Is it possible to dress like this IRL without looking cringe?
>>217984734Not since Columbine.
>>217984734I have pants like this at work and goofy 'tactical' safety shoes, and if i go shopping after taking off my bright work shirt, with just a black t shirt, several people always startle and stare at me which i eventually realized is because it looks like im about to do some robbery or mass shooting. So no, you will look cringe and be obnoxious
>>217984734Larry looks pretty cool, but IRL he'd come off more as a pimp than anything else. Hot chick in vinyl works. Keanu could pull his look off, but he'd have to lose the extra belts that are holding his holster on. The short, ugly bald man will always be short and ugly no matter where he goes or how he dresses.
What do you think they would get up to on Valentine's Day?
If you are a Hot women. You can wear anything.If you are a guy. >>217984794
No, of course not.
If you're an oldcel you can, nobody gives seniors shit for larp fashion
A million chicks pulled it off in the early ‘00s.
>>217984734i wanted a trenchcoat so badwhen i finally got one it was grey suede. i wore it once, felt foolish. never again.knew a fat guy who wore a duster unironically.the only way you can get away with this today is a car coat, which is only acceptable in cold climates or the beltway.
>>217984794That happened before The Matrix came out, didn't it?
>>217984952>knew a fat guy who wore a duster unironically.You knew Harvey Bullock?
>>217984794It's funny because my cousin was Neo for Halloween right after Matrix and Columbine happened so everyone thought he was dressed as a school shooter.
You can do anything if you're sufficiently attractive.
>>217984734You'll get pre-emptively shot and deserve it.
>>217984973The Matrix trailer was released a month before the shooting.
>>217984734It's possible but not for (You). Dress sensibly.
>>217985049So they shot up a school because of a movie trailer? Not even the movie itself?
>>217985056Marilyn Manson told them to do it.
>>217985056The trailer showed off the digs and they just aped it because they thought it looked cool.
>>217984973>>217985049Edgy trenchcoat cyber fashion existed before Matrix
>>217984734Only in areas where it rains frequently, and only if you're tall, and the coat is beige, brown, or dark green, and matches the rest of your outfit.Men's fashion is mostly utilitarian, and if you're wearing something outside its intended use (think sunglasses inside, and/or at night), then odds are you look like a cringe tryhard.
>>217985076I heard Marilyn Manson didn't tell them anything. He listened, and that's what no one did.
>>217985049the movie was already out and they definitely saw it>Matrix: March 31, 1999>Columbine: April 20, 1999
>>217984734Kind of, maybe. Yeah.
>>217985181For some reason I always think Columbine was in 1998.
>>217985192I get what >>217984794 means, that guy kinda looks like a school shooter.
>>217984734If you're good looking enough you can wear anything. You probably aren't.
>>217984794Weirdo closet case rich kikes on drugs ruined it for everyone.
>>217985332Name one good looking person who got away with wearing anything
>he's never seen Grandma's Boy
>>217985192I wonder what interests him now, at 40 years of age
>>217984734Be 6'1+ and fit and walk around with a green light always shining on you and MAYBE you can pull it off
>>217985369He's still into techno apparently
>>217984973No, The Matrix came out a few weeks before the Columbine shooting and so they tried to blame the way it glamourised gun violence with the lobby scene inspiring the boys but it seems like Doom and Marilyn Manson took most of the blame.
>>217985451Why is his name the way it is
>>217985463it's a finnish thing
>>217985453Ah yeah that Marilyn Manson song where he talks about dressing like Neo and shooting people at school.
>>217984734Yes, you just have to be well groomed and look good already. The reason people looked stupid was because most of them were fat neckbeards throwing on a jacket with a fedora and pokemon shirt underneath
As long as you've got good proportions and aren't ugly, you can wear anything you want. Just don't be a fatty, don't be a skinny dweeb, don't be a lanklet, and don't be a manlet. Easy.
>>217984734No, but I've seen guys dress like the cover art of dark tower and they did it well.>>217985192>wears his little brothers pants
>>217985354Jamiroquai?
>>217985514People were so scared of Marilyn Manson, because he wore scary makeup.He's like the most non-threatening gentle theater kid, IRL.
>>217985649Not good looking enough to excuse those hats.
>>217984734ah sweaty, chad doesn't have any concern for weaklings girlish reactions.
>>217984734It is if you're attractive, if you're ugly or fat you just look retarded.
>>217985667Didn't he also rape people?
>>217987220yeah, like the other anon said, theater kid
>>217987351Theater kids get raped.
>>217984734sure. I do it all the time.
>>217984734Yes. I see a lot of black coats in church.
>>217987364yeah, by each other
>>217984734No but you can still do it anyway and not gaf and become based cringe like webmrel
>>217985369That was an edit but I believe he was an actual dj and enjoyed the meme and techno.
>>217984734I’m basically a White Morpheus (with a smoother complexion and no tooth gap), so I lean into it. Always play to your strengths.
>>217987463Fucking awesome.
What kind of coat do you guys wear when you have to suit up for something and it's cold outside? You dont walk around in just the suit, right?
>>217987463That must be an odd feeling when the red-haired nigger with the flipflops and paper crown looks at you as if you are the weird one.
>>217987519This. I dont wear it regularly though. Only with blazer or suit
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gCyrKJg-1VM
>>217984734Yeah just go to gay clubs
>>217984734No. It always looks like an autist trying way way way too hard. The sort of douchebags for whom “tactical” is an effective marketing term.
someone did when matrix 2 released, at my schooleveryone made fun of him
>>217984734Yeah babe gimme a minute i gotta lube myself into my latex pants
>>217985192We call this look “Harry Potter hopelessly tries to impress the Goth chick”
>>217985667>People were so scared of Marilyn Manson, because he wore scary makeup.lol zoomer STFU please… merlyn, his dad and twiggy ramirez were absolutely notorious perverts in the ‘90s. was well known they abused the shit out of an autistic fangirl. decades before any metoo stuff.
>>217985451And he apparently still dresses like a retard
>>217987549Sneak preak hehehehehe
>>217985316All fins look like that
>>217985546You can take elements of the look and make it work, but those outfits verbatim would look fucking ridiculous on anyone in real life
>>217985667The multitude of people he raped would disagree
>>217985359fuck i love this movie so much >how much do clothes cost in the matrix?i think about this line often
>>217987519Doesn't everyone just wear a dark trenchcoat?
>>217987463>>217987488Looks more like video game cosplay than dapper
>>217984734I don't think it was ever not goofy. It only works in the highly stylized world of The Matrix
>>217985514they should have listened to the lyrics, which is what no one else did.
>>217987519Pea coat
>>217984734You can pull it off in Goth clubs in Europe, maybe also Tokyo. Everywhere else it's cringe.
>>217987621I don't think that's how the word verbatim works.
>>217987640lots of different coats to choose from. the one you posted is babby's first coat
>>217987653It worked in the first one. The fashion got increasingly ridiculous with each sequel.
>>217987668Fair“Those exact outfits”
>>217987653>the highly stylized world of The MatrixLate 90s America?
>>217984734Yes but you have to be good at beatboxing
>>217987697you wrecked that anon
>>217984734If you live in Berlin and are 6 foot 3, then yes.
>>2179847341999: OMF SOOOO COOL!2026: LOL SO FUCKING GAY!
>>217984872A lot concorditantly vis a vi-ing.
>>217987824I kinda hate that the Architect gets mocked for talking like that because when I watched the movie I thought the way he speaks sounded badass.
>>217984734Yes. Especially because of columbine.
Protip: it's all in the shoes
Chads can wear anything and still look cool
>>217984734sure it is, loads of people dress like this every year for the pride parade and even go to see this exact movie in theaters after the parade because they rerelease it for pride month
>>217987519I wear suits every day to work and will wear a coat in the winter or an overcoat if it's really cold. You should wear a raincoat or a trench in spring or autumn>>217987640That's not a trenchcoat retard.
>>217984734Yes, you can do anything you want, you got one life don't let others control you. The way they are dressed isn't particularly outrageous.Fit of the clothes is the most important thing. Committing to the look helps, as you get more comfortable with it the clothes start to look better, you make adjustments over time to your look and health and wardrobe and it all starts to look even better on you. Also being around other people that dress this way helps majorly, again you start to pick up knowledge and attitude that helps you to "walk the walk". Easier to pull this off in major cities but even if you don't live in one still do it, plenty of alternatively dressed people live in the middle of bumfuck nowhere.
>>217987659
>>217987480>I’m basically a White Morpheus (with a smoother complexion and no tooth gap)So you look like Cypher?
>>217987463I hate these videos, they are cosplaying the characters, not actually wearing the clothes. The clothes are typical male formal wear it's not anything weird. These dudes just don't look comfortable because it's a costume not clothes for them. Remove the hat and gloves and no one gives a damn.
>>217988350But my hands and head are cold
Me and the lads.
>>217984734Yes
>>217988424Doesn't the fact they all stare at him kinda ruin it when in the movie he could just walk calmly through the crowds and nobody would give him a second glance.
>>217985192That jacket is too big, he wishes he had those shoulders though.
>>217988455he's trying to look cool, not hide in plain sight
>>217988350This. The hat, gloves and the weird trinkets on his suit is what makes it cringy. Without those he might as well be some middle manager office wagie working at a bank
Fashion is retarded, people spend 90% of their time in pajamas anyway so why would you spend a bunch of time getting jazzed up to go out and do errands for an hour or two? Just wear something comfy.
>>217988350>>217988488>discomfort You can see it pretty easily when he's near the fountain, the guy doesn't know how to carry himself so he's just lumbering around like a doofus.But what makes it cringey is that he's a Sudaca stalking around a mall.
>>217988502I've learned to appreciate shopping. You have to force yourself to slow down a bit and reconcile yourself with the fact that this is how you're going to spend your afternoon. Then it's ok.
>>217988530Most online clothing stores offer free returns, so I just order a bunch of shit I think looks good and try it on at home. I send back 90% of it that isn't perfect, and I order another 10 of whatever I kept so I dont have to think about buying that type of clothing again for at least another 5 years. Same goes for shoes.Sitting online and nitpicking gets tiresome real quick. Just order a bunch and send it back
>>217984883>>217984734>>217984993It's obvious that theatrical mass shootings/murder follow pop media trends. The Columbine shooters dressed like commandos playing Doom, their obvious influence. Now, post The Dark Knight, we have guys in dresses going on murder sprees. Guys driving trucks into parades a la GTA.When politicians like Lieberman & Gore used to try to pass morality laws against video games in the 90s, saying they made kids violent, I used to scoff. Now, I'm not so sure.
>>217985359please sit on my face
>>217988781>Now, I'm not so sureA lot of countries militaries uses videogames to desensitize soldiers to taking a human life so that they dont sperg out or freeze up when they're out in the field. If it works on them then of course it works on everybody else too
>>217984734No.A) it's tailoredB) he's buff
When are fedoras becoming cool again? It has been cringy for far too long
>>217984734How much do you weight?
>>217987968we should've beaten you to death when there was still time
>>217988781every male kid in the developed world has played a violent computer game of some kind at least once in their life, but when you look at shootings how many of them are due to no ideology but wanton violence?the violence we see these days comes from something like politics and gang stuff
>>217988945"You" never would have done anything, pussy
>>217984734Cringe is half in the eye of the beholder, and half due to the fit. The actual fit, not if its stylish. Someone might see you in a trench coat and think you look like a dork regardless. The thing that makes it 100% cringe though is when clothing doesn't fit. It needs to be tailored. You buy something off the rack and its not going to look 100% good on you because everyone is different. Its going to be a little too big here, a little too tight there. It will end up looking like shit. But if you get things tailored specifically to your body you can make anything look good. Even some late 90s/early 00s 2edgy4u gear. Also the last ingredient is confidence. If you're walking around in that stuff and you look nervous people will notice. If its just another day to you people will think that's your everyday wear
>>217988424this makes me realize how iconic matrix outfits were
>>217985056no dummythe government raised them since birth to do the shootingthe school mascot has a fucking gun
>>217984872she femdoms him
>>217984734>>217984872Between Matrix and John Wick, how much shooting-based violence do you think this guy's responsible for?
>>217989105literally none. That's not why people shoot each other.
>>217989105>>217989130I think people are more likely to shoot each other after having watched Johnny Mnemonic, mainly due to anger at having had to watch Johnny Mnemonic.
>>217988986Also don't wear it if you are going to buy a gallon of milk at the supermarket or something. Not even Neo would look good waiting in queue at the checkstand.
>>217989178
>>217985192chicks will unironically go nuts over this fit if you're hot
>>217984734No
>>217989271Looks like Crispin has healthy bowel movement.
>>217989178Sure he would. Everyone else would just feel like they looked like shit in comparison
>>217987697The 90s were a simulated tinted green with a metallic wasteland real world perpetually in night?
>>217989328I sure just did not. Not yesterday either. I don't know what it could be, all I really had was some spaghetti. I've had spaghetti before with no problems but these last two times it was baked instead of boiled. Could that be something that causes diarrhea?
>>217987697go home zoomer

>>217985649Jamiroquai is a band
>>217984734It was before The Matrix. It's not like they invented this style just for the film. It just became so iconic that it became like a Superman costume. Probably enough time has past that it could come back into fashion again.

>>217991489>Jaden SmithThat guy is not attractive in any sense of the word and has been a lolcow due to his retarded costumes (and the words coming out of his mouth) ever since he started appearing in public
>>217991489>Prince wore heelsNot for style though. It was because he needed them to reach doorknobs.
>>217984734You'll probably look like Styxhexenhammer or some other cringelord no matter how good looking you are.99.9% chance that anyone asking this question could absolutely not pull the look off.

>>217992249That's ridiculous. I thought he was supposed to be a stylish dresser. No wonder he has a hard time catching a cab.
>>217984734So long as you're not fat and ugly you can literally wear anything you want and people will either not care at all or they'll actually like that you're dressing in an unusual way.

>>217991489How many ever tried casually pulling off the trench coat, sunglasses, and combat boots look though
>>217987523In Brazil you can go outside like this and people not only will find it perfectly normal but also hot. But if you put a black coat you are weird

>>217988424to make this funnier he should try and sneak into the front row of crowds in public events until he becomes a national meme
>>217995620Used to be a guy in my college who would dress like that, he was built like a short techno viking. In summer he did LARP re-enactments of medieval shit so he'd walk around in a faux-fur cloak with just leather stuff underneath and tell people about the coat of mail he'd been forging for the last three years, people who liked him called him Gimli because he was a funny looking bearded short strongman. I never talked to him even once but he was well-known on campus.

Yes and no.You can’t dress in dark clothes with a long coat if you’re fat or ugly. You just look weird and like a loser. You also can’t wear a graphic t shirt underneath it because then you also look weird and like a shirt rent Eric and Dylan. It also depends on the setting.I have a collection of leather jackets and coats that would make Shaft blush. I usually wear an old button up, brown jacket that’s 30 years old. My favorite coat is a 20 year old coat that’s a very distressed and faded brown - fits me like a glove and looks very similar to pic rel. I do have a leather trench coat and a black fabric one, but I never wear them casually. They exclusively are worn during very cold or inclement weather and the fabric trench coat will usually get worn with a suit. Why? Because it’s all about how you style it and your setting. It also helps that I’m tall and not a fat uggo.

>>218002853How fortunate that I am 6’1 and therefor able to dress like that.I know a guy who’s a captain in the army and he loves wearing trench coats, but has no idea how to style them. He’s a 5’7 hapa male who’s kinda chubby and wears all black, even the jeans, with these trench coats. Looks like an utter joke.
>>217984734I dress like this and look cool
>>218003063amen brother. just choose a look and own it. confidence sells any look

>>217984734My buddy in high school was dressing f kinda like that before the matrix came out. Of course he went 1000% after the movie. He was an interesting guy, him and his super cute petite goth gf were "vampires" for a while. He ended up moving to Los Vegas and worked making custom rides and machinery/props for rich burning man attendeesOne of the nicest guys I've ever known
>>218003487>>>218003018 (You)>>still posting the wrong person>man pol is embarrassingDon't blame me. Blame the news media for getting their facts wrong. I generally believe that their fact checking is better than /pol/'s.

>>218004458Dude that sounds so similar to the guy I was talking about. He did the fire shit. He also played the didgeridoo, all sorts of random eccentric shit. We grew up in a rural farming community too and he'd be wandering around in his pleather trench coat and boots with a 5 inch stack. I was always happy he made it to Vegas to do random eccentric shit like he'd always gravitated to
>>217984734yes, if you get your clothes tailored to fitotherwise no chance in hell, you fucking dork
>>217984734isn't this just pride parade attire?
>>217984734this is how berliners dress unironically
>>217987986>>218004769Prove to me that people actually wear this at pride parades
>>218004594...was this anywhere near coffs harbor
>>218004809Nah, Oregon coast. Tillamook (like the cheese)
>>217984734My partner dressed like Morpheus last Pride March and everyone gave her hella compliments.
You need to be tall and broad to pull off a trenchcoat, moreso than most other outfits. If you are, you can do it. Normalfags don't actually point out if you look stupid because they have no sense of style.t. black trenchcoat wearing autist
>>218004851oh then what the fuck was he doing with a didgeridoo if he wasnt in australia lmao
>>217988326If Cypher were 6’2”, 220, and in pretty damned good shape.
>>218004528I can’t imagine living somewhere you don’t get to experience the cold. I love the cold.
>>218004932Ok, but what do you wear WITH your trench coat? That’s as essential to the style as being tall.
>>217984734The secret is to be 30+ years old because nobody really gives a shit. I recently started wearing those 1940s style pants tailored with a 15 inch rise that goes up to my belly button. Nobody gives a shit.
>>217984734The real answer is that it depends on how good looking you are and the look you're trying to pull off. If you're some young alt kid or a middle aged man then nobody will question a leather trenchcoat. Putting it together like your picrel would obviously be autistic.
>>218005509I'm gonna start dressing like the guy from Babylon Berlin
>>217984920Yes but the rest of the fit matters too. She has wide proportioned clothing over a small tight fitting undershirt. It's a classic late 90s/Y2K silhouette. Anon wants to know if he can pull it off with some slim fit blue jeans and dad shoes.
>>217987519Wool cardigan or peacoat. Trenchcoat + suit only works if you're fat or really tall.
>>218005359Just a normal t-shirt and blue jeans
>>218005792You wear a wool cardigan over your suit? Are you a farmer?
Thread has been up for 24 hours and not one mention of Basketball Diaries. This movie is what actually inspired them to wear trench coats and shoot up their school.
>>218005509>I recently started wearing those 1940s style pants tailored with a 15 inch rise that goes up to my belly button. >Nobody gives a shit.i can picture it. PLEASE post a photo, for the love of god. hide your face of course. but lmao
>>218005889That's an unfounded rumour. They were inspired by a group of people a year ahead of them called the Trenchcoat Mafia who wore trenchcoats to school.
>>217984734Do you have aura?Protip the platform goth boots are essential part of the basass trenchcoat look
>>218005891Not me but same brand of trousers. Do zoomies really think these look bad? You faggots literally wear those clownishly large denim pants from the 2000s. Nobody wore that shit except fat kids with anger issues.
>>218006047It was always funny to me that Eric and Dylan didn’t actually wear trench coats. They wore dusters, which are a completely different long coat - despite what Always Sunny would have you believe.
>>218006047Were they an actual mafia or just people who wore trenchcoats?
If you were forced to choose between wearing a leather trenchcoat or a fedora for an entire year, which would it be?
>>218006734It's hot here so I'm gonna go with fedora to block the sun. A trenchcoat would be hell in the summer. And that means I'm still free to wear the trenchcoat whenever I feel like it.
>>218006734trenchcoat. its a pillow, a sleeping bag, a napkin when your eating stuff like ribs, a towel after you shower. its so useful so many times.
>>218006758Gonna second this, plus if its a light color or straw with a wide brim you can rock that with any summertime look and still be hip
>>218007243>and still be hipmhm
>>218005359combat boots, shades and all black cargo pants/long shirt, i like rainproof synthetic stuff to go under because it rains all the time here and you're pretty much waterproof with a leather trenchcoat over them
>>218007368It's hip to be square
>>218007647Wouldn't the rain ruin the leather though?
>>218007767good leather is almost waterproof, it's really hard to get it wet even in soaking weather, the only time i've managed to get any of it even slightly wet is having been in a storm drain for 8 hours but even that wasn't that bad, just run that shit over with polish afterwards and it's good as new
>>217999279The 'saw-something-shocking'
>>217984872Carrie-Anne Moss is a perfect example of someone who's not classically beautiful but is sexy af in the right role.
>>217992822I'm really trying to come up with something but all films were released before Blade.
>>217984734not the trenchcoat. but the outfit he wears during the subway fight is basically my daily uniform.
>>218002093>>218002107>>218002136Those pictures perfectly capture how autistic it is to dress like a matrix character unironically.
>>218008347The last one is actually just an average Sisters of Mercy fan
>>218007647See, I can’t do the black tactical pants. It screams “active shooter” too much.I balance it out and casualize the trench coat by sticking to single breast and pairing it with blue jeans, black timberland boots, a basic black t, and something light weight and lighter colored between the shirt and coat - usually a thin hoodie or flannel shirt.
>>218007767What the other guy said. A top quality leather jacket will be very water resistant. My Vanson jackets just have water run right off. That said, sure, it could damage the leather with heavy and prolonged exposure. But if it’s pissing out, there’s no need to be afraid if you’re walking from your car to the grocery store.
>>217984734I dress like that even though faggots see it as cringe. Cassocks are the best coats. Fuck haters.
>>217984920Those girls are fuck ugly.
>>217989271Crispin Glover in public.That is crazy.
>>217987463Swagger
>>217989492Did you enjoy making that movie about the rats? I liked it, Mr. Glover Sir.
>>217984845>The short, ugly bald man will always be short and ugly no matter where he goes or how he dresses.But he's one of my besht earners
>>218008742>blue jeans, black timberland boots, a basic black tyou are fucking yourself up like crazy with like this, you're wearing a black leather trenchcoat, in the eyes of normalfags who care (very few), you're already screaming active shooter, you can't make "unconventional" styles of dress work if you go halfway and have the rest of your outfit still be normalfag shit
>>218009264I assure you, I’m not fucking myself up lmfao. You’re a retard if you think me styling my outfit appropriately is “normalfag” shit.
>>218009505>blue jeans and flannelas normalfag as is possible
>>217984734Fashion is only cool in it's timeframe, and gay and lame before and after that.
>>217987519Where the hell do they even sell male overcoats? I see woman's overcoats on sale all the time but none for men. Do I have to get a tailor?
>>218008347What? He looks cool as hell
>>218009792All the biggest online clothing retailers have like a hundred different options. Zalando in Europe. Probably amazon in burgerland
>>217984734You've gotta be more Morpheus than Neo. That means leaving the combat gear at home, because even in the movie Neo only wears that when he's going into battle. Otherwise they're just wearing suits. Dress in a sleek suit, make your coat wool instead of leather, and for fucks sake leave your flatcap at home so you don't look like a Peaky Blinders fag.
>>218009685Yeah, because it styles well? There’s literally a pic of my typical winter wear in this thread.
in the 90's yes, not no, unless you are at Comicon or something
>>218010217>leave your flatcap at homeThat's not happening
Detective trench OK. Cybergoth/Industrial is OK. Everything else is cringe.
>>218010684Could I pull off being a turtle IRL though
>>218010901Only if you live in the sewer
>>218008347well the whole film is about refusing to conform, isn’t it
>>218012620Yeah, like some sort of allegory for something, I think.
>>217992822Wild Wild West (1999)
>>218010217And you need your flip out, non-smart cellphone
