Ok so basically i wear hip hop clothing like sean john, rocawear, ecko ect...but I'm startin to not like that stuff anymore. I don't really like the stuff i wear anymore it's way too baggy and I'm not feelin it. I don't really like the really preppy abercrombie stuff but I like stuff like the Mark Ecko line and LRG stuff that's different and has a cool look. I like being different and like stuff that most people don't have and stuff that looks cool. I also want to get away from the really really baggy jeans and clothes but not wear super tight ish. I've seen some of the japanese and UK clothing lines and also some others that I just never knew about but i don't really know where to start. If anyone knows what I'm feeling and could give me a run down of some stuff i'm looking for or give me a little help then that'd be cool.

straight up! do you man...... I know that clothing is for the self conscious and to cover insecurities, and I myself are one of those people. I actually think all people ARE, just who is more than the other. Except for that, It's all about how you want to present yourself to other people and society. If you want to represent yourself from things you've copied, posed, or learned from other people just because you want people to think your cool, that's just fake. Just do you man, what you think is cool, know what i mean. I mean i'm not saying not to get some ideas on your fashion, I'm saying go do your research and then start finding things on your own and get some individualism..... if you listen to us... your just always gonna be asking people what they think is cool.... On the sidenote, some of this shit might look dope to us in hypebeast but you have to understand outside of hypebeast something might look UGLY as fuck to people..... sooo keep that in mind, be different but not loud ahahahahha.... that's my advice to you ..... peace 8)

Yea i know i get what your saying and I'm not just doing it to copy people and shit i actually want to get stuff i like and i just wanted some ideas like a list of companies to pick and choose what i like and the only styles i've known my life were ghetto, preppy and skater and I'm not really feelin any one of them completely and I don't wanna be stereotyped as being like a specific style cause i don't like the stereotypes that goes with it all. I like all the shit that looks cool but I didn't really know where to start so i decided to ask...also i don't care what people think, i'm ganna buy what i like. But thanks for the advice.

fuck all the other jeans, DO NOT PAY OVER $50 FOR DENIM!!!
go to sears or kohls and pick up Levi's 559 or 569 jeans. Trust me, the best and most comfortable denim. Do not be fooled by jeans over $100 bucks. You are just paying for a trend. Jordans suck, Nike Dunks suck and now Stabs suck as well. Stick with Adidas shell's or am 90's...get a nice "official" pea coat from an army/navy store and keep the t-shirts neat and simple....

Kan, well duh.
Response, no some jeans are priced because of quality. They will last longer and of course look better. Clothing-wise I'd say Japanese brands are of better quality as well.

Check some of the jeans from H&M also. Nice price. They actually have some very nice sweaters this season also.

agreed, but only when talking about true religions, sevens, and other brands of that nature

I don't agree. True religions and sevens ARE better then cheaper brands because they have more styliszed renditions of a basic style. if they USED the exact same denim as levis they would STILL have to cost more for the custom washes, wears, extra stiches and cuts.

For real! I'm very suprised by the fit, quality and style of H&M jeans. Just plain, low key jeans for a really cheap price.

it's a bit hipster but some guys mix in streetwear. i buy all sorts of gear from suits to old navy (stylin' disposable gear for housework); for all occasions. key for me is versatility and long lasting. "fashions fade. style is eternal," ysl. go find your style bruh.
