I've worn the same black jeans for like 5 years now, those with interchangeable shirts, normally white tees. When its cold I rock a north face when its not I rock a fred perry. Need to get some new clothes but that's long, I'll spend like 200£ then the week after decide I don't like of it anymore.

Yeah, uniqlo is super handy. They don't arse around trying to make their stuff customized and unique and branded, which actually makes them fairly unique. No crapshite logos or attempts to jump on trends or produce a budget version of someone else's brand.[1]

Also Next for jeans, Fat Face for tops, and places like Reiss, All Saints, White Stuff, Austin Reed, Dogfish etc for picking up nice stuff in the sales.


[1] I had to do a load of menswear shopping at once when I got a new job with a casual dress code, and it's quite interesting to spot which cheap stores are trying to copy which upmarket ones. So Burtons are shamelessly biting SuperDry, Next can't decide whether they want to be Austin Reed or All Saints...

Mad thing about that (which I found out recently) is that SuperDry are a brand pretending to be Japanese when it's actually a few northerners just biting the ot logos and graphics from Japan.

fat face for jeans, armani for boxers and boss polo shits.

I'd rather have a few nice bits than loads of crap which looks like dog shit/falls apart after one wash.

I was gonna start a thread on this but this'll do.

I've had enough of this dubstep-head-skate-hipster shit.

Supreme hats (turn upwards), Obey bags, turn-up 3/4 chinos, plimsoles, zip hoodies with the fucking white ties...tied together around your fucking neck? WHY?!

I know there must be countless offenders on his, sort it out.

i might not like what people wear sometimes but man, im 23, im not gona question WHY people wear stuff just yet... i'll save that till i really dont get what kids are wearing, maybe when im like 50 or sumat

for the moment, its probably a case of gettin on with your own thing

PET HATE TIME: people who say ''oh i dont care what clothes i wear or what i look like'' (paraphrase obv) - EVERYONE FUCKING CARES, some people care more than others though.

505's have a straight lower leg, 501's have a tapered bottom opening. 505's are also lower rise i believe. haven't tried on a pair of 501's in years.

I'm not questioning their motives (pussy, hipsterdom, belonging, superiority?), call it a pet hate. These apparent forward-thinkers dressing identically, down to the accessories, laughable.
