clothing pieces for college kid outfits

Currently I have grey black light blue stone jeans and light khaki pants, all from levis. Jackets I have one zara puffer, one dark red bomber, some puffy ass blue columbia puffer for the cold, one brown varsity, some ugly brown adidas jacket, one nice pink shacket and one cream overshirt. Absolutely suck at tees and mid layer, random graphic tees and two sweaters, one nice cozy turtleneck and one nice round neck knit. I have a lot of sneakers but a lot of them are hard to style (teal high top af1, sacai tan blazers, some yellow ish forum highs, some green/brown nbs etc. I cant really style) but I have white 97s 90s bone sail dunks jordan 4 sbs and black vans brown converse ultraboosts etc. that should be more stylable. But I don't have the all white sneaker and the all black sneaker. No loafers or boots, no birken sandals or classy things. Hoodies I have dark green grey nikes grey or cream I think essentials some black graphic ones and some random champion ones joggers I have black grey etc. One really nice dark maroon one thats pretty much it. What do I need to make sure I can build nice outfits and get the most bang for the buck?

I really like black chuck 70s and white reebok club Cs for my white and black sneakers

mudamudamuda•9mo ago
I was about to get club Cs Af1 does boost height but I think they are too common

Keep an eye out for good prices, got mine for $65 from an independent seller on Amazon
mudamudamuda
mudamudamuda•9mo ago
I saw some for really cheap like 50 ish
Benji
Benji•9mo ago
Mine are the club c 85 vintage btw
mudamudamuda
mudamudamuda•9mo ago
But there are so many variants I dont know which is the best leather Yeah thats the thing Vintage is better no?
Benji
Benji•9mo ago
I don't think the leather matters, more so the color scheme/design
mudamudamuda
mudamudamuda•9mo ago
Ahh Cause that one also had some blue Kinda weird looking But I am confused at my tops/mid layer I think
mudamudamuda
mudamudamuda•9mo ago
Because I don't like the super street look but also not the super dressy look cause it's hard to maintain everyday

Just to get a feel of things because from your initial assessment you came across as very lost but now you show here a bit more of knowledge: Are you into fashion as a hobby?
mudamudamuda
mudamudamuda•9mo ago
See all my life I used to wear whatever I had lol Zero sense of outfits and colors

But now I am trying to get into it Like the other day for the first time I wore some nice black joggers with a green hoodie and green shoes and my backpack was green too

Benji•9mo ago
You're in need of blank tees?
mudamudamuda
mudamudamuda•9mo ago
So my outfit kinda matched And that felt amazing lmao
Benji
Benji•9mo ago
I recommend Uniqlo U but don't get too many blank tees cuz they can get boring
mudamudamuda
mudamudamuda•9mo ago
I guess I don't have nice blank tees as undershirt
Benji
Benji•9mo ago
Wdym by undershirt
mudamudamuda
mudamudamuda•9mo ago
Not undershirt Like the tee you show with your zip open So I guess plain white and black should do the job
Benji
Benji•9mo ago
Yah Uniqlo U in plain white and black
mudamudamuda
mudamudamuda•9mo ago
So for now I guess plain black white tees and club c
Benji
Benji•9mo ago
And long sleeve t in white and heather gray
mudamudamuda
mudamudamuda•9mo ago
Hmm okay
Benji
Benji•9mo ago
Could layer the short sleeve tees over the long sleeves ones
mudamudamuda
mudamudamuda•9mo ago
Are the polo sweaters/long sleeve collared button less sweaters hard to style

I will not speak for this community because I'm here a short time myself, but it seems that old MFA had a real belief on an universal basic wardrobe that, although it has been revamped for 2023, is much less "enforced" as people noticed that what is basic varies in culture and context. Dunno if you're making your choices based on that.
mudamudamuda
mudamudamuda•9mo ago
Nah I just like these ig Like my essentials hoodie and sb jordans are cool but they don't appeal to me as much as a long polo sweater black jacket and club Cs If that makes sense

I can't seem to find that guide yet but it had a good paragraph that helped me (I'm also early on this thing)
mudamudamuda
mudamudamuda•9mo ago
The guides confuse me lol

Gatan do rock•9mo ago
Is that we're always dressing to make some impression on some group
mudamudamuda
mudamudamuda•9mo ago
Thats true
Gatan do rock
Gatan do rock•9mo ago
And it's good to stop and check what impression you're trying to make and on whom
mudamudamuda
mudamudamuda•9mo ago
Yeah I feel like Im going through that phase a bit Cause I used to just wear gym clothes everywhere But now Im looking at people around me and they have good fits
Benji
Benji•9mo ago
Long sleeve polos are cool Tho they may be harder to figure out as a beginner? The cotton knit ones j crew sells aren't bad (tho they're short sleeve)
mudamudamuda
mudamudamuda•9mo ago
Yeah they are kinda harder to style Jacket wise am I good tho or am I missing stuff I also ordered a patagonia retro x fleece
Benji
Benji•9mo ago
That's a nice gorpware item Whatcha think about chunky sweaters?
mudamudamuda
mudamudamuda•9mo ago
Like the super thick knit ones?
Benji
Benji•9mo ago
Yah tho not necessarily super thick
mudamudamuda
mudamudamuda•9mo ago
I love the ones where the round neck is like very solid and stays strong and thick I dont like the loose neck ones
Benji
Benji•9mo ago
Look up Shetland sweaters
Benji
Benji•9mo ago
This is the j crew knit polo I was thinking about but it's sold out anyway
No description
mudamudamuda
mudamudamuda•9mo ago
Thats nice yeahh But what to wear with this tho
Benji
Benji•9mo ago
As knit polos go it's easier to style cuz full placket and some texture in the design
mudamudamuda
mudamudamuda•9mo ago
You need slim pants for this right Cause my jeans are more relaxed casual fit not really skinny And I don't have chinos 😭
Benji
Benji•9mo ago
Not at all Avoid slim pants at this stage imo. More of an advanced item to style cuz they're off trend
mudamudamuda
mudamudamuda•9mo ago
Thats good then But I should get some chinos or slacks right Or are jeans fine
Benji
Benji•9mo ago
Not necessarily Jeans are great Tho you prob want some sort of other pants tho it may not necessarily be chinos You said you have light khaki pants?
mudamudamuda
mudamudamuda•9mo ago
Yeah only those I saw some old navy pants on sale for super cheap not sure how they are

Gatan do rock•9mo ago
Do you want to fit in and look handsome, or do you want to look different? Cozy, sexy, cool or more than one? Are you trying to rebel? Rebel from what? Gender norms? The establishment? Your parents? etc.
mudamudamuda
mudamudamuda•9mo ago
Not a rebel, I guess just fit in, not sexy but more cozy/clean casual but not too cozy

Gatan do rock•9mo ago
Just saying this because I also went here looking for the basics and then noticed first that what this community considers as basics is a bit different from what is the standard where I live for men my age on my class
Benji
Benji•9mo ago
What type of pants are they? I'd usually avoid Old Navy lol tbh
mudamudamuda
mudamudamuda•9mo ago
Some levis tapered pants Chinos I think
Gatan do rock
Gatan do rock•9mo ago
and that I didn't actually want to look basic I was just trying to get easy answers to how to look good lol
mudamudamuda
mudamudamuda•9mo ago
I used to wear chinos a lot actually but then started wearing sweatpants and got too used to them
Benji
Benji•9mo ago
Whatcha think about Dickies pants?
mudamudamuda
mudamudamuda•9mo ago
Like workwear? Not really a fan of like heavy cargo or workwear but normal pants are nice id say Although I've never tried them, just basing off looks
Benji
Benji•9mo ago
Dickies 874 are more subtle work wear imo

I would spend a bit of time of conscious peoplewatching what the group you are trying to fit in (seems to be students in your class) wear like on my college we have 4 campus within 5 minutes of eachother
mudamudamuda
mudamudamuda•9mo ago
The people I hang out with are like strictly three clothing groups lol, one is like loafers slim pants shirts and ralph lauren other is like new balance sweats hoodies and street and the last is whatever you put together which is where I fall Im scared of getting these pants cause I feel like I'll mess up the ironing
Gatan do rock
Gatan do rock•9mo ago
But the business students dress mostly preppy, the physics and math students go with low-budget basics, the compsci students are either completely senseless or into basic monochromatic streetwear (which is mid-budget basics where I live) and the biology students usually have more creativity and fashion taste so they're not as homogenous
mudamudamuda
mudamudamuda•9mo ago
Like office pants
Benji
Benji•9mo ago
Nahh dw about that
mudamudamuda
mudamudamuda•9mo ago
They have that one line in the middle right When you get them new After wearing that line goes away and I can't iron it back Also dont you need like shoes with these pants and not sneakers?
Gatan do rock
Gatan do rock•9mo ago
So if I went preppy basics into a math class I would just look like a fratboy i.e.
Benji
Benji•9mo ago
Um I don't agree with this stuff about majors and what they wear tbh lol I really wouldn't worry about that Not necessarily
Gatan do rock
Gatan do rock•9mo ago
It's an example on how clothes differ on context (which happens to be a real life example)
mudamudamuda
mudamudamuda•9mo ago
Yeah Ik that, thats why I feel like the cozy casual but clean look goes with my context From clubbing to business casual events And house parties But yeah I do feel the need of club cs That fixes a lot of things lol I also liked these a lot https://www.newbalance.com/pd/550/BB550PHD-D-105.html?ecid=ps_Google_pla_196652956892_19759027876&crtp=paidsearch&ncr=true&gad_source=1&gclsrc=ds But dont think theyll serve the purpose of white af1 or the vintage club cs

Gatan do rock•9mo ago
(of a public university in Brazil which usually house a good diversity on students and also social strata. Don't take it wholesale to majors in UK or something because then the example won't work) If this is what works for you go ahead, unfortunately I won't be of much help in individual pieces

As you have a puffer and you're getting a fleece Thinking climbing pants could be cool. What do you think of gramicci climbing pants?
