Spring is here now, so that pretty much ends my winter style which saddens me.

same i dunno wtf to do for summer

will probably get some tanktops and roll my sleeves up and call it a day
I agree, I like layers, I like wearing multiple shirts and different coats, spring and summer its all shorts tees and polo's, unless you want to bake. So I would be open to suggestions for some good clothes for summer.
I wore beaters all last summers hahaha.

But this year I may end up just wearing plain old t-shirts and switch around with like sleeveless hoodies.
Sleeveless hoodies huh? That's an interesting one right there, I like that. I usually wear polo's but most of them have stupid color combinations T_T But tees and sleeveless hoodies don't sound too bad.

Also quite funny that you say that Annie, and yet you read Magazines which shove trends down peoples throats, am i seeing the irony here? I've been keen on the Vintage look for quite some time but never really went out to find Stores until i stumbled across a really awesome store during another random walk in the City.

As i said before, Fashion should be your own choice... what makes you happy in the end. Sure, people are allowed to voice their opinions on a persons style ( This is a forum isnt it? ), but if this is going to turn into some Know it all thread then im out.

Vogue and Harper's Bazaar (and other similar magazines like Numero, i-D, etc.) don't really shove trends down people's throats. It's more about presenting the concepts that are coming down the runways, and discussing how to integrate them into your own wardrobe. It's publications like InStyle and Cosmo that do the trend-shoving.
What I'm trying to do with this thread is try to help people better understand things like shape, colour, silhouette, and texture in the context of fashion and how they dress themselves. Once visual comprehension of those concepts is established, it's much easier to shop because you won't just be randomly grabbing at things you think are cool. You'll understand what really works for yourself, your body type, and your personality, as well as (with luck!) develop a better eye for quality and construction.
Now, let me ask you this: What does this "Vintage" style your describing look like? What sort of concept are you going for? Considering the breadth of time the term vintage covers it really could mean any number of things, and I'm quite curious about ho you define it for yourself.

I've been wearing shorts for the majority of winter. Not sure how I'm gonna get more summery than that. Pinching_eyes_2
I'm thinking I'm gonna be buying a lot of dresses though. Grin

don't underestimate the power of fashion. start treating GQ like your bible, and you will be the definition of cool. especially with your looks and frame, dude

Why no self-respecting human should wear Ed-Hardy.

Listen, if you actually need someone to tell you NOT to wear Ed-Hardy then you clearly have no fashion sense whatsoever and are so hopelessly lost that no one will ever be able to save you from the depths of hideous clothing.
Ahaha, that made my day. XD

Who's the little kid? I've seen him loads of places before but my mind has blanked. Pinching_eyes_2
