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.

In-Year Changes

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.
