Clothing I Regret Buying..

[@paodotloh]

For me, it’s buying too many sneakers. When I first started getting into sneakers, I’d try to buy as many pairs that caught my eyes. Sometimes I would just buy sneakers because they were on sale even though I had no emotional connection to it. It would get so bad that whenever I got a new pair, I’d get stressed out on where I can store them. Now I’m trying to downsize on my collection because I’m focusing more on essential sneakers that’ll fit my capsule wardrobe. Sometimes too much of things can become toxic for your mental health.

[@star42]

100% agreed. I feel I am more excited unboxing my sneakers then actually wearing them, as most of them ends up back in their box and in piles. Now my rules are: 1) 1 pair in, at least 1 pair out. I am constantly thinning out my collection. 2) Be honest with myself whether I will actually wear it with my outfits. I don't care how beautiful I think a pair of purple suede sneakers are, I know I ain't wearing them. 3) If they don't have long-term hold values, and I haven't worn them in a year, they are out.

[@Danielwoesthoff1]

Same man, At my peak I had over 100 pairs. I used to work for Nike EHQ and several sneaker stores and was copping multiple pairs every month. It took me now almost 3 years to downsize it to around 15 to 20 pairs of sneakers that I actually all wear. It put a lot of pressure mentally on me as well to always think about my outfit and colour coordination or oh yeah haven't worn this pair a lot etc.

[@KillaBean416]

I collect G Shock watches and the same rule applies… only buy watches you’ll actually wear. A collection of 5-8 ish sounds about right

[@PinkAgaricus]

@@KillaBean416 Yep I agree with the 5-7 pairs of anything (especially shoes and watches) since if you get either of those at retail they cost quite a bit (at standard shoe stores, but at those off stock shoe places [that sell retail shoes, just out of season] they actually are 50%-60% off). That number of pairs gives each pair of shoes time to air out between wears, especially if one's feet has a propensity to sweat lots and feed the bacteria that are the source of smelly feet/shoes (I think that would be the biofilm from the soles of feet). That "off stock" means the shoes I don't see on shoe stores like Foot Locker's shelves/shoe holders. I buy to use them, not for the sake of just leaving them lying around on a shelf.

I agree. My style is so many things at once and my focus isn’t narrowed.

[@noodlerescuer1000]

I found with my Adrian Loafers that a combo of hairdrying them near the seams, heel and strap, wearing them post heating up around the house & applying the wonder balsam helped me break them in only a couple days.

10:00 Try incorporating lighter color bottoms into your fits. You like to wear color (yellow, purple, orange), but almost all your pants are dark-wash denim or black. Pants set the vibe of the outfit and can bring together eclectic styles. Give it a shot :)

[@kylemalachowski]

I agree with this!

[@It_swill]

How would you recommend adding more color in one's wardrobe? The most color I've worn are blue suede or dark burgundy shoes, while the rest of my closet is black or very dark green, navy, and grey. I guess I've never felt confident enough to wear something brighter. 😓 Perhaps colored accessories to start?

[@Indigololz]

@@It_swill I’d start simple. Get a white sneaker with some color like the Adidas Gazelle or Samba. Wear that with your existing clothes. Throw in a white t-shirt or light-wash jean and you have a good base to incorporate whatever color you like. Don’t overthink it - just look for clothes and colors that you like. As long as you feel good wearing something it will look good too.

ugh, I regret everything Aritzia. I got sucked into the hype during the pandemic, but their quality, return policy, customer service, pricing, sales is all shit. Also, I can relate to the exploratory regrets. I try to mitigate it by returning nearly 80% of the clothes that I buy, but sometimes, things don't work out like the shoes that never broke in (ferragamo loafers for me). I think this is why I got into color theory and learning about body proportionality. The more you know, the less you miss.

It’s funny you mention feeling uncomfortable wearing camions with jeans, i have a pair in black and I’ve been rocking them with denim nonstop for the past 8 months. I think the pairing really nails the “dressy cowboy” style that our legacy kinda excels at, but if that’s not your thing, I can totally see the camions being a letdown. I’m planning on picking up a pair in the olive brown color way soon, so i’m obviously a big fan haha

Dude, I regret so many purchases this past year. I’m 31, I’m pretty set in how I like to dress; the mix of maneuverability/comfort and stylishness was dialed in. A bit of a personal uniform thing you know? I didn’t have to worry about what I was going to wear and I knew I would enjoy wearing it and that I would look good. But this past year I basically said fuck it, everything I have an interest in whether or not it is something that fits my aesthetic currently I’m just gonna buy it and try it. I can honestly say that I spent thousands to end up more or less where I began. I did gain some insight into some things, my buying habits in particular, but lots of money wasted. especially on sneakers because I don’t wear sneakers except for when I’m training. But anyway, yeah. Glad I can share that somewhat embarrassing fact to a community that understands where I’m coming from.

[@Echenster]

Honestly the reason why I started watching this channel was because I felt like I didn't have any direction for my style and I wanted to learn from you. I reset my wardrobe after college and I never cared about fashion until a year ago. I went through a lot of ups and downs too and I justified it in my head at first cuz I mostly bought second hand. However, after awhile I thought it was wasting money but I really resonated with you when you said that there's a difference between spending money as a waste and spending money to experiment with your style. I think overall, I've kept a consistent style and spent money to experiment every once in awhile so it wasn't a waste of money after all. Thanks, Drew!

[@jameskasiban8017]

The Camion boots look great with your jeans. If you’re referring to the cowboy style then your jeans will pair perfectly with them as you know jeans are a staple in western style

As someone who trifts most of their clothes I really need to start thinking of practicality more, I'm very intriqued by dramatic cuts, dizzying prints or just loud pieces overall. This often comes with the problem that my wardrobe is limited since not everything looks good with everything. I should invest more in timeless pieces that I can use to build multiple fun and colorful outfits around then :D also this was a nice video, a little deinfluencing moment for us all :)

[@emayel]

the oxblood colored boots with the japanese denim you have on is super fun ! you can try a trusty denim shirt or jacket for a denim-on-denim look, or chucking on an oversized letterman jacket for a collegiate 70s vibe haha i'll have to say that red has always been difficult for me to incorporate in my own wardrobe, and i find that it works better in tops than it does for bottoms or shoes OTL

[@Birdman721000]

Your bonus regret about getting caught up in all different types of fashion is real bro! I have been going through the same thing. The more I tried fashion, the more complicated it got and I am someone who maybe 5 years could not imagine putting more than 30 sec of thought into an outfit. The worst part I noticed is you end up going to the same things every time unless you make a conscious decision to wear something. Imma be honest, my way of getting out of this has been to view my clothes based on my environment and activity. It doesn't fix the issue, but if you are sometimes overwhelmed with different choices, it's worth trying that thought process. It simply makes the choices a little easier to organize.

[@iangoop]

If you consider the jacket to be an overshirt, it is not a bad piece, I know that the pockets are kind of the wrong place for an overshirt, but I think they look cool anyways. Great video as always, Drew :)

[@livres.n]

A dancer here with some useful tips for breaking in your loafer without destroying them. When breaking in with a pair of stiff, lacquered, polished loafer (like doc martens) try wearing them around your place with a pair of damp socks on. As strange as it may seem, this actually imitates a sweaty foot situation inside your shoe which helps soften and mold the leather inside to your feet. Just make sure to leave them somewhere airy after so they can "breathe" and evaporate all that humidity. Other useful tips that I learned from an actual shoe maker is to use a cream that contains urea. Yes. You read it right. Urea. It can be a foot cream, you rub a little bit inside, on the sides and on the vamp (still on the inside), put a thick sock on and let it work its magic. ✌🏼

[@ForeignYellow]

Fully agree on the bonus regret, even now I want to move towards loafers from sneakers but that means buying a new wardrobe to fit that style 😪

[@charliekp6534]

Weird point on the Adrian loafers, I've worn a lot of docs, as in from 2012 to 2020 I think I literally only owned Docs, probably 10 - 15 pairs and have had a number of really tough to break in pairs . The Adrian loafers were probably the easiest pair / least break in period I've experienced. I don't think this is to do with the style of shoe at all, I just think Docs quality is questionable these days and unreliable as to whether a pair will break in beautifully or it will be torture.

[@sanft6070]

I relate so much to the dr martens regret. Dont get them if they dont have your sizing correct or youll just experience blisters forever.

[@alexasunshine83]

I literally went to look at the Adrian loafers (and bought them) because I think I watched a tiktok where you styled them or maybe it was in a KZbin video, BUT I first tried the Adrian loafers you got and they did not fit me right and were just uncomfortable (I tried them in two different sizes). I then decided to try the Adrian loafers with the yellow stitching and they felt significantly better and fit me way better (in my normal doc marten size). They were annoying to break in I will admit, but they are now my go to everyday shoe! I'm not sure if they are actually different than the ones you have (w/out the yellow stitching), but just from trying them both on in the store I could feel a difference.

[@Whodnl]

I may regret buying some items of clothes but I don't regret watching a drew joiner video

[@peterkovic2241]

All my regrets are based on choosing something that was the wrong size. Almost every shoe I bought in the past 2 years was, like, half a size to a size too big, which sucks because I like the style of shoes I bought (Merrell Moab 3 mids) but they're not comfortable to wear, so I almost never wear them. I also bought some Thursday boots because everyone said they'd break in eventually and they just never got comfy. I should probably sell this stuff but I'm lazy ...

I ended up giving up on flashing but just decided to pick it back up with thing I’ve always loved and I’d say it works.

As someone who recently bought Adrian loafers, I understand your pain! I had to send back the shoes twice just to get the right size. Never had that problem with any other Dr Marten shoe's I purchased which is weird.

[@zenniszarkov2271]

I also have that issue with saying “I only like this one style”. When I’ve realised that fashion (for me at least) can’t be like that. I just now use trends as a way to see if it fits my current interests, and if it doesn’t then that’s fine! It’s boiling it down to basics. For example, I really only dress in two “categories” for lack of better term: -preppy gym wear -workwear + boots I got into them during the trends but now it’s all I wear and I just narrow down into either one of these each day I put together and outfit. And if I can’t decide which one, then I wear my well invested comfy tracksuits that look great by themselves. Keeps things fresh whilst keeping true to me and my lifestyle.

The our legacy boots would probably go well with a more punk inspired aestethic. That is more the brands thing anyways. Personally love their ”borrowed” shirts and trousers that all have a wild fit and give off a relaxed snd edgy vibe.

Dont feel pressured to narrow your style! Youre young, play around with style and youll find over time that youll gravite to certain things. And as you said, taste can be cyclical.

The oxblood boots…a crucial style lesson I’ve learned: just because it looks good doesn’t mean it looks good worn. Some goods are like statues. A lot of sneakers fall into that category.

[@mirror9865]

you really changed my view on docs, they hurt my feet soooo much and why did i have to buy such an uncomfortable shoe when there are so many more comfortable ones that are just as good!!! i really just go them since my friends did and didn't research more shoes

[@Martin-jv4cj]

I love my Adrian loafers. They’re so comfortable for me personally that I’ll wear them even if I have a day full of walking. I “thrifted” mine for ~$70 at *perfect mint* condition. Sure there are far better loafers out there, but I can’t turn down a good deal like that!

[@It_swill]

My main regrets are trying to get incorrect sized shoes to fit. Even if it's just one width or a half size too small/large, it's not worth the effort and pain. I buy a lot of vintage and secondhand footwear, but those $20-$100 mistakes add up! In regards to the Docs loafer, I think that rigid sole, corrected grain leather, and the last it's built upon is not right for your feet, or it's just not well designed in the first place. For something like loafers, the secondhand/thrift market is full of options, and Allen Edmonds is a great start. I'm a self-professed "shoe enthusiast" so I have and have tried many welted shoe brands, and imho a *supportive* leather shoe is more forgiving than a foamy canvas one, which only feels good short term, but doesn't support your foot long term. It's best to get measured correctly and often, try on many different lasts, and don't get married to a style of shoe too fast or one shoe size for everything, bc if it don't fit, it don't fit. Not worth the aching and suffering. I digress. This video makes me feel a bit less regretful knowing we all make monetary fashion mistakes...❤

[@SBEdits]

soooo with the adrian's (I've had 2 pairs so far) you definitely HAVE to get those pad things that stick onto the heel of the shoe - eventually with those you'll break them in and they'll legitimately become the most comfortable non sneaker shoes you own, trust me

[@137Furon]

I think its better to think of personal style as "what silhouette do I prefer" and ground your items around that instead of saying, "well I like X specific Item or Y specific Item" because these will change but the silhouette that most flatters you should remain fairly consistent.

i had a similar experience with my docs. after 3 months of trying to wear them regularly for breaking them in, I started to leave them at the office and put them on only when i was sitting at my desk working. They got a lot more comfortable and do not hurt unless im out and walking in them for 5-7 hrs. Its been 1 year now and I can finally say that i've broken in the docs

[@RoboLenin]

I love this, but where I'm at in my fashion journey I try really hard not to have purchases be regrets. So so many pieces I bought and weren't crazy about when I got them became hidden treasures later when I revisted them. I try to look at them as part of the evolution of my style. I def feel all over the place with my style too, but I also don't feel like I have to have one cohesive vision. My main interests in clothing are so far apart from each other that it just makes sense to match styles by the day instead of trying to have a completely theme cohesive wardrobe. I really enjoy stone island and CP company and some more avant garde Japanese and dutch fashion, but I also really enjoy work wear and the general vibe of a lot of the stuff you wear. Some days I look like a slavic football hooligan and some days I take a bunch of inspiration from people like you or Matty Matheson, I'm cool with that dichotomy :] That being said, I have 2 very expensive pairs of Maharishi pants that I desperately want to get rid off.

Great video. We all have regrets especially when it comes to fit and preconceived notion of quality vs actually quality. All the jeans displayed are very versatile they even work w/ the oxblood boots which do look good on you. Tall ppl can be a more bold w/ eye catching pieces.

[@supdwreckk]

I definitely feel you on the Adrian Tassel loafers. The pair I own is a half size bigger than my actual size so I always thought that was the main reason why they were uncomfortable and hurt. I don't know if I regret purchasing them because I still think it's a really stunning shoe, but I definitely don't wear them as much as I would if they fit me properly.

It's quite sad to hear that you regret buying the camion boots,,,,, especially because u truly influenced and inspired me to buy camion boots for myself! (cognac brown color though)

[@Chreative427]

I’ve been wearing docs for about 15 years and the key to get them comfortable is mink oil. Gently heat the leather with a hair dryer on low and message the oil into the leather. Let it sit for the night then start wearing them around the house (if they’re clean) before you take them outside. Did this for my wife when she complained about the Jadons killings her feet and the next time she put them on they felt great.

about the loafers, i work at dr martens and you NEED to balm them in! Coconut oil or even mink oil and then go out in the rain; I broke my two pairs in when it was very rainy. Also never microwave your shoes just balm them in and maybe use a hairdryer from a distance

The best way to avoid regrets when it comes to clothes is to always stick to timeless, versatile items (ideally without branding). You will never regret classic captoe oxfords, plain pique polo, a well-fitted suit, etc. Ditch the trends…

OMG THANK YOU ! I have the same issue with the Doc Martens Adrian Loafers. I bought mine for a citizenship interview in march 2022. 1 year and a half later, they STILL HURT. I have other models of Doc Martens that ended up being comfortable after a few weeks but this, one never relax :'( Especially under the tassels)

Tbh I regret not buying skinny jeans earlier, now I just have a bunch of baggy and straight fit denim I don’t wear because slim fit looks so much better on me.

[@lifewithgeorge7197]

For docs I’ve realized that staying away from the smooth leathers is the way to go.

[@fabianradloffsantos3337]

imo the red boots looked pretty cool with your japanes jeans

[@mariushebnes5951]

I kind of have the same issue with that i love many different fahion styles. I LOVE suits and classic menswear, but i dont get to wear a suit that often, but it is so nice when i do get to wear it, and even implement some of the classic style to my everyday wear. And also like old school, skatervibe and minimalistic scandinavian. And i cant have all of these, and neither do all of these fit that great when combined (most of the time). But i do like mixing the ideas and "rules" these have with sizing, fits, proportions and comfort. Its just such a fun way to experiment!

You helped me pull the trigger on some adrian loafers and it ended up being an instant regret lmaoo, I couldn't wear them more than ~5x because they hurt so bad but also the style didn't fit with my wardrobe. It did help me eventually find the Oree NYC derbys and those most definitely filled that spot in my wardrobe. I've had tons of regrets in the past year but lately i've just bought EVERYTHING being added into my wardrobe in black and found myself way more open to experimenting w diff styles and implementing what I really like into my day-to-day dress. I know the concept is almost played out at this point but the most important thing that improved my style was implementing a uniform that I can wear every day which can be slightly modified to fit damn near any occasion and i've loved it. Practical, comfortable, looks good but most importantly im not overspending on things I dont need now... lmao

[@ashtonwu3224]

falling for the classic "But it's on sale!!!" and buying a fashion mountaineering jacket that was super high quality.... but it's covered in an amazon forest print which is fire to look at but wearing it is another story.

[@FanDutch]

Cuffed jeans with camions looks great! Wear em like that almost every day, in gray though

[@mulanomula]

Facts the adrien loafers are way too harsh on the foot i think. I had to put 2 layers of bandaids to even wear them semi-comfortably for 4 weeks. They managed to break in for me though and now I love em. A bit sad they didn't break in for you tho.

[@mmiamuse]

I’m obsessed with my Adrian loafers but I will say I prefer the Virginia Leather style. More comfortable than the smooth leather!

[@diedforamir365]

the our legacy boot and selvedge jean combo looks really good

[@_rogergallegos]

I had the same experience when I purchased the our legacy loafers, the leather and the fit was equally uncomfortable as the Adrain’s. I unfortunately could not justify going through the break in process for a shoe with a price point of almost $500

[@sammyali1246]

I must say - I had a COMPLETELY different experience with the Dr Marten Adrian Loafers. They hurt a lot upon the first 2-3 wears, but they have since broken in pretty easily. In fact, I find them to be the most comfortable loafers that I own.

[@jaysmall5586]

With regards to Regret #3, oxblood shoes and boots don't really go with anything, and so they sort of go with everything. If you don't wear them altogether too often, that just means they won't wear out too quickly for when you do want them.

[@miguelmckenzie248]

I totally feel you in regards to Doc Martens. I have had many pairs in my life and they all took way too long to break in. That's why I only purchase Solovairs now. The leather is of a far more premium quality and the comfort, as compared to Docs, is night and day. Great video.

[@true2it940]

Want a pair of our legacy boots so bad . I’m actually wanting the red color way you have but it’s not available online . You made a good point though a brown or black color way is gonna be more versatile long term
