A female fashion expert has been sharing her sage insights into the “painful” fashion failings most likely to condemn any man to perpetual bachelorhood, and as is the way with such things, otaku fashion comes in for the obligatory drubbing.
The list, apparently written from the perspective of a desperate 30-something spinster prepared to marry a man on the basis of the quality of his suit:
1. Men who wear clothes which don’t fit their frame
“They don’t even try them on, they just decide they are an M or L and buy some clothes. And it’s bad to just plump for LL just because someone says you are fat.”2. He is too concerned about looking cool and ends up wearing clothes which don’t suit him
“He has an image of guys he thinks are popular, so he just puts on all the stuff he sees in shops and magazines!”3. He dresses in classic otaku style
“A rucksack and a pouch round his waist may be an unavoidable manifestation of his true self, but at least try to make a reasonable first impression. For marriage interviews or parties, proper attire is especially essential.”4. His entire ensemble is Uniqlo
Uniqlo may be decent enough quality, and even trendy in some cases, but dressing head to foot in Uniqlo is no good at all.
The colossal opprobrium attached to rucksacks is of course nothing new and now seems to be part of the classic otaku stereotype.
However, it probably goes without saying that wearing a pink Precure T-shirt is the ultimate faux pas even for otaku, not that such cases are in much danger of meeting anyone in the first place.
Online there is a certain amount of predictable resentment from what is presumably the “fat wannabe Uniqlo otaku” demographic, who certainly seem defensive of their Uniqlo ensembles…

So in the eyes of this "fashion expert", you're not cool if you don't dress cool. If you try wearing cool clothes, then you're not cool.
That's REALLY informative >_>
so basically, these 4 points of fashion can be summed up as this: don't be ugly and have lots of money.
There is no male so ugly that no matter how much money he will never be atractive for women.
Reminds me of the cripple dude in Shallow Hal, where the gold digging skank suddenly became 'available' after he made his millions.
/women are all whores
technically, wouldn't we throw the same things at women?
or do you guys like the poor fuglies?
In Japan, money is all that matters to women.
If you're ugly, they'll just divorce you and take half of your shit.
To all the weeaboos out there: Japan is great. Just don't get yourself involved with women there.
Cause you'll get arrested for even breathing the same air as them.
Some of the shit Japanese females wear is downright laugh out loud..
Hard to take this seriously..
bitches & whores
I don't see the conflict.
Advice 2 is "avoid tunnel vision trying too hard to look cool, don't forget to find stuff that fits you well too". That's probably like don't try to look like a gangsta or a guido if you are not one.
Advice 3 is " don't wear weird stuff like otaku pouches". The old american equivalent would be the nerdy pens on the front pocket, today would be the childish ironic t shirts.
Advice 4 is " don't go out wearing only Uniqlo stuff". Probably applies to any brand, don't look like you only shop at one place.
I have my doubts that guys, in general, would bother shopping for clothes in more than one place. The cool and the uncool alike.
This argument is invalid. It's only theoritical.
The truely cool people dont give a shit about brand.
Hell, I don't even know where half my clothes came from cos its all second hand lol.
But I get bonus defence for wearing the same brand...
I always buy my clothes online in 1 shop... they have ALL dumb brands and its comfortable to not have to go in some stores in the city.
So, i dont understand why people would wear just 1 brand..
I'm the same way. I probably at most shop at 3 different stores because for me, my style and the stores I shop at pretty much look the same to me. But No.4 isn't really that bad. If you are decent-looking guy in your getup, she'd be willing to change where you shop anyway.
Cool people know not to wear a single brand. My sister tries to hammer that lesson in every time I dress up to leave the house
TxT
I think the US equivalent to #3 would be "don't wear fanny packs".
I really have to agree with #2 though, it just looks stupid, gross in some cases, to wear cloths that aren't obviously not the right size for you. Though I suspect that one was posed as even the slightest wrong size given how ridiculously picky women can be.
It's the usual fashion hypocrisy.
"Hot" males can can wear large glasses and enjoy nerd culture openly, but if an average-to-ugly guy enjoys the same things, they are an outcast.
Fuck clothes. I walk out of the house naked and start jerking off at any pretty gal I see. Like a BAWS
that's because they happen to be ugly and just don't look good in it. That said, I find people who dress like 'geeks' to be supremely pretentious.
You can still be not good looking and have a fashion sense, though.
meh women.. thats why i rather just be single.
You can dress well without trying to imitate movie stars and anime characters. That's the gist of t.
if i shave and put on glasses, i look like shiki tohno, is THAT cosplay?
Basically the rule is to:
1. be fit and attractive
2. don't be unfit and unattractive
Quite simple actually
Reminds me of this public service announcement:

Thanks! I loled!
What are women again?
What is a man? A miserable little pile of secrets. But enough talk… Have at you!
some people dont get castlevania reference dude
How is babby formed?
How gurl get pragnent?
Everyone knows women are made from sand!
Some people need to play more video games.
That line only works agains vampire slayer like Richter Belmont
the concept of fashion is a combination of everything wrong in this world. It's evil I tell ya
Of course, the rules of fashion change every few years, to whatever some fashion designer can convince some celebrity to wear. Next year, I predict otaku style clothes will be the 'in' thing in Japan. And rucksacks. Rucksacks everywhere.
Dress for comfort. The rest is pretentious bullshit.
Screw her.
I feel most comfortable being naked.
same, I enjoy having my balls breathe naturally and my cock flop in every direction.
Dress for comfort, and dress nicely, but not to the point of pretentiousness. It's actually quite simple to fit both categories at the same time.
wearing silk shirts and satin pants is like getting a handjob every time you sit down, lol.
exactly. For example when i go to the movies, some of the clothing i see girls wear just make me facepalm but if its comfortable for them then Meh, but they obviously worn the clothes cause "im going out so i have to dress to look good" instead of feeling comfortable sitting in a chair for 2hrs.
i love to sleep.. naked
when was the last time you interacted with another breathing person? Take a fucking shower.
lol, you mean, "unable to get a chance to screw her"
Dude, women can be rented. So why give a fuck what they think?
I make 20K $ a month, they have to dress up to impress *ME* !
:-)
Rucksacks are awesome, fuck these women.
These women obviously never have to carry things around. Rucksacks are the most convenient way of carrying stuff around. I carry one while shopping, and if the stuff fits in it, I dump it in leaving my hands free to buy more.
Women have handbags, ever heard of them? :P
and if a guy carry a handbag he's gay
women have men [to carry everything]. they know nothing more than the displeasure of lugging around 2-3pounds of shit.
as long as it was a satin bra ( faps )
15:59 never watch Seinfeld, huh?
youtube.com/watch?v=wfONNfAjyrc
@13:01 handbags are designed for women, of course it would look gay. Could a guy wear bra and doesn't look like gay?
Actually, you WON'T be fucking them, that is the point.
Pants have pockets.
Of course, when shopping at a convention, you need those things. :)
sucks racks
It's like they haven't gone to college. I use a rucksack with all the damn books and for my laptop.
What exactly is a rucksack? Nobody uses the word here in America...
Except for the people who do.
Step one: Imagine a backpack.
Step two: add an otaku.
AND you're done. Now you have a rucksack.
