How long did your wardrobe take to catch fire

I think one part of growth for me is going I want to dress like a cowboy but I'm scared to put on a brand new western shirt from a big brand And it isn't until I am comfortably wearing those that I get the confidence to be a little bit bolder with that same look, stuff that felt like fancy dress feels a bit muted and low effort now

How long did your wardrobe take to catch fire

Shorts length - Topic of the day 4/8/25

I grew up on big cargo shorts so have enjoyed keeping it to 7 inch chinos as an adult. I do feel torn between going for 5s to show off the goods, and returning to the big shorts of yore.

shirt wearing thin at pockets?

shirt wearing thin at pockets?
