Old vs new outfits

[RustInPeace]

Hi all,
I took a stab at following Radical's guide and got some stuff off Prime Wardrobe. Here's the result:

Fashion is definitely not my strength, so I would appreciate any feedback on my current looks. I like the Adidas shoes, but they're like $90 so I'm not sure I can justify it.
Thanks in advance.

Im not keen on the necklace there, and as you are going for the basic look with the white tee etc the necklace is what draws the most attention.

My preference is would be a thin chain pendant necklace

Shoes and outerwear are where i suggest the bulk of your spending goes

I can usually find them here in the UK for $70 though, id go check out sportswear shops and see if they have anything on offer

If you invest correctly in your shoes, they'll last you a long time. My most expensive shoes (Alexander McQueens @ £350) have lasted me for 3 years and apart from when they get a bit dirty (a quick wipe down and leather care fixes it right up) people still think they're pretty new.

However, don't spend crazy amounts if it's a trend/not a versatile piece.

Good point on the necklace. Could try something like this instead: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/10000287434102.html

I haven't really looked at outerwear yet. I'm not really a big guy, so a lot of what I have doesn't fit well. For the summer, I'm thinking it's better to keep my physique on display a little.
