champion reverse weave and camber sweatshirts tend to hold up a lot better against pilling and whatnot from my experience - i'd recommend them or something similar if you want something that'll last awhile. i personally don't see the value proposition of buying something significantly beyond that (e.g., japanese loopwheeled hoodies). there's nothing wrong with brands like gildan and russell either - for something more on the cheaper side, i do really like the style of american apparel's reflex hoodie

I have a black champion hoodie I've been wearing and I really love E Alright thank you Something similar to champion would be nice in terms of quality and style, what colours would you suggest? I've only got black hoodies.

again, what do you want to dress like. there is no definitive good color without context. Black is fine but like it depens what you want to wear them with

that question also applies to the trainers; lots of different styles and colros available (maybe not at £100) but your preferences will dictate what you like might be worth finding a pic of someone who you want to dress like (on social meda or #waywt or #inspiration ) to post as a reference

GU (uniqlo sister company) hoodies are similar to champion's but not sure if they ship to UK
Rich

No clue Usually I wear my champion hoodie for everything from work to gym Usually wear black and then some shorts And trainers for running and gym

if you're looking just for something to wear and be clothed, this guide from #fashion-guides will probably help https://discord.com/channels/1116793467654381685/1212368672363118613 if you want to look cool or expand your horizons it would help to have some idea of your tastes, otherwise i can just say "buy a hot pink hoodie from primark" and call it a day it's a lot more impactful to think '[Person X in this picture]' looks cool and they're wearing a hoodie in [color Y], how can i find it?'
Rich
RichOP3mo ago
ngl I just wanted to hear and see some suggestions lol Hear what people enjoy
zeometer
zeometer3mo ago

I love my carhartt hoodie, I don't even like hoodies
Rich
RichOP3mo ago
I literally did I put "Looking for hoodie/trainer suggestions" idk how I could have made that more clear for you Then you guys started asking questions so I gave answers
sam
sam3mo ago
the point is that it's literally impossible to answer your questions (i.e. "what colors would you suggest?") without ANY frame of reference at all on what u want to dress like not a good place to ask if u just want brand names thrown at u
Rich
RichOP3mo ago
Hard disagree I was hoping people would just recommend me hoodies that they enjoy and I can look online and if I like the design I give it a go Joel for example did this and now I am looking at carhartt hoodies

For all those people that find it more convenient to bother you with their question than to google it for themselves.

anyway heres what you want

champion reverse weave hoodie @Rich
Rich
RichOP3mo ago
Honestly more champion might be the way I got a carhartt hoodie
zeometer
zeometer3mo ago
broader point though is if you want to find "better" things or get "better at" or "learn more" about dressing, you'll need to have some sort of idea of what you like or want to know
Rich
RichOP3mo ago
but the front pocket broke after a week so I returned it Idk what more I can say my experience with good hoodie brands is limited to this one champion hoodie
zeometer
zeometer3mo ago
carhartt wip probably the better solution, you'll likely want to look secondhand for those
Rich
RichOP3mo ago
Expensive?
zeometer
zeometer3mo ago
more than the £100 you've selected as your budget
Rich
RichOP3mo ago
Ah right
zeometer

champion reverse weave hoodie vs the aforementioned Brown hoodie made by 'The Cotton Exchange'

Ah right I like the hoodies
zeometer

alternatively search #waywt in particular for fits from TheComebackKid (_thecomebackkid), art (artvandelayimporting), wetdogg (wetdogg), Blo (blouuuu), and Mosh (sheepgirl) and/or #inspiration posts from damb or eggtart; decent assortment of hoodies
Rich
RichOP3mo ago
don't really understand wearing a coat over them ngl Alright will do thank you
zeometer
zeometer3mo ago
it was cold, i wanted the extra pockets and i like wearing jackets
Rich
RichOP3mo ago
oh this is you?
zeometer
zeometer3mo ago
yes
Rich
RichOP3mo ago
Yeah fair man I generally don't need more pockets than my bottoms and front pounch and I run quite hot but I don't live in a particularly cold place either just England
zeometer
zeometer3mo ago
we experienced unreasonably cold western but this is essentially translating what i'd wear in fall to winter
Rich
RichOP3mo ago
Honestly I don't think I'm cut out for "fashion" as such I just wanted some nice looking hoodies haha fair man my clothes stay the same year round other than hoodie comes off in the summer
zeometer
zeometer3mo ago
there's a wide range of things to be considered "fashion"
Rich
RichOP3mo ago
yeah that's probably true
zeometer
zeometer3mo ago
all of it is valid
Rich
RichOP3mo ago
to my ignorant ass "trying" with clothes is fashion yk?
zeometer
zeometer3mo ago
and you can choose who to engage or not engage with
Rich
RichOP3mo ago
Yeah for sure man
zeometer
zeometer3mo ago
what is "trying" to you
Rich
RichOP3mo ago
this is trying for sure but again this is on my end not your guys' end
zeometer
zeometer3mo ago
left fit is jacket + pants + hoodie
Rich
RichOP3mo ago
because I don't try to look good I just wear what I wear yk? a lot of my clothes or paint or concrete stained lmao
zeometer
zeometer3mo ago
it's a different type of jacket perhaps but the individual components are the same
Rich
RichOP3mo ago
and I wear steel toe boots a lot
zeometer
zeometer3mo ago
all of that is fine
Rich
RichOP3mo ago
I think to me it's also the type of materials and such
zeometer
zeometer3mo ago
and you should dress in a way that makes sense to and for you
Rich
RichOP3mo ago
like if I saw someone wearing that same outfit but instead of "fancy" (to me) trousers they were wearing jeans it'd be less trying Yeah that's honestly fair dude
zeometer

Rich
RichOP3mo ago
for me it's the shoes, trousers, jacket, and camera that feel trying if you get me
zeometer
zeometer3mo ago
well the camera was to take pictures lol
Rich
RichOP3mo ago
I like this one again don't get the jacket but I like the shoes and hoodie for sure
zeometer
zeometer3mo ago
the shoes are new balance 574s fwiw can probably find them secondhand for sub-100
Rich
RichOP3mo ago
uh what's the fwiw is that relevant
zeometer
zeometer3mo ago
fair - not a lot of people do this sort of mix but i've done it often enough it's easy to wear
Rich

zeometer3mo ago
for what it's worth; the original intent of this thread was asking about looking for trainers and i figured if that was still a question that that would useful to know
Rich
RichOP3mo ago
Yeah man I'm not a huge fan of the new balance stuff personally I don't think I suit them
zeometer
zeometer3mo ago
why is that the shoe itself or what it represents
Rich
RichOP3mo ago
I'm really not sure I just don't get any joy when I look at them I wasn't aware it represented anything tbh
zeometer
zeometer3mo ago
fair enough; honestly a valid reason didn't know if you had negative associations with new balances in the uk
Rich
RichOP3mo ago
Nah 😅 I just don't really see them Currently I am thinking something like this

Nike and Adidas were what I was looking at originally I use some Nike Pegasus atm
zeometer
zeometer3mo ago
i like the pegasus but to me it reads more a "actually working out" shoe than a shoe to walk around and do stuff in and i like timberlands but imo just the classic boot, not as much the two you've posted because they seem like they're trying to be two separate shoes only other thing I'll add about this relative to what you've seen on #waywt is that people choose to dress how they dress for whatever reason, whether it's just basic clothes for work or extravagant clothes for some function. both are fine, both are valid, and you can choose to engage or appreciate the things that respond to you (honestly leave comments if you like something) and just ignore what doesn't
Rich
RichOP3mo ago
that's what I use it for 😅 Yeah I feel that ngl I have a giftcard for sports direct which is why I'm limited in options my favourite of the timberlands is this one
