I've been thinking about making this thread for awhile, and after listing some stuff in B&S, decided to give it a go.
One of the questions I face when buying with a limited budget is is it appropriate to buy workwear oriented clothing in a non workwear centric wardrobe? Although I love the aesthetic itself, I find it increasingly hard to incorporate the pieces of EG and WWM I have into my normal day to day outfits, which are usually a combination of v-neck tees or simple button downs.
I want to buy clothing that can serve as many role as possible - something I can dress up or dress down, or pieces I can easily combine together, and with workwear, I find this is something that simply cannot be done. Too many of the pieces either have an oversized/atypical fit that only works with similar pieces, or have anachronistic details that break up the flow of the silhouette and look out of place in the context of a simple, clean cut outfit.
Anyone else faced this dilemma?
