Brand Spotlight: Wythe - Topic of the day 6/17/24

" I started Wythe searching for icons of the past — the perfect oxford shirt, an authentic denim pearl snap, the grey sweatshirt worn to perfection. These were all things that could be found in any shopping mall, but the soul of the garment had been ripped out.

The bygone heirlooms of the past, remade to fit w...

Separating Art from Artist - Topic of the day 6/15/24

Do you consider brands/designer's ethics before you click 'purchase?' Is there any brand/designer that you refuse to wear because of factors completely unrelated to their clothes?

What does dressing your age mean to you? Is it something you concern yourself with? Do you think that your style will evolve as a result of getting older?

Mono-Brand Wardrobe - Topic of the day 6/12/24

If money were no object and you could only have one brand represented in your wardrobe, what brand would it be and why? Is it aesthetics, function, tactile feel, brand loyalty, sustainability, or something else (feel free to ignore things like undergarments or highly specialized gear)? To what extent is such an approach even viable? Feel free to include pictures of any specific garments that would be essentials for or grails in this mono-brand wardrobe.

Top of WAYWT: May 2024 - Topic of the day 6/7/24

Listen, I'm gonna be honest and say that the mod team collectively does not own calendars. When we drop the monthly top of waywt just know that we're up here guessing. So it's kind of on you guys that this is going up so late. With that being said, discuss https://discord.com/channels/1116793467654381685/1248459918843973682 and your favorite WAYWTs from the month of May. Who went nuts, who was slept on, you get it by now.
