Rayban 2140 or 2132?

Black or Tortoise shell?

I really cannot decide! ARGH!


2140 have a 50mm lens I beleive, and i'd go for black.

The WayFarers have really kicked off this summer, I have had a pair for a long time! They do look really decent on the right people (Wiz khalifa :biggrin: )

They have the sloped backed lens though which feels weird on my face.

And I think i'll play it safe with black too :smile:

Do you guys know any good celebrities to get inspiration from?

Just signed up to Tumblr so they would be good as well.

Good brands for boat shoes? Apart from the obvious Sperry and Sebago


I'll second Chatham, and they're relatively cheap if you look in the right places.

Had 2140 in tortoiseshell polarised and they were unreal. Unfortunately lost them after about 3 years so need a replacement.

Need a really nice fitted polo or two.

Was thinking all saints but they're not exactly cheap or necessarily very good quality? I hear, that is.

Any recommendations?

What other items should I buy? I need new clothes for sixth form. I basically just wore brogues, blue chinos and this pull and bear trench for like the whole year lol.

1. If you want something to fit well, go and try it on. You'll be surprised what you can find in stores like H&M and you'll be surprised how bad a fit from AllSaints can be.

2. If you want to look good, find your own way. Don't seek recommendations about what are "must haves" because we're all different people with different ideas of what looks good on our own bodies. Use your instincts, listen to what other people have to say, but don't take it as gospel and don't just fall into the trends.

3. Don't hotlink from 4chan. For one thing, they don't like it, and the image won't show up properly. Perhaps more significantly, the images get deleted as threads reach the end of their lifespan and the hotlink will be pointless. Use something like imgur to host the image somewhere else.

4. Why ask here if you're browsing 4chan's fashion board? Lurking requires patience but you'll get the information you need. /fa/ is slow but there are a bunch of fashion websites you can watch in the meantime. And as long as you create a thread thoughtfully, anons can be quite helpful.

Fred Perry is probably one of the most classic polo shirts you could possibly get. Lyle and Scott is also a more "modern" take on it, seems as it has come into popularity more recently!

Going on holiday in august for 10 nights, its a beach resort and theres a long trousers policy in the evenings

planning on taking 22 top half items so a mix between shirts and tshirts

would this seem a little excessive ?

this sweatshirt is actually quite a thin material so i figured would be nice for summer nights though im aware its poss a bit too casual and overpriced for what it is.

nice polo but doesnt have a great fit really, so prob gonna return it.

Navy Blue or Khaki would go well. Light pink should be good too.

Yeah they're decent quality for the price but they've been hijacked by chavs and the market has been ruined by fakes. Paul & Shark or MA.Strum are my favourite polo brands at the moment personally. :smile:

Lacoste polos are awesome in this weather as well because they're so light and airy feeling, but again they've kinda become popular amongst some horribly unfashionable people.
