Hey everyone! I'm 6'5" (1.97 m) and I really struggle to find jeans that are long enough without having to compromise on the fit and proportions.

I'm based in Italy — do you guys have any brands or stores you would recommend for tall people? I'm mainly looking for streetwear-style jeans, ideally from brands that aren't too expensive.

Online brands are totally fine too, as long as they ship to Italy.
Thanks for any recommendations 🙏

I used to justify every purchase.

• "It's on sale."
• "I'll find a way to style it."
• "It's different from what I have."

To be honest, I've some clothes I never wore while I have removed their tags.

At some point the waste started bothering me more than the savings felt good.

So I changed how I think about buying not just how much I spend, but what actually makes me reach for something in the morning.

Here's what actually shifted things for me, the actual rules

01 - Picture the specific outfit, not the vibe

Before buying anything, name the exact outfit you'd wear it in.

Not "it'd go with stuff" maybe a good self check would be - what stuff? which shoes, which bottoms, which layer? If you can't build the fit in your head right now, you're buying potential, not a piece.

02 - Check what you already own first

Most of the time you want something new because you just love the piece and miss out on what you have. Before you buy, go through what's in the drawer. Sometimes the piece you want already exists and you just stopped seeing it.

03 - Ask why you want it, not whether you like it

Liking something and needing it in your wardrobe are different things. "I love this" is not a reason to buy. "I've been missing a mid-layer in this colour for months" is. The more specific the reason, the more likely you'll actually wear it.

04 - Stop buying things that require other purchases to work

If the piece only works once you also get X shoes or Y trousers, put it down. You're not buying a piece, you're buying a problem. Everything you own should work with at least three things you already have.

05 - Track what you actually reach for

For one month, notice what you actually wear. Not what you planned to wear, what you actually put on. The pattern is usually obvious fast. It tells you what your real style is versus what you want your style to be and those two things are not always the same.

06 - The discomfort test

Before you buy, imagine yourself walking into a room in this piece and feeling slightly underdressed, overdressed, or just off. If that thought makes you flinch if the piece only works in one very specific context it's probably going to sit. The best stuff you own you'd wear in multiple situations without thinking.

None of this kills the joy of finding something good. It just filters out the purchases that felt exciting in the moment and feel hollow three weeks later when they're still folded up unworn.

Buy less, wear more. That's the whole thing.

I need advice on how to fix up my wardrobe on a very tight fashion budget to rebuild my wardrobe for $100 might even throw in another $19 if my rents feelin a bit generous 😭🙏17M btw i wear simple courlorful casual clothes w colors like baby blue sage green , mustard, cream yea

Heatwaves are here and we all need comfortable fits without spending much. Here is a frugal streetwear approach that still looks clean.

Core idea: Light colors, loose silhouettes, breathable fabrics.

Fabrics: Go for cotton tees, shirts, and pants. They breathe well and are easy to find cheap. Linen or cotton-linen blends work great if you find them second-hand. Skip heavy polyester since it traps heat.

Fits: Oversized tees, boxy shirts, and relaxed trousers or cargos improve airflow. You can size up basics you already own instead of buying new.

Colors: White, beige, light grey, pastels. They reflect heat and pair easily for simple outfits.

Easy outfits:
- White oversized tee + thrifted cargos + basic sneakers
- Light button-up (open) + tank + loose pants
- Old graphic tee + shorts + socks + sneakers

Frugal tips:
- Thrift stores and local markets for cotton pieces
- Reuse old tees as summer rotation
- Stick to neutral colors so everything mixes

Stay cool, spend less, keep the fit clean. ❤️

Where can I shop that’s affordable but also gives me options on experimenting on a streetwear aesthetic

I used to stand in front of my open cupboard full of clothes feeling frustrated about what to wear and that feeling like nothing suited me for my mood. I realized the problem was not quantity, it was clarity. These steps helped me figure out my style while spending less and getting more out of what I already own:

1. Try on everything you already own: Before buying anything new, I started experimenting with what I had. A lot of clothes I ignored worked well when styled differently. This alone reduced unnecessary purchases.
2. Wear your “different” clothes more often: Instead of saving certain outfits for rare occasions, I started wearing them casually. This helped me get comfortable and increased how often I used each item.
3. Learn what fits your body well: Understanding fit made a bigger difference than buying new clothes. Small changes like better cuts, lengths, or minor tailoring made existing pieces look much better.
4. Invest in solid basics: I stopped buying cheap trend pieces and focused on a few durable basics that last for years. These are easy to mix and match and reduce the need to keep buying more.
5. Use accessories to change looks: Accessories helped me create variety without buying new outfits. Small additions made the same clothes feel different.

Would like to hear how others improved their style while keeping spending in check.

Whenever I travel and don’t want to carry a gazillion clothes, I use the 3-3-3 rule. It keeps my luggage light, but I still get enough variety in outfits.

What is the 3-3-3 rule: You limit your wardrobe to 9 core items:

• 3 tops
• 3 bottoms
• 3 pairs of shoes

That’s it. Everything is chosen to mix well together.

Why I use it for travel:

1. My luggage feels lighter Carrying fewer clothes makes a big difference. Moving around becomes easier, especially during long trips or multiple stops.

2. I still get outfit variety Since every piece works with the others, I end up with multiple combinations without overpacking.

3. Getting dressed is faster No overthinking. Every option already works.

How I pick my 3-3-3:

• Tops: neutral or easy-to-match pieces
• Bottoms: simple, versatile fits
• Shoes: one casual, one slightly dressy, one for comfort

Small rule I follow: Each top should work with every bottom.

Sometimes I extend it to a 3-3-3-3 by adding 3 outer layers like a jacket or overshirt. For anyone who overpacks or struggles with travel outfits, this method makes things simpler without feeling restrictive.

Curious if anyone else here uses a similar system.

Lately focusing less on trends and more on how clothes work in real life. These five shifts made a clear difference without adding more to my wardrobe.

1. Adjust clothes to your proportions: Fit changes everything. Slight tweaks like hemming pants or choosing the right rise and shoulder width make even basic outfits look intentional. If something feels “off,” it usually comes down to proportion.

2. Choose colours based on your day: Pick colours that match your routine. Neutral tones for long workdays, brighter shades when you want more presence or energy. This keeps your outfits aligned with how you want to show up.

3. Replace sloppy layers with structured ones: Loose cardigans often look unplanned. Swapping them for relaxed jackets or overshirts adds shape without losing comfort. The outfit looks sharper with minimal effort.

4. Keep fewer shoes, stick to neutrals: A small rotation of clean, versatile shoes works better than many options. Neutral colours like white, black, brown, or beige pair with almost everything and reduce decision fatigue.

5. Use one strong accessory: One watch, chain, ring, or bag can define the whole outfit. Keep the rest simple and let that one piece stand out.

Trying to keep things practical and wearable.
Curious what small changes made the biggest difference for you. :)

Lately I’ve been moving past “what looks good” and thinking more about why I wear what I wear.

I realized I had a lot of great clothes, but they didn’t fit on the mode of my day or the event of the day.

Now I focus less on photos and more on how clothes feel during an average day. Comfort, confidence, energy, focus. It has changed how I define good style.

For those who have gone through a similar shift, what helped you build a wardrobe that fits your lifestyle and values, not just visual inspiration?

Looking for real changes in mindset, habits that made a difference.

In 2016 this type of bootleg meme fashion was trendy. Who are the new designers who create stuff like this now? I ironically like this stuff and want to follow some new creators
