Sorry for wording that badly.I guess i was just wondering if I should just get basics like black and gray,or would something like red be a good choice?

With 2 or 3 sweaters, you can't go wrong with navy and dark gray. Maybe get another one in burgundy for a change up.

You looking for brands? Margiela makes nice sweaters (still waiting for my mmm vneck

). I have an Acne assymetric one and a YMC one that i really love fit wise as well. I don't know your style so it's hard to recommend brands or styles based on your personal aesthetic and price range.

2 charcoal (js, fp)
2 red (js and patrik e)

1 burgundy/wheat stripe (mm)
1 houndstooth (vb)
1 marbled navy/black on the way
1 olive (ndg)
1 black multistripe on the way (yy)

There are 4 cardis mixed in there.

Did I? I'm sure I forgot a couple, but I think I may have passed on that. It has to be special for me to cop and maybe it wasn't. I might actually cop a 2 sided purple js soon too that's reversible to magenta on the inside, I can't stop.

I just remember because the SA showed it to me when I was at the presale. Or maybe I'm mixed up.
