get everything second hand (ebay, grailed, thrift stores) and watch out for sales/coupon codes

JCrew always has sales. Browse their racks for investment pieces that'll never go out of style, various articles of clothing - button up shirts, sweaters, sweatshirts - that you can rotate through each week.

knock knee:scust:

Lay off of us knock kneed brehs...:mjcry:

OP, Les Freres Joachim were these black guys from Paris that I followed years ago when I first started getting into my style. Their style has evolved from classic and timeless to a more trendy minimalist now but their old stuff is still good.

You don't buy cheap on purpose, you buy in small pieces and create a full wardrobe out of it. Slowly buy so pick up a piece here and there.

Always buy good jackets and shoes, boots. Buy quality nice jeans/pants. Keep your shirts simple. Working out and fitting in your clothes >>>

Damn I've gotten lazy in my entire, like I'm going to the gym all day in compression/and sweats :ohhh: Some days like Christian Bale in The Big Short :mjlol:

of course.

these are curated photos.

when it comes to stylist like these, you eat the flesh and spit out the bone.

take the style cues that you like and apply it to your own and discard the rest.

but there are some foundational things that I was getting at.....like fit, accents, textures, etc.

you can get a whole suit for cheap online. order it a little bigger, cause it's probably made in asia somewhere, if not name brand.. then take it to a tailor.

i bought a perry ellis suit last year for $130.. got it hemmed up for another $10 and that shyt work. it's an expensive habit when you throw in shoes, shirts and tie's. but start off with the suit, then change up the other 3. then buy another... then buy more of the other 3... and so on

soon you'll be sporting jackets with jeans, full suits, pants and a top, tie or no tie.. sometimes throw a vest in... but you gotta get your bases down first before the accessories.. and no.. it's not gonna be cheaper than a tee and jeans... ever

I wouldn't mind wearing some of this shyt but it's too hot for this shyt. Idk how people wear this shyt voluntarily in warm weather, but I could get some of those fits off in the fall, which is why it's my favorite season.

Like someone else said, the only fit in the OP that is good is the one in the middle with the scarf- but I don't like the scarf with it. Plus I wouldn't wear a scarf unless I needed to.

Some of the fits posted later are cool, but I am not trying to wear that shyt and it's still summer.

Even if that means making sure your white tee is on point. That has nothing to do with age. Matter fact it gets more important the older you are
FACTS
the ultimate fit for me is just a crisp white tee/shirt with black pants
if you can make that work you'll be good for life
