Just got some nice pieces from Saks Fifth Avenue
I just bought two new pieces from saks. The first is a Palm Angels gray knit sweater. The second piece is a balenciaga hoodie. The hoodie is pretty oversized. I haven’t styled clothing similar to both of these pieces and would appreciate any advice. I think some baggy cargo pants would be cool but let me know your thoughts.

Could I provide the online ones? I’m at the airport rn and don’t wanna take them out from the bag since they are nicely folded
yeah that's fine
https://www.mrporter.com/en-us/mens/product/balenciaga/clothing/hoodies/oversized-logo-print-distressed-cotton-jersey-hoodie/1647597333757242
The hoodie btw is fucking massive
Man that saks fifth avenue sales rack was huge and was an absolute gold mine
I got the hoodie for $500 when it’s normally $1250
Palm angels knit for $200 when it was normally $500
i mean that link u sent has pretty solid inspo
i would say the only no go is something very cropped
baggy pants
for both
palm angels will go with anything tbh
Yeah I need to upgrade my lower body wardrobe
but like jeans, double knees, cargos, whatever will all work
yeah probably, that sweater is just a sweater
I want some fire cargo pants bruh
and for the baggy hoodie as long as you are not making your legs look super tiny it could go with anything
Taking recommendations for brands or whatever to buy from
Honestly lower body I don’t care about brand much because it’s logo less for the most part
Uniqlo, h and m, stuff of that sort should be good enough
The hoodie is massive bruh
how far down your legs does it reach?
When I tried it on I folded the bottom up for styling it
I think when I let it down all the way probably to my upper thigh
let it hang brother
yeah baggy is probably the move, you can just source from the denim of your choice
its def cut like this
Id say that’s accurate
ngl bro this is an absolutely wild choice of a hoodie to buy without a plan
yeah i mean that moment there is kinda attesting to what i was saying
I also just found out though not 100% sure that it was from their ski wear collection
it doens't neccesarily have to be super baggy, would just recommend against a crop
So it’s extra wide and baggy
Dude it was low key an impulse buy it was too good of a deal
its supposed to be incredibly oversized, either super baggy pants eg:
I’m also expanding my wardrobe and want new styles
or like, similar to that runway look slimmer pants and lean into the fact the hoodie is ridiculous
i dont think it's that ridiculous but im also very oversized in most of my dressing
I think it was from their ski line so it’s pretty huge
luckily the color and logo makes it pretty easy to just Put On
Would be fire to wear when I’m skiing this winter
Where do you recommend to get cargo pants?
So far I only have basic sweatpants
for baggy my go to would've been more balenci or acne
you have a lot of choices if you want something cheaper because the silhouette is very popular rn
Mmm ok
Yeah definitely
I think I’ll try to find like Uniqlo or h and m
i dont know if uniqlo goes that baggy but maybe at h&m
Idk how to describe that other kind of pant
It’s not really cargo
It’s kinda like tech wear or something
My best explanation is Nike acg pants
I like the nylon ones or other materials besides fabric as well
maybe a hiking pant?
Parachute pants maybe
ahhh yeah probably
Hmmm maybe
Would I look under wide leg
absolutely
Ok 👍
Some milsurp woodland cargoes would go well too imo
I’ll check those out
And as far as accessories go how could I go about it
I have this supreme crossbody bag and yeah
I’m gonna get more shoes later too

Some non wide/baggy cargo pants would be nice as well for non oversized hoodies which is the majority of my collection
rest is gonna depend on your style. there are half a million cargo pants on the market
any fit pics that you have can help
Alright thanks man
Besides cargo and sweat, what other styles do you know of or recommend?
I feel like for men there’s not much else 💀
well first there are cuts to everything
but also there are more in the typical men's options
and then there are even more in the more out there/avant garde options
so there are wide and balloon pants which I sent you
there are double knee painter/carpenter style pants
you also left out chinos which can be pleated or non-pleated
then there are different materials which flow or hang or look different
linen, polyester, nylon, ripstop, cotton, etc
then you can also get further down the rabbit hole and wear skirts or ultra wide hakama style pants or wrap pants/skirts
anything but skinny cuts are in fashion
and even some skinny cuts can be fashionable (see: https://discord.com/channels/1116793467654381685/1116800072093532191/1257367819629105263)
but BlueEyes is a little on the advanced side. He is dressing in almost all Rick Owens stuff that is designed to go together (or has an eye for what goes with it)
Damn man I need someone to educate me about the fashion world
I’m really interested in it and love fashion personally
I’m still only in high school about to enter my senior year but I’ve always had great interest in fashion and will be making my own money soon
I think I’m going on my “big shopping spree” sometime later in August before school so I have time to plan what I want to buy for my outfits
He wears a ton of balenciaga as well
These are all gigantic bal sweaters styled mostly the same way
Mostly being wider cut cargos pooling over boots or chunky sneakers to match the big proportions of the sweater, which seems like the common rec in here already from a skim
Yo send me his way 😂
I was thinking of getting some trainers like new balance
I have new balance 574s rn
He has a podcast you should listen to/watch
hes a member here, but you'll probably get more out of that

Is he a model or something cuz that’s pretty impressive stuff
You're not going to get the same look with hm cargos and new balances, but gigantic hoodie goes with everything so you'll still look fine and feel comfy as hell

I love my air max 97s
air max 97s are dope
18east
I’ll cop another pair of shoes later on
NB 990v2s are great
2002rs
998
996
990v1
all great silhouettes
Don't combine balenciaga with mfa brands like 18east and new balance
Just wear it with all nike like most ppl do
I think for now I just need one big baggy cargo pants because the majority of my wardrobe is not baggy stuff
Then again baggy cargos I might really like in general
Nike bottoms?
18east goreckis was made for u
they literally rec to wear oversized lmaoo
What are mfa brands
Anything dog, even tiny running shorts under a gigantic hoodie looks good
salsa is getting meta with it
they're just popular/recognized here
Menswear brands that are like business casual and ivy adjacent
O what does the abbreviation stand for
prep and lightly gorpy, it doesn't mix well with this designer imo
male fashion advice
O
Lmao
where you are rn
So what would blend well you’re saying is still higher designer
Wdym
mfa
male fashion advice
Not necessarily. Balenciaga is a brand that works well with itself but is very different from a lot of other designer rn. But it's literally a giant hoodie that says authentic sports apparel on it, just wear it with streetwear or sporty stuff
Yeah I’m gonna try to find some baggy cargos
I’ll buy another pair or two of shoes later on
Then some maybe non baggy cargos I don’t know
Other variety I don’t know much more beyond sweatpants and cargos for now
I cant deny Salsa because he posts alot of fit, but I think some of those pants recommended above would work; especially Harvesty, US Army arctic liner, and alpha industries
alpha industries themselves have been doing alot of collabs with designer brands like vetements
their stuff tends to work with balenci
Alright
What did you mean by where I am btw
you are in mfa
Oh
Lol
I think for now all I can do is get cargo pants
Not sure what else to get and other variety
Alright I’m on the plane now about to taxi
I’ll check in with you guys later when I land
Thank you everyone for the help so far I really appreciate it
Wait hold up get cargo pants and make sure they’re not too tapered
You can’t just wear standard fare mfa NBs or fatigues/pleated trousers with the vet oversized hoodie
The hoodie is OVERSIZED like comically because that’s vet’s design language
For shoes, neutral boring NBs are gonna look super out of place
You’re gonna want something that emulate’s vet’s giant shoes

And honestly I don’t think milsurp cargos are the way to go bc they’re way too normie to work with the silhouette that vet is tryna go for
You gotta get something crazier like the needles hd pants
Oops meant bali but same advice
One thing you can also do is wear slim pants that have very heavy flares
Hello guys I just landed
What are those
I didn’t know that but vetements is related to balenciaga design?
the current cd at balenci was originally at vet, and his brother took the mantle from him when he went to balenci
and needles is a brand and they have a very baggy trackpant that is popular
It’s a similar design language
Interesting
Yeah this is my first ever balenciaga piece and man I am beyond happy that I finally own a piece
First time experience this style too though so I am learning

Shoes I’m gonna have to get later on and not right now. I could get the cheaper ones rn but if I want to get Triple S’s then it will be a bit before then
For now I’m mainly focused on getting some fire pants

Pure heat 🔥🔥🔥
These work
Thanks lads 🙏🔥
You guys know mnml? @Sal @char the skyrizzler
I never heard of it
Also the needles stuff is nice too
Mnml knocks off one of the most popular designer brands other than balenciaga
Not sure how much I’m gonna play into the baggy stuff for the near future but I’ll buy one piece for now most likely
Who
Rick owens
💀😮💨
Lemme check out the Rick Owen’s website
I'm sad to say this but if your pants are dupes ppl will assume your hoodie is too
I heard of that guy many times but never checked out his stuff
People say he’s like a genius or something
I see the instagram shit and it’s how he “exudes aura” 💀😭
Ahhhh fuck no
Just save your money and get some wide balenciaga pants to go with your hoodie and future triple s
Damn we going that far brotha 😮💨💀
What about the needle pants
I want something for now
Just one single pair of “ultra” baggy cargos
Then I will get a shit ton of regular ones for daily wear
Needles aren't baggy, they're a balloon cut. They don't stack on your shoes they taper in at the ankles and look a lot more round. I can't recommend them tbh.
Zeo just posted a bunch of pics of them here https://discord.com/channels/1116793467654381685/1117803378521673768/1257888148701315143
How many of these guys are wearing ultra giant hoodies
Ok I’ll check this out
Man they are massive
Yea Sal is probably right you also want some pool
Sorry could you explain what that means
Bc the crop balloon silhouette would t work tbh
You want your wide leg to deal and stack on your shoe properly
Vs a crop
Oh
Ok
I found the originals 💀
