Streetwear clothes shopping help
where do i get good streetwear esque clothes like graphic tee's, jorts, cargos i can never find any and shorts and pants are usually way too long on me. i also dont want to spend 1000 dollars so nothing too expensive but not reallyyy cheap either. before anybody says thrift stores ive checked before theres usually nothing and there isnt any near me i have to go pretty far to find one.

Hi @Ray! For better answers, include:
- Reference pictures
- Budget in numbers
- Specific measurements
- Openness to buying secondhand and/or online
- Location: country/continent is fine
- Timing/urgency
Me personally I go to pop ups
You may find things you like or you may not find anything at all
But I also use online sites like
Grailed or depop
theres some inspo
ty
ill have to check those out
Do you have a more specific budget range aside from <1000 dollars? Usd?
yea usd
i mean under 90 is probably my budget
but depends on quality too
if its better quality i would be fine with over 90$
The fit of bottoms is way less forgiving, you may have to look into hemming them yourself or taking them to a tailor. Luckily, with the kind of inspo you've posted, you could probably also play with leaving denim jeans unhemmed/distressed at the cut, or cuffing them a few times
A brand I can think of rn is Minga London, they make stuff like this
You might also find stuff at Jaded London
Also like mentioned above online thrifting
I see a lot of clothes like these on Vinted
Vinted is more of an EU thing afaik, ebay would be another platform to check
yea. im fine if they are like baggy but im able to fold them at the bottom if needed it just annoys me when im stepping on the bottoms all the time
My alt friend likes the brand terminald
ill look at all these brands
Yeah thats way too baggy then, you can cut just enough to comfortably cuff them once, they shouldnt fall down far enough to get trod on
try weekday & cheap monday.
And w shopping secondhand online, its good to have your measurements handy. You can note down the size of a piece of clothing that fits you w it laid flat and use that as reference
alright thanks
ok
Not exactly a thrift, but if you live in reasonable distance to a tk/tj maxx, they may have some neat finds
i live right near a tj maxx
ill check them out soon
mostly secondhand but at “up to $1000”: undercover, martine rose, balenciaga (especially the moto/cagole/city bags), marc jacobs heaven, eckhaus latta, dilara findikoglu, house of errors, raf simons, the frankie shop, supreme, acne, junya watanabe, rick owens, vaquera nyc, chopova lowena for prints and skirts, miu miu, sacai, brain dead, jnco, erl, hodakova, kiko kostadinov, lemaire, willy chavaria, shushu/tong maybe, sandy liang for smaller tops, hyein seo too, hysteric glamour, walter van beirendonck, vivienne westwood
ebay/depop/grailed is full of stuff in this genre tho
for less flashy but oversized stuff that can read streetwear if styled well: sunflower, mfpen, sefr, our legacy, auralee, kaptain sunshine, evan kinori
Thank you!
