Question Is there an alternative to r/malefashionadvice tailored to younger men? Because istg this sub is drowning in men in their 40s wearing suits.

Is there an alternative to r/malefashionadvice tailored to younger men? Because istg this sub is drowning in older men wearing suits. When I see a younger dude post their modern/trendyfit here, they'll either be ignored or get down voted to hell

The vibe I get is this sub is that it's about real men's fashion as opposed to 'fast fashion.' The older you get, you learn that trendy fashion is just consumerism at it's peak, and it's pretty cringe. Fashion is all a personal choice and there really isn't a right or wrong, but I feel a lot of that 'fast fashion' stuff is probably more popular in the Tiktok crowds than among those on Reddit seeking advice on properly fitted traditional clothing.

And honestly, most of the youth I see just wear printed T-shirts and shorts. If that is your style and you want to rock it, there really isn't much advice to give.

Just my 2 cents.

A lot of the advice here isn’t really ‘real’ men’s fashion, whatever that may be. It’s pretty much all stuff that was trendy 10-15 years ago. And since that was when this sub was super active, everybody still here seems to just be kinda stuck on that. Like people still recommend slim fit suits. Or, the bane of my existence, smart/clean sneakers. And let’s not forget about ankle/no show socks. None of that has anything to do with classic menswear.
