30 Can wear almost whatever you want.youre still young.

Nobody can tell you what to wear though.
Just our own styles.:yeshrug:

while I agree anyone can wear whatever they want,
If you over 35, stay away from certain things.
fitted hats. Can't stand mfkers past that age with that. Just stick to plain dad caps.
And no oversized clothing,no fancy coloured sneakers,no cartoon characters on clothing,no fancy jewelry if you not a rapper. or you'll look desperate to these young ho's.
If you hate fancy dress shoes like me, switch to chucks, or classic all black vans, suede desert boots.Adiddas,nike,puma skate shoes.

Addidas low forums, airmax, or af-ones. For kicks.

T-shirts,jeans Basics:
stay away from hip-hop stuff except kanyes. rappers don't wear Thier own stuff.
Stick to plain tees & classics with a lil street edge, nautica,Tommy,Levi's,DKNY,ck etc.
Nothing wrong with fitted at any age, y’all wack.

Wear what you feel comfortable rocking. Trying to stay “current” will have you looking forced and lame. That’s why most of these rappers look like cornballs. They have no identity of their own in terms of style.

Op you have to develop your own sense of style that’s how you get fashionable/drippy

you can wear all the Designer in the world but if you don’t know how to rock it or know what looks good on you it’s waste of time

Maybe I positioned myself as a coli incel type with the OP. A lot of ppl are assuming I’m out of shape and hopeless. I’m from a fashionable city, a lot of the good stuff people have suggested I’ve been doing for a long time (shout out @CrimsonTider). Brehs get very defensive about fashion - maybe cause they were teased in school or something. Where I think of it like asking about new music, people can give me direct suggestions or places to find new music. Ultimately I’ll decide what’s for me.


Nah, if you're wearing yeezy's and asking how to keep up with current trends, you're probably ahead of most the people that replied negatively to the question, myself included. You didn't come off as an incel. Me personally, I'm 41 and still wear loud outfits from time to time, and my teenage daughter doesn't seem to be embarrassed of being seen with me yet lol. As to what I wear, it's mainly air max 95/97's with slim fit stretch jeans and whatever kind of shirt I'm in the mood for, polo, short sleeve button up, graphic tee, whatever. Air max's are a pretty versatile shoe imo. I guess the term is athleisure. I try to keep things as simple as possible. As long as you haven't been dressing just to chase trends, you should have a sense of what works best for you at this point, so just go with whatever you think is a more tried and true look now that you're trying to grow it up a bit.

Insignificant posting from an insignificant poster
For your reference.


So this fit here for today, just something i pulled together in less than a minute/no thought into.


Not into desiigner brands/trendy fashion apparel (for the most part) and everything here, sans the shoes, are over 5 years old (so again, i don't follow trends - stress again, for the most part).


The ensemble here is just a basic curve tail hem, fatigue shacket (shirt jacket), selveged denim, comfy tennis shoes and a basic watch. It can be original or it can be what the masses are into, as long as it's what makes you feel comfortable.


I turn 40 in aboot a month for perspective.




The crazy thing, i've been seeing these fashion inquiry threads here being more prevalent than ever before. Cats really looking for aid. I can dig it.


You just have to sample with different styles, shapes, threads, cuts and hues... see what makes YOU feel "drippy".

Brehs, I’m 31, work remote - I’m losing touch about fashion. I have my go-to brands but I feel I need to switch it up.

So I ask - where you seeing the best drip? It can be specific brands, an influencer, website, YouTube.


no disrespect but I’m not talking broke boy wear.

I’m on the lookout for new shoes/boots. I tend to to wear Yeezys and common projects but looking for something else. Need a new lightweight jacket, finding some decent options with APC and Canada Goose. Been struggling for t shirts and polos so been sticking to plain AllSaints tops and Kenzo polo’s. Japanese brands sit terribly on my body shape so can’t do the CDG or Bape.
