No sense for FASHION!

[MattHolyman41]

I'm not so rich to go shopping every week getting the best clothes.
My parents prefer second hand stuff. Sometimes I go to normal shops but never too expensive. I found myself to be criticized in many ways that I don't look "in". As if I would give a shit about fashion anyway. But I really look dressed like a cheap nerd!

Last week my sister showed me how to tie my shoes in a "modern way".... you know with the laces behind the shoes tongue and stuff. I found it really uncomfortable!!! so I said screw this! I'm gonna wear it the way I like it!!!
My sister also keeps telling me to start tearing my eyebrows, because they're starting to form a little monobrow in the middle. I always say I don't give a shit!
Then about my acne! and about EVERYTHING!!!

I really don't have any sense for fashion!!! I would hate to wear hip hop stuff, I would hate to wear punk stuff, I would hate to wear any style because I would feel silly and I have no damn money to afford all thi shit!!! ...

I don't think it should alter my social value in any way due to acceptable moral laws in society. But you know. There is always someone who will keep criticizing me! I want to look good!!! I want to leave a good first imperssion by my looks too!!!!

What should I do?

Quite simply, nothing.
Don't try to make yourself look like something your not.
The best sense of fashion, is how YOU think YOU look.

If you think it looks good, wear it, who gives two shits about what other people think? Seriously.

Stop hanging out with douchebags. Why do you seek acceptance from people who do nothing but criticize you?

[The Joker]

If you don't like it, you don't like it, man.

If your friends don't like what you wear, I'd suggest not liking them...IE don't be their friend.

do nothing. dress how you want, your style, your look. why should you tag along with the stupid cliques if your happy how you are? if they don't like it tough. it's not them in your clothes, its you. if they won't accept you for who you are, then they aren't your friends, not really. end of.

Now, there are many things you could do to make you look fashionable;including spending hours in lookbook.nu,fashion blogs, watching runway shows, you could also go to H&M,River Island,etc(I'm assuming you're from England?) and buy their looks...
But I believe that if you don't feel it,if you just don't like fashion...it will show; like you are not going to look confident in your clothes(not to mention that if you don't like it, you are definitely not going to spend so much time trying to become fashionable), which in my opinion is a key factor to pulling off any look

If you're comfortable with the way you dress and the way you are that don't try to change for others acceptance. There are people who will look past what you wear and not let it effect how they see you. Befriend those kinds of people instead of the ones who insult you for how you dress. What matters is that you feel good about yourself. If you do, what other people think is meaningless.

[The Madness.]

You don't have to follow the crowd, be who YOU want to be. It doesn't matter if anybody else likes your clothing. If you weren't a little original or yourself, then what's the point in have a point of view if you follow everybody's trend?

Don't care if your got no "sense" of fashion. Fashion comes and then it disappears, just for the new fashion to come again.

Fashion is mostly for people who got no style of their own.

Our first tip for finding hip maternity clothes is to shop online. There are many fun stores popping up on the internet these days that specialize in maternity clothes with style and fashion sense. Some items available include tanks and t-shirts with cute sayings, full-scale design personalization, and haut couture for mamas-to-be. And the best part about shopping online is that you don't have to leave your comfy chair for a crowded store!

You can also find hip maternity clothes in almost any retail, discount or department store. These fashions are often quite affordable, yet come in a range of styles to fit all your fashion needs. If cute work attire is a must for you, then you are in luck. Fashionable and fun maternity skirts, dresses, slacks, camisoles and even suits are available! You can also find great casual and formal wear, all for any budget. Don't skimp on maternity fashion just because you're saving up for that fancy crib, you can enjoy hip maternity clothes all throughout your pregnancy without pulling out the charge cards.

If you are into high fashion and you are expecting, then you are in luck. Hip maternity clothes are now widely available from top designers and trendy stores and labels. You can look for these items online on high fashion internet store sites, or simply check with a wide variety of your favorite stores to see if they are offering maternity clothing. You can also wear non-maternity couture during your pregnancy with a little creativity. Look through your closet and check your favorite stores to see if you can make items work for you now that you're sharing your belly with a little one.

I understand, MattHolyman41. Your sister is trying to help you, but it sounds like she's taking too much charge of it. Let it be known that you shouldn't dress in a way that you don't like - that's conformity, and conformity is unfair and stupid.

I'm gonna wear it the way I like it!!!
That's the way it should be.

The only comment I'd make is to get rid of the monobrow - I get rid of mine. It looks a little ape-like, like a Neanderthal, and to me it's very unattractive. I think men look better when they look tidy. I also agree that the punk styles and the hip hop styles are a little silly.

The first way to dress fashionably is to find clothes that fit you. If you dress in baggy clothes, you'll look baggy and shapeless. That doesn't mean skin tight, it just means clothes that will hug your body more than floating in the air around you. I suggest straight-leg jeans rather than relaxed fit, and shirts that aren't a size too big.

Since you're not sure where to start, try a few things. Like playing with color. Do you like bright colors? Buy a bright shirt. To make it interesting, try to find a shirt that has more than one color, or, if you like bracelets, wear a bracelet that has a different color than the shirt.
Color can also pop-it doesn't have to be an entire shirt. Maybe you can have a pretty neutral outfit, and then bright shoes, or a shirt that has a splash of color on it.

Also, "color" doesn't mean just bright color. Like the darker hues? Go for deep purple, intense red or cool blue.
"Color" also doesn't mean to dress head to toe in a bunch of color. That can be overwhelming and silly. Pants are usually meant to be neutral. Just wear jeans or something.

You can also have a few novelty shirts. I saw one picture in your profile where you were wearing a shirt with a comic strip on it or something. That's cool too - fashion doesn't have to be a big production, you can just dress comfortably with a simple little shirt.

Those are just a few ideas, since I'm not sure what you have in mind exactly.
