How do stay up to date with clothing fashion? (lemmy.world)

I am not a guy who used to pay attention to clothing fashion because I felt it was expensive and hard to follow those ever changing trends. But I am seeing lot and lot people keeping up well with trend. I feel like I am falling behind and I need to stay up with the trend too.

So how do I stay up with the clothing trends with not spending too much time on it? How do you stay up to date with it?

I want to bandwagon onto this comment, as I fully agree. Buy timeless and good quality clothing.

I'm not overly trendy, but I always dress well. If you're not interested in chasing trends, make it so you can dress well without paying attention. A few high quality t-shirts, several pairs of good (maybe even expensive) jeans and/or chinos, a couple of jackets/blazers to step it up. Some dress shirts and some accessories (belts, shoes, etc). Some of the best pieces I have are old fashions: houndstooth, solid colors, plaids of various styles, and etc.

I would also advocate for supporting sustainable, or at least local, clothing companies as much as possible, but that's a personal value.

Finally, don't chase fashion. I had a modelling coach once who gave me the most important piece of clothing advice I've ever received: it's not what you're wearing, it's how you feel wearing it. If you feel good, you'll stand a little taller, smile a little more easily, and bring your best self to meet the world. I was wearing a $20 Walmart blazer. Just some food for thought. Good luck and have fun with it!
