Casually explained Men's fashion So the world of men's fashion is a wacky, wild and turbulent place especially thanks to the Internet where 10 years ago if you discovered a men's fashion forum looking for advice, they had said, "Yeah, just wear jeans and a shirt that fits properly,"and you had been leagues ahead of your average dad just by doing that. Nowadays while they exist to some degree, those fashions and
forums have diverged and
then grown into huge subcultures. They include things like your mainstream business attire,high-fashion, casual wear, streetwear, and all sorts of subgroups under that, including things like your sneakerheads, tech wear, skatewear pale
wave, avant-garde and then everything Kanye has been in the same room as on the surface they all seem like completely different and confusing genres but
its kind of like how there are a million types of movies but they are all built on the same principles, So if you break it down into what the actual purpose or inspiration of the different trends are it starts to make some actual sense So to start with the obvious you take business and formal attire and it literally has barely changed for a hundred and twenty-five years besides the Fat Conductor Hats.
A basic suit looks fantastic all the time and the only way it doesnt is if it doesnt fit or you are wearing it at the wrong place, and thats the whole point Its a super simple yet refined outfit That says I am a respectable put together person representing a respectable put together company so sign this contract and lets monopolize American steel So is that devolves a little bit you have something like business casual, which is of course much more prevalent nowadays as business has become a lot lessface-to-face and a lot more online Some people wear business casual or chic casual outfits all the time but it works better if you are a bit older because if you are a high school student or university freshman you can come off as abit incongruent because there is really no reason you had ever need to wear a buttoned shirt other than when your dated rove you to prom or that one job interview you have had So I might be good to wait until you have at least paid taxes before you look like you filed someone elses So in my opinionthis is the point where things get interesting because you get to your casual everyday clothes where you can really express your personality by copying what popular rappers are wearing so by far the most rapidly evolving area of men's fashion.
I think casually the most noticeable shift recently has been the huge prevalence of streetwear and designer brands gaining popularity with teenagers and young guys
mean not that long ago The only people who had to spend money on Gucci were rich middle-aged guys buying their wife something for an anniversary But nowadays the barrier for entry is getting like three as that semester The part that I found the most interesting about some of the street-wear culture is that a lot of unfashionable items are worn ironically where
you are sort of saying" I know so much about fashion that I am wearing something I know is unfashionable because in order to identify something so unfashionable you would have to know a lot about fashion" Like a while ago it would be as simple as wearing
a pink shirt and putting your hair in a bun because it was the opposite of traditional men's fashion at the time.
Then later It was overalls in a bucket hat because you live in a city and haven't ever caught a fish And then eventually jean joggers and a NASA fanny pack because you are emulating that one weird kid in middle school I am still sour about this because I was literally that kid in middle school and people did not think I was fashionable I did, however, have a pouch for my laser pointer. Now this sort of ironic incorporation of uncool items certainly doesn't end there because some brands seem to have been built almost entirely on this sense of consumer irony, and I think the most brilliant example of that is Supreme And they were originally a much smaller kind of skate shop clothing brand, but effectively they said" Alright, we are a pretty niche shop with a pretty dedicated clientele. Do you think people would buy just a regular white shirt with a box logo on it for $30?" And it turns out they would. And as they got bigger, they said alright, what about something like a Zippo lighter? And that sold out instantly. But as they kept getting more traction they just said" Leave it." Nunchucks? Sold out instantly. which had already explained.
Tennis balls? Sold out instantly. Fire-extinguisher? Sold out instantly. And at one point they must have had a conversation that went" All right, what is literally the least useful stand-alone
item we could possibly sell? And someone said" How about a brick?" Yeah, brick and look supreme was pretty big at the time and everything was selling out But would people actually pay $30 for a brick? and of course the answer was no, they didn't. Almost no one would pay $30 for a brick. They had to pay $1,000 for a brick because it sold out instantly.*disappointment in humanity sinks in*So anyway, hit me up for that collab Like, like actually though. So once you go deeper into different contemporary fashions you
will find some very interesting sub categorizations and they explore the extremes of other genres and some of them are pretty weird So, the most well-known is probably high fashion which does get a lot of flack for being weird But its really more of an advertising campaign for showing off a designers inspiration for upcoming commercial lines than it is for actual practical wear So in a way, its almost weird by design which is neither here nor there for me But if we start looking at the niche clothing that people do wear on a day-to-day basis it brings us to some super interesting trends. I had already explained it.
So of course a massive group that permeated all casual wear are your sneakerheads,and these are the people you might have heard of who would camp overnight to cop a fresh pair of Jordans But they only really wear them once for Instagram and then they resell them the next day at five times the price too rich Asian exchange students something like normcore is wearing literally your entire outfit ironically, effectively dressing as blandly as possible on purpose. Pale wave is a sort of minimalism that centers around a lack of detail and subtle pastel color palettes. I quite enjoy this look because if people come over to my apartment, I blend in nicely with my IKEA furniture then there is all black everything which is also a pretty solid choice (if you don't like sorting laundry) I mean, I think its cool because it makes your washer spin cycle look like a portal to the fourth dimension that's
pretty neat and then something like avant-garde which is sometimes called goth-ninja is
way more complicated but is fundamentally about being able to sneak up on people perfectly camouflaged in the urban environment, and then being able to tap them on the shoulder and they will drop dead instantly
Conclusion
Lastly, we have tech wear which is the most technically advanced clothing possible. Your jacket casually weighs about 14 micrograms and is resistant to all four seasons simultaneously our
carbon fiber gore-tex underwear is completely waterproof from both directions and has a concealed pocket for up to two Magnum condoms Honestly, the only downside I can find to a tech wear outfit is that it costs $4,000, and you only use it to walk to work? Now at this point, we have casually barely scratched the surface of all the fashion ideas that are out there but moving forward all these areas of fashion will continue to evolve in some very interesting in unpredictable ways. Personally, I have been trying to Pioneer comfort which focuses on being as comfortable as possible at all times. The only downside that I have realized is that its the literal opposite of fashion and usually devolves into you not leaving the house and binging Youtubes top 10 lists so you have no Instagram traction on that one yet, but I will keep you guys updated. I think I had explained all according to my knowledge keep visiting my site to read more thanks.
