Brands to consider

Hey all, im looking to update my wardrobe for everyday use. I already have some pieces I intend to build my outfits around like jackets and the like. At this point in time here is the direction im taking: Mature masculine style, deep/soft autumn pallette (color analysis), leaning into more blues, greens and browns and really leaning into the "dad/dilf"(cringe ik) aesthetic I tend to look for quality and longevity so my budget per item is roughly 200-400 retail price(ill buy on sale or something). Ill also include reference photos. I need recs on: White Sneakers, stylish enough to wear casually, comfortable enough to wear when working out Casual Brown/Green Jacket: something light to wear year round. Ekko Beater dupe(struggling to find one) No-logo sweaters to wear in the cold months. Stylish shorts to wear in the warm months. Dont be afraid to tell me im wrong or need a different style to visualize. Im open to anything rn. Im at Drill rn so ill post current fits later but for now ill appreciate brands or keywords to look for

The 4th jacket is a waxed cotton one you can check out barbours for similar tho I’ll be honest I forget the retail prices. Sweaters you can p easily find from places like ll bean j crew or just browse around on eBay. The first fit feels v different from the other 3 so I mostly focused on those

I think of both De Bonne Facture and Frank Leder when I think of autumn palettes, personally. Lots of greens/blues/browns, at least with the stuff that sticks in my mind. Might be a little outside of your price range but you can usually find DBF on sale each season..
