Im from germany, my mother just got into "cash". So im looking for some new style. What colors should I match? Would ralph lauren do a job? etc. Like starting the wardrobe from the beginning

#fashion-guides is a good place to start Specifically from the top Generally tho, you shouldn’t buy a whole wardrobe immediately and should rather slowly buy stuff to figure out what you like without wasting too much time or money

@Guatemalean Toupee Really appreciate it, thanks mate

The basic wardrobe is a good place to start but go slow and only buy a couple items at a time, don't do a huge purchase all at once or you might end up not liking any of it

@xzrex 21 is really young. Try to just get yourself some nicer foundational pieces and then build style on top of that. Tons of info available here on what to took for

Casual stuff, like sweather and under it a bus shirt, or just casual buss outfit, some mcqueens on top, good watch and thats it What would you recommend?

I like white t-shirts with dark blue jeans. Shoes are also nice. You are already beyond where I have developed my wardrobe to.

Oh gosh it’s hard to give such exact recs. Polo Ralph Lauren is a great starting point for looking put together as a young business person! Norse Projects sounds like it could be in your vision. Or A.P.C Maybe post some pictures of outfits you do like

I'm also looking towards putting together a business outfit, however on a much more tight budget than yours. My advice would be... To look at shoes. I really like what Loake has on offer and periodically check ebay for them second hand.

@xzrex I don’t know if they have Topman in Germany but I remember them having a lot of the slimmer fit trousers and things you’re posting here

Been scrolling for 3mins, ngl and dont wanna look like some idiot or smh, but didnt like anything since it wasnt perfect fit, it was all baggy/oversized fit
Guatemalean Toupee
Yeah the trend rn is definitely for roomier fits

You can disregard this entirely because what you like is what you like, but these are all pretty dated looks. By "perfect fit" it seems you gravitate towards skinny fit, so finding modern designs in those cuts will be a bit harder.

Im more into "old money fashion"
Affluence
Affluence5mo ago
You can 100% do it, but you'll spend a lot of time looking for stuff.
jfarrell468
jfarrell4685mo ago
Yeah, skinny looks are on their way out.
Affluence
Affluence5mo ago
I'd even go as far as saying truly skinny like that have been solidly out for a long time.

circleframes5mo ago
I think finding some Polo would be great for you then yeah.
jfarrell468
jfarrell4685mo ago
Plenty of people here into dressy, "ivy" stuff. What you might call "old money"
xzrex
xzrex5mo ago
Even tho im not skinny, going to gym, 85kg 1.9m height. Just want something to fit me perfect so it looks good on me, baggy isnt really my thing
jfarrell468
jfarrell4685mo ago
"perfect fit" is very subjective
xzrex
xzrex5mo ago
anything else you would recommend besides rl
Affluence

Honestly, i think hilariously vintage/seconhand will be the best place to find this look and by vintage I mean like buff exchange/plato's 8-10 year vintage
Guatemalean Toupee
Ur kinda right tho there’s a ton of slim fit stuff in the thrift stores
Affluence
Affluence5mo ago
Ebay will be full of mango/cos/jcrew in skinny fits from that era
xzrex
xzrex5mo ago
Mango, zara etc, im trying to avoid it. Never bought there since its pretty low quality

Maybe Todd Synder and Gant?

Todd Synder is good, gant not really my thing, gant in germany isnt really seen as a good thats what I was looking for ❤️
Affluence
Affluence5mo ago
Sandro probably the closest match
xzrex
xzrex5mo ago
Looks good What would you recommend with colors matching? Looking for 3 to 5 matches max. Like black, white, navy blue, beege or smh?
Guatemalean Toupee
I mean yeah those would all go together but look kinda boring Even if you don’t like how the clothes are sized you can look in waywt for what colors people are wearing
Affluence
Affluence5mo ago
the old MFA classics were olive, navy, burgundy, and white
