I've decided that skimping on basics because no one else can tell the difference anyway is the ultimate in what Kiya likes to refer to as peasant status. Mixing and matching applied to all parts of your wardrobe is one thing, but wearing bunch of cheap basics and then flossing with a couple of expensive, high visibility pieces is pretty lame, imo. Basics are the one thing that you really do for yourself, fashionwise. Unless you are close up and personal, no one is going to be able to tell the subtlety in the fabric, construction, wash. Of course, everyone is going to be able to tell that you are wearing a Rick Owens leather, or whatever.Originally Posted by LA Guy
Second pet peeve: taking care to keep your everyday clothes in good condition is the opposite of cool. You should do that for suits and shoes that you may wear to a wedding or a funeral. Everything else should be unsellable after about a week of wear. They are clothes. They don't deserve to be revered.
I am going to do yardwork later today in a Rag&Bone MIJ sweatshirt (super comfy), 5EP jeans, a KMW belt, and Common Projects.
I disagree to a point here - some companies make their basics with the purpose of blending in well with designer clothing and not standing out at all. i.e. Uniqlo - that's their whole business model, and I think they do it well.

I interpreted LA Guy's point as, don't buy stuff you will only wear 6 times in your life because of fear of damaging it or getting it dirty. If that's the case, the large amount of money you spent on that thing would be better put to use elsewhere.

Well I agree that it's nice to have good, high quality basics - as he said, that's the stuff you wear for YOU. No one's going to come and give you compliments on your Rick basics, but you're still going to know what you're wearing and it'll have the subtle details and fine fabric of whatever designer you like.
