See how that works?
In the end, dressing better is subjective really but there are still some guidelines that can help. Just because you buy a suit doesn't mean you are dressing better, it has to fit right, not SteveHarvey-like suits. Suits doesn't have to be expensive, just follow Nii's guide to buying good quality suits for cheap.
I honestly don't even know the recent talks of "glad to see inexpensive/good deals on clothes" in here, the thread has been partly about that, savings on clothes. Sure people post runway or lookbooks from designers that may not be affordable but those are just used as reference and not many here posts their expensive designer purchases. Most things that are posted are deals on clothes and shoes.
While 98% of the stuff in this thread makes me cringe, it's more about broadening horizons, deals etc, which is why I still check the thread.
Obviously dudes on SuFu are more steezed out, but they've been doing it a lot longer. Most of NT is still learning.
I don't know how you can say most of the clothes here make you cringe and think SuFu is so much better. At least it tends to be on the safer side here, somewhat a middle ground, while they are mostly on the extreme over there. Goth ninja and workwear dominate that place.
Not to mention that if your jeans aren't raw and have been washed in the past 6 months, you ain't doing it right over there. If you have a scarf that looks like and functions like a scarf, you ain't sylin over there.
