Well put. I think this put into words my justification for viewing a 100% as something associated with utility more than anything. I'll certainly keep buying when I find pieces that give me some hormonal hits, or I'll find ways to incorporate cool things i see from inspo, so the only real way to gauge a 100% is if my wardrobe fits all the demands of my day to day, but that kinda skirts the question posed by weakening the scope of the 100% in question

Fashion Endgame - Topic of the day 3/24/25

I'm delusional for thinking the following criteria will stop me from buying more clothes but my current longterm goal is to have sufficient pieces to meet the utility demands of my lifestyle while still feeling coherent and me, while not having any pieces that sit and gather dust. Lifestyles change over time though so who's to know if I'll ever even hit that

Ultimately, I think the key thing to internalize when it comes to engaging with fashion and style is that it can be a deeply personal and long (if not perpetual) journey. This is why it takes time - you need a good balance of exposure to inspiration, consideration of your personal tastes, experimentation, alignment with your lifestyle and comforts, etc etc... Many of the people in here who's fits you admire have been doing this for years, none of them have cracked some formula to style. Its taken not only a lot of adjustments to their physical wardrobe, but also their personal tastes and lives. This is ultimately what brings fulfillment with clothes in my mind, the long journey of figuring out how to make your clothes work for your life which is an introspective and perpetual thing. Keep doing what you're doing without worrying that you're not as stylish as you want to be yet, because only you can define what stylish means to yourself, and that definition will take lots of time to craft. Frontloading your thoughts by thinking there is some achievable endgame will not be kind to your mental. Just keep progressing as you are, and as you learn more about what you like about clothes, everything will come naturally in due time.

You mentioned you've been searching by brand, maybe try searching for items instead, seems there's a lotta items that slot well into a more ivy inclined wardrobe (as carrion pointed out). gotta build them foundations before slotting in more expressive stuff!

also might help if you can get a bit more expressive about what you mean by words like progress and plateau do you feel like you’re not progressing because you feel your outfits are same-ish? or because you havent been able to source new things that are interesting to you? not sure how to build your wardrobe more? try to figure out whats giving you these feelings, and remind yourself that building personal style and experimenting is not something that happens fast. it’s perpetual, and viewing your progress as something that shouldn’t plateau or stall might lead you on a treadmill of consuming. it might be helpful to try to pin down these feelings a bit more so you can better address things
