shredding gnar and kicking ass are a couple of my favourite activities, so that's a rabbithole I'm happy to start diving down

(cheers for the links for real though!)

edit: this is a different wave slave? very weird.

do we have any levi's historians on here? was there ever a time when 517s weren't bootcut? found an old pair at the thrift store that seems straight leg but they say 517 on the tag

Who makes a good s/s blazer? Preferably interesting but not too interesting.

Uniqlo U

How would you all make an outfit with something like the below pictures? It seems to fit into the whole americana/work wear type thing with the canvas/corduroy.

I've having a tough time finding a pair of cool sneakers to wear with my work trousers. I wanted Ozweego 2s but they're hard to find in my size and in good condition. Not into Salomons, Nike Reacts, or any kind of plain tennis shoe sneaker. I thought long and hard about Prada Mechanos but they're actually ugly. The next option is Ozweego Replicants but they're just sandals. Where have all the cool sneakers gone?

[BIGBEE]

anyone make a cool lumbar bag/fanny pack like the meanswhile one or better yet the wtaps porter one but < 100 dollars?

[Bobbin.Threadbare]

Its a bit over 100 but the KLÄTTERMUSEN Fimmafang 3.0 is what I've been using for months and completely worth the dosh. Theres a smaller one which is cheaper but the big one is the winner.

[mahi-mahi]

My newest aesthetic goal is “1970s intellectual stoner” any brands that come to mind?
Here are some songs that make me want to dress like how they sound. Please help

[E.T.]

Anyone have experience with Stella footwear? True to size?

[WussWayne]

Fuck it, if you see an S/S caz suit on the cheaps notify me.

what brands from 2014 are still cool

[kickingthefly]

how can i wear this cdg blazer more flaxily-er? feel its mainly a trouser issue

[Copeland]

How often do stockx bids fall through because the item didn't pass inspection? I'm one for one thus far.

[JewTurk]

Wearing these when not actually on a boat deck bad idea?

[Copeland]

I'm sorry for asking this but do these look fake and are they still cool?

was it skate culture that brought back wide legged pants? Curious if I'm a poser or not

[deadkitty]

no. remember like 7 years ago when skaters all wore skinny jeans? "skate culture" is just as affected by broader trends as any other subculture.

[106-2]

Bearing in mind baggy trousers among younger demographics came 'back' firstly with Dickies, I think it's fair to say skate culture was a pretty significant factor there - not saying there weren't others, but saying outright 'no' is wrong imo.

[Benson]

That’s the impression I got as well. Though I first noticed it when reading Japanese fashion magazines from several years ago. It was also way more mainstream (and less unique to skate culture) in Japan when I went. So was it skateboarding culture in the US that influenced Japanese fashion or vice versa? Or did they develop simultaneously or is there another influence I haven’t noticed?

[bels]

Nothing and no-one is above trends. Without doing any research i would put strong money on skateboarders (teenage boys?) just wearing whatever was cool at the time, rather than being the progenitors of a unique lqqk that spread into the mainstream.

[maj]

thinking anyone but executive boards and venture capital are "setting trends"

[fun_yunchables]

big pants for thicc pop my boy jilberto crockett as case study

guarantee u most kids prolly just buying whatevers at the thrift that's cheap n sicc. when u shreddin thru pants eveyr couple months u dont wanna b shellin out 50+ all the time

[deadkitty]

i dont even think dickies r specific to skate culture like at all lol

[CheerUpBrokeBoy]

i mean even outside of any trend or "skate culture" discussion $20 pants that are available at any hardware store, can be styled in a bunch of ways and are available in a bunch of fits/colors is a pretty easy sell to most people

[deadkitty]

[bels]

It's wild that you guys think that trends happen organically after spending like five years on fashion forums. I reckon Dickies probably just hired some hydrating marketing consultant back in the noughties and they put together a roadmap that they executed on.

Big Baggy Jesus was a psyop.

baggy trousers were popularized by madness
