How do you dress? What're you about to buy? What do you think about Incenjucar? All reasonable questions, all of which we're here to talk about--at least, if the last fashion thread is any indication.
General courtesy dictates that you use copious pictures, but spoiler them to keep your posts from being OMG HUGE!
And now, I give you a hipster:
Hot or not? My vote is hot.

but a well-dressed douche
EDIT: For some reason, the guy in the OP pushes my "I sort of need to punch you in the nose" button.
If I ever get a job again, it'll probably be one that requires me to dress business-casual, as opposed to the just-hopped-out-of-bed-casual required by my last job. I sort of look forward to it, because I like having an excuse to dress nice. I'll have to buy a completely new work wardrobe, which'll be fun.

this i know not
Sometimes BR gets a little too preppy for me, so I like to mix and match with stuff from Express:
I don't know what the fuck is up with that guitar though.
It's such a pain in the ass for me to find jeans that fit me juuuuuuuuuust right, but just like Ege said awhile back, it's so worth it in the end.
He does.

That said, I usually wear a pair of jeans or khakis and a t-shirt. Or a button down collared shirt. I used to have two pairs of warmup pants that I would wear frequently because they were exceedingly comfortable, but someone stole them.
So, what I'm saying is. Fuck hipsters.
I mean that is probably the problem right there
someone probably just like went down to Salvation Army, grabbed some stuff, and threw it on the H&M racks
and you paid for it
I've had good experience with them-- they're cheap, and durability was not really a problem (which is a godsend, since I tend to live in my clothes). Also, they're just trendy enough that they actually have some interesting pieces that are not carbon copies of what is being bandied about in the Proper and Popular Clothing Stores (AE and its ilk).
Don't have much money, though, and most of my clothes end up doubling as work clothes.
Anyway, I bought a couple of v-neck 3/4-length sleeved acrylic tops from H&M which do a brilliant job of being warm, looking smart and also being really flattering.
.
They (well, a certain type of sandal) get called thongs here. I didn't think it was strange.
A nice pair of light-coloured, fitted boot-cut jeans from the Gap; a gray-green t-shirt that fits really well but was actually part of my gym uniform from high school, which says "St. Pat's Patriots" on it; and a grey zippered hoodie.
I could probably wear a barrel to work, though. It's a university job.

Ha! As silly as it sounds, it never even occurred to me that BR has outlet stores - I live in Northern NJ, aka Magical Land of Horrendously Upscale Malls, so outlet stores aren't all that common.
Or maybe I've been living under a rock all these years and they're all sitting right around the corner. Go figure. Thanks for the tip though, I"ll have to do some digging around. :^:
The real key is to buy jeans when they're next year's fashion.
I have my
shorts/jeans/t-shirt clothes.
polo shirt/nice jeans/pants
dress shirts/jackets/pants/nice jeans
I wear them all well, and it depends upon my mood or activity for the day or evening.
Yes, except they're jeans and the fashion doesn't change appreciably from one year to the next.
Maddie: "I am not!"
Riley: "You're a marsupial!"
Maddie: "I am a placental mammal!"
Also, different.
Ah, yes.
Fashion rules and guidelines are generally sort of silly.
Like that "no white shoes after Labor Day" thing. Or how you apparently can't wear certain colors in certain times of year. It doesn't matter that it's 80 degrees and sunny, you can't wear a bright color because it's winter!

Heavens, I pushed some buttons. For the record, I don't personally dress like I smoke cloves and just got back from the Clap Your Hands Say Yeah concert. I would totally jump that guy's bones though.
This is how I actually dress most of the time:
I don't, like, detest them, or anything. But that sort of wear reminds me of the total dork role that populated every teen movie in the 80s - the one who was the lead actress's best friend, but secretly loved her. That's not a great archetype to emulate.
Plus. the more-pretentious-than-thou thing isn't my bag.

What? Where do you see the connection between the picture in the OP and an 80s style dorky friend?
Maddie: "I am not!"
Riley: "You're a marsupial!"
Maddie: "I am a placental mammal!"
I like 'em. You can't see them that well there, but they're pretty nice, and they go with my clothes.
I'm in the market for a new pair, though. My friend has these Pumas that I really like, black with the white stripe going up the side, but not only has Puma stopped selling them, but it would be weird to have matching shoes.
Ahhhh.
Any configuration of clothing can look bad if it's poorly assembled. The guy in the OP has a coherent look, even if it is visible that he is trying pretty hard to be vintage, whereas our 80s nerd looks like he tossed together a bunch of clothes that nobody else wore.
grey t's!
and BR is good shit. They have awesome jeans, which also cost like 90 dollars. But I only wear one pair at a time anyways, so its worth it.
Canada has patriots?
I get the difference, but it still reminds me of that. I sort of snicker every time I see a hipster.
Whoever said they were trying too hard? Yeah.
Maddie: "I am not!"
Riley: "You're a marsupial!"
Maddie: "I am a placental mammal!"
But then they'll simultaneously be touting the virtues of things so vile and so incredibly unkind to anything but the most skeletal female form that it makes me wonder if their lead designers are dribbling maniacs that live with forty cats and secretly really really hate women:
And the bad thing is, this isn't just topshop- a lot of women's clothes atm seem so swamped with shitty ideas (Skintight! Metallic! Mid calf skirts! Bubble-cut under an empire waist!) that it's hard to finds the gems in amongst the throwaway, terrible trends.
Rant over, I suppose.
I'd totally bang Andrew McCarthy before I'd bang a hipster.
edit: Cool, pretty 80s Andrew McCarthy, not shriveled, freakish modern Andrew McCarthy.
