[Meta] Lets Talk About Commenting

Posted: 26 Nov 2017 10:51 AM PST

I think its time we have a conversation about comments and commenting on this subreddit. Also big shout out to /u/test180412 for inspiring me to write this stuff up and hopefully spark some change.

It goes without saying that the majority of the recent WDYWT posts by whitelisted users have been flooded with negativity and hate. Now before I go on, the whitelisted posters are for the most part adults who can handle some comments online and this has nothing to do with preserving feelings. If we conduct ourselves just trying to make people feel good there will be no growth and all this subreddit will serve as is an ego stroking circle jerk. that being said, on the vast majority of recent posts there has been a collection of highly upvoted comments such as "hobo-core", "heroin junky", "school shooter core" and others of a similar nature.

Lets really think about these comments. what are they accomplishing? I think if you were to boil it down they're simply a joke. so who am i? who am I to say, "no jokes allowed! this subreddit is serious business." Well thats not my point at all. I've seen some hilarious jokes on posts and I think taking ourselves too seriously would be the biggest joke of all. to give a personal example in the Boston Techwear Meetup picture there is a comment near 1k upvotes from /u/sonQUAALUDE that reads,

As a white guy I've come to accept that white guys can't really pull off techwear. If you look at this pic from L to R it's like BLADERUNNER, DRONE HACKER, MATRIX NINJA, German tourist on a hike Much respect to the Boston scene tho ✊

Despite disagreeing with his main point, he makes a humorous commentary about photo, and opens up a discussion about techwear that has a lot of nuance to it. I don't even think it needs the complimentary caveat at the end to be lighthearted and clearly meant as a joking hyperbole.

Explaining jokes is stupid: but the point im getting at here is by not resorting to simple platitudes like "you look like you smell bad" you can actually create more dialogue and progress through jokes that have a productive core.

Back to The issue at hand. Comments like "Wtf are you wearing. You look like a soup sandwich." on /u/Hanyiu 's early for work are no longer being seen as some light humor but rather being justified as valid critique of an outfit. Many commenters now simply state criticisms like this and when pressed on their opinions resort to insults or just re-affirming their initial stance.

Now I have talked with quite a few people about this phenomenon and many have said things along the lines of "well its the /r/all effect, when a post hits the front page it get flooded with hate because it's from people who aren't as interested in fashion". I wish this was the case and although there is a fair amount of distain from people outside of the community, many of these comments come from active members within.

lets take the post from /u/ImDeluxx yesterday. No where close to the front page, only 60% upvoted as I write this and yet, pretty quickly after posting Noah was met with comments such as the tame but unproductive "meme", the unnecessary and now deleted "my least favorite whitelist poster" and sitting with 40+ upvotes "He's the most cringy, quirky dude on reddit". Granted, the aforementioned fit is not my favorite and there are things I would critique. But, as /u/test180412 eloquently put in the most recent Jah fit.

For those members complaining about the declining quality of this sub and lack of WDYWT posts, take a good look at this comment section. Most of the top comments are inappropriate and filled with negativity. In a couple of hours, OP has been called a heroin junky, homeless, cheap and nasty, smelly, stinky, and a bum. All because of a custom sweater that might not be your thing. This isn't a random celebrity, it's a member of the community who took a few hours out of their life to provide us with content. The approval process to be a WDYWT poster is already a lot of work, and no one wants to post something just to get roasted in the comments. In fact, I've noticed that a lot of the negative comments are made by people who don't contribute any positive content to this sub themselves. This is a likely explanation for the decline in WDYWT posts lately.

We have reached a point where people can hide behind cheap insults and justify it as productive. If someones fit isn't up to your liking you should take it upon yourself to write out and articulate why you don't like it. I have been impressed recently with the quality of conversation and discourse among users in the daily WDYWT thread. I used to comment on every single fit to provide compliments and critique but recently people have been beating me to it (/u/topper102 and /u/Looste to name a couple). People in there have been making thoughtful and articulate comments about fits and I have seen an increase in many users output quality.

Now, This is not to say that every whitelisted poster should be met with unequivocal praise and i certainly don't want this to be perceived as me saying WDYWT post are not to be harshly critiqued. I think the key to this subreddits success comes from the community working constructively to give feedback to its users and strive for excellence. If the community here is content with low quality critique than that is all were going to have. the voices of the many drown out that of the few. If you are one of the many frustrated members here who is upset by the lack of good content, giving well thought out critique and comments is the easiest way to see the community blossom.

Obviously the sub is close to 500,000 members and i would be surprised if even 1/50000th of that read this post all the way through but if you're tired of shit content then help by being the change that you want.

All in all I'm just some guy who want the quality of the sub to go up but let me know what you think. I would love to hear some other opinions or feedback in the comments.

Hot or Not: Moto Patches on Tops

Posted: 26 Nov 2017 05:57 PM PST

I have a few pairs of Moto biker style pants with knee pads on them, and recently came across this sweater that has it on the elbows. Do you think this Moto Patch look can work on Tops as well? Or only on jeans, sweats, other bottoms?

(Discussion) Whats happening with the sub?

Posted: 26 Nov 2017 09:32 AM PST

I been lurking this sub for a long time and stuff, and this last days im noticing that people make so many shitty jokes shitting on the people who uploaded their fit and get upvoted to the top, also they are really close minded.
i have no problem with making jokes or giving advice on fits but that type of comments are really discouraging for the people who upload stuff. is anyone noticing this?

What's your biggest obstacle when it comes to dressing how you would like? (money, stature, proportions, weight, confidence, grooming, etc)

Posted: 26 Nov 2017 09:31 PM PST

For me personally, it would have to be height, I'm currently eighteen and am 5'6.5'', 5'7'' with shoes on, it's definitely not the shortest, but I'd like to grow to 5'9'', it's the average height and most clothes are made for people of that height; I personally think that's the ideal height. However, I do have good proportions, legs are long and my torso is relatively short and I'm pretty slim, therefore I'm not that bothered by my stature.

What do you guys struggle with?

I genuinely don't know why I bother. Why do you bother? Is your interest in fashion worth it?

Posted: 25 Nov 2017 04:48 PM PST

I dress for myself, to give off the impression I want to give off. I also dress to look good, to be appealing, to look attractive. Neither of the two require me to wear expensive clothes. I don't have to wear a Haider overcoat and BV chelsea's.

Maybe for the latter, but bar the obvious of having clothes that fit and look good on you, certain girls are attracted to guys who appear to have an interest in fashion, and yet a CK sweatshirt would work for this.

I wear expensive brands for myself, I bought Common Projects because I did not want to settle, I wanted to have that specific shape, that design and I could not find it elsewhere for cheaper.

But sometimes it feels like I am just buying into consumerism. I mean most fragrance adverts give off the notion that you will be more suave, cooler, more attractive, you'll essentially be a sex symbol for the time you wear it. To an extent colognes do make you more attractive, so do more expensive clothes have the same effect? Wheres the cut off in price?

For clothes it's a designer, you buy into what he/she is portraying, what the clothes give off, quality and too and extent to show you're interest in the subject, that you care for your appearance.

But other than the interest in fashion, buying designer shit does not really seem worth it. I mean you buy €500 boots and you have to watch out for puddles.

Even in terms of attraction, if you were to shop from River Island, Topman, Zara.. Girls would think 'oh he looks good'. Most girls or guys don't care. I was looking to buy a pair of SLP boots, my brother said 'people don't notice the brand of boots, buy a Canada Goose jacket'.

It's not even flexing on other guys. Guys who are interested in fashion where I am from wear super skinny jeans and NMD's. Most just wear Adidas half zips and skinny joggers, some hoodies.

Most people I know wouldn't know what Saint Laurent jeans look like, but they could call you a plethora of names for spending that amount of money on them.

What are your guys opinions on it? I mean if you want a pair of Saint Laurent Wyatts, they are expensive, no one knows what they are other than that they look good (but at the same time chelsea's would probably be more appealing to a larger audience), are they really worth it for you to know 'I've got Wyatts on, that's the boots I wanted, they look how I wanted them to look with the rest of my clothes'.

If you're out to attract girls, you could buy an entire fit (maybe multiple) for the cost of one pair of boots.

In terms of quality, ok they will hold up better but there are cheaper alternatives that hold up quite well too (Loake etc, which you can find for dirt cheap used).

So. In your opinion, is it all worth it?

A Kind Word on Steady Hands Customer Servive

Posted: 25 Nov 2017 06:19 PM PST

Earlier today, the Racing Pants I ordered from Steady Hands Apparel arrived, and it seemed like it wasn't made correctly. I emailed Wesley (the owner?) and he got back to me in <15 min, and he gave me a guide to figuring out what, if anything, was wrong. I did some measuring and fitting and realized/remembered that I actually had an injury that fucked up my leg, and that it was my leg and not his pants. I laughed for about 5 minutes at how retarded I am, then emailed him back. I offered to write this, and here we are. This was after there was a miscount in the original thing I ordered, and he offered my a size change or refund as well (I took the size larger). 10/10 customer service.

What are some clothing styles did y'all have when you started to get into fashion?

Posted: 25 Nov 2017 09:11 AM PST

IMO a person style is changes as time passes. Age and lifestyle reflects how a person dresses. When I started getting into fashion I wore the hoodman uniform because I had hoodman friends. White af1s, baggy levis (or Roots trackpants s/o to my Toronto mans) and a Tommy Hilfiger windbreaker and topped it off with a fufu Louis belt. Eventually I started to look into fashion forums and inspo albums and the journey of my style went off from there. How did y'all dress when you started?

Do NOT buy from DSRCV!

Posted: 25 Nov 2017 11:34 AM PST

Most of you know that they buy from Ali/taobao and re-sell it, however, this is not why I'm furious with them. The reason I use them is because they state that their shipping takes 1-3 days if you pay for express.

This is not the case, I have waited 3 weeks for mine, not a single word. They ignore all my messages on every social media platform, they ignore my emails. I give up, £50 wasted on joggers which i'm never going to get. Joke of a 'company'.
