I'm getting my long-ass hair cut tomorrow. Which of these styles is the best looking?

Note, I'm not going to make my hair blond like the last dudes, it shall stay a dark brown as in the middle guy's hair.

Greetings, /fa/shion gurus! This is a board where we discuss fashion and style, which includes clothes, makeup, hair styles, and accessories.

-A few rules:

1. Showing your latest style is always appreciated. Please keep in mind however that this is not /hor/. Lets keep the conversation fashion focused.

2. You don't have to post a picture of yourself, but it would be helpful. At least post a picture of someone similar to your physique.

3. Make it easier for us to give you advice by posted your height, weight, body type, and current sense of style. Commonly asked questions may be addressed in this sticky, so please take the time to hit reply and browse through it.

4. Some subcultures have an affiliated sense of fashion. This is NOT the place to discuss your personal feelings about said subcultures (although this is the place to comment on why you find certain fashions to be hideous).

If you have any questions please PM Kyduh (Usually idling in #toughguys and #99chan) or one of the more responsible mods/admins

What makes a professional model? Well it needs to be a profession and while some models can manage this freelance most who can actually command payment are signed to a /modeling agency/.

There is a difference between a modeling agency and talent agency/talent search/model convention/scam. Model agencies are in place to book jobs and find work for the model and then take 20% of everything that model makes but if you're signed to one you have access to all of the high profile jobs unavailable to an unrepresented model.

Clients work through ad agencies who work through modeling agencies any other type of representation is a waste of money.

Modeling agencies have one job and most are based in the big cities i.e. New York, LA, London, etc. In order for you to be a professional model you have to be signed to a modeling agency for all intents and purposes of this FASHION KNOWLEDGE.
So what makes up a professional model? Well it differs depending on gender and this is where /fa/ is very very very wrong. Female models have a very small window of acceptance, female models are expected to have or have close to by one inch maximum deviation a 34 inch bust a 24 inch waist and their hips must measure 24 inches.

The height is the real disqualification here and female models have to be at least 5'9 or they will not be considered competitive. There are exceptions to this rule however you have to be so stunning that this handicap is seen as trivial otherwise you're fucked.

Female model demand shifts from year to year and preferred hair color, eye color, skin color is dependent on the trends of that season. Female models are as young as 16 and are usually done with their career in fashion by 24.

For male models it's much more open, average male model stats are a 33-40 inch chest, a 29-32 inch waist (any skinnier and you're fucked, sorry /fa/gs), and hip size is usually unimportant. That's right /fa/ all of you out there that think that by rejecting exercise like a retarded Vietnamese hooker is the hot thing to do are fairly unfashionable.

Are you going to be wearing them often? I've had many many different colors of glasses (from black to red to blue to purple to black again). And I've found that simple is often best. Get a thick plastic frame without any obnoxious rhinestones all over it and you should be good. I would stay as far away from any kind of 'print' glasses as possible. Ray bans and vogue have some very nice styles.
And hell, I got those from sears. you dont need to go to your fancy eye doctors place and buy some kind of miu miu or prada glasses to look good in them.

ITT: If price wasn't an issue, how would you dress?

I would sport the gentleman style almost all the time. Top hat, cane, dress pants with a well-fitting vest and chain pocket watch. I would have a few different three-piece suits, hats and canes so I wasn't wearing the same thing every day.

I'd probably by quite a bit from Hugo Boss. If I wanted to go really out their, I would try to put something together thats based off clothes during the late 1400s to early 1500s.

I've been looking at buying a Members Only jacket, however, the price for a leather Cafe Racer jackets on eBay is massively inflated due to the current resurgence in the popularity of these jackets. Does anyone know of any other jackets resembling this?

Small, nitpicky question here. How important is it for outerwear to match the rest of your clothes? I'm wearing a skirt with dark brown heels and was wondering if wearing my black pea coat would look okay. Does it make a difference that my skirt is plaid and has both brown and black? (pic related, it's the skirt I bought) It looks okay to me but I don't exactly trust my fashion sense...

If you need a pic just ask. Be warned my apartment has shitty lighting and a tiny mirror.

Thanks!

Seriously man, how could that possibly look good? Just, stop for a second, okay? Think about what you're saying.
Pic related

Anyway OP, I personally love jackets and coats so I have a lot that match different outfits; however, outerwear doesn't usually have to match your clothing entirely, just make sure it doesn't contrast it.
Similar tones (darks like black and brown, for example) usually work fine.
Still, a picture would be nice.
>> No. 4586
Maybe >>4537 just meant not matching colour-for-colour. Like not wearing purple shoes with a purple shirt and carrying a purple bag, but rather pairing a YELLOW bag with the purple shirt, and a pair of brown boots. Not identical, matching colours, but they still look good together.
>> No. 4589
>>4586

Still, you should match belt/shoes/watch. Matching yellow and purple is still matching, seeing as how both colours compliment each other. What works: Black/white/, Yellow/Purple, Red/Green, Blue/Orange, etc. Gray works with most colours, earthy tones works good with green, stuff like that. It's not hard to figure out, really. Blue works great with beige too, like beige chinos and a blue trench/coat/peacoat/duffle/you get the picture. However, not matching at all will probably make you look retarded, like brown shoes, purple pants, black belt with a red t-shirt.

Hey /fa/,

I have a weak chin. It's been bugging me lately cuz I've been able to see myself moar in the mirror. I keep telling myself I'm only 19, it'll round out by the time I'm 26. Or that I'm only 145lbs, if I can gain some moar weight...

But I dunno. Ed Norton is a handsome guy, and he has a weak chin. He also looks really well with a beard. I can't grow one cuz of my job, but I can do a stache. But that might make it worse cuz it would make my upper lip look bigger and my chin further back. I'm considering jaw implants sometime, which is something I could afford, but I'm not certain.

/fa/ can you help me?

I don't really see what the problem is. Are you worried because you don't have a cleft? I think your chin and jaw are fine.
I'd say lose the stache because it throws off the casual look you have going. And grin or something.
>> No. 4585
Duzn't quite look like your chin is the problem. From the front you look fine, but from the side, the angle of your nose and the way you hold your neck make your face look flat. Keep your neck a bit straighter, and your head a bit higher.
Even easy going, relaxed guys should keep good posture. If they don't, people just think they're stoned =P

Also, your mustache right now looks to be somewhere between piddly and nonexistent. Either wait till you can grow a thicker one, or shave it off. I'd say that if you had a big bushy one, it wouldn't look completely horrible, but the fact that it almost completely matches your skin tone makes it look like nothing more than pre-pubescent fuzz.
>> No. 4588

I agree.

Also, I suggest you get rid of that "little boy haircut".
It makes you look like a little kid, perhaps you should consider getting a haircut that has a bit of structure to it, short back and sides and leave a bit extra on top so you can do different things with it.
That mustache is pretty weak, go ahead and get rid of it. Theres nothing wrong with your chin, but you should work on your posture, standing up straight does wonders.

In my opinion, you look better with glasses on.
Get some new frames, you look pretty retarded when they're uneven. I'd suggest you get some thicker plastic frames, looks better than the tiny wire thingies you've got goin' on now.

Get some decent fitting (read: not fucking baggy) black and blue jeans and indeed, tighter shirts. Show off your toned body. Get a light tan if you live somewhere sunny and possibly buy some button up shirts and matching slim ties.

Perhaps a leather jacket if you live somewhere colder and some nice shoes. Don't buy sneakers, they make you look immature. I don't know what kind of an image you'd like, though, so just go out shopping and see what you'd like. Experiment with colours and layers. Don't buy hoodies, you'll look like a nigger.

I got a friend that is stuck on the idea of getting a trench coat. He and I used to be very socially isolated; he still is, but I got out of it. Now he wants to get out and start doing stuff. Get a girl, make casual friends and just look good in general. But he doesn't know how he wants to look. I've told him to read fashion4nerds.com, get a company or two you like, etc.. But he doesn't want to budge when it comes to the classic black trench coat. He's focused on practicality over looks. He wants to be able to stash his laptop in his coat and trot off. I've told him to get a good looking laptop backpack or w/e. I've also told him about peacoats and the light cyberpunk look, which he could pull off.

But nope, gotta have a trench coat.

Could /fa/ help me with this? Provide me with alternatives to trench coats, good cyberpunk looks etc..

There's nothing "classic" about a black trench coat unless you are going specifically for the ultra insecure wannabe tough guy nerd look, or the WWI look. Even then it's overdone and looks shitty.

Have you had him look at any bridge coats or greatcoats? Do a Google image search for "greatcoat," and you'll find many that are reminiscent of a trench coat, but much more stylish. Both are more functional than pea coats and more attractive than trench coats. Military surplus stores and websites sell them for a decent price.

On a more general note, get it through his skull that if he wants to LOOK GOOD, he needs to wear clothes that are not only practical, but also LOOK GOOD.
>> No. 4573
OP here,

I can see where he's coming from with trench coats. I used to be the same with and stuff. I wore combat boots my whole 9th grade year (don't ask). But I got out of it with high school. I started my fashion escapades with college, but it's only been recently that I have been able to look good. As much as I don't want him to do the trench coat thing, he may need to go through it like a phase similar to me.

I'll try to hold his hand as much as I can...

I looked up great coat - they're double-breasted. Do not wear this or try to get your friend to wear it. Unless you're an actual member of the RAF or you're going for the Jackie O look, you'll just look like a pretentious asshole.

Ok, so I've decided to cut my hair short. I've gone from really long to short several times (donating to some cancer wig thing) but this time I think I want to cut it, style it, and keep it short.

So /fa/, my questions is what you all think might look good on me (besides a bag). I'm going to donate a last time, so it won't be real long to work with. Styles that take some maintenance are okay as long as they can look okay without work as well.

I mean like these. I know I know, azn hair is different. I just mean some choppier bangs that you can let hang infront of your head but you can also part. Nothing to dramatic. Just some longer layered bangs.
Also parted more than in the pic.
You've got alot to work with, look at a lot of different styles. At the supermarket you can find cheap hairstyle books by the People and Time magazines.

this is a drawn example of what I mean. Just some wispier bangs, and leave your hair on the sides long, maybe a bit layered, but you don't want a choppy butch cut.
