Wardrobe Refresh

2022 is a refresh year for my wardrobe. I’ve standardized on Uniqlo Supima Cotton T-Shirts. Despite being pricier than Hanes, Uniqlo’s Supima lasts significantly longer, and after testing both brands, I’ve found Uniqlo maintains its quality over time, making it a better investment.

Updates - 2/7/2022

I adjusted my plan slightly with these new additions:

  • Green Varsity Jacket - $28
  • White Crewneck Sweater (GAP) - $10
  • White Zip Hoodie (GAP) - $35
  • Adidas Superstars Sneakers - $30
  • Blue Jeans (H&M) - $20

Total Spent: $123
Overall Total: $593

Simplifying my shirt and sweater palette to white makes mix-and-match easier.

Updates - 4/8/2022

After a patient search, I added a Green Chore Over Shirt Jacket for $40 and a collegiate green Adidas Track Jacket for my collection. I also expanded my knife collection with a mint green Alox Classic for $38 and a Victorinox Explorer for $20.

Recent Acquisitions:

  • Chore Over Shirt Jacket (Green) - $40
  • Alox Classic - $38
  • Victorinox Explorer - $20

Total Spent: $98
Overall Total: $691

Looking ahead, I’m saving for an Omega x Swatch MoonSwatch—planning on both Moon and Mars editions, each at $280.

Update - 8/17/2022

I added a Timex Mk1 Mechanical for $80. It’s a great alternative to my Casio watches, especially when I feel overdressed with the Omega or cautious with my vintage Zenith.

Update - 9/22/2022

Tech Expenditure:

  • iPhone 14 Pro (after trade-in) - $200
  • Apple Watch SE2 - $329

Tech Total: $529
Overall Total: $1,220

Update - 12/10/2022

Closing out the year, I purchased an Air Jordan 1 Low and a wireless keyboard set for $25, bringing my total to $1,245. I acquired three watches this year but decided to keep only the Apple Watch SE2 after selling the Timex and Omega.
