Footwear advice
Which one should I buy Between Adidas Superstars, Samba and Stan Smith? My priority is durability as well as versatility. Would they work for dress up as well as down? Regarding the colour I'll be picking white because of the versatility.
Look wise i prefer clean white sneakers but unfortunately I can't find a good pair, the closest option is Massimo, however it's a bit expensive so these adidas sneakers are my options... Gazelle also looks good but I've heard bad reviews. I also thought about Vans and Converse but i feel like those 3 will be more versatile.

Which brand jeans would last longer Between Replay, Armani Exchange and G-Star raw (same material)
I recently bought some new pairs of Levi's but cursed my legs, i should have waited at least a month before buying anything.... Now i need to buy them again. I was looking and found these 3 brands but they are a bit expensive and I don't have any idea about their quality ( basically durability and comfort)....
I was looking at the weight of Replay jeans and it's around 11oz which seems low, even my chinos weigh more than that maybe the denim weight is measured differently?
Regarding the Levi's, their premium line ain't available and their modern jeans have lots of synthetic fibres... Fit is also an issue, 511s are decent but the rise is low for my body and 501 is tight in the thigh area. Other options are Nautica,Mango, Uniqlo, Zara, Asos,Gap, Mavi and Muji but honestly apart from Uniqlo and Muji, I don't trust the rest of them, i might be wrong tho.

I need some fabric and a fit suggestion.
Well from my experience, little bit shrinkage is bound to happen on natural fabric like cotton so it's better to buy clothes that are kinda 5-10% larger from your desired size. What do you think? And if something has like 1-2 spandex then going for the right size is ok? I've some chinos with 2% spandex, they were a bit tight when they were new but now they are a little bit more comfortable and have more room... Is it because of the Spandex? Losing weight can't be the reason because I'm gaining weight haha. Regarding the wash, I'm considering normal wash care, like using room/weather temperature water+ normal dry without any heat ( it's called tumble try ig) ...
There are some expectations.for example, I bought a pair of jeans and it has like 98 or maybe 98.5% cotton+ 1.5% spandex and guess what happened? It shrank like 1-2 sizes, at the beginning, they were comfortable and i needed to cuff once but now? I can't put them on, even when i was in a fat loss, it was difficult to put my phone in my pocket, length is perfect but they were too tight, i have worn them only few times that's why they have been washing cycle very less and it was normal cycle, like i wash my all jeans ( cold water, tumble dry, then hang them in my house, away from sunlight )

How often do you wash your black jeans?
Well it's not recommended to wash them after every single wear but the main problem is the white cast because of sweat... So any tips or solutions?

Rebuilding My Wardrobe
I'm sorry for asking a similar question. The thing is that i've started my gaining phase and some of the clothes that I used to wear daily don't fit me or they fit tightly. On top of that it's the rainy season and the rain loves me, whenever i go outside, i get wet very frequently so it'd be nice to have more options. Here are the items that i own and they are in good condition:
Chinos:
Black ( the colour has slightly faded but i don't think it's time to buy another black chino)
Biege
Navy Blue
Olive
Jeans
Midnight Blue (really dark shade)
Light Blue
White
Shirts
Solid:
Navy Blue Velvet (can be layered)
Sky blue (linen) ( in the process of stitching)
White ( in the process of stitching and it's most likely a formal one)
White Linen
Pattern
Black Check (can be layered)
Grey striped (I'm trying to remove the stain that's why I'm not sure whether i should count it or not)
T shirts
Black Polo ( looks slightly faded but looks decent overall)
Shoes
Beige chelsea
White leather sneakers ( needs replacement)
I'm looking for timeless items that can be wore in most of the seasons, i don't need warm clothes because i have a good collection and i don't want to get mixed up in the trend.

Is barcode a legit way to check product authenticity?
These days, there are too many fake products and it's hard to tell the difference just by looking at them and most of them would look legit but the difference shows after using them, in the long run.

I'm rebuilding my wardrobe
I bought these items;
Light blue linen shirt
Plain white shirt
Black Flannel check shirt
Navy blue corduroy Shirt ( it's just a texture, the material isn't that thick)
Midnight Blue Denim
Navy Blue Jeans
Olive Chinos
Khaki Chino ( mid shade; in between beige and tan)
Here are some items i already have and they fit decently
Navy chinos
Biege chinos
Black cotton twill trouser
White jeans (a bit tight)
Too many pairs of jeans but most of them are tight and majority of them are light washed
Grey textured shirt
White linen as well as a couple of designer and textured shirt
Some basic half sleeve tees ( Burgundy, black etc)
White minimal sneakers ( quality is bad)
Biege Chelsea
Black polo
I'm thinking of buying these;
Stripped shirt ( but which one? Close pattern or the trendy ones with different colour stripes?)
A solid emerald green or dark blue shirt?
Biege or maybe dark brown t shirt or something else? Because i don't think that I've earth tone shirts or t-shirts.
Short and long sleeve Henleys? I think short sleeve Henley looks better and a full sleeve round neck?
I don't need suits and I'm settled for the winters because I've decent sweatshirts and hoodies on top of that, winters don't last too long.
