I am not a guy who used to pay attention to clothing fashion because I felt it was expensive and hard to follow those ever changing trends. But I am seeing lot and lot people keeping up well with trend. I feel like I am falling behind and I need to stay up with the trend too.
So how do I stay up with the clothing trends with not spending too much time on it? How do you stay up to date with it?
Most of these comments are reddit levels of snarky and unhelpful, wow.
“How do I keep up my style?” Top comment: “I don’t, and neither should you.”
Great, thanks. Just because someone’s hobby isn’t tinkering with their Linux-variant for 5 hours a day doesn’t mean it’s worthless, especially to them. A lot more men are into fashion than Lemmy would have you believe, OP, don’t get discouraged!
My advice is that if you have no clue where to start looking at “trends”, I always recommend going to see what the big menswear fashion brands are doing in their seasonal collections and seeing if there’s any outfits, silhouettes or pieces you’re drawn to. Trying to find versions of those at your price point is the easiest way. And if you like things from a few seasons past, even better, because you’ll definitely find them at thrift stores and 2nd hand resell sites like Poshmark/Depop/etc for a fraction of the price.
Also look for natural fabrics (cotton, silk, linen), not polyester. Tencel and Lenzing ecovero are good alternatives of you need the elasticity and smoothness certain polyester fabrics have but can’t splurge on the higher cotton/silk quality. Polyester tends to trap smells, degrades quickly, and is basically recycled plastic clothing. Best to avoid.
+1 for natural fabrics wherever possible. In my experience, they are almost always better for day to day wear, and I live in a COLD climate
