We have a massage thread on /wiz/ and a skin care thread here on /hob/, so I thought a few wizzies might have a good fashion sense as well. Am I wrong? I don't think I am, because we already had a couple of fashion threads in the past,

So let's share some tips and discuss which clothes would suit a modern day wizard; helping him blending with the city's bitumen and the urban environment in general.

Personally I like to wear pic related when I want to walk unnoticed among mundanes

 No.30593

Roughly half of my clothes are milsurp. BDU shirts breathe well and have practical pockets while not looking strange, and I have some British army shorts that I wear daily for weeks without washing and they don't smell and haven't been damaged in the 2+ years that I've worn them. They also have enough pocket space that I don't even need a backpack unless I need to get something from the store.

I might not look 'good' but I don't think I look outlandish wearing a plain tshirt and camo shorts or jeans and a work shirt and they are very practical. Also cheap, I got half a dozen shirts for ~$35.

The most outlandish thing I do own is a Bundeswehr gore-tex that I got for $50 because we get big summer storms here and it's easier to have a waterproof coat in my bag than carry around an umbrella all day. It's a bit obviously surplus as it has German flags and velcro spots on it, but a retail gore-tex is also upwards of $3-400 so I don't particularly care.

 No.30596

I predict some anger in this thread, just like the skincare one. Never mind that normies will treat you better if you dress decently, and any true wizard's personality should be enough to repel succubi from 100 paces.
I go for slim black jeans and muted solid colour tops normally, never any kind of pattern. Things fitting well is the most important thing. Not that you need to get stuff tailor made, just use your common sense and/or ask the shop assistant if something fits well. It's like with barbers: they know more than you about this shit, so take advantage of it.
Wish I could afford to buy some new clothes now. I used to be a 31 or 32 in jeans but lost a load of weight and had to punch new holes in my belt to keep my pants up. Been trying to force feed myself but it's getting nowhere.

 No.30597

I like plain clothes and milsurp best.
If I were leaving alone I'd probably only own thermal underwear, a pair or two of jeans, some combat pants and a sweater or two.

more failed norman threads.
i have 7 plain tshirts most of which have holes in them and 3 pairs of pants and one business suit just in case. explain why you need anything more than this. a fashion hobby can easily be done without buying and wearing the actual clothes. you want to do it for other reasons than 'your hobby'.

 No.30743

My wardrobe is as follows:

>one black t-shirt, a different black t-shirt with 3 buttons, and a gray t-shirt

>a pile of old tattered shirts that all have giant holes in the armpits that I don't wear anymore besides when I'm doing laundry
>one pair of loose-fitting black gym shorts (I wear these while at home)
>one pair of black basketball shorts (I put these on over the gym shorts when I leave the house; they go below the knee and feel better in public than just the gym shorts, but I've worn a crotch-hole into them so they can't be worn alone anymore)
>recently acquired a pair of plain blue jeans online since being outside last winter was a bit cold with just the athletic shorts, but I haven't started wearing them yet
>an old blue zip-up hoodie for going out during the winter
>short black socks and whatever generic looking black knockoff skate-style shoe I can find at the discount shoe store

Does this qualify as good fashion sense?

 No.30745

My clothes are mostly tattered t-shirts and trousers from when I was a teenager.
I enjoy wearing button-down shirts though, but I take them off before I go outside (which admittedly isn't very often) so I don't stand out.

 No.30754

I wear the same thing everyday. I went to target and bought 3 or 4 pairs of the same long green cargo pants and 5 pairs of the same dark blue T-shirt. I don't wear underwear and I never match socks if I wear them. I own 3 pairs of shoes, some running joggers my mum bought me. Some larger sneakers which my mum also bought me and some ugg boots which I bought myself. I own some jumpers/hoodies when it gets cold. The most fashionable clothing item I own is an old sweater which is worn out and too small for me.

So, I was looking up the colloquial usage of the term "drop-dead" in the context of a "drop-dead sprint", and the first thing on the search results were these fucking guys:
http://www.dropdead.co/collections/guys-everything

At first I thought this was just some fucking normalfag thing (which I am right in thinking, because fuck me these people are retarded), and I was getting a kick out of laughing at the shit people legitimately buy. Including, but not limited to, some of the dumbest "goth" stuff I have ever had the displeasure of seeing, the flannel equivalent of a flame shirt, some of the edgiest and stupidest "look at me, I'm such a nihilist" cancer ever, and stuff that looks like they could looted it off a fucking corpse they ran across in the forest. Imagine my surprise when I saw shit like pic related.

Don't bother with fashion; wear whatever you find comfortable. The alternative, being following the trends like these fucking people, is worse than death. We may look like shit in the eyes of society, but at least I don't feel like a goddamn clown while I do it.

 No.31999

>>31871

Yep, the common folk then are a lot like common folk today. succubi were the only ones who really gave a shit about what they wore. Main difference with males today is that t-shirts aren't considered underwear and jeans aren't considered workwear. Even then, men would wear their workclothes if they weren't completely torn to shit. Their dress clothes, if they had any, were only used for special occasions. A lot of pictures you see from that time period are peopled dressed in their best just for the photo since getting photographed was uncommon enough to warrant dressing up in your "sunday's best"

Fashion is for normgroids with boring personalities, Let's be honest here. It's all tryhard. Just wear plain clothes like >>33996 . You can find plenty of plain T shirts and pants at thrift stores, and occasionally good shoes that fit. Don't fall for overpriced designer sweatshop trash.

If you want to be "treated better" by wearing a tacky graphic t shirt or 200 dollar weirdo pants, that's not going to happen. You'd be better off buying dress pants and shirts from walmart or the thrift store for that purpose.

I'm a pure utilitarianist, fuck fashion.

 No.34016

For the past decade this is all I wear:
>heathered cotton shirts
(they're softer & comfier than normal shirts)
>pajama bottoms
thicker fleece in the winter, thin airy ones in the summer
>robes
smoking or bath robes in the winter, thin cotton or silk ones in the summer

When I go into public I can't bring myself to wear my pajama pants because I feel trashy, so I'll slip into a pair of cords or canvas pants – you can pull a robe off and not look too silly, if you get the right one, like a thin black robe that hangs at just below mid-thigh, it basically looks like an oversized hoodie, but hangs better.

Beyond that, I wear simple timberland hiking/tactical boots, because they're flexible enough to run in and feel secure, plus with the steel toe I can kick, brace, and move objects in my garage or backyard with ease.

The forces of the world are making it so I have to get a job, so I'll need to rethink this.

I'm going to be the freak here: as just one example, I spent over 800 euros on a single pair of boots once. I really like high end fashion. My wardrobe is small but expensive. However this was almost 2 years ago and I've worn those boots only twice, because I go about 6 months at a time without leaving my house and it's too hot to wear them in summer. Its a really absurd situation.

I like dressing like a creepy Austrian psychologist when I can. For example, a few days ago I wore jeans, a patterned brown-and-green knitted sweater, a navy blue polo shirt with the collar poking out of the sweater, a suede light brown leather jacket, and black doc marten lowtops. Classy, intelligent, comfy, and wizardly. Also tends to repel sweatpant-wearing normals.

 No.36562

I have some black t-shirts with holes in them and one pair of cargo shorts that came with a belt. For footwear I have a pair of thongs that I bought in 2010 and still have a few years left in them and old running shoes that I only wear if I have to walk further than about 1km. Clothes wear out slowly when you're a wizard so there is no need to keep buying more.

Question: men wearing rings.

Yes or no? Arguments for and against? Anyone wearing them? I always kind of liked it, I am already wearing a silver colored watch on my left hand, and was thinking of adding something. I figure it would be hard to pull off, I'd need tons of confidence and no second guessing.

Not at all if you don't try anything too fancy like mixing silver with gold or wearing a ring on every finger. Nobody will probably bat an eye unless what you're wearing is flashy or expensive (idiots can't tell the difference anyway).

Jewelry as a fashion accessory is kind of ridiculous and pointless to me. If it has some kind of function or is a reminder of something though, I'd say it's acceptable.

It's okay to wear your deceased grandpa's watch or your dad's silver chain or something like that. It's also fine if you wear something as a reminder/tool. One of the things that helped me quit smoking was wearing a discreet bracelet I made with fishing wire and tiny colored beads as a reminder to stop being a slave to the tobacco industry.

I'm not sure about rings. If you have an rfid ring for home automation & security purposes it's cool I guess.

I dress like a ruffian because my father keeps telling me that no females will approach me if I do. My wardrobe consists mostly of US BDUs from before digital camo came about. I get them real cheap. I have a few nice large jackets with pocket space beyond reason which I've used to loot. They're mostly winter clothes though. I've been wearing the same hard leather concealed carry vest daily for a year because the pockets hold everything of mine great. The thing is indestructible. White sleeveless shirt, black studded belt that's seen better days, dusted dark denim jeans, work boots, dog chained wallet, do-rag if it's very sunny. It's basic American biker tier but so outlandish where I live because of the feminizing of my countrymen. So many of them try hard to look as soft and fluffy as they can, apologizing for stains on their pants and going absolute bananas when they get a little wet. They all look like little kids following behind their mommy wives, their light pastel woolens over their geek-shique tees from Walmart. No pockets, no protection, just a floating cloud of soft pudgy flesh designed to dispense money for their matriarch. Uhg.

Does anyone here enjoy fashion? I've always had ideas for outfits in my head but often I'm too scared of the public to go out and buy the clothes I've been thinking about, though occasionally I'll pester my mom and she'll take me out to the mall and I'll be able to put something together. I have about three outfits right now that I cycle through and also some extra garments in different colors to mix it up. Sometimes I feel anxious about going out in stuff I've put together, my outfits aren't flashy or anything but most guys just wear ratty shit or follow the "in" style, I'd imagine I stand out a bit and I have had therapists mention my style choices as weird.

It is very uncommon for men to wear actual muumuus but it is relatively normal to see guys in very big shirts. While it has fallen out of style so you don't see it as often as you used to, it still probably wouldn't draw undue attention.
