Sorry, my post was mostly tongue in cheek. I recently read a book that was set in 1930's Berlin, that was about jazz musicians, so I've been thinking about the imagery it created. And I'm somewhat interested in the fashions from that era. But I'm thinking less flashy, three piece suits, and something more along the lines of the hairstyles, long overcoats, muted colors, etc.

I'm looking to go in a more austere direction, narrowing my focus onto fit, construction and solid pieces. That means no more busy pieces like pocket squares, bracelets, beads or loudly patterned/coloured things in general. I don't want anything that would distract from the overall silhouette.

PipersSon... you make a reasonable and thoughtful point... I mean you can only wear one pair of shoes at a time and having a few in the rotation will help their longevity. Personally I don't know if I could ever reach the level of zen "letting it go" as you say. My clothing changes w/ my mood, environment, season (obviously) and I love finding new things and incorporating those in w/ the classic older pieces. And I'll admit I enjoy shopping and I can wear most anything I want so I really can't limit myself too much. I think your right, that having a clearer idea of one's style can be beneficial in a way, but also losing the child-like curiosity and adventure of clothing, which should always be fun, is too dear.

Haha I'll be in Europe here soon, figure it'll be more acceptable there

More ervell. band of outsiders. Maybe I try Jil, Schneider. More taper pants, longer and less cropped, dress shoes. Dressy but not "dressed up". Then again I want to wear Junya, Visvim because they are just too cool when i see them in person. Maybe I wear jeans again.

I want to look like a down on his luck 1930's jazz musician just trying to get by and pick up some dames. But you know, current.

Should go for jazz musician who is looking awesome

I'm moving from a colorful preppy style(mens clothing forums) to a monochromatic minimalistic(streetwear&denim) look that incorporates a lot of slim fitting leather/wool/denim pieces. I find it harder to buy and look good in the minimalistic look compared to prep.
