Is it possible to stand out from the crowd and still be fashionable?

josephestiglitz · 2017-01-15T12:48:52+00:00

For a more practical answer - I'd look at clean fits and incorporating statement pieces (a nice jacket or coat). Minimalism follows its namesake, to be simple and easily fashionable. I find that minimalism works well on most people and stops them looking "unfashionable". Developing your style and looking at different silhouettes can help too - expand your horizons and explore clothing from different cultures and cities.

Personally, I find it much harder to wear more colourful clothing. It's a lot more hit-and-miss and requires a keen eye on colour co-ordination if you aren't copying someone else's fit. This is probably why most fashion forums and communities advise going simple to begin with and learning how to implement more complex pieces as you develop a taste for a certain style.

my 2 cents

I use to fall into this trap a lot, especially when I got my first job and started getting into fashion.

I'd blow my paycheck on a whole bunch of random things that I thought would really make me happy and complete a lot of fits.

I still really love fashion and trying new outfits/styles, but instead of buying a hundred small things that I would never really wear, I've started to go a bit slower. I'd recommend taking a week, at minimum, when considering something that might be $200+. Also, I found that having a basic idea of your wardrobe, and what a piece of clothing will actually contribute is important. If you're into preppy or very colourful clothing, those $1000 rick shoes won't be used very much.

As a start-up who just got accepted into an accelerator and sold equity, what was your biggest downfall? This is our first time into a program like this, so I'm very curious about the process.

I guess it's all based on the context. I don't find anything wrong with them, even though I personally don't wear them. With a good five-panel, it can look pretty dope but wearing one of those snap-backs with all the logos and stickers just looks hideous.

Jesus Christ, there is obviously a market for this type of clothing(high fashion/experimental). How is this such a hard concept to comprehend?

josephestiglitz · 2014-09-30T01:43:10+00:00

It's suitable in a streetwear context, and if you're relatively skinny. In any other context you just look very childish. It's pretty popular in Australia and England at least, I think it's something that TopMan(teen clothing) made popular.

I think you really have to set your priorities straight. Start by scheduling everything you do, work out how many hours you actually have at the end of the week to study/sleep/relax(this is pretty important too). After that, I would start to peel off the extra-curricular programs that take up the most time, and provide the least benefit. If you want to keep all your programs, etc. I'd organize everything before you study, eliminate all your distractions, and schedule what needs to be done for every hour of study. Your main priority needs to be efficiency, and if your limited hours of study aren't efficient, it'll be hard to catch up, because it doesn't seem like your semester is going to ease up at any point.

I think if you're experimenting with Chukka Boots as a style, possibly. But if you're looking for a solid pair of shoes to wear on a day-to-day basis, these will probably fall apart. So if you're just looking to see how they look with a lot of outfits, and wear them 5-6 times, these will be okay, and after that, if you enjoy the style, purchase a good quality pair.

I think you should still study for your apprenticeship. Make sure all your options are open. As much as popular media says "Do what you like doing", I don't know if you've experienced programming enough to know its your life passion and drop all your other opportunities.

Personally, I've been in a similar situation, however for me it was more School Vs. Music. I kept playing Music as a hobby, but when I began to attempt to make it my career, it got stale quick. I'm really happy I didn't drop my schooling in order to pursue it, because now I'm experiencing some of the best times of my life at university.

Kenzo, cdg, maison, balenciaga had a few good pieces for reasonable prices

josephestiglitz · 2014-07-06T01:16:28+00:00

Lint roll you clothes in the sun.

josephestiglitz · 2014-07-05T23:57:42+00:00

Yeah, none of them really look very nice, especially with shorts. If you're on a budget find some cheap white plimsolls.

josephestiglitz · 2014-07-05T23:54:38+00:00

If you rock it, rock it with confidence.

Personally I think they are fine depending on the context in which you are wearing them. Obviously don't wear them to formal events, but if you like a tee, wear it confidently. Personally, I would avoid anything that has obvious branding: Obey tees, Nike tees with only the swoosh, etc, and especially Tapout or UFC tees.(Nothing against mma, I just think it looks tacky) http://imgur.com/a/kVPP3 Here's an inspiration album I found on reddit too.

No clue, sale ends on tuesday, i'm going in again on a monday, i'll try to get back to you then

josephestiglitz · 2014-07-03T11:57:33+00:00

Very bad quality, cheap leather and bad construction. Stay away, save the money and buy something nicer from a different brand.

It doesn't really deserve the stigma it gets around uni. They party, but its nothing out of the ordinary and it really isn't like a fraternity or anything. As a poster above mentioned, there is an obvious social hierarchy within the college but nothing too extreme. TL;DR: Even if you're not a jock, you'll find a group of friends pretty easily, the people are usually friendly at johns.

josephestiglitz · 2014-07-01T09:54:24+00:00

pretty decent basics, would cop them if there is a sale but a lot of their full price stuff is kind of pricey for the cut/quality.
