Uniqlo sub or a Fashion Advice sub? /u/humanbot69420 /r/malefashionadvice

This sub isn’t fashion advice. It’s a circle-jerk of privileged performative taste-making that has a very narrow view of fashion.

• Brand Snobbery: The subreddit often dismisses popular brands while overpraising niche or minimalist brands like Uniqlo, potentially disconnected from real-world fashion dynamics.
• Brand shaming is economic gatekeeping: Not everyone can afford your artisanal $300 Japanese denim made by monks.
• Cultural ignorance: Dismissing popular brands like Nike or Tommy ignores that fashion is communication, not just fabric. A brand’s popularity is part of its fashion identity.
• Echo Chamber Effect: The sub seems to create an insular fashion philosophy that can feel removed from broader fashion trends and everyday style choices.

Real style is about confidence, context, and expressing yourself – not hiding behind some algorithm of “acceptable” fashion.

This isn’t advice. This is a support group for people afraid to actually be seen.
