Great points, I’ve edited my first post and added the fashion Im going after.Vamos wrote: ↑Thu Sep 28, 2023 11:39 amI think you should first be clear about what "dress code" or style you want to use privat and at work. Street fashion, like @Radical for example, smart casual, the “old money style” that I introduced aka Mediterranean chic. And then build your wardrobe specifically and strategically instead of just going shopping.kratjeuh wrote: ↑Wed Sep 27, 2023 9:03 pmGoing out shopping alone is difficult, I’ll probably hit up @foducossy42 s fashion consultant up after my trip.
Need a couple outfits for a possible photoshoot here and to look better on the street. Added 2 outfits that I like.
Red shirt and white pants are together
The blazer is normally with a shirt and pants but it wasn’t in my size.
15-20 solid and well-thought-out items of clothing are enough. You or we in general should also ask yourself/ourself the question of quality. Fast fashion is relatively cheap, but it only looks good for a short time. For example, wear a polo from H&M, Zara, ... and then one from Tommy Hilfiger for example and you will see that the H&M polo looks good in the store, but day by day it falls apart and loses its shape/look, the Hilfiger will look good for years if you treat it well.
You can often see quality and, above all, it is more durable. For example, you don't need the trench coat from Burberry for 2k euros, but you also don't need the one from H&M for 70€ either. There are solid models in the €150-€400 price range that you can enjoy for longer. Of course you can buy T-Shirts, underwear, socks and clothing that you rarely wear, but it shouldn't be the standout pieces. In the end, it's even cheaper to have a wardrobe made up of a few well-thought-out, high-quality items than to have to go shopping for new items every new season.
You can also get some extremely good, second-hand clothing on sites like Vinted. Of course, with the small risk that you won't be able to send them back if they don't fit (don't forget the tailor btw). This week i got completely new, unworn chelsea boots from Hudson London there for €35, which would otherwise cost €200+.
High end clothes are a fact. In fact all my shirts and shirts are from high end fashion stores and I definitely have stuff at home that I can already implement
