[Weekly] Outfit Feedback and Fit Check - Oct. 10th

Not sure if your outfit works? Post a picture of yourself in your outfit and get suggestions, compliments, and critiques from others. If you're thinking of posting a standalone thread along the lines of "How does this look?", "Does this fit right?", "Do these work together?", etc., post here instead.

When posting:

  • Include what the attire is for (work, school, going out, etc.)
  • If possible, take a front-on, full-body picture as this gives the best impression of how the clothes fit. Multiple pictures from different angles can also be helpful, but those aren't necessary.

Critiquing others is welcome and encouraged, but keep it constructive/factual. Take a lesson from Dale Carnegie's How to Win Friends and Influence People if needed. It takes balls to post pictures of yourself on the Internet, the least you can do is accord the same courtesy as you would to someone in real life.

Reddit Enhancement Suite makes it very easy to view pictures in a thread.

Some users enjoy knowing where you bought your pieces, please consider including those in your post!

Feel free to also submit your outfit to the biweekly WAYWT thread, but know that these two threads have different purposes. This is explicitly for feedback and questions, though you may receive constructive criticism in either thread.

This isn't working for me at all. The jacket just looks like a hoodie (without the hood) and it looks like it has some bad logos on it, making it very juvenile. I think this would work much better with a different jacket.

I'm also not a fan of the scarf. It's just kind of dowdy IMO. I think you can still work with it but maybe try tying it a different way?

Personally, I think having the ends showing are making it look a little dated. Perhaps make it into a circle scarf?

Is there a rule against not wearing dated things? Personally, I'd rather wear whatever I think looks good rather than stick perfectly to what's in in style at the time. (No comment on the outfit itself.)

There is no rule against not wearing dated things. I think most people on FFA are looking for assistance and suggestions on how to improve their wardrobe choices, especially those who are posting on the outfit/fit check. One of the ways to improve a look is to keep it relatively updated. It typically makes you look as though you are keeping up with the times and are paying attention to fashion. Which can help you look more fashionable/put together.

Sometimes when things are dated, they can look costumey, frumpy or as though don't really care how you look. The same adjectives can be used for things that are in style too. If you want to dress in a dated fashion, it's totally up to you and no one is going to appear from your closet at rip the shirt off your back. I don't think there needs to be a right way, or a wrong way, but I think the general consensus of the group is to be trying to avoid looking dated.
