2020 Near Perfect Wardrobe - 49 items

Ideal Wardrobe Update for 2020

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.

Brand Preferences

Uniqlo and Adidas

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.

Focus Areas

Shoes and Jackets

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

Shoe Choices

I'm starting simply to find the ideal shoes and plan to stick with:

Converse All Star
Adidas Superstar
Adidas Samba
Nike or Air Jordan
Possibly a 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.

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.
