I'm no fashion expert myself, but who actually listens to these fashionistas/fashion/style experts on what to wear and what not to wear?
Like, what's wrong with oversized hoodies and why should I have to wear salmon-colored dress shirts? Y'all ever realize most of these fashion showcases have these people walking out wearing furniture? What makes their style better just because they jump on the newest crap? There might have been some bias there, but you know what I mean.
What do you look for in your style? Do you actually ask yourself "Is it trendy?" "Is everyone else wearing this?" or "Is it simple and easy to put on?" "Will this look and fit comfortably regardless if society finds this as "outdated"?"

I only trust 2 people with that.
1. The dude where I buy my suits.
2. The old lady seamstress where I buy my suits.
If they say it looks like shit, and do this to fix it, I do that thing.
Fashion itself is at best a side note.
If I walk in off the street and they look horrified at my ripped jeans/ concert T/ sweats/ shorts and crew socks I take their advice on what to change.
I just bought some pants there. Grabbed “my size” pants. Went and changed. Come out to get them marked for hem, and she was like “-blam!- that” and went and grabbed a different pair. I ended up buying the pair she grabbed me. She’s great. Still gotta go back for a hem, but that’s FA and the store is across the parking lot from a great Vietnamese place.
Lesson learned: Don’t buy crap from Walmart. Actually go and get fitted for clothes by professionals. That goes for the ladies too!! Albeit they’re waaaaay better at doing their own clothes. Fashion is secondary to confidence.
So says the big t****e goth girls.
