Maybe a weird question, but a while ago someone told my most of my outfits could be worn in any random Friends episode (in a positive way) and it got me thinking: is there some sort of subconscious ‘leftist’ clothing style?

For reference: I saw this article by B*zzfeed slamming Friends outfits but I could see myself wearing most of them tbh https://www.buzzfeed.com/hopelasater/chandler-joey-ross-friends-bad-outfits

    Pretty much all second hand semi-formal stuff. I’m kinda fond of blazers but I hate super fitted modern suits, I’ve always thought they look bland/tacky and bougie as hell, so I generally go for a kind of “dressed-down vintage” look. Basically everything I wear is thrifted or surplus (it definitely looks more expensive than it is), but I get more compliments than some soulless overpriced branded stuff would. Honestly, I think the only non-charity shop or years old thing I have is this jacket, I usually pair it with a trenchcoat or jumper. When I’m not wearing this, I have a khaki jacket-thing I did a few alterations to that pretty much looks like something papa Joe would wear lmao, and an 80s czechoslovak fur parka (really helps with the winters here). I’m not really sure what “style” I have, but I’ve been called homeless and dapper an equal number of times lol. Ig, to the extent I’ve thought about it, I prefer clothes that are practical and a little more interesting. It’s definitely worth spending a bit on something good and making it last years, but I’ll avoid highstreet brands and go second hand wherever I can.

      Just a heads up, but photos do contain metadata which can be used to identify you. Make sure you remove it beforehand if you’re going to post, especially here on Lemmy.

      You do have a quaint sense of fashion though :)
