Sorry if this is the wrong place, but I couldn't find a dedicated topic.

My clothing is very plain, and consists entirely of striped and solid polos, humor tees, jeans, and New Balance trainers. I have a rather simian face and solid frame so I feel like I can't pull off a flamboyant look. Any fashion advice for an AFC?

Hard to say exactly because the look has to match your personality. For my style I picked up my some "GQ" and male fashion magazines and I gather cool looks that would suit me. I don't purchase the exact clothing in the magazine, but shop around to tailor it to myself. Another somewhat gay idea, lol, is to go around clubs/malls and look at other guys or even pay attention to the display models.

The only thing I would suggest it growing out your hair and actually styling it and maybe a tan cause you look British white.

Loling.


I'd either grow or shave your hair. If you're going to rock face hair make sure you can grow it everywhere rather then just patchy, if this is the case probably best to be well shaven.

If most of your clothes fit like the polo in that picture, you need to go down at least one size. This will dramatically improve your look without significantly changing what you wear, since virtually no one wears clothes that actually fit anymore.

It's a lot easier to buy clothes if you think in terms of outfits rather than individual elements. The reason fashionistas consider a navy suit a man's first serious clothing purchase is because it's incredibly versatile: in addition to wearing the suit itself, you can wear the jacket (assuming it's perfectly tailored) with jeans and practically any other top (including graphic tees, if you're into that). In a similar vein, a couple of handmade, white dress shirts should be among the first things you purchase since they can be worn with anything. Just make sure they are high-quality, because the simplicity of the shirt will make any mistakes in the details obvious.

And for the love of all that's holy and decent, buy yourself a quality pair of shoes, and by quality I mean made of leather with soles that are sewn, not glued, to the body of the shoe. Once again, it will upgrade your look dramatically, and most importantly, women will notice.

For the hair, consider letting it grow out and getting it styled. For the clothes, you might want to try the method I just wrote on a different post, it's a great way to get up to speed on fashion while developing a personal style:

And NO NEW BALANCE TRAINERS!!!!! (unless you're in the gym).

Thanks, I took your guys' advice and got some decent shoes. Now I'm looking for a hat, any suggestions? I like my Iron Man baseball hat in the second picture, but I don't think it matches most of my clothes.

I'm also looking at this watch:

As a college student, is dropping $65 on a fashion accessory a stupid idea?

Jeans are still too baggy. Find a tighter fit that's still comfortable. The shirts seem to fit alright. Other than that, I don't have much feedback to offer on your look since I hate the style you seem to be shooting for.

Try ebay. It'll take a few weeks to arrive but the shit off there is very cheap and some of their watches are very sexy. Sometimes too big, but you can alter it yourself for free

Much better with the hat.

Personally, I got 5 hats so I can find at least one to match with whatever I am wearing.

at the end of the day its what you are comfortable wearing, some people prefer jeans some people prefer cargo, some people prefer trousers. it depends on what is good for you. when 'the game' first came out guys thought ill do magic and wear a furry hat and leather jackets and eyeliner and ill get girls.... NO. that is what suited mysterys character. if joe nobody off the street did it people would think you weirdo.


go to some clothing shops and ask for advice from guys and girls at the store, thats what they get paid for.

if you have a look already try other shops and broaden your horizons

heres a few clothing shops/ brands to try if you live in the uk:

burton
H&M
topman
pretty green
the kooples
river island
boss orange
and try department stores like selfridges, debenhams and house of fraser

now heres a warning some of the brands mentioned are not cheap it depends on your budget but you dont need to buy hundreds of shirts,
as a starter buy 7 shirts a few t-shirts 3 pairs of trouser/jeans and a pair of shoes, and that will last you a while, then as you discover what you like more and get complimented on get more like that and less of what you dont like

Dude. Somebody mentioned it already. The clothes you are wearing seem a size, or a few sizes, too big for you.

My advice may seem strange. Start from the smallest size item of clothing and work your way up Don't just drop a size.

Some great advice also is to just go online and find as many clothing websites as you can and then just browse through them until you narrow it down to just the sites you like.

The best thing is that these clothing sites will keep up to date with all the 'latest' fashion trends, styles etc

Good luck

I had to do another reply. Somebody mentioned shopping for clothes on eBay/Amazon.

You can get some good clothes of these sites but I generally avoid them because the clothing can be dated. Fit, style, design etc all dated.

Do what I said and get your clothes from a handful of good solid fashion clothing sites.
