do you plan on sharing what you have in mind or
yeah mb i think the style is called streetwear (not 100% sure) but its the clothes which are baggy.
do u have pictures
yeah i can send it here
yes
Pull&Bear jeans
Have a look on their website
Igu twin
real shit like why is there so much to know
Do you live in europe or usa
Or neither
i live in canada
budget?
honestly my budget is like 60 max for a pair of jeans
and for sweaters prolly like 40-50
I’d say you should start w some basic pieces (a hoodie, a sweater, maybe 1-2 jeans, a jacket)
Baggy jeans buying new I think Weekday is your best bet? If they ship to canada, I think they do
i got a pair of blue baggy jeans, a pair of parachute pants from zara and a singular pair of baggy sweats (gray)
Ok nice
yeah they do its just always outta stock
in terms if sweater u got any recommendations? ion really like the cropped feel of a sweater but if its what the aesthetic has then ill buy that ig
i also have a puffer jacket (yk like the shiny ones) but thats prolly not gonna work until its really cold and i have a nike zip up
ion know how to style them or match them with my clothes (is the problem i think)
Ok let me send some of my fits
alr bett
Also you should try to find some more inspo pics
Def recommend getting pinterest and searching like 2024 streetwear or something
Infinite pics that are similar to the above
Also one billion billion pairs of baggy jeans and oversized sweaters/sweatshirts on depop eBay etc
preciate man
In your budget
for jackets, i think track jackets and bombers work really well
And a denim jacket
yeahh i was gonna say i like those bomber jacket fits
like those f1 bombers
u can get a vintage track jacket for like $30 on ebay, grailed
If you search in waywt for fits from smiles or sinchad or Blo you will find some stuff
how do ik if the seller is trustable, should i go thru the reviews?
And maybe #brutalismus 3000 bur maybe not
alr thank you bro
high review rating is definitely a pro yes!
Wait just go to Zara
I’m not even lying
Any amount of bad feedback is worth looking at
But also yeah just go to Zara
zara is a hit or miss here in canada
they definitely have very well made clothes and their jeans are good
Their jeans are good
but most of their clothes get too formal if yk what i mean
If you’re looking for jeans
I think they have everything
alr i will look for jeans on there as well
what colors jeans are essential?
None are essential
But a dark black grey wash is pretty in rn
alr i will try to get that
As well as a distressed dark blue
i got this weird mix of blue/light blue
Light blue isn’t super trendy rn but it still works
so ill look into a washed black/gray
also what are ur thoughts on black cargos/parachutes?
I like them
alr ill purchase a pair or washed black jeans (baggy) and then some black parachutes
what about tshirts and hoodies
T shirts just go used thrifting or buy merch of your favorite bands/stores/artists
Pleasures/stussy
Brain dead
yo you actually got it spot on
Big fan of a layered tee over a thermal
should i learn layering
?
My 2 cents
Is that a good jacket goes a long way
Jacket over hoodie and baggy jeans, jacket over sweater with baggy jeans, etc
Good basic fall layering
alr bet what jacket would u recommend?
prolly something that matches with everything
so a neutral color
If you were gonna get 1 jacket I’d think a black or dark grey bomber type jacket
alr bet ima add that to my list
Oh
You know what I’d get
I’d get a carhartt detroit
lemme check that rq
Or a carhartt santa fe
damn why tf they so expensive
yeee
ill try to find a dupe of it
so like a jacket that looks like that is what u mean
Ok yeah search carhartt dupe or workwear jacket or something
Yeah
alr bett
Doesn’t have to be carhartt ofc
Just smth that looks like this
alrr
Ish
Bcs listen
U throw that on
A hoodie, or a zip up with a tee underneath
Some baggy jeans
Sneakers
Ur fresh and it’s easy af
real shit
thanks man you saved me sm time and thinking
And as far as brands for knits and hoodies I’m mostly uniqlo/jcrew or thrifted stuff
now i just gotta figure out a good hoodie i can pop on anytime any where
def
Uniqlo is a good bet imo
alr thats true
the only thing is uniqlo never fit my body proportions right
+ the crop
Ah yea
I size down 1-2 to alleviate that usually
But depending on the chest measurement it could end up being too small
nah its usually to small
Horizontally
ohhhhhh
however i only tried a tshirt from them
so i cant be hating them
still gotta experiment
If u can go in person I would
yeahhh ill go in person and try their shit
yea
And u can send pics back in a new thread or this one
can give feedback on sizing etc
yeah exactly
whats ur opinion on blanks vs like logos
like i have this polo crewneck with polo written across it really big
and then i also have a crewneck which is just gray
and what about heavyweight clothes? is that better for this typa vibe? i feel like normals dont look as well
heavyweight clothes are better in that they tend to drape better but you're gonna still want lightweight stuff when it's warm
that might be a bridge to cross in several months
thank youu
I Like both
I think u have to have some basic crewnecks/hoodies/sweaters and stuff
like just a couple colors I guess
But graphic/logo items are also v cool
And look good layered or on their own
okkk
The third guy is sante on instagram, he has a brand called fivefourfive, although out of your budget you can check both instagram pages for more inspo
