Is there a specific Blundstone model that folks recommend?
500 or 550 in all black, imo

18 East
Came into its own at a great time when I finally realized I was done with CM and trying to dress “like and adult”
JMM
Only have two for now but every time I hold them, put them one and see myself in them I love them.
Flares
Got some blue from LVC and some black from Lemaire and I pretty much ignore anything that suggests taper now
Short sleeves shirts
Avoided them for years because I readily some dump article about how they make you look shorter. May be true but who cares.
Faves from 18 East, Wacko Maria and EG
Black
Thought it was boring for years then seeing great posts on WAYWT and reading @dieworkwear article on it made me dip my feet. The aforementioned Lemaire flares, a Uniqlo trucker and some cons are my favorite pieces to spice up an outfit with black.
White footwear
Avoided white sneakers and such for the opposite reason of why I avoided black. Thought it stood out too much. Now I realize that’s what’s great about it. Love my EG vans. White boots are next up. No picture
Tank tops
They go well with 70s shirts and flares . No picture
Eidos/Vanson Double Rider/Lancer/Whatever you call it in your country
It’s a beautiful piece of denim armor and prevents me from getting a leather DR
Visvim Brigadiers
I have them and love them and still have pictures of other peoples on my phone. Just perfectly shaped boots for me

Every time I wear the Virgils I think I need to wear them more but I mostly reach for the brigs. They’re both really great and now I just need 7 holes...Lovely. How you liking the Virgils compared to the Brigs?
i’d love to see how you’ve styled the fleece brother. i’m on the fence, trying to hop over.i've definitely embraced being comfy at home this year. which led to some new purchases and some closet rediscoveries.
CARGOS - i did not think i'd ever want cargo pants again but now i have two pairs. the Jcrew W&B ripstop are great, and the 18E goreckis are even better.

SWEATS - similarly, i was not big on sweats (shirts or pants) and now own more than i care to admit. standard issue makes sweats so good my girlfriend got mad at me when she found them and asked why i never offered to let her wear them before. though my absolutely favorite is a nine lives sweatshirt i bought from self edge a few years ago. it didn't get much wear before but it's now something i want to reach for each day. it's thick (the arms have creases now like a leather jacket) but not overly warm and so so comfortable.

SPLURGES - i normally don't do big ticket items but this year under the guise of "keeping myself sane and happy" i bought some stuff that served nothing more than me just wanting them and doing it. JMM fellini's and the kapital damask fleece (which gets me compliments everywhere).

MOST ENJOYABLE - would have to be my running gear, tracksmith and saucony. these are the "actually keeping myself sane and happy" stuff. nothing was more relieving, relaxing, or invigorating to me than throwing this stuff on and heading out (with a face covering) to clear my head, flush the anxiety, and help keep my weight (mostly) in line. running for sure got me through this year and i can only hope everyone else finds something as satisfying for their mind and/or body as i find running.
