For me, it was 2012. I had just graduated high school a year before and moved to Seattle. At the time I was wearing volcom shorts and v neck shirts from Pac Sun with red Vans among other things. That was probably one of my worst fits. Also wore band tees/hoodies.
It wasnt until I saw what people were wearing on the streets every day that I realized my style was shit. I had been browsing /b/ for about a year every day. Realized there was a fashion board so I came here and made a few threads in some of my fits and got laughed off the internet. I told myself I never wanted that to happen again and I've been taking notes ever since.

early 2015 followed Japanese brands / emerging trends but none of my friends like this stuff good friend of mine goes on /v/ and said I could join the fashion board didn't know shit about the avant garde crap and memes that are popular here, but I found my comfort zone

2011 after /v/ died of cancer. I then went to /tv/ and only come here on the first months of each year.
Henry Cooper
How did you fit a year's worth of browsing /b/ into a single day, let alone every one?
Jaxson Rodriguez
made me chuckle.
know how most people boot up youtube or facebook as soon as their browser is up, for me /b/ was one of them.
Alexander Howard
Sometime in 2008, I think. The only board I went to before this one was /b/. I can't really remember what compelled me to look at Veeky Forums. I think it was some kind of naïve youthful desire to "become a hipster".
After 9 years of on-and-off browsing, I'm still not very effay.

Kayden Perry
Since 2008. The board opened and I was curious. I "liked" fashion and talking to people online

Veeky Forums still loses
Brody Brooks
2013 got slim, realised my clothes are shit, and mostly bought by my mum wanted to buy a whole new wardrobe that fit my new physique did research, found fa, stuck around
Christopher Young
got some vets in here. How has the style/memes changed over the years? When I first came in 2012 it was all about Rick and oversized pajamas/urban ninjas. Thats how I will always view Veeky Forums
Angel Thompson
Post some of your wardrobe now user, like to see the change from volcom... I remember the skater and goth kids at my school wearing that.
Colton Watson
I try to dress pretty basic/casual most of the time. I dont take many pictures but this might give you an idea.

I FIRSTLY CAME TO "Veeky Forums" IN THE SUMMER OF THE YEAR TWOTHOUSAND TEN, AND TO Veeky Forums IN OCTOBER OF THE SAME YEAR.
WHEN I FIRSTLY CAME TO "Veeky Forums", I CAME THROUGH /x/, LATER MOVING INTO Veeky Forums, MY "HOMEBOARD" FOR APPROXIMATELY SIX MONTHS, UNTIL I MOVED INTO /tv/, WHICH HAS BEEN MY "DEFINITIVE 'HOMEBOARD'" SINCE THEN, ALTHOUGH, I HAVE BEEN WEANING AWAY FROM IT FOR THE LAST FEW YEARS, RECENTLY RETURNING TO Veeky Forums.
IS THE "Veeky Forums" EPIC CYCLE NEARING ITS END, OR IS IT MY CYCLE IN "Veeky Forums" THAT IS ENDING?
Benjamin Lopez
good to have you here friend

INSINCERE POLITENESS IS DESPICABLE, AND INDICATIVE OF A CORRUPT SOUL.
STOP POSTING.

When I first came to Veeky Forums Veeky Forums didn't exist yet, then I was off the website completely for about 2-3 years. When I started to lurk again in...2010? I would occasionally browse Veeky Forums since I already had an interest in clothes/fashion but I didn't really like it. The memes, opinions, general taste people had, etc. At that time I was more entertained by /v/ and /mu/. Sometime in 2012 it became one of my regular boards to lurk idr why

I can dig

Don't be such a faggot. Take it while you can get it.

OP, this color blocking is fucking great. Now I'm jealous.
Ayden Howard
Like maybe 3-4 years ago? My friend introduced me to Veeky Forums a bit before that and we preferred to laugh at it, rather than post etc. He showed me Veeky Forums because we used to giggle at crusty-ass fits in the WAYWT, but I slowly got more and more into it and started browsing seriously. I don't really enjoy it very more, I find it very toxic and around the end of 2015 it seemed to get flooded with streetwear types which isn't really my vibe. I keep coming back to it though because it's addictive and I can't really be bothered finding a better fashion forum. I generally fire up Facebook, Reddit or Veeky Forums without thinking when I'm bored.
I'm glad I got to catch the tail-end of Knoch's posting days, but since then the only trip I've really enjoyed is mwwtt.
Landon Sanders
>2011 when /v/ died of cancer You mean 2007?
Jaxson Richardson
Came here from /mu/ in 2014 back when I was wearing the minimalist meme capsule wardrobe from mfa's sticky. Learned a lot about proportions and silhouettes here but mostly just stayed for the inspo threads. Rode palewave for a while but realized how dumb it looked without darker colors.
I'm still poor as fuck though so my wardrobe is all thrifted and uniqlo and I feel bad whenever the people on this board call the poorfags scum because its very true.
Veeky Forums used to be better back when the shitposting was funny and the threads had more content. Now there are a lot more streetwear people and poorfags in general who don't really have anyone to guide them because all the cooler posters left.
Shoutout to the thrift, DIY, and inspo threads though. That's where it's at.
Elijah Gray
I used to go on /b/ and /v/ during my junior years. I was reguarly wearing shirts from hot topic, levi jeans, converse as well as a black Calvin Klein sweater.
After i discovered Bladee during 2014 I thought he looked really cool and I wanted to mimic his style. I found out that Veeky Forums had a fashion board and ive been browsing eversince
Noah Brooks
I think early 2015? I can't really remember exactly.
I was getting really bored/fed up with Veeky Forums, and I was starting to get more conscientious about my style, so this just seemed like a place to go for inspo.
Most of my time spent here is either >style rate/"draw your life" threads >interior threads for inspo and comfy pictures
Chase White
thanks buds
Adam Torres
Veeky Forums is making fun of you guys btw
Landon Gutierrez
For good reason "Normcore" looks shit and regular ppl will think you're legitimately on the spectrum, when you think a style that makes you look like a cartoon of a stereotypical nerd or geek is actually cool and aesthetically pleasing you might be delusional..
Like that Veeky Forums poster said, this basic semi streetwear fit looks much better in comparison to "nerdy awkward "normcore" and in general being Veeky Forums will make any clothes you wear look better even just a basic tee and jeans will look better than even the sickest fit on this board.
What I never understood is how most of Veeky Forums thinks memecore is cool and no one ever bothers being both physically and fashionably aesthetic to the eye..
Aaron Richardson
since 2008
It was my freshman year of college and i wanted to improve so i went to Veeky Forums Veeky Forums and other "self-improvement" boards
been pretty regular since then, but my stye has changed a lot and I also browse and shitpost more now. When I first came here I just wanted to look "nice," now I buy whatever I think looks cool because I give less fucks/am more confident now I guess. So basically I went from J. Crew and BR to Raf, Thom Browne, Ervell, Lanvin etc.
Austin Nelson
late 2009. saw my big brother on here once and came on. might leave since fashion is trash now.

Blake Russell
I came here in 2016 from Veeky Forums.
Spent a solid 2 years at fit trying to improve my overall health and mental fitness, the after realizing I was starting to get to big for some of my clothes (and the fact that I handy actually changed my style since senior year if high school).
I decided that the upcoming holiday season would be the perfect time to reinvent myself. So I took advantage of the opportunity and spent time studying the sticky.
Just through out most of my wardrobe and am in the process of building something respectable. I'm still kind of casual though.
Carter Thomas
About July 2013. My second year in highschool. I wore flannels, UO print shirts that looked 'funny', skinny blue jeans and weird color shoes. I was interesed in graphic design and ilustration and my life kind of revolved around it (pic related, worked with him). I went to a friend's highschool and noticed a 'cool' girl with pink hair and weird clothes, kind of liked her. She noticed me and weeks later I started going out with her, she was 'interested in fashion' so I wanted to talk with her about that. I thought she was so unique, so i had to go deeper than the average. I browsed /b/ and Veeky Forums occasionally at the time and I saw Veeky Forums once.
I came to realize she was pure shit. She wore fedoras, dyed her hair weird colors, wore shitty prints, awful boots and had no actual conception of fashion. She stopped talking to me suddenly before I was actually interested in fashion. Actually, Veeky Forums changed my life. I did fell in love with fashion and I'm currently applying to some fashion schools (on my second year studying architecture, I think it was a mistake choosing it). This girl now works at petco or something and lives with her girlfriend in our hometown. She now looks like an ugly dude. Tattooed her whole body with a bunch of ugly shit.

2014 or 15 i cant remember well. Used to browse reddit gaming sub alot before it went to shit. I heard some commotion about Veeky Forums and check out the /v/ page. Then it went to shit and decide to pick up Veeky Forumssince i have a slight interest in clothing.
All my clothes are just hand me down and stuff i bought from mall with huge name brand on it which i really dislike. I picked up a lot of stuff on this board and was able to build a presentable and basic wardrobe. Im so glad to have discover this board. Though i dont frequent Veeky Forums as much any more.
Elijah Diaz
That's feminine as fuck

Came here in early '13. Browsed very casually and lured around, lots of funny shit here. Bettered my own style a lot. Was always pretty big with dressing well as my larents dressed me well as a kid, and I guess it just continues that, but way more expensive now.

Matthew Morris
Probably came here in 2011-2012 (age 16 or 17-ish) when I re-realized Veeky Forums had other boards besides /b/
I came here at first because I wanted to improve my look, I dressed like every skater ever and wanted to mix it up
Started learning about brands, silhouettes, different fashion "rules" and concepts
Been coming back on and off but I think I'll stay a while this time around
I just recently went from being poorfag to making decent money, I'm not terribly Veeky Forums but I think I dress well.
Jackson Davis
I think I first starting lurking around 16 so like 2011-12? I came here (as well as Veeky Forums) because I got on a self improvement kick because girls didn't like me so I decided to do something about it instead of just posting ">tfw no gf"
Ian James
I came here during the reeeeeeeeeeeeee trip shit
Xavier Reyes
Was 2011 when I was 15. I had heard of Veeky Forums from some forum, wanted to see what the fuss about /b/ was about and soon got bored of that. Went on /sp/ mostly. I had the Bieber mop and wore glasses. Just wore sweatpants and sweaters all day every day. Then decided it was time for a change, but first fell for the dadcore mean badly. Then fell in love with SLP FW 13 and started mimicking that. Now I'm 20 and have some pretty nice SLP pieces after experimenting with other things as well (had some Rick and Yohji which I sold).
I shit on Veeky Forums a lot but it literally has helped improve my life and gotten me into some cool things causing me to meet some really cool people in real life.
