Marnie | Pokemon SwSh

[morpekos]

[ While Marnie has a stylish goth/punk vibe about her, it's not her fashion sense on display today. No... today gaze upon the wonder that is her Morpeko... and the cute little bow tie she's wearing. A true fashion diva. ]

[draigon]

Well, would you look at that? It's like the bow was made for her!

[Morpeko's already pretty cute (when not hangry), but with just a little touch, she's suddenly even cuter.]

Let's take a selfie to remember how it looks on her!

[Of course, Raihan, this giant of a man, has to bend his knees and squat a bit just to get Marnie in the shot, but he's still got an easy smile as he poses, one hand holding the phone out a ways and the other with a thumbs-up gesture.]

Flint "Sandman" Marko ⏳ Marvel 616

[originalbeachboy]

[ Flint has the style of a rock. Dressing like your dad doing winter gardening as a supervillain is downright embarrassing. ]

[toocloseforcomfort]

First off, burn anything you own with horizontal stripes on it. They make you look like a Tom of Finland knock-off and I mean that in the least complimentary way possible. They're selling discount prints of you at the local art walk. And what is with that haircut? Your widow's peek might as well be a witch hat turret on that giant head of yours.

Get something that fits you. Start with a crew neck t-shirt and a bomber jacket. Lose the wide belt - you look like a cheap John Cena impersonator you hire on Craigslist. The slacks are workable, though the workboots have to go. You're not on a construction site, the steel-toes make you look like an undercover cop. Invest in a good pair of oxfords. And for the love of god, if you can't grow your hair out enough to style it properly, buy a goddamn flat cap so we don't have to see it.

[originalbeachboy]

[ Flint listens to all this advice with slowly glazing over eyes. Despite his roughneck appearance and honestly, mentality, he's a big art buff and does know who Tom of Finland is. If it wasn't explicitly said it wasn't a compliment, he'd have taken it as one, because homo-eroticism aside, those guys looked great.

He can't actually work up a point by point reply and settles for a surly- ]

I like lookin' rough.

[ Which he feels covers all his fashion choices, and it does. But he means rough more like a dangerous thug, not the rough like being hard to look at which he's actually ended up with. ]

sephiroth ( final fantasy vii )

[vehementi]

[Someone should definitely help Sephiroth with his sense of style. All black, all leather, big dramatic coat, no shirt-- just some random chest straps and pauldrons.

Guy clearly has no concept of sensible clothing.]

[toocloseforcomfort]

Nice Witcher cosplay, Legolas. Did you forget where you put the rest of the armour set, or do you think pauldrons make up for a weak set of shoulders? The rest of the outfit is fine if you're working at a S&M club to pay rent. I'm not even going to touch that hair.

Ditch the 14th century shoulder pads and get yourself a decent fitting overcoat. Don't worry, lots of the modern ones come with shoulder pads to fill out your silhouette. I'd recommend picking a wool coat to fall nicely on that beanpole frame of yours. And add a little colour to your wardrobe. I'm sure you've got some tragic backstory that's left you hopelessly devoted to monochromes and pleather but get some therapy and then get the girls down at Nordstroms to help you figure out your undertones.

laughed myself to tears; this is all i wanted, thank u

[vehementi]

[Damn-- nobody told him this was going to turn into a Nibelheim-level roast. Sephiroth keeps a level expression throughout, but if he claims not to be terribly off-put by the digs at his hair and stature (he works hard on those, thank you very much), it'd be an out-and-out lie. A quiet albeit sharp breath pushes past his lips, and by the furrow in his brow and the thin line that his mouth eventually presses into, it becomes quite easy to see how very done with this he already is.]

I suppose you treat any acquaintance of yours with such ill disdain. Will that be all?

Molly | OC | OTA

[got_teeth]

[Molly is capable of looking cute. She's got a good taste for retro looks, for pastels and puff sleeves and apron dresses, tasteful prints and practical cuts of skirts or pants.

But, well, let's just say that while she has the looks on the left, it's the looks on the right she's bringing to the meme today.

Now, whether you'd call that disaster is all a matter of taste! Are you an aficionado of avant garde? Do you think it's more important for art to evoke feelings over simply looking nice? Do you want your wardrobe to spark joy in yourself, or others???

Which is to say Molly is of course considers herself a fashion guru, and if you get the same amusement from incomprehensible or 'creative' apparel, or have the same sense of humour or like the same subject matter, you might agree. If you do not share this specific niche of Molly's tastes, however, she is a walking disaster. Regrettably, she welcomes both viewpoints, so good luck getting through to her!

(TL;DR: today she's a fashion disaster and LOVES it.]

[toocloseforcomfort]

Get the fuck out of here.

[onceandfuturemaou]

[ Eiji takes a long, slow look over Molly. He himself is wearing a masterpiece of a shirt, which he tugs at so he can look down on it. Humming thoughtfully, he closes his eyes, pulls out a box of cigarettes with a stylish rip in the top, and smacks the bottom. A single smoke is shot out by the force, spiralling upwards to be caught on his lips. A few seconds more to light it, a long drag and a slow breath out straight up. Arms crossed, he appears to be in deep contemplation.

With a solemn tone suitable for a judge coming to a conclusion that will define a life and set an important legal precedent he finally speaks. ]

Nice.

Proinsias Cassidy | Preacher (AMC)

[bloodandwhiskey]

[ Cassidy looks like he dresses out of the donation bin... probably because he does. No shame. ]

[toocloseforcomfort]

What advice can I ever bother giving you? You look like a thrift store grew legs and developed a severe drinking problem. That stubble make you look the way stale vomit smells but if you shaved, you'd just look like a raw chicken breast. And I'm not going to even touch the haircut. There's a gutter out there somewhere desperately missing your presence. Congratulations, there's no possible improvement you could make. Keep on keeping you, you filthy drunk.

[ Multiple Aus available, cross canon & cr loved.
- Here is her pinterest! Tons of outfits there: Pinterest & then Toyhou.se! ]

[toocloseforcomfort]

The witch-themed stripper look is working for you and those fucking cat ears so great job.

Aarne "the Eagle" Järvinen | OC - The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust | OTA

[suomi_thunder]

[Definitely thinks he is a fashion guru. Sometimes semi-masculine but usually very feminine.]

[toocloseforcomfort]

Much like 8-track tapes and wood paneling, you had your moment fifty years. But those two changed with the times, and you're still lingering in someone's shag carpeted basement, leaning against the padded minibar and listening to Bowie. Of course, if you did update, you'd look even more insufferable as some horrible long-legged indie rock idiot mumbling into the microphone. Points to you for at least living your truth as accurately as you can, even if it's tragically dated. If you did bother to update, just lean so far into your current style that you emerge as an avant garde nightmare.

Eskel || The Witcher (any) || OTA

[wolfdogwitcher]

[You'd think somebody that looks like he does would dress to keep a little lower profile but he likes to think the warm colors he likes to wear make him look less menacing. He likes to think he's not an absolute disaster sartorially but is not like he has much to compare it to. He's making an effort anyway, as if he can make his presence easier for people: trims his hair, shaves his face, wears nice clothes that he hopes make him look less like death embodied. He knows how he looks, for better and for worse (he certainly favors pants that fit his muscular thighs and ass). And maybe once upon a time he liked looking a little flashy, so what? Could not find a picture of his beret with the pheasant feather but trust that it's downright jaunty and he probably liked to doff it at the ladies back in the day, before the accident.]

[toocloseforcomfort]

I'm assuming plastic surgery isn't an option so we'll work with the face, not against it. Dump the red and yellow - they make you look like you've got a rash or probably smallpox. Cooler tones will make you look like less of a wreck. The pants are boots are fine, since I assume your dayjob involves hitting bears with a stick and looking respectable doesn't matter. The rolled up sleeves are a good look on you - kudos for stumbling into that. Ditch that popped collar, it makes your head look like a pimple. And most importantly - change your fucking haircut. The outfit is some clown shit but it's almost acceptable clown shit. The hair says 'only Mother may brush me and she has been dead these long five winters'. Wash it, cut it, go with a side-part - nearly anything is a better choice than the one you're making now. Don't shave it though. You'll look even more like a pimple.

Kusakabe Hikaru | Doukyuusei/Sotsugyousei

[zgok]

[While he can be made to be stylish sometimes, if he has his way he likes garish colors and slightly feminine styles.]

[toocloseforcomfort]

You're nailing the hipster fucking douchebag look. Can't wait to see you show up on Humans of New York with some pithy little story about the time you did coke in the West Village and woke up in Queens behind the wheel of a stolen food truck.

Emil | NieR

[genetica]

[The fashion disaster. The worst part is, he's meant to come from the future and yet here he is looking like a gay little vampire.]

[toocloseforcomfort]

You look like hotel curtains. Trade out that grandma-patterned sash for something with a solid colour and get rid of all the fucking ruffles, and you'd be... well you'll still look like your mother calls you her 'Prince Charming' and is desperately trying to give you an oedipus complex, but I think that's the best someone like you can hope for.

Childe | Genshin Impact

[foulhunger]

this meme is CLOSE ENOUGH

[foulhunger]

[ Childe would likely never have gotten this far if Zhongli hadn't happened to be finishing up his work at the exact time he decided to pay the man a visit. And if the timing was so fortunate on purpose and not by coincidence as Childe implied, well. White lies are opaque enough to read their meanings on, aren't they? Zhongli can divine whatever implications he'd like from the fact that Childe wants his undivided attention, if he wants to look at it further.

And in the meantime—

'Xiansheng! I've never seen you actually putting this on before! It's almost as pretty a shade in its pot as it is on your skin.'

Childe had caught Zhongli reapplying — or first applying, he can't personally tell and Zhongli has yet to correct him in either direction — the rouge so often spread around the rim of his eyes. Does he only put it on sometimes, then? What's the pattern? Because for a man like Zhongli, surely it's not left up to simple whims.

So Childe leans against the edge of the man's desk, hands gripping the dark wood behind himself, eyes on Zhongli. A smile curls through his words. ] Got something special planned?
