Shoes, Shorts, and Shirts
Shoes: Looking for an alternative to AF1, I like the chunky low top look and don’t want anything slim like Common Projects or Stans. Was looking at New Balance BB550s but with the mesh part of the upper not sure how easy that will be to keep clean. Budget is under $150.
Shorts: Looking for a good brand of shorts that look like swim trunks and have those nice floral designs but NO MESH LINER. I believe they are called board shorts? Or just polyester cargo shorts with nice designs? I’m unsure exactly. Preferably less than $50 per pair of shorts.
Tees: I know there’s a billion threads on it but this is not the one for resparking the age old “best white tee” discussion. I just want a few white tees that are 100% cotton, don’t show nipple, and will be “good enough” for the time being. No $50 white tees that are spun in a special way or whatever, yes make fun of me for being in a tight financial situation. Knowing me my lady white tees will get a dirt stain within a week of owning them and I will lose my mind. I’m willing to spend upwards of $25 per tee but that would be a painful purchase unless the quality is definitely there. NO BOXY FITS.

Uniqlo supima tee for white tee, Maybe LA Apparel otherwise?
Board shorts seems like the right term there. Patagonia makes a short called Baggies that they have in some floral patterns, with and without mesh
Reebok Club C, anything by Karhu could be good for shoes!
550s are also great and super comfy, I had two pairs and didn’t have any issues keeping em clean
honestly it's easier to just find a pair of shorts and cut out the liner imo
people do that with Patagonia baggies all the time
+1
honestly most t-shirt threads lead to either uniqlo supima, uniqlo airism or merz b schwanen depending on budget (the former in this case)
Sadly up to $25 a tee now but I’m willing to spend that since it seems decent quality
Thank you
I looked at those but didn’t want to cut out the mesh, but if that’s the move then so be it
Only concern is the 5” inseam since im 6’0 and 6” inseams have looked goofy on me in the past
I buy white 100% cotton tshirts from Costco. 6 for about $25. A bit long in the body though.
I’m not sure if you mean 5” is too short or too long but patagonia does make baggies in a 7” (called longs) or you could try women’s baggies which go to 2.5” (and contain no liner).
if you mean kirkland blanks they can be hit or miss in terms of amount of nip showing
Yes, I see
5" is too short
ah patagonia longs are nice thank you for the suggestion
Might do this with normal swim trunks because not $70 xd
Hm some Club C's seem stocky some seem a little slimmer I'll have to explore, thanks for the suggestion
Not sure the exact model but on foot they were very similar to nb550 IME for profile
thanks
do you think walmart swim trunks with the mesh cut out would do?
i would sooner get my nuts cut up by netting than support walmart and it's fucked up business practices (source: worked for walmart for six years it really does suck lol)
this is to say: yes but i personally would just find a pair of baggies or pac sun swim shorts on ebay for roughly the same price and cut out that liner
