I'm getting closer to achieving my ideal wardrobe with a few adjustments planned for 2020. I'm finding that Earth Tones (dark green, light brown/tan), burgundy red, and dark purple complement my style well. I'm planning to reduce my reliance on dark blue in favor of these colors to create a better balance with my black and white basics.

 
The Brands

Brand Preferences

I'm increasingly pleased with Uniqlo, which is becoming a larger part of my wardrobe. Adidas is also a favorite for sneakers and sporty jackets. I envision that in a few years, 50–60% of my 51 main clothing items will be from Uniqlo and Adidas.

The Strategy

Focus Areas

I'll keep my shirts and pants basic, dedicating most of my budget to shoes and jackets.

Shoe Choices

Starting simply to find the ideal shoes, I plan to stick with:

  • →Converse All Star
  • →Adidas Superstar
  • →Adidas Samba
  • →Nike or Air Jordan
  • →Possibly Puma or Onitsuka 66
Outerwear

I'm considering adding a Harrington jacket and possibly a suede or leather jacket but need more research and experimentation.

The Plan

I'm set on the following color combinations for my wardrobe:

Shirts — 20

Updates

April 13, 2020

I simplified my t-shirt selection to just white and black, skipping grey. I also dropped the fleece from my inventory and am now seeking a blue Adidas track jacket.

July 4, 2020

I picked up my 7th pair of sneakers, the Nike Air Force 1 OG White. I think it's time to pause my sneaker acquisitions for now.

51 main items, 93 total — earth tones, Uniqlo & Adidas, with budget focused on shoes and jackets.

Sony MDR-ZX100 vs ZX-110 vs ZX-310 Series Headphones

Gear Review Budget Audio Face-off: Sony ZX Series Review Comparing the ZX-100, ZX-110, and ZX-310 for your everyday carry ~3 Models ~$10–$20 Price 2.5+ Years Longevity Table of Contents ① Build Quality ② Cost Comparison ③ Sound Quality ④ Overall Value ⑤ Upgrade Path Section I Build Quality The Sony ZX series headphones primarily feature a durable plastic construction. My ZX-100 has lasted over 2½ years, enduring countless tosses into my backpack and car without any issues. However, the lower-end ZX-100 and ZX-110 models have a significant downside: poor-quality earpads.   The Earpad Problem Over time, the earpads on the ZX-100 and ZX-110 disintegrate, leaving vinyl flakes that stick to your hair and ears. The ZX-310 comes with upgraded earpads that don't suffer from this problem — a clear win in the build department. Tip: If your earpads start to flake, it is a sign of material degradation; consider replacing the cushions or upgrading to a model with more durable synthetic lea...

Gear Review Finding the Perfect Fit: My G-Shock Journey A deep dive into balancing form, function, and wrist presence. 4 Models Tested 2 Favorite Series 1 Non-negotiable Feature Table of Contents ① The Quest for Size ② Best Compromise: G9000 Mudman Series ③ Feature Needs: G/GW vs DW ④ The Lineup: Models at a Glance ⑤ Final Verdict: 5600 Wins Section I The Quest for Size After trying out several G-Shock models, I've developed a better sense of the specific features and design elements I appreciate most. While features are always a plus, my main priority is size. Here's how some of the models I've tried stack up. 5600 Series For overall size, the 5600 series stands out as a favorite due to its compact, comfortable form. It's slim, lightweight, and fits well on my wrist without being too bulky. Although the 6900 series provides the benefit of a well-placed front illumination button, the 5600 remains the ideal size for everyday wear.   Section II Best Compromise: G900...
