How would you go about cleaning out your entire wardrobe and replace it with /fa/ pieces? Right now everything I own are fast fashion, hand-me-downs, shitty christmas gifts, and very few decent pieces. Do I wait until Black Friday and start splurging? Donate all of the garbage I don't wait to "charity"?
My thought process so far is before aiming for aesthetics I should aim for getting decent basics. All of my shirts are either ratty or tacky, need to find a brand that has decent materials and good quality. Probably hunting for shirts in Uniqlo and/or merino shirts in Amazon since I'm pretty active on the day-to-day. On a slight tangent, I typically burn through 3-4 shirts just because of the sweat I release riding from place to place. If I can cut that number down to just one with a decent shirt that can wick away sweat I'd gladly pay over $50 for a shirt. As for things like pants, 80% of it is just shitty cotton jeans. From experience and learning online, cotton fucking sucks as a material. Should I go full polyester/nylon?
TL;DR Tips for fixing a wardrobe. Infographs welcome.

cop a good pair jeans, they'll last for a long time if you get a pair that fits well. Assuming you're a burger Levi's are cheap, see if you can find some that are made in the US instead of vietnam as they're slightly better.

i forgot to mention, don't cop stonewash 501s. They're as /boomer/core as it gets. Good colours are blue, indigo and black.

manlets can dress well and most models are conventionally ugly. You can hide your height and draw focus away from your face. Being fat is just something you need to change.

I updated an old /fa/ infograghic. i would assume this one is from 2012. V-necked tees are out and crewnecked tees are in. Cardigans are played out. If you wear peacoats you risk looking fedora so you should hold of on getting one until you get a style that works with pea-coats.

This infographic is timeless and the pieces are very versatile

my experience with materials is the exact opposite. I used to have a huge problem with sweating, to the point that a lot of clothes would only last me a few months before they developed an unremovable stink. then I started looking at the materials and realized all those were made of polyester, acrylic or some other synthetic fiber.
so then I switched to only wearing cotton, wool, linen and other natural materials and haven't had any problems with sweating. on some clothes 100% natural is hard to find, so on those I'm willing to accept at most 3% synthetic fibers

Replace items little by little, get good long lasting basics and then experiment.
The above info-graphics are pretty good too.

In just over a year, I've replaced my entire wardrobe with stuff I like. Gotten rid of all my old dumb normie teenager clothes too, (why I was trying to be a dumb normie is really another story) aside from a couple of pairs of pants and sweaters I wear to work. Personally, I just did it on a fit by fit basis, occasionally buying new pieces and now I have an entirely new wardrobe.
Now granted, it may take you longer depending on how expensive your taste in clothing is. I don't really pay attention to what's considered "stylish" right now and I just wear whatever I like. I also get a lot of my clothes from thrift stores, so that offsets the cost of more expensive pieces.

Thanks a bunch. Great advice. Have to limit on how many clothes i buy, once you get in to browsing grailed and other websites/forums- feels like being sucked in to the vacuum of space.

Uniqlo is a great start for simple, well-made essentials, and merino shirts from Amazon are invaluable https://invaluable.pissedconsumer.com/review.html, especially if you’re active throughout the day. Merino wool is fantastic for wicking sweat and staying fresh, so investing in a few good pieces will definitely help. As for pants, switching to polyester/nylon blends is a solid idea — they’re more durable and comfortable, especially if you’re moving around a lot. Donating the old stuff is a great way to declutter too!
