So i am looking to purge my closet and start from scratch only keeping essentials until end of financial sales (30th of june)

My question is when i have sold my closet off what i should look at buying my budget is going to be from 2 - 3k aud?

levis 501 or 505 denim
la apparel 14 oz basic hoodies
uniqlo dry crewneck white tees
vintage tees (depop/grailed/ebay)
lmk if u need shoe recs

uniqlo

well i have AF1S and common projects both i plan to keep as my main shoe rotation rn i have

Vans
Skepta 97 og
sb inferred
CP's
AF1

i might need one more pair, idk if wanna invest in a pair of boots yet but idk

so i was thinking is to start

buy couple more expensive outta wear pieces this can be anything i see during the SSENSE sale or on grailed (trying to avoid using grailed too much as AUD is f***ed rn)

get couple pairs of levis on the cheap, i also have these dries pants i saw grailed i wanna pick up as they go with my CP

vintage tees/uniqlo (i already have some this which i will keep but will mostly likely get rid of most my more expensive "designer" tees) depop seems pretty good i have couple local pages that i could have my eye out for some steals

buy some accessories (thats for later)

Just remember, there's no need to have a packed closet, only have the essentials. Pick things that you really love.

yea i am planning not to i wanna downsize but have better quality items. Going to have quite a lot money splash from selling everything and hoping the sales coming up will be good to save that $$$.

Make sure you have an overall vision for how you wanna look

can't stress this enough

take a few days to try and visualize how you want to be perceived and develop somewhat of an aesthetic on paper and then start shopping for clothes

i am going for bit more mature look rn i have some bits of that already but still have lots of my streetwear clothes i used wear between when i was little younger

love it, I would say to look at thrift stores first because those pieces often have the most character - sign of maturity, but the country is f***ed rn so go eBay fishing

yea i been looking on depop, grailed, ebay etc for and saving what i like using shoptagr

then once everything sells off which i own then i will buy stuff i need get and then if have a lot money left over (i am good finding deals) i will pick up some more substantial pieces

Take the time to find high quality pieces that you like that aren’t just trendy. S*** you could wear now and when you 67.
Holding on pieces for a long time is positive in many way. It’s green, economical, and a low key flex. Yesterday someone asked where I bought my vintage Adidas and I told them they were vintage when I bought them.

i dont really follow trends maybe sometimes someone i like wearing a piece or two i like more its there clothes which i dont wear/dont fit me anymore.

I only buy uniqlo if i buy fast fashion as i feel their garments are decent and dont look like utter s*** compared to zara or h&m.

been trill days

have basic tees
grays
blacks
whites

Nice stone washed denim
2 black jeans
1 pair of cargo pants
3 sweats

3 trainers (comfy sneakers)
2 nice boots
1 boot for durability and to run to the ground

1 nice blazer
1 leather jacket
3 sweaters
1 long coat
1 winter coat

guides like this are difficult because everyone has different 'essentials'

very true just the basics I started with

Just know the amount of money you will make from selling those clothes will be a lot less than what you are prolly expecting.. and will prolly take a lot longer to sell than you are expecting as well. Get on that s*** ASAP and start your original listing price super high so even if someone tries to lowball hopefully it won’t actually be that low

Quality over quantity and having a solid direction you want to go in are my best tips
