Backstory, used to be into my appearance 6 years ago, but fell off due to depression. I am wanting to start dressing better again but don’t know where to start. What’s hot right now and what trends are good and bad?

F*** trends what do you like

jean jacket wit the sleeves cut

nah but fr, if u need a direction just peep the wdywt thread and you can pick and choose the styles u like or want to get into

personal style is hard to develop without some sort of foundation for what u like so establish that first before rushing into trends and whats hot

find something to connect to whether that be movies, music or literally anything else

instagram, pinterest and youtube are great for inspo but its a double edged sword because u can end up just mimicking instead of truly finding whats rly you

Last time I was into fashion I was into a lot of bright or pastel colors. But I’m really feeling the alt black looks, (I’m black) and also more feminine stuff cuz I’m bi and wanna express that more

Then just explore that then, go find some inspiration online and experiment with different looks to see what you like, don’t worry about trends too much or else you’ll just end up with a bunch of clothes you won’t like in a couple months

Sweater vests and platform shoes bro trust me

The guy said he suffered from depression and you trolls are already here trolling him. Op you can get inspiration from fashion instagrammers / youtubers you look similar to you (body, hair etc) or go into stores to try different things on and you'll develop your own individual style. Key thing is confidence

People watching is one of my favorite go tos if I need inspiration and just being outside helps a lot too

If you want to just go through a whole bunch of different styles/cool fits, this thread is good: ktt2.com/fotd-the-archives-82308

I think you might be able to find a few that speak to what you're looking for and you can build from there

honestly copying outfits you like is not a bad place to start at all. maybe save a bunch of outfits you like into a folder (celebs, people on IG, here on KTT etc). Go through the pics and see what you like, what you could buy for your own wardrobe etc. I'm not saying if you see some Dior combat boots you like go buy those, but you can get a cheap alternative to try out for for yourself etc

also try find people which have similar build to you

like i can never rock ysl since i am not exactly skinny

F*** someone beat me to it

aight then

flat cream laces

Don't chase trends, it's better to just stock up on timeless staples/essentials.

Get these

depends on your body type too, was able to up my fashion so much after lifting

i suggest making your own style. don't jus get something cuz everyone else is wearing it if you see something you like get it :​
