Shirts👕
$20. Oversized is the new go-to. Earthy tones are best found at Uniqlo - trust me, I have searched in every store possible. Such a good selection of colors. 2nd in ranking of quality-to-price behind American Giant. They also have some decent tees/und...
Cotton Oversized T-Shirt UNIQLO
Little bit of retro. The black shirt is my favorite for subtle texture
Hudson Sweater Polo
$65. This is the epitome of dressing casual but feeling confident. I have had American Giant tees in my primary rotation, for school and the gym. They are premium cotton sourced from North Carolina and assembled in the U.S. The stitching is great and...
Made in USA Cotton Tee
$48. Kinda need to get another one of these. I saw them in-store but the worker was acting a fool. They were so comfy. If I had more bicep to show off, I'd wear these based on the mid-cut sleeves. Too bad I'm sickly and frail.
The Premium-Weight Crew
$58, not a bad choice. Love the cropped length and droopy sleeves
Scotch & Soda Raw Edge Cotton T-Shirt
$115. Made in San Francisco with U.S. cotton.
Sukumo Indigo
$33. I'm just an easy sell on anything from this brand. Love my parka from here.
The Utility Shirt Jacket in Buttersoft
Boxers/Socks🧦
$28. These are just breathable and good for running/exercise. Not too tight, which sometimes genuinely bothers me so bad that I rage.
Day and Night Boxer
$15. Champion has turned to crap quality in recent years, but not their socks. A genuinely long-lasting, thick, and cozy sock. It's still breathable and quite similar to the Nike Dri-Fits but at a much lower price. So so so necessary for my sanity an...
Champion Iconic Essentials Men's 6pk Cushion Crew Socks - White 6-12
$28. Easily the comfiest underwear I've ever worn. This situates everything with a pouch for your…you know. LOL. AMAZING support for someone with pain down there from running/tennis.
Boxer Briefs with pouch for...
SILK SILK SILK. I wear all this for sleep and long car rides. DUDE. Soooo comfy and it makes me feel like I'm staying at the Ritz. Just can't get enough of these!!! Tik Tok Shop has some alternatives that are NOT silk on the interior, only the exteri...
Men's Silk Sleepwear | Luxury Pajamas & Robes
$11. Worth the price.
Men's Organic Cotton Socks
Pants👖
$99. The best chinos I've ever invested in. The material is thick for winter and doesn't wrinkle too bad. These and Banana Republic all day every day
The Chino 2.0
$98. Great joggers because they don't DESTROY your happiness with a tight ankle fit. Such a good texture, similar to 5" shorts from Lulu. Comfy, comfy, comfy. Quality feel with a bit of elastic.
Zeroed In Slim-Fit Sweats
$60. While there is another Nike sweat more popular with guys, I prefer this with slightly larger ankle openings. The quality is the same and the cost is better. Just overall the same idea.
Men's Nike Fleece Open Hem Pants
This entire brand is insane
Turbo Baggy Jean
$118. I'm not a fan of slim fit so I just go up 2"-4" in waist.
Scotch & Soda Ralston Slim Jeans
Half off right now at $74.
The Linen Pleated Trouser
Shorts🩳
$29. 70% off! The cut is so interesting - reminds me of curious george
The Canvas Relaxed Short
$68. 5” inseam shorts. All you need for working out, gym, class, the house. Lululemons are the perfect texture and weight (not light, not heavy). Great texture.
Men's 5 Inch Inseam Shorts
$13. Don't make fun of Walmart. Yeah, I get it, but these are the best fit for my runs. Love love love these and the pockets are a good size for my phone. I can't stand some of the overpriced Lulu and Athleta running shorts that are super long
Mens Dry Fit Workout Shorts | Liner + Pockets
Winter Wear🧥
$330. The retro puffers (1st on this link) are really big right now for guys. A nice extra weight not only just looks boxier/better with sweatpants and khakis compared to a slim-quilt jacket, but it also insulates so much better. Hence, it's actually...
Men's Puffer Jackets & Bubble Coats | The North Face
$69. I mean, come on. I love the heavy metal buttons and rigid stitching.
Corduroy Jacket | UNIQLO US
$139. I can't lie, I don't get hit on much. But I wore a thrifted Patagonia Synchilla fleece out once and got hit on twice. So take that information as you will. My belief is anyone can look like a winter snack in this - girl or guy! It's such a retr...
Iconic Patagonia Fleeces
Ladies LOVE a retro funky patterned Pataognia fleece. It's not up to me - it's just true. They're a perfect winter fit for work, school, travel, hiking, skiing. Versatility is off the charts and it contrasts the boring minimalist essentials I've cura...
Patagonia Natural Blend Retro Cardigan
This is on sale right now! 70% off I believe
The Parka
Accessories⌚️
Great colors (I have one in olive). Adjustable, simple, classic, functional. Something the homeboys don't make fun of. For festivals primarily.
Crossbody Bag | Men's UNIQLO
I'm such a forest and emerald green-entrenched guy, so I bought a MVMT watch to match my fits. There are some simple white and gray options that are less flashy, but this is easily adored by all men - TRUTH.
Gilded Green Watch
Soooo big. Ideal for trips
The Canvas Weekender
Hoodies/Sweatshirts☄️
Again, UNIQLO coming in clutch with the best quality and colors, at least at this price.
