I guess I’m looking for smart but not formal

Building A Basic Wardrobe v7.0
Version 7 of the classic MFA post
Cheers mate I feel like I’m happy with my wardrobe in general I just don’t have anything that isn’t either casual or a suit atm
Might just get a vintage YSL shirt I like the fit
But idk if that’s a clean white trainers or whip out a leather shoe sort of move
Really depends on your style and the event tbh
BB7 best for folks without a set wardrobe who wanna look good but inoffensive
If you want some flare there's about a million directions to go in
The amount of directions is what’s fucking ne up aha
Feel like a cardigan is an option too
I’ll just get a cardigan and a shirt and see what happens aha
Solid choice, hard to go wrong there
that's how fashion gets you
First it's a cardigan, then you're mumbling about psi while people cross the street to get away from you
I’ve been stuck on Cardigan choice for weeks as well aha, thought I’d settled in one but it sold

What are you looking for in a cardi?
I like these but I can’t afford either atm really
eBay
Budget?
I guess like 30 but I get 90% of my clothes second hand
Hmm., I know style is personal and you should wear what you like to wear, but was thinking. Is there an age range when you should stop wearing Cargo/Double Knee/Fatigue pants? I don't see a lot of late 20's wearing that, but it may just be who's around me.
I know it's fine if you are going for a street/workwear style, like dancing hiphop, but in general, I don't see it much.
are u in the right thread? its a fine question just seems unrelated
Haha, yeah, I'm just looking at the guide you forwarded (the same guide that got me to this Discord server) and was thinking, hmm, I have most of these, but lacking in the Cargo/Double Knee/Fatigues. Then had that question.
ahh gotcha. that wasnt me haha
to answer ur question though, i dont think age matters unless you want to fit in with what other people your age are wearing. Most people don't pay attention to how they dress, so it's not surprising you don't see people in their late 20s wearing those styles. Im early 20s and even I don't seen them that often.
One way I like to think about it is those styles came from workwear/the military, where a wide range of ages were wearing them
Thanks, I'll keep it in my backpocket
Maybe one of these days I'll find one I like and experiment with it haha. Cargo pants def hasn't been part of my style since like Middle School
Those were the days
cargo pants get a bad rap outside of and even in fashion, like cargo shorts are the stereotypical unfashionable clothes. There is a big gap between good ones and ugly ones
but also a lot of people with great style dont wear them at all so no pressure either way
I work an office job in a city, am nearly 40 and wear fatigues nearly every day.
