What is your fashion end game? - Topic of the day 12/26/23
When do you know if you finally beat the fashion game? What aesthetic/brand direction do you want to be given unlimited resources? What are you going to do if you achieve your fashion goals?

I am the proud owner of the Margiela rubiks cube
the goal is to be wealthy enough to not physically recoil at Saint Laurent retail 
i just want to look like a cozy softboi

I don't think an endgame truly exists? Like obviously I have an aesthetic in mind that I work towards but I have no idea if I'd be content even if I was dressing perfectly. And even if my taste doesn't change, trends would keep it changing anyway.
endgame would be having sufficient money to drop my current aesthetic and fill out my wardrobe with custom Layer-0 instead of everything I've got
barring that I will slowly meander around reducing my closet size as stuff slowly falls apart and becomes largely burdensome to repair, as I sink into Rick Owens cozywear
Eyn Vas would be a cheaper way to do this but it's honestly too minimal and not fun enough, I don't practice meditation in an empty room other than a single vase with a single flower and a skylight
That’s the thing. My engagement with fashion feels like a relationship and conversation that is always changing. Idk if I’ll ever even want to have an endgame
I already have red shoes, pants, shirt, jacket. Not sure what comes next. I need to post a pic tho.
I actually do want an endgame, or functionally an endgame. I have largely stepped down my shopping volume over the last few years since selling my large Undercover collection and buying my place, and I wish to do this even further
I want to reach a place where I no longer look for things to buy in seasonal lookbooks and runways and only look to them as fun art
Seriously, though, my endgame would be to love everything in my closet, be really picky about what I buy, and be willing to spend money on really nice stuff.

If this is the only piece of clothing in my closet I still wouldn’t mind
Endgame looks like finding the perfect black shirt, jeans, and boots and spending the leftover money on other hobbies. Many have walked this path and while it's fun for a bit I feel like you lose steam and find something else to hyperfixate on. Interior design/designer furniture feels like a common next step for folks once they've really dialed in their personal style, and it probably will be for me too.
Endgame means looking like I either stepped out of a dark academia Instagram shoot, but with all clothes durable and functional enough that I could take them tramping.
Only suffering all the way to the end.
whatever i tell my wife i am currently buying
i can relate
i relate to this as well, and by this measure maybe i'm already at my endgame. i legit feel like i've found what works for me and what i'm happy with, and dont see that changing anytime soon. i dont pick up new things as often as i used to, and even when i do it's just different versions of essentially the same stuff that already makes up most of my closet. a good amount of new purchases are out of boredom, and i do find myself looking for the next thing to fixate on (probably not furniture though)
with u 100%
ez to max on furniture if ur in an apt tho thankfully
limited space is a blessing
A capsule wardrobe that I feel comfortable in and don't have to think about. I feel like I'm 90% of the way there but the last 10% is hard to nail down
the game never ends
and I’m SICK of ppl pretending it does
End game is an ILLUSION
I just want to be able to have good photos of taken of myself
For me, it’s being able to intuitively put colors together in a pleasing way, outside of just tonal/earth tones fits
