Undercuts are now a meme

The problem is he's falling into the trend at all. It doesn't matter if he gets into it 3 years early or 3 years late, he should be playing into it at all because they're always shallow. Fashion isn't as simple social signalling.

>Fashion isn't as simple social signalling.

Maybe not to you, but to 90% of Veeky Forums I'd say it is. see

Going to private school and dressing in a way that says "we're rich kids having fun and we'll only have more fun the more it bothers you" is the best way to follow trends.

Look at how much people cry about Chubbies and Canada Goose on here. They're both played-out memes from a fashion perspective, but people keep wearing them BECAUSE it's obnoxious and pisses losers off.

If you're following trends that people on Tumblr like, you're doing life wrong. You want to look like a prime candidate to show up on some blog as an example of a white guy not checking his privilege, then just ride whatever trend allows you to do that.

There is also this, trends are regional.

what in my post made you think I'm into follow trends? That's what I'm complaining about.

If you're afraid of falling victim to styles being "played out" - pick something with a higher barrier to entry.

If you are unable to meet this barrier to entry yourself then you have nothing to complain about as you are part of the problem.

I'm explaining the power of overplaying something flashy so much that people get mad about it and how that's different from the stuff in the OP.

Just a thought that crossed my mind as I was mulling over the question. Edge cases, I guess.

Sieg you forgot to trip, you fat obnoxious cunt.

how high a barrier are we talking about? full Rick?

>Going to private school
jew?

Private school is hardly an exclusively Jewish thing. Not sure where you're getting that unless you're from NYC or something.

>Going to a public school

socialist cuck?

There's a difference between fashion and things you wear, user

>>undercuts are now a meme
Were you living under a rock for the past 3 years? By 2014 EVERYONE had an undercut.

Heads up, manbuns are also a meme. Just reminding you so you don't come here in 2019 asking the same stupid question.

That's a monetary barrier, not a creative or intellectual one.

Try going to a library and going through archival looks, both runway and street fashion, throughout the entire last century. Get a sense of history and context, so you can build your own personal taste and style with a sense of timelessness - not that you actually must follow it, half the fun of foundations is teasing them apart

Or don't, and stay pleb forever.

I hate this transitioning state we're in right now, short hair is meme, long hair is meme, tied hair is meme, shaved hair is meme, what the fuck

I know people should just look for hairstyles that suit their headshapes and features but is nice knowing what's going on

>Private school is hardly an exclusively Jewish thing
Jews send their kids to private school for better admittance to colleges, but also shields the from propaganda.

No i'm not from a public school in NYC thankfully.

Not op but what are some books you can recommend?

Really any barrier works to avoid people playing something out, and financial is pretty much the hardest one.

If you can stack that with the more creative stuff, then you're as safe as you can hope to be.

Watches are a great example of this. Something like a Patek, Cartier Tank or Audemars Royal Oak has a place in some timeless fits, but it'll never get played because of the financial barrier.

That's why everybody sends their kids to private school, retard. Why else do you think they pay all that money? Christians are so interested in protecting their kids from propaganda that the really rural ones or those who can't afford private school will go as far as to homeschool just to keep their kids away from the full-retard shit in public schools.

You can't just base your identity around being better than those around you, user.

>Try going to a library and going through archival looks, both runway and street fashion, throughout the entire last century.

like im sure you've done, with ur patrician taste and god tier fits

post fit

Sander's People of the 20th century for example. Yamamoto praises it as an influence in Notebooks on Cities and Clothes. You can find research catalogues of historical styles, ie in footwear or textiles, etc. if you just poke around a library. Exhibit catalogues are great resources too, if you can find one for anything staged by Judith Clark, don't pass it up.

Not on a chan that archives.

Maybe get something conventional

timeless thread?

basic jeans and shirt could never be a meme

just like EVERYTHING that looks/feels cool, faggot, if you are stuck in time with what normies wear, you better start lurking.

>>clubmaster sunglasses are now a meme
fuck THAT shit this isn't stopping me

Welcome to the Veeky Forums echo chamber. Everyone here is a retarded shitposter, including me. Just don't take any advice or thing said in this board seriously, and help us destroy it like it deserves.

wow thats a really good picture

My solution has always been this:
If something starkly stands out to you, it will stand out to everyone else, and is at higher risk of becoming the next meme. Look at undercuts, all I could think about watching Fury was Brad Pitt's hair. In the following year like 20% of guys at my uni had it. The same concept applies to clothes items, the more "different" it is, the more it will immediately catch people's eye.

The key is to have styles that look nice but in a more general sense. People can look at you and say "wow he looks nice/stylish/put together" but shouldn't be able to pinpoint exactly what it is. Also another thing is to not stick too starkly to just one kind of look. You can keep a general aesthetic, but try to be flexible and versatile. The reason workwear turned into the lumbersexual meme is because people went way too overboard with it, instead of just sticking to a general concept.

TLDR: Opt for a more general and versatile aesthetic, so that you're less likely to get caught up in the next meme.

This, so much this.

Look at pic related: there is nothing flashy about this haircut, nothing about it stands out in particular, but it still looks nice, and you would still describe this as a nice haircut.
