crusty inspo
hey y'all, I'm looking for inspo for clothes that look good with wear. I paint, and while I rarely get anything on my clothes, I like wearing things that would still look good if I did.
The hard part is I'm purposely avoiding workwear - militaria is as close as I'll go. Not looking to buy anything right now, so price isn't an issue.
My main concern is paint, but anything I can ruin with distressing, stains, etc. Is welcome! It might also just be my perception that my current clothes wouldn't look good covered in paint.

but yeah, denim coveralls/overalls, fatigues, white obviously
Any sort of denim will look great with paint on it.
I also think heavyweight cotton takes to paint really well. Like a thick hoodie or crewneck sweatshirt.
A big tee shirt with a chest pocket
Anything thick enough not to get soaked through that's also relaxed enough to be reasonable for working/painting in I think
calla's style of layering feels appropriate but i'm not sure it lends itself to paint specifically
A basic crew neck sweatshirt always looks good worn in/painted. One of my favorites in my closet:
i think this is just a heavyweight shirt vs work jacket
Paint stained chambray is cool
ya a lot of callas fits are in my inspo
I guess I need to go wider and more holes
overalls feel a bit too workwear for me but those pics are sick
here are some fits I really like where I'm like...would it still work if some or all of the pieces were thrashed
yeah i think so
thrifted tees with a heavier weight, jeans, chore coats / canvas jackets, thrifted denim jackets (i own something in each category that has paint on it lol)
also any white canvas sneakers
Needles hdu pants?
yeah I've wanted a pair for a long time haha
I think I just gotta get over the idea that buying expensive clothes means I have to keep them pristine
Easier to stomach wear on like fatigues and thrift finds that are already a lil crusty
ahh true. i think they look great thrashed tho
dickies might be a good move?
the mainline ones or the collabs like shinya kozuka
Dickies
