Hi everyone, Andrew here, I'm 29, and your stereotypical IT nerd, living in Stockholm, Sweden.
After being interested in menswear for ages, it's finally time to actually partake some.
Hoping to start posting soon, after just being a reader for years.

Howdy people. Brad from the land of Oz. Normally I reside in Bangkok but Covid has me grounded back in my homeland. I have an obsession with sunglasses lol.

Good day all.

Hello Hermann, where do you get your cashmere from? Welcome to the forum!

I like to kep it Scottish if I can, Barrie Johnston's. Pringle, Ballantyne. It's getting more difficult now to get really good quality cashmere. I have been lucky and managed to factory tours on most. For scarves I don't think anythwhere beats Beggs. I try and stick to factory shops for bargains/basics and find ebay a good place for vintage finds.

mycorhizo here ~~

as the name implies, i like mushrooms. a lot!

i'm also a 22 year old neuroscience student (studying neuropharmacology). i'm very broke, but keep a minimal wardrobe and am looking to take the next step and build out my understanding of fashion & design, so that i can dress better/higher-quality and express myself in new ways.

i used to be pretty into fashion, but don't remember much of what i learned. i was in college then and didn't have the money for anything! now, i am really only looking to thrift super cheap stuff, and buy high-quality clothing that i can keep with me for many years. i've also started exploring my gender recently, and am looking to find ways of making myself feel more comfortable in my body & expression. i don't necessarily want to dress super femme, but not masculine either.

some of my favorite things are heeled boots, androgynous skirts, and aesthetics like ann d, julius, kapital, and yohji yamamoto.

excited to be here and to learn more

Hey guys,

I'm already happy i joined, I am 36 and I live in the Caribbean.

I am finally starting to pay more attention to style and trying my best to buy quality over quantity.

I like learning new things so I'm excited to learn more about creating my own personal style.

Hello all! FunkCat here. I've been trying to pay more attention to my style for the last year or two. Mostly street wear and things you'd wear to go out to the bar or dancing. Recently I've started on a weight loss regimen that I have every intention of seeing through. Assuming I do (I will!) I'll be going down at least a size in jackets, shirts, and pants, so this seemed like a good time to join and get advice to update my wardrobe. I'm including a pic of the first Allen Edmonds I ever saw which I purchased at a thrift store a few years ago which is what started me on this journey, though before that I think I had a pretty good eye for color matching and such, but these are the first articles of clothing that I felt really taught me what quality is all about. I rock these when I go out dancing.

Also, right now I'm primarily purchasing shoes and boots, since losing weight won't matter much except maybe losing a half-size in width (I'm currently between a D and an E, about half of D or M shoes fit me just fine, the rest are too tight). So I'll be building my wardrobe from the bottom up, rather than the top down.
