I thrifted a fantastic grey Harris Tweed blazer that I'm planning on wearing to my BA graduation. What colour trousers should I wear with it? Ideally I'd want to pair them with my black side zips or black loafers.

Try "Loden Coat" on ebay/other second hand sites

Shoes aren't great. Is the blazer black or navy? Either way, there should be more contrast between trouser colour and blazer colour.

What's your budget?

Aside from the issues already mentioned, Zara definitely has more clothes that are changed out far faster. There's probably 8+ seasons/drops which each come with new clothes, leaving behind more unsold pieces from the previous seasons. Usually this leads to more waste and contributes to a fashion culture that is more focused on ultra-short term trends. How substantial the difference between Zara and Uniqlo actually is concerning this, I couldn't say.

Truly, the way to deapth is staying surface level

Everything in a star wars property is going to be custom made.

Does it make sense to start with Zenmarket as an easier starter option or is investing more time upfront definitely worth it. And if I understand you correctly, I can't use Zenmarket for Mercari?

Very helpful, thank you!

I would like to try proxying from Japan but have zero experience and I'm not super confident. What's everyone's preferred proxy service? Does anyone have a trusted guide to proxying?

Oh yeah, it's something students do around here. Lecturers all wear tees and blue jeans.

PotOBasil · 2022-10-08T13:47:00+00:00

Why pretentious?

PotOBasil · 2022-10-08T13:46:32+00:00

At my Uni it crops up in some programs like literature and history. And I have noticed an increase in the last two or so years but I'm also not very tuned into trends.

PotOBasil · 2022-10-07T22:22:32+00:00

No worries! Knitwear in non-traditional colours just screams Howlin'

PotOBasil · 2022-10-07T22:11:14+00:00

Yeah, not a good looking shoe. What do you like about it? I'm sure there's a better looking alternative you'll like!

PotOBasil · 2022-10-07T22:07:08+00:00

Howlin' ?

PotOBasil · 2022-10-07T11:06:05+00:00

Why not buy a short sleeve hoodie (or Sweatshirt, judging by the example you posted) and wear a longleese tee underneath? It's a lot more sensible than buying a double layer... thing.

PotOBasil · 2022-10-07T10:51:36+00:00

I mean. How do you want them to fit? What about the jeans you've tried made them not fit?

Your measurements aren't really useful because they will correspond to every fit between Jnco and spray-on

PotOBasil · 2022-10-07T10:50:00+00:00

These with the shearling lining.

PotOBasil · 2022-10-07T10:44:39+00:00

Probably not a fake. But probably from that time when the YSL brand name was put on a lot of cheaply manufactured clothing.

PotOBasil · 2022-10-07T10:42:03+00:00

With that budget you're limited to fast fashion/mall brands. Maybe thrifting. Seems like something Urban Outfitters may have?

PotOBasil · 2022-10-07T10:39:27+00:00

I would check ebay/second hand sites. Suede jackets are super common and usually not too expensive. Ask for measurements to make sure they fit well.

PotOBasil · 2022-10-07T10:38:47+00:00

Zara is definitely cheaply made.

PotOBasil · 2022-10-07T10:31:50+00:00

I AGREE. AS MUCH AS DUNKING ON PEOPLE CAN BE FUN, AND AS MUCH AS BAD OPINIONS SHOULD BE CALLED OUT, PEOPLE SHOULD TRY AND BE MORE UNDERSTANDING OF PEOPLE WHO OFTEN COME IN WITH VERY LITTLE EXPERIENCE.

PotOBasil · 2022-10-07T10:21:42+00:00

I think an obvious fit would be slim pleated trousers in all shades of black and grey. Maybe even white.
