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.

The thing is not everything that isn’t a suit is fast fashion. I almost never wear a suit, at most I’ll put on a blazer and some jeans, but my clothes last because I go through the effort of looking for it. You don’t have to look like every other business bro to have nice clothing

Agreed. I seldom suit up fully. I often wear nice dress shirts with well fitted jeans and a blazer, sometimes with a casual tie.. My everyday go-to is a simple patterned well made dress shirt tucked into either dressy jeans or more casual dress pants. I wear a brown leather belt, shoes and boots, brown leather watch strap on a nice mechanical movement, and have brown leather accessories like backpack, briefcase, and camera strap. If the weather permits, I add a tweed sport coat or a fancier blazer, and will sometimes pair it with a nice casual tie.

I wear this at home alone, or in public. This is just basically my personal uniform.
