I am so sick of this shit. Every kid who one day decides he's into AESTHETICS AND DESIGN ZOMG wants this same shit.
You want it? Here's how you get it.

>1. Move into a glass and concrete apartment. Or better yet, get sent to a supermax prison. They're stark and minimalist and made with glass and concrete.

>2. wear special glasses that make everything you look at seem like it was shot on Kodak portra 400

>3. Look at nothing but tumblr and magazine adverts for 20 hours every day until you hallucinate giant white sans serif letters into every scene of your real life.

One pair of pants
One pair of boots

oh and shoes would be probably a pair of sk8-his or something with a similar silhouette.

not warm at all. those are pig skin and my feet are constantly cold when i wear them and it's chilly. with that said guidi has tons of offerings in tons of different leathers so i'm sure that you could find something warmer if you wanted to, or just double up on socks - they are some of the more comfortable shoes i own and will stretch to fit you.

first shoe that came to mind that fit the palette, honestly (mostly black, streak of white). also i like the silhouette of tapered sweatpants with high tops.

have never owned a pair, tho, it was just a placeholder shoe. what would you recommend?

The words "minimalism" needs to be reworked. It's too heavy and definitely does not promote the feeling that it is trying to describe. That is why I have proposed a change to the word.

From now on, everyone will be expected to say "min" instead of the outdated "minimalism." In an age where less is more, the word min would serve as a fantastic replacement, as it is both aesthetically pleasing and accurate, to the bulky minimalism. As an added bonus, min covers the words "minimalism," "minimalist," "minimalistic," and any other variation of the root.

I don't do minimal very well. I like the fabric of a sleeve to pour off my shoulder, I like cashmere to drape around my neck, I like swaths of leather that rumple as you move. I'm restrained, but I wouldn't say I dress in a minimal manner.

I finally started buying designer clothing last year after doing alot of research, thinking I would now be able to look exactly how I wanted to.

The reality was that it's easy to develop taste for what you like and think looks good, but it's very difficult to actuallly execute outfits irl.

At first I wanted to establish a solid foundational "uniform" I would wear all the time, but made some bad impulse purchases which set me back.

Then I started purchasing "grail" "statement" type pieces, they are very nice but without good foundational basics it's very difficult to use / be versatile with them, pic related is the only acceptable looking fit I've been able to put together with the Hakamas and even then it's quite boring imo

Had lots of periods of cognitive dissonance, wanted to just go full out crazy with CdG and Undercover pieces. I really love the witty, subtle sophistication of Yohji but also love what could be considered on the polar opposite - loud, crazy, and creative clothing. When I feel angry or indifferent I want to buy a UC leather jacket and a nice pair or skinny jeans to wear every single day for years, but after the mood swings and impulses I always come back to Yohji.

Right now I'm trying to go back to establishing a single uniform. Selling and throwing away alot of stuff. I own around 10 pieces of clothing atm, of which only maybe around 4-5 get regular wear. Planning to get rid of everything unnecessary and start over.

The road to being /fa/ is long and difficult :(

I tried coats with it but the heavy fabric kills the airy silhouette of the pants (Really thin, Intended for Summer) and it just makes it look like a weird skirt. I think what I need is a medium length cardigan or a 3-4 buttoned oversized blazer

Really scared to buy things though because of previous post - cop regret lol working with oversized / loose fitting clothing is so difficult for me because I'm tall and skinny

[Anonymous No.7579487]

>>7579466
you'll be okay. you're always learning. I've bought 11 pieces so far, and you are right its a lot harder than it looks ( unless you have a trustfund).

In some ways I regret some of my pieces but in others I feel serene in knowing that I can pair them with future pieces.

You're learning a lot more than you give yourself credit for.

What should I add next? I think a nice cardigan would be good. I also need decent sweatpants.

I have a few random generic items I wear around the house that I didn't list. Or stuff that I am intending to get rid of.

My budget is limited but I've been filtering money into buying a few nicer items as you can see from my list. Might sell a couple bottoms too and get some outlier technical fabric pants.
