Rollneck sweater, denim pearlsnap shirt, straight leg pleated prl pants, zip boots.
I have just been wearing variations of this pretty as much as i can since it got colder out
@eggtart!
what's up
Cashmere heavy gauge turtleneck — perfect blend of dressed up and dressed down, soft cozy texture and heavier visual weight that can pair with both rougher denim and soft flannel trousers
uniqlo j+ for the streetwear side and my cat knit for the cozy side. i wear either piece a lot but i see them as an aspirational anchor point of sorts for how i want to develop my wardrobe
It’s ur pic bra
White T shirts. I want to go for a polished and precise look. Unfortunately I'm a broke student. So the closest I can get at the moment is white t shirts and taking pride in the fact that mine are crisp and white.
My current ideal winter look seems to be: jeans, tweed jacket, OCBD, optional knit tie. More precisely, 501s, PRL shirt, Harris tweed.
My black outlier Bombworks. I don't wear them a ton, but I love them. They're like the perfect blend of formal, casual and sporty. Nylon fabric that looks kinda like cotton twill. Super deep black dye. Generous cut in the thigh and slight taper makes them super versatile. I'm always kind of on the go, but I don't like really techy stuff. I love cotton and linen, but these pants are great because they're "hard-wearing" and they resist smell. I can bike in them and then go to the office, for instance.
I'm trying to wear as much orange as possible
A big overcoat is an essential item for me
What zip boots do you have
same my uniqlo balmacaan was my first big purchase in terms of actually thinking about fashion and the clothes i wear
Tbh i have like 5 pair. Mostly in the SLP cuban heel kind of shape, 1 70s style one from dries van noten, and 1 fun pointy one from 2000s dior
This could be me but I tried looking for them during Black Friday and legit could not get through the crowd LMAO
Definitely my hakama.
I love that they look quite modest when you’re standing still but are very dramatic as you walk.
I own 3 pairs and am always on the hunt for specific variants to round out my collection.
Same, but red.
Damn thank you for the intel on these. I'm always on the hunt for pants I can ride my bike in and still look decent (esp. in the wide fit era which makes this harder), and have the same aversion to overtly techy stuff. Outlier pants might be what I wanted the pants I got from Chrome to be 😃
Yes! Outlier has some really cool fabrics that toe the line well between activewear and “not-activewear.” But their stuff is stylish too.
