What Veeky Forums memes have you fallen for over the years?

what Veeky Forums memes have you fallen for over the years?

for me it's:
>common projects
>techninja
>memeochrome

I bought a pair of Clarks Desert Boots long ago when Veeky Forums was really into them because I found them on sale while my at-the-time girlfriend was dragging me around lame stores.

I had never worn anything of the sort but I happily wore them around the beach town we were renting a house in to chill that summer.

That must have been, what, 2011? When did Veeky Forums go through its pseudo-MFA phase?

I haven't fallen for any memes since I don't think.

Memochrome and Skandinavian brands. I own CPs as well but they're in the generic white colorway.

How come monochrome is bad?

It's not even Veeky Forums meme, there was always fashion trends revolving around one color.

>clarks desert boots
>adidas sambas
>slacker
>comfycore
>uniqlo socks
only one I kind of regret is the CDBs since my style shifted and now I only wear them in the winter

>>uniqlo socks
this is a meme?

The only thing wrong with Clarks Desert Boots is when you try to dress them up, à la MFA. They're still a good casual shoe to have in your collection for occasional wear, like Converses. Pic related is MFA cancer.

What's wrong with Uniqlo socks?

Oh yeah dude, I wore them to the ground, they were fine shoes. They were just definitely a meme here earlier in the decade. They were near-about the #1 recommended clothing item on Veeky Forums.

That's simply the only meme I remember explicitly falling for in that I saw them in a store, saw them on sale, and felt like "man everyone on the internet loves those I guess I'll get some"

I almost fell for the techninja meme. Luckily before I put any money into it I saw someone in full techwear irl and realized how stupid and out of place they looked.

I agree with this. Even in Tokyo it's goofball-tier IMO. I see twig kids in all black with covered faces and shit a few times a week and I really never think "wow, cool".

Veeky Forums got me into raw denim, which is still an essential part of my wardrobe even though you all have moved onto other Veeky Forumsds.

there's nothing wrong with them, they're just very popular on Veeky Forums and for good reason
none of the things I posted are objectively bad or dated, really

Reeboks but I actually like them

minimalism

glad i grew out of that

I fell for the desert boot meme too. destroyed them in a matter of months. it was my gateway to dressing well, however.

Are rick owens shoes a meme? I have heard they have weird proportions in real life

Literally the most inoffensive style lol

Why do you cucks hate /scandinavian/ minimalism so much? It's like the least offensive way to dress and it's aesthetically pleasing to the eye. How are CP's a bad thing?
They're not ruined by normies like memesmiths
and converse because they cost more. Also
they just look more pristine. I get that you want
to be contrarian, but "cuck-core" isn't even that
popular.

Minimalism in fashion is amazing
The internet cuck """"minimalism"""" is fucking garbage

>2 patterns
>3 layers
I'm not seeing what's minimalist about this

inoffensive in the most obnoxious, millennial way

>They're not ruined by normies like memesmiths
they're run by hypebeasts instead. I've only seen CPs twice IRL, once on a stereotypical fuccboi who tries to dress minimalist in all black but it calshes with his normie haircut and he just ends up looking like a cunt
the other one was a litteral fucking middleschooler, chubby as hell too and he paired it with a bape sweatshirt
scandinavian minimalism is nice when it's done correctly, but half the people here go for it and most of them can't pull it off

Minimalism
Talking about your minimalism is pretentious and such a poseur move.

that's not real minimalism, just a tee, black skinnies and brown shoes (god why)
no color coordination, no personality, nothing
at least if he used black or white shoes it would be monochromatic

it's lame, played out, and a pretty good indication that the wearer literally has no personality to speak of. desu i'd barely consider it aesthetically pleasing, it's more like a visual equivalent of white noise.

cause no one manages to do it well and even though there is lot of things you can do with it, the people dressing in it look the same

please dont let those boots be slp because they look like absolute fucking shit

Why buy the tan suede meme SLPs when u can get the superior black leather?

Thank god someone else thinks the suede chelseas look like shit. If you're gonna go suede, get the harness boot.
