s only .000000001% so. Whereas someone who designs, makes, and wears their own clothing is engaging 100% in artistic expression.

God forbid someone has tastes.

the textures are wrong with the mesh potato bag pantaloons clashing with the decorated show off ruffled shirt that's under an oversized jacket with no padding and arms torn off
the shirt runs a solid foot below the jacket making the guy look like a homeless dude who looted a clothing store that was being bombed.
The bag by virtue of being the only colored item moves eyes away from the deformed blob silhouette focusing your attention on it being shaped like a cheap binder from an office supply store.
The only two items that match by pure coincidence are the ""running"" shoes and the baggy pantaloons, I could see an athlete basketball player or similar wear those on a casual day outing.

It’s not a question of being too old. It’s a question of not understanding fashion doesn’t trump face or body card. I mean, this guy is dressed like a retard as well so that’s also his issue but on the issue of “too old for fashion” the issue is most definitely age but is rather delusion. The sort of fashion that makes a mature man look good is not the sort of the fashion that makes a young man look good because they’re older, balder, fatter, etc.

i know oofy doofy guys who have a banger wife bc of their personality or some sort of fame/notoriety within a subculture or w/e, i know a guy who has a chad jaw and build but he dresses like a manchild and his wife fucks other guys, i know a handsome twinky guy who dresses a bit too zesty so girls always think hes gay, if you go in the real world its so easy to see exceptions to all these rules you read online.
lol the problem is with women not you. almost half of them are on mood stabilizers depression pills or anxiety meds and middle aged women have the highest suicide rate. they've been making a lot of short term minded choices that aren't working out for them and im sorry for zoomers because you guys are growing up in the era before the pendulum swings back toward the center and corrects. its gonna take a generation of women seeing how miserable and alone the millenial and zoomer women are becoming & going to be as they age and not want to be like that.
