I’m relatively new to fashion and am looking for ways to expand and diversify what I wear.
Im quite bored of what I currently wear and am stuck in a cycle of jeans and streetwear style things. Any tips on how I could maybe diversify what I wear in small but noticeable ways?

And yes I’m very aware I’m a trend hopper 😭
Do you seen any outfits in #waywt that appeal to you?
or #inspiration
Tbf I’ve seen quite a lot looking in that
I’m really liking the smart casual look
With the shirts etc
post pics
I’ve not got much I’ll try and find some older ones
no like from #waywt or #inspiration that you like
pictures are always worth more than words
Ahh ahaha I see
The enlarged photo at the top is definitely my favourite out of all of them
looks like clarks wallabees
maybe a chambray button-up shirt
blue chore coat
Thank you 🙏
all solid, versatile pieces if you go in this direction.
actually, maybe not a chore coat. similar?
I feel like for the most part they all are somewhat linked, is this a certain genre that I could look into for more info?
thats like some hybrid of a chore and a bomber jacket
stylistically its more like a chore though
in materials and cut
just with bomber neck and pockets
Looks similar
What are the trousers he is wearing too? Can’t make them out
look into dickies 874s
some kind of blue double knee wide straight cut trousers of some kinds
chore coats and chambray are workwear pieces. the dude with the tie looks kinda "city boy".
he's wearing a wider cut but they're a similar vibe
yeah I'd look into japanese workwear and city boy aesthetic if you're pinterest browsing
👍👍 thank you
you're welcome
I kinda want to look into some loafers too, any cheap pairs that are good?
allen edmonds on ebay
if you have an allen edmonds store nearby, you may want to go there and try some on so you have a better idea of your size.
loafer sizes are different and less forgiving than sneakers.
or, at least get someone to measure your feet with a brannock device.
the jacket in pic 1 is this one albeit probably oversized; you can probably find it or something similar for far less (as you've seen) https://www.farfetch.com/shopping/men/carhartt-wip-og-santa-fe-bomber-jacket-item-23390969.aspx?lang=en-US&fsb=1&size=2&storeid=10122
Legend
I’ll have a look
I’ve heard they can be quite uncomfortable so will defo make sure to try some on regardless of what store it might be
A lot of leather footwear needs to be broken in before you can wear it comfortably all day
I think they take some break in time. The leather edge inside was straight up painful for the first couple days, then it softened up and now it feels great.
Edit: I should mention they fit great, it was just the fresh cut edge that some MFAD folks wisely advised me to let soften up.
It shouldn't be uncomfortable, but it won't be as comfortable as sneakers.
