Does anyone else hate the term "versatile?" versatile clothes generally tend to be boring ones. I want to buy less versatile pieces.

im all about versatility, I can pretty much grab a random shirt, random jeans/pants, shoes and outerwear from my wardrobe, and it will work together. Pretty much..

Guess it depends where you are in your wardrobe. I'm still noobish, so I want more versatility in the standard items before I get to specific.

Well, to be fair, wardrobe continuity isn't the same thing as versatility - or rather, one man's versatile is another man's fetish-wear, if you know what I mean. Universatility is like....nudity, or something. Even if you have stand-out pieces in your wardrobe, they're pretty versatile if they can go with whatever. Like, if you only wear rick, sheer dresses and two-tone leathers are probably pretty versatile.

Agreed, and I realized as much after I posted. In my case though, the concepts overlap - high continuity based on versatile, "easy" pieces (e.g.., oxford shirts, wich works with both a sports coat, 60/40 park, military jacket or whatever). All pieces are of course not equally versatile, but given that an outfit consists of several elements, random search would put together decent combinations most of the time...
