Fit and color/pattern/texture matching. From my perspective, "fit" is a less involved version of silhouette so that is something I continue to work on.

I try not to neglect any single aspect but I probably pay more attention to my jeans, shoes, and outerwear then to my shirts and accessories.

I don't have much loyalty to any brand. I judge everything on a piece by piece basis.

Not really.

Styleforum has tought me to appreciate the finer details in basic pieces to the extent that I am no longer attracted to most fashion-forward clothing.

Well, I don't really have any limits that I confine myself to, but a quick glance at my clothing purchases within the past year shows the following pattern.

Tees: 20 - 100
Shirts: 150 - 200
Sweaters: 85 - 200
Jeans: 200 - 250
Outerwear: 800 - 1000
Shoes: 125 - 400
Sportjacket: 400 (only bought 1)

I have no problem mixing different price ranges and brands. Saucemaster does a great job of this.

my inspiration comes from people i see. if i see somebody who is dressed really good, i try and pick out what i like and incorporate it into my own style.

color is the most important aspect in my style. it has to match and show my feelings

Inspiration: seeing people who are dressed cool or seeing a piece of clothing that looks neat. Focus: silhouette, usually aim for sleekness without emphasizing the weird bits like knees. Synthese made me want to do more loose/hangy stuff but I own zero clothes for that currently. Brands: Designs would be the main thing. Common Projects and Naked and Famous seem to be good at matching my ideal jeans/shirt/sneaker/wallet/almost everything they design. I see it as having similar taste as the designers but it's probably brand loyalty as well. Drawn towards stuff that's made in Canada/Canadian. Price: Mix of being willing to pay X amount for certain items, or breaking that because I keep thinking about it and can't find an alternative. Mostly buy basics because I wear them lots; most edgy stuff I like is expensive and I can't imagine wearing it often enough to justify the price.

The perfect balance of when people can't decide whether I'm stylish, a slob, nerd, mentally ill, or homeless.
