Style Overhaul
BLUF: Looking for recommendations for Westernwear and California Workwear stuff for future wardrobe overhaul.
—————
Hi all. 28 year old dude from the American Southwest here.
I am in the midst of a massive weight loss. When I get to my goal weight, none of my clothes will fit - and I would like to use that opportunity to really improve my style.
I will be taking it slow and buying pieces at a time, but a style that really reflects who I am as a person is really appealing to me.
I was born and raised in Southern California, and left when I joined the Army at 18. I spent the entirety of my adult life (including now) in Texas and Arizona.
These two places really made me who I am and have informed my worldview quite a bit, so I think an amalgamation of Westernwear and California workwear would be fun and makes sense for me.
I found two articles that kind of describe these two styles, and plan to kind of marry them together. This is likely way easier than I am making it out to be, but I am planner and like to think about different things.

These articles happen to describe what I am trying to do more or less perfectly. Hoping to establish the vibe and keep it specific and cohesive throughout - including into some more office-friendly stuff (whatever that means for a vibe like this).
Hoping to get some suggestions for brands and specific items to look at. I am actively forming a list that I can post here later on.
