Materialism and improving looks

Don’t pick stuff because of the brand. Just go to a thrift store or a cheap clothing store and pick out clothes that look good

I went from streetwear "hypebeast" with thousand dollar Jordan 1's and Supreme belts and jackets to classy muscle fit clothing paired with nice boots and a classy watch and the amount of pussy I have gotten since the transition has doubled if not tripled.

Looking back now, I was a major retard wearing all that overpriced hype clothing. On top of that, if you live in big cities there is already plenty of people wearing the same shit.

Luxury brand items also aren't known for fitting muscle physique well, so if you lift (which you should be doing) there is not much point to shell out stupid money for stupid overhyped clothing.

Unless a brand fits well and is made well you're throwing away money. That's the only reason to buy brands.... quality..

Even then, taking a regular suit to a skilled tailor will do way more to improve your look than buying an off the rack branded one.

Watch Anthony Bourdain interview Frank Shattuck. It's over the top, but it shows how deep down the rabbithole you can go.

99% of people can't even tell you're wearing a luxury brand unless it's plastered with logos, which is clumsy and gauche all by itself.

Only gold diggers and trust fund babies can differentiate between a $30 shirt and a $3000 one.

You’re hopefully not targeting the former and I KNOW you’re not hanging out with the latter

You should not spend your money on fancy clothes. If you are working out you will look good in a white t shirt. If you aren't working out you will not look great in the versace suit.

Being fashionable is important and being presentable is important, but you can do these things in clothes that are affordable.

Save your money for a house, a cool car (this will get you laid), or as investment cash.

Go for clothes that fit and match well. Somebodywho knows how to do this could come out of Kmart looking better than some drongo at Gucci.

Too much designer when you aint really famous is just gonna look goofy.

Only trashy materialistic hoes give a fuck if you're rocking Gucci belts and shit. It's definitely a way to attract women but it's just a stupid amount of effort to put in to get pussy.

You want to know what shirt has gotten me the most compliments while I've been out at the bars the last 2 years? A $15 button down that I got on sale at Forever 21 that I pair with $45 black jeans.

The only reason I'd buy expensive clothes/accessories is because of the quality. For instance after I got my Christmas bonus I splurged and spent $330 on some really nice leather boots. Sometimes spending the big bucks can save you money in the long run because there are stories online of people having these boots for over a decade.

A quality leather jacket is a good investment as well.

I think the only things above $150 in my wardrobe right now at the moment are two tailored suits, 2 pairs of dress shoes, my leather boots and jacket, and a Rolex my dad gave me. And I don't see myself spending big money on my wardrobe anytime soon.

Point being, you can shop very cheaply and still look great.

There's this dude who hits the gym and is already an attractive motherfucker but his clothing and style really seal the deal.

He's got the whole goth emo style happening with straightened lengthy black hair interesting clothing with rings arms bands etc and it gives him a massive boost unlike looking like very other joe.

It gives him an identity and caters to his audience being every emo girls dream. I'm pretty sure he has a total monopoly on the goth type dating sites. He does photography and knows how to take good pictures, his are extremely posey and alone of him in his room but it doesn't matter as it fits with the character and hes attractive.

Just try to look good instead of worrying about brand. Women can recognize fakery with high brand items.

Pick clothing that suits you, your style and your body. Not someting that looks good on a rack or has a brand on it. Fuck me, I'm mostly made up out of brandless clothes and medium range clothing.

Find your own style and clothing, instead of following brand shit blind.

At my work we have a guy who does this. Just throws brand shit together and thinks he looks fly. He looks funny most of the time. It's sad, cause I'm sure it was super expensive.
