Brands to research for a smart casual capsule wardrobe
I need some advice on what brands to research to help build a capsule wardrobe that I can wear for my casual teaching job. I started out with the standard uniqlo polo shirts and trousers which was practical but it feels very static/boring and sometimes feels too formal.
I want to find items that can work in a teaching environment whilst also good for “off the clock” during the work week. I live in a hot & humid climate that usually stays around 25-35°c throughout the year, so need light and breathable materials, but don’t want anything with high maintenance (ie. a lot of ironing, as least ironing as possible).
In winter I have more opportunities to wear clothes that I enjoy such as flannels, wax cotton overshirts, corduroy, and mixing it with plain colour tees and carpenter pants or jeans with chelsea boots. In summer it’s too hot to wear those.
As it’s a capsule wardrobe I could consider having a budget of $200 AUD or less for each item.
Any advice or recommendations would be greatly appreciated. I don’t need direct suggestions on items, just brands/styles/materials to research and find possible options.

I found Heroes & Villains ages and like their activewear but wish I could find other brands that do similar.
Any recommendations?

Shoes for bars/clubs
I’ve been looking at my regular rotation of shoes and noticed that I have mostly casual and work shoes but nothing good for going out to bars & clubs. So, I thought I would ask for suggestions to help get the ball rolling and so I can focus my search to what works for me.
Any suggestions?

Good walking shoes, casual or work?
After taking more public transport I am walking more often and my old Converse and other sneakers are maybe not up to the task. I’m looking for some walking shoes that could be used for both casual and in a casual office environment. I have been looking at different options from On and Hoka. Any suggestions or recommendations?
