/fa/ - Fashion

If you're looking for high quality, take a look at Incotex for chino's and J. M. Weston or Church's for loafers other shoes. For tops I think vintage is often a great option, it will contribute the most to the aesthetic

vineyard vines
mainstream as fuck but it definitely isn't hilfiger tier

Drumohr, Johnston of Elgin, O'Connell's Shetland, Gran Sasso, Zanone, John Smedley etc. for sweaters.

Incotex, PT01/PT05, Entre Amis, Sartoria Tramarossa etc. for jeans/chinos/trousers.

Loake, Herringshoes, Carmina, Santoni, Enzo Bonafé etc. for shoes.

Thanks. I'm still looking to give off a more playful image and less mature, so prints like the guy on the right are great.

>>10777143
What about Banana Republic?

Ralph Lauren and actually Lacoste have good stuff sometimes.
Brooks Brothers, Gant, LL Bean, J Press etc are all "prep staples" so to speak

>>10777155
If you want mallcore you might as well just buy Polo Ralph Lauren

Ivy League with the most history is arguably J Press. I walk by the New Haven store on my way to work every day

Brooks Brothers hands down.

>>10777514
I bought an old Dartmouth shirt to incorporate into my running outfits
Never encountered more banter in my entire life, mostly from Dartmouth alum who talked shit about Harvard football/basketball

just buy RL

>>10777082
RL is honestly pretty good.
I didn't think much about Hilfiger until I impulse bought a pair of their navy chinos because they were cheap. They fit pretty good.

>>10780854
Barbour is 80s prep

Harris tweed sport jackets is v ivy league style
Same for burberry trench coats back in the days, probably not now

>>10780866
Literally garbage tier prep

>>10781581
Barbour is country fashion, you'd be hard pressed to work it in a prep setting.

I agree with you on their sport jackets, yeah, but the rest of their items would only work in, as above, country fashion. Save perhaps for their ties.

>>10780971
>le bow tie meme
in the trash it goes

>>10781589
>he doesnt know about country prep fash

>>10781581
Minutely valid point about the Harris tweed sports jackets
but they weren't popular in Ivy League schools in the 60s nor is it part of ivy culture now
In American Tradition magazines, the writers talk about a distinct style called "rugged"
Harris Tweed and Barbour definitely fall into rugged

>>10781687
that's what I was saying barbour and harris tweed are, country prep is different and so much nicer than city prep

>anything but city prep
thom browne the GOAT to be honest

>>10781923
man those stripes on the arm look ugly af

>>10781923

>>10781923
Lovely group of white supremacists

Fred Perry

>>10781952
Indeed, what a lovely group of "white" supremacists

>>10781960
But anon he said clothes one step above Hilfiger and RL

Although in my opinion
FP > RL > Hilfiger

>>10781979
fred perry doesn't belong to ivy/prep. fuck

>>10781994
what is FP then?

>>10782016
Mod.

>>10782036
and skinhead, yeah
and casual

>>10782036
>tfw have a hard time deciding between mod/prep

>>10781979
Lacoste > PRL >>>> Hilfiger

>>10782084
Nobody is forcing you to stick to one style

>>10782087
I'm sad for you, man
Tommy isn't even in the same category as Lacoste and PRL
that and Lyle & Scott is a few tiers above any of those three brands and you didn't mention them

>>10777097
Hilfiger is better than that shit

idk if this is helpful but check out hackett some of their shit is great quality and looks okay make sure to look past most of the shitty polos tho

>>10777522
yeah fuck harvard man

>>10780535
>W2c pants that fits me above the ankle like guy in the Princeton sweater.

Interested as well

>>10780535
bump

>>10777082

Brooks brother is your best mallcore/preppy look at a non-designer level. If you want really nice preppy boy shit, look at Brioni, Etro, Officine Generale.

is lyle&scott prep?

>>10783944
That's mod as well. Do the English have their own preppy-core?

>>10784280
sloane ranger

>>10784280
Lyle and Scott isn't a mod brand
Mods weren't wearing knits in the 60s.

I know it gets shit on here a lot but I like casual culture =(

>>10783641
Ralph Lauren purple label is very high end as well
Definitely some of the best off-the-rack stuff you can get

Are Brooks Brothers shoes good quality?

>>10780866
That looks dangerously close to fratcore

>>10785214
What is the main difference between preppycore and fratcore? Fratcore has stronger colors, yes? Or what?

>>10785258
Yes and silly patterns.

I hear frats are leaning more towards slobcore these days, though

>>10781581
Shut the fuck up nobody wears fucking harris tweed sports jackets faggot. Also nobody wears burberry trench coats, you fucking idiot. Your taste is the only garbage.

The brands I mentioned are things that people actually wear, in association with prep idiot.

>>10785214
True but, the lines are blurred

>>10785258
Preppycore generally contains more layers than fratcore.
>>10785272
Preppycore can also have lots of patterns, they are just typically less vibrant colors.
However, just because the colors are vibrant it doesn't mean that is isn't preppycore.

Basically fratcore is a watered down more generic form of preppycore.

>>10785307
So is your pic supposed to be frat or preppy? I have a hard time telling

>>10785342
Well they are degenerates so it's automatically fratcore

>>10785342
Like I said the lines are blurred because frat is watered down prep

http://www.preposity.com/2011/11/kiel-james-patrick-interview/

Check out that old kjp interview on preposity

>>10785364
>>10785364
This is just an emotional response.

Why don't you make meaningful suggestions for things that preps actually wear rather than just insulting people?

Pic related what you call a "degenerate" with a billionaire happily shaking hands with him.
What have you done with your life, that you earn the right to insult people like that?

So why don't you show yourself, or contribute to the thread instead of shitpost?

>>10781698
>city prep

Thats funny because most ivy league schools are in the country. Yale and Columbia are the only 2 in the city.

>>10785384
There is no difference between fratcore and prepcore. Only the people who wear them. Therefore, a degenerate wearing preppy clothes is fratcore.

>post ur pic hurr
Post your pic fratfag

>>10777082
w2c white jacket

>>10785384
Also KJP looks fine, but his fit isn't preppy (PRL shirt, sloppy tie, etc)

I'm a medical doctor btw

>>10785397
>>10785397
Still no contributions troll?

There is no difference between fratcore and prepcore.
So this is fratcore?
>>10781933


Only the people who wear them.
The fashion classification changes based upon the person who is wearing it? That's new.


>There is no difference between fratcore and prepcore.
>Therefore, a degenerate wearing preppy clothes is fratcore.
You say there is no difference, then you describe how they are different.

What has KJP done that makes him a degenerate?

>>10785406
Medical Doctors can be degenerate. Timestamp proof?

Just because you are a medical doctor you think that gives you the right to call everyone a degenerate? If more people in the nation were like him maybe the country would be better?

>>10785422
1. Learn English
2. Yes basically. What have you done with your life, fratboy? Are you KJP himself?

>>10781952
>1 Asian
>2 Spanish

Fuck outta here with your tumblr logic.

rofl what the fuck who the fuck calls other people degenerates

Bumping for interest

Currently writing down my brand collection tbqh

>>10785458

>>10785466

>>10777097
literally the worst brand on the planet

>>10785469

>>10785590

>>10785536
The fit is huge, but the quality is pretty good.

>>10785595

>>10785596
Why not just buy Lacoste

>>10785605
idk, what's the difference

>>10785628
Lacoste stuff has a crocodile on it, Vineyard Vines has a pink faggot whale

>>10785632
>pink

It's navy, son.

>>10785642
Yeah seems like it is, my mistake
It's still a faggot though

Why would you want to dress like you're living in the great depression?

honestly just buy hilfiger

>>10786591
every time I hear about Tommy, I think about that fake commercial in Bamboozled
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=se0TMqjP2yQ

>>10784413
I love casual style, higher-end sportswear but with a hooligan attitude

>>10777216
tfw when you live in cambridge

>>10786690
I like the subtlety
"we're 14, we wear high-end athletic gear so that nobody suspects a thing, we hide in train stations and beat up hooligan firms in the pre-cellphone pre-internet era where a group of kids in Sergio Tacchini, Fila, Lyle&Scott, Pringle, Stone Island, United Colors of Benetton, and Lacoste jumpers/tracksuits/windcheaters and pristine SL72s can attain legend status for their Saturday morning acts of violence; then afterward get up to Manchester for a Paul Oakenfold acid house set at the Hacienda

>>10786714
>we're 14, we wear high-end athletic gear so that nobody suspects a thing

audiblelaughter.mp3

>>10786731
lot less subtle than National Front shirts and Paki-blood-covered boots

Frat = worse fit, less layers, more visible branding

>>10786844
This tbqh

ain't gonna let this slide

>>10788328
k keep me posted

>>10786714
better yet, that athletic gear was probably stolen

>>10777123
Opinion on the Herring Lucca?

>>10780535
this tbqh x2

>>10791562
It looks like he rolled the hem up inside so any white jeans.

>>10778549
anon, fruit of the loom is bottom of the barrel tier, that and the print in bold white blocks is cheap, $8 to custom print

>>10791675
On second look, its definitely tailored that way or it was a style of the time. I can't remember the last time I saw 27 inch jeans or pants of any kind.

>>10791699
But it says fuck ivy so who cares
I wouldn't mind a "TOOK IVY" shirt

>>10780574
>>10791562
shut the fuck up

>>10780962
>>10778580
>>10777193

then also going for extreme high end like Brioni, Kiton..etcetc

w2c preppy sweatpants and frames?

>>10793316
sweatpants aren't preppy

>>10793316
>preppy sweatpants

>>10777097
Ugly fag shit

>>10794371
>preppy jeans

>>10794371
>>10794195
then what do you wear when you go do sports? chinos? lmao

>>10785692
for the dank memes my man

>>10795128
>what do you wear when you go do sports?
if you want to look preppy while doing sport, wear a tweed sport coat with ocbd, chinos and loafers.
Or you could just wear appropriate gear for sport and dress preppy the rest of the time.

>>10795128
A polo shirt and chinos/shorts if you're just casually playing with your friends
If you're actually on a team or something you would obviously wear your team uniform

fuccboi here, what are some preppy frames for square/long heads?

>>10795956
Oliver Peoples Lummis

>>10795983
thanks senpai

How do I pull this off as a darker skinned dude without looking like a stereotypical shitskin? I'm Iranian but thankfully don't look super gross other than a large nose

>>10796172
You trim and shave properly. Since you're Iranian and not Asian/dindu I think you can pull it off, you just need to stay away from the sun a bit and make sure you're not hairy.

>>10777123
carmina doesn´t belong there, way more expensive

>>10796195
Of course, proper trimming to make sure I'm not a hairy gross fuck is essential, that's already something I emphasize in my daily regimen. Why would you recommend staying out of the sun? I only ask because I swim regularly, and work as a lifeguard in the summers so I get golden as fuck about half the year. Would very muted, lighter colors offset this, or should I really just try to keep things as pale as possible, skin-wise?

>>10796209
I just said so because preppy is a very east-coastish white dude look. And my guess would just be that Iranians ran faster than Europeans, right? I know middle easterners with the same skin tone as me (Scandinavian) but they turn brown as soon as they step in the sun.

>>10796172
dress like ahmad zahir

>>10796221
>I know middle easterners with the same skin tone as me (Scandinavian)
Syrians?

>>10796249
Nah the Syrians just came, I don't know any of them. I know quite a different bunch from different countries of origin actually, most non-yuros are from Iraq

>>10796221
tan* faster, sorry I'm tired as shit

basically just don't get too brown senpai and you'll be fine, you'll be surprised how yuropean some kebabs can look, maybe even you can as well

>>10794404
what do you think prep is?

>>10796278
Hmm, food for thought. Thanks anon!

>>10785367
