I want to purge my wardrobe and start afresh.
Generally I prefer sleekness in clothing - I would never wear cargo pants, for example.
What do you suggest, /fa/?

It would be pretty basic stuff to start with.
I should add that I'm in the Far East at the moment - by throwing shit away, I mean shipping it back home, but it has the same effect in the short term.

Follow that guide and you'll be fine

Grab some horizontal stripe tees if you like. Grab basics before going off the deep end

Acne for jeans. The Ace Stay Cash (a treated version if the Ace Cash which only begins to fade after 30 washes) is going to be released in August. Look into scoop necks if you have the body type for them.

Where did you get that info on the Ace Stay Cash?

I already have the Ace Cash and hate washing them due to the massive fading. I've already re-dyed them once.

I was considering copping the Max Stay Cash and getting them tapered but will hold off if they're releasing the Stay Cash.

depends on ur budget
take your time, stock up on basics like quality tshirts, versatile pants, one or two basic outerwear pieces, a pair of sneakers, a pair of shoes, and a pair of booties

I don't see how. It's more attentive than the average guy's jumble of mismatched colours and shitty patterns, but is too spartan for the average fuccboi, meaning it's neither trendy nor ordinary.
I mean, black and white varsities, yes, those are a trend, but monochrome including shades of grey is timeless.

are you fucking retarded the average person doesn't care about clothes no shit putting effort into clothes is going to look "more attentive" and monochrome is a huge trend right now even fucking urban outfitters and banana republic jumped on it. do you even know what timeless means if you wore all monochrome a hundred years ago you'd be out of place in every country. at least do some research before you try to overcompensate for your small dick or shitty income level or whatever by typing this pseudo intellectual garbage

lmao I did it. I took the basics from mr.porter and changed text, derbies, outerwear and watch.

Basically most of the stuff is from ACNE (some sutff are from old collections like the bomber), I wanted to change the chelseas to put less shiny ones butt fuck it.
The only stuff that is not acne are the derbies (RW) and the watch (Junghans) if too poor for this watch go BrAun.

This makes no sense. There is literally no connection between Braun design and the Junghans Max Bill series.

By the way, the latter is false advertising. Bill didn't design a single watch of their current collection. They merely adapted the look of his original drawings.

>> No.8190646

>>8190599
How doesn't it make sense?

They're both pioneering modernist designers with similar design ethos and aesthetics.

>> No.8190770

>>8190599
OP here, it makes sense because Dieter Rams (Braun designer) is known for being the pioneer of minimalist industrial design. I've heard about the fact that Max Bill didn't design it but who cares both as >>8190646 said shared the same views on aesthetics

Err.

Bill emphasized the form and was opposed to industrial production techniques while Rams had simply no choice but to incorporate modern materials and forms – Gugelot led the way.

Also, Rams did not design a single watch for Braun, as far as I know. Hartwein and Lubs are more likely be named here. Look up »Laco« for current designs of the latter.

Ace is also mid rise and just fit me a lot better. I'm usually a 30/34 but I sized up to a 32/34 because I didn't want them as tight. I also have size 12 feet and struggled to get them through the leg opening. They're elasticated though so the 32 still fits great around the waist.
