Is it possible for people to look stylish wearing fandom merch?

(Anonymous) 2018-02-13 12:15 am (UTC)(link)
no subtle stuff like disney bounding or whatever

Sure. Keeping it to one item (a tee or sweatshirt, shoes, a backpack, etc) helps.

What's your definition of stylish? I mean, most of my merch is just plain t-shirts, so jeans and t's isn't really 'stylish' to me anyway, just casual.

Yeah, I think so.

Unrelated, but I saw a woman with a leg full of Disney tattoos, from Frog Tiana, to the Poison Apple, and Genie's Lamp. It was really cool.

I have a co-worker who has just the right build, looks, and attitude to rock kawaii in a professional context, so yes, it can be done.

I'm not even sure I can imagine this working. Do you have a picture of something similar?

No.

This sounds awesome! Can you explain?

if you're expressing what I think you are, it's akin to when I wear pirate inspired outfits to work and rock it all day long. And a Buffy/Blade thing I do every now and then.

Depends on what the item is and how well it fits with the rest of the outfit? T-shirts or goofy OTT character hats/scarves/socks aren't really "stylish" but something more subtle like an N7 jacket or a patch/pin/keychain/wallet can look totally fine.

I think the key to it is buying good quality merch, coordinating everything else well, and making some effort to conceal your power level. If you're rolling around town in a full pikachu gijinka costume you'll get weird looks. A sharp dressed dude who pulls out this as his wallet is just going to get compliments on his sweet wallet.

Ooh, nice.

I don't care how sharply dressed you are, I would still not find that wallet stylish. Speaking only personally.

To be honest though, I also associate the phrase "sharp dressed" with people who are flagrantly overdoing it in the first place, so maybe I'm just not the target demographic.

The wallet itself isn't stylish, but it's not going to take away from the rest of a nice outfit. Like if this dude...

pulls out a Playstation wallet no one's going to be like "lol wat a nerd hurhur he looks dumb." He's just an attractive nicely dressed dude with a quirky accessory.

Sure, as long as it's restrained and reasonable.

Does it fit well? The majority of looking good in clothing is about whether it fits you properly.

And it depends on context, an understated black t-shirt with a logo and jeans works is good for a bar event, especially if you have the body to rock it.

What do you mean by stylish?

Stuff like this? Sure, why not?

Though I will say, it's easier to find logos that can pass for "random artwork" with video games than with animanga.

Hell yes! My little Star Wars flight suit backpack is hella stylish.

Depends, but yes?

A fannish baseball cap looks as stylish as a normal baseball cap, so it depends on whether you think baseball caps are stylish.

A fannish T-shirt looks as stylish as a plain T-shirt in that cut and color. If the fit of the shirt and the main colors flatter you, then I'd say it would be a T-shirt that is stylish, to the extent a T-shirt would be considered stylish in whatever context applies.

There's a lot of fannish jewelry out there that is lovely.

I can see some more extreme stuff being pulled off by someone doing a very hipster look, but whether that's stylish is a matter of taste.

For some definition of stylish and if the merch is relatively subtle, sure. It also helps if you're physically attractive, because people who are physically attractive have a lot more leeway when it comes to fashion. Or "fashion", as the case may be.

Sure. Especially if they’re super attractive. That’s why my TV presenter friend can get away with Slovenly Chic while I look like a slob when we wear sweats in public.
