The $5,000 Wardrobe - Page 14

Also man your tastes are going to change. Black/white/grey is a great foundation to build on though. Just don't be afraid to change or try things out on a whim, and don't worry about having things 'on lock' or not.

That's a good point; obviously I wont be all black continually and such but I do want to add different pops of colour in and switch up to different pieces. I'm just starting to build my wardrobe now and like I said when I start posting fits I would love to hear feedback. Thanks guys.

Anyone else want to have a go at this ?

These are so far for me:

2x TOJ leather = $1300
5 Uniqlo oxford button down = $130
Allen Edmonds oxfords in walnut colour = $100
Common projects achilles = $240
Common projects desert boot = $190
2x APC PS (black and blue denim) = $300
1x Topman navy suit = $150
7x basic tee's = $50
5x uniqlo socks = $20
Filson 256 bag = $150
Rayban wayfarers = $100
3x uniqlo sweaters = $150
Tanner Goods belt = $50
Sperry boat shoe navy = $50


Soon to cop items:
SNS herning stark (sale) = $250
Guidi boots (second hand) = $550-600
2x wings + horns chinos (sale) = $300
TOJ varsity = $250-300
Quoddy boat = $200

Total = ~ $4300

$700 more to spend on accessories, scarves, second suit (TaT in charcoal) and a black oxford shoe

rick leather $3000
rick boots $1500
rick double layer $480
3x hanes underwear pack $20

I suppose that RO double layer could be long enough where you don't actually need pants.

I'm over $5700 and still have many unfilled requirements. Obviously the knitwear expenditure doesn't have to be a recurring one, but I'd likely purchase 3 or 4 each season. Will add 2 or 3 pairs of shoes, 1 - 2 jeans, 2 - 3 pants, 4 - 5 shirts each year.

I wanna play.  Here's my wardrobe:

 

Shoes:

black Raf boots - $525

white CP achilles - $280

converse x varvatos hightops - $37

 

Coats:

Filson x Levis jacket - $200 (wear this constantly)

DRKSHDW denim jacket - $450 (in retrospect not the best purchase - who needs two denim jackets?)

Mountain HardWear gore-tex coat - $200 (I use this more for activities but it's my winter coat so I included it)

Schneider coat - $500 (Ebay, still has tags on it since I'm not sure)

 

Pants:

APC NC - $175

Balenciaga cords/jeans - $90

Number (n)ine grey cotton pants - $120 (B&S)

Incotex cords (for work) - $60

H&M black overdyed denim - $40

 

Shirts:

RRL flannel - $95 (doesn't fit me any more )

Yigal Azroel button-up - $50

Raf button-up - $63

6 American Apparel white tshirts - 6x6.50 = $39

 

Sweaters:

Missoni - $175 (Filene's Basement RIP)

 

Total: $3,099

 

I need more shirts, a real winter coat, another sweater and maybe one more pair of boots, but otherwise I've got a pretty decent wardrobe (imo) and I'm way under the budget.  I've got some Gap / Banana Republic stuff that I've had for years and years that I wear (mostly shirts) that I didn't include simply because I've had it for ages, have no idea what it cost, and would like to replace it.

 

Where can you get Varvatos Chucks for $37?

Quote:

Everything on there was the price I purchased it at, not retail.  They were from Mr. Porter, 80% off.

Someone should do one of these for business casual. No jeans no t-shirts etc.

Dark jeans are business casual these days.

Bizubimu = $4,320.00

Spend the rest on beer/weed/porno mags (or a sweet used Honda Spree to pick up chicks on)

Yeah, you'll get so many chicks wearing nothing but your ugly flesh-colored jacket.

Just pair that jacket with some walmart dad jeans with some running shoes and boom - Seinfeld
