How to be?
You may say like “go thrifting, here you go” but that’s not the case. Fashion trends go round the luxury brands that set them up. Fashion influencer deck themselves up in luxury items as if they won’t be taken seriously otherwise (and it’s sorta true). How to cope?
Bless the recession as it would make those people you look up to to realize that their items are nice but not a several k of dollars nice.
>working class
Where did you get that ridiculous vocabulary from?
You ESL?
>t. parasitic class
>How to be /fashion/ as a working class? [SIC]
IN THE SAME WAY THAT YOU WOULD BE FASHIONABLE BEING «NOT "WORKING CLASS"».
BEING FASHIONABLE IS BECOMING STYLISH; FASHIONABLENESS CONSISTS IN ADAPTING GARBS TO YOUR PERSONALITY BY IMPLEMENTING A STYLISH ATTITUDE IN THE MODE OF WEARING, COMBINING, OR ALTERING THEM; CLOTHES DO NOT MAKE ONE FASHIONABLE: ONE FASHIONS CLOTHES.
IF YOU HAVE NO PERSONALITY, YOU HAVE NO STYLE; IF YOU HAVE NO STYLE, YOU CANNOT BE FASHIONABLE.
browse depop ebay and etsy obsessively to find good stuff listed for cheap
holy shit you said nothing with so many words
this but buy oversized and crop all your shirts
considering it’s trendy to dress like you’re poor rn (every italian designer peddling thousand dollar sweatpants) literally just dress walmart and people will call you drippy
I guess work with what you’ve got first. Get skinny, make sure your hair is nice, etc. You’ll look better in anything. Then either look for fast fashion that’s passable, save up for nice pieces, or save up for a decent sewing machine and learn to make decent clothes.
One way to cope with feeling pressure to keep up with luxury fashion trends is to focus on personal style and self-expression rather than trying to fit into a certain image or mold. You can also consider supporting sustainable and ethical fashion brands, which prioritize social and environmental responsibility over fast trends. Additionally, you can explore second-hand or vintage clothing options, which can be a more affordable and sustainable way to add unique and one-of-a-kind pieces to your wardrobe. Ultimately, it’s important to remember that fashion is a personal choice, and what matters most is feeling confident and comfortable in what you wear.
Imagine living in a country where a minimum wage job doesn’t leave you with hundreds of dollars disposable income per week
Buy reps srs. I buy reps bc of my political views and I get to look clean without spending crazy amounts. You do get what you pay for tho, so even tho you’re not spending crazy money your gonna be dropping 700 dollars on hauls and shit. Also don’t try to larp as a rich gay or hypebeast pls just focus on looking good
>I buy reps bc of my political views
The amounts of mental gymnastics cheapskates go through. No you don’t, you buy them because you have to have all the bling in the world for cheap but at the same time you don’t get enough cash to get the real deal, which tells a lot about you.
hecking political views lmao.
What’s next, "i buy fakes because of my religion"? "I buy fakes because i’m autistic"? hecking lmao, lol, kek, roflcopter even!
Piracy is a pretty legit political practice and I enjoy watching people like u seethe bc of your commodity fetishism
>tfw I’m contributing to fashion companies losing trillions by wearing reps
>blames someone for commodity fetishism
>buy reps of fetishized commodities
As i said before, the mental gymnastics are hilarious.
>le ethical consumption under capitalism
I buy air force’s for 40 bucks and you spend 110. It’s not that hard
Noone said anything about ethics.
You’re jumping through hoops of justifying why you’re getting reps of fetishized commodities and trying to tie some stupid "political beliefs in", while simultaneously pretending that you don’t fetishize commodities.
Not only that it borderline schizohypocrite behaviour (you’re blaming others for something that you’re doing yourself) but is also just plain absurd.
>I buy air force’s for 40 bucks and you spend 110.
I don’t buy them to begin with, rep or not.
Not that guy but
Mad
Yeah, mad at how brainless some people are and eager to argue on mongolian basket weaving forums about it.
Nah fetishizing commodities is
>ZOMG you’re not buying rubber sneakers at the official Chinese factory for retail price! Instead you’re buying them from another Chinese factory made by the same workers for a reduced price! This is somehow bad in my mind!
What isn’t commodity fetishism
>hehe you say you don’t care about sneakers when you appear to be wearing air forces yourself
I buy the same shoe I like, for cheaper, and Nike loses trillions. Simple as.
I’ll chew it out for you, my dear mental gymnast.
You’re buying a rep of a sneaker that is a highly fetishized commodity because of several reasons: branding and styling. You could have bought anything else, but you convinced yourself that you need that thing and nothing else will do, kapish?
>Nike loses trillions
Yeah, i’m sure Nike is going bankrupt as we speak because of some stupid on 4chin and their hypebeast antics.
I’ll advise you to find some better excuses next time. How about "I’m buying reps because my chakra told me to"? At least you wouldn’t have to make up asinine crap about politics, kek.
Why are you crying?
kek, ancap melties fuel me when they get undercut by commiechads
Cope harder paypig
holy hecking CUHRINGE
Good reps are expensive though. High quality rep bags may costs several hundred bucks and more, yet you cannot be pretentious about them. High street brands often make a knock-offs for popular luxury items, but they look sad too because they portray the owner as someone who has given up being poor.
If your understanding of "being /fashion/" is "wearing any designer clothes", you are completely hopeless.
Name one affordable brand that has started a global trend
>heh, I’m bringing down globalhomo brands from the inside by supporting child labour sweatshops directly
>dressing well = buying luxury clothes
this line of thinking is how you end up wearing stupid fits like the OP pic
b-b-b-b-ut I spent $600 on whites """""work""""" boots that I would have a heart attack if I ever spilled a drop of soda on, surely I’m /fashion/ now!!!!!
$600? what are you poor? lol. i empty sawdust out of my off whites every day after work and just buy a new pair when they’re ran through every week
seriously tho i have a few pairs of $300+ sneakers and I like them but it just gets annoying when i can’t wear them anywhere since my walk to anywhere involves a dirt path
i would just get reps but i can’t be bothered hecking around trying to figure out which have the most accuracy and trying to buy them through wechat or whatever
Have you tried not being a poor cunt?
Hope you get cancer
Reps
>heavy makeup, fake blonde asian girl
Absolutely horrific, even worse than the baddest nightmare imaginable.
I prefer white authentic girls.
The problem with reps is that good ones tend to cost a lot, but you don’t feel bougie even though you’ve paid some bougie money for it. At this point you might be better off going for some know off look alike from some cheaper brand.
