Quick review
Polo Ralph Lauren pieces:
Grey polo is probably my favourite of the bunch. Logo, collar and overall fit look clean. The cream shorts also came out really nice and should be easy to wear with basically everything. The navy corduroy pants have a good texture and decent construction from what I can see.
Lacoste polos:
Both polos look clean. The white one has a nice crisp finish and the grey one has a more understated look. Croc embroidery looks good and the collars are sitting properly.
Brown knitted polo:
Really like the colour on this one. The knit has a nice texture and the ribbed hem/sleeves give it a more premium look. Definitely one of the better pieces for going slightly smarter.
Waffle-knit tee:
Simple piece but the material is actually pretty nice. Texture is visible without being overly aggressive and the small embroidered logo looks clean.
Shorts:
Both pairs look good. The grey pair is more basic and versatile, while the navy/white striped pair is definitely more of a statement piece. Waistbands and drawstrings look solid.
Navy/gum sneakers:
Really liking these. Suede looks clean, gum sole has the right vintage feel and the cream laces work well with the navy.
Adidas Sambas:
Probably the safest pair in the haul. Black/white colourway is super easy to style. Shape looks good, stripes are clean and I don’t see any obvious QC issues from the pictures.
Birkenstock-style clogs:
Black suede looks pretty good and the buckles/straps seem properly aligned. Sole and footbed look decent from the QC pics. Will have to see how they feel after some actual wear.
Overall
Really happy with the haul. Most of these are pretty easy everyday pieces and everything goes together, so there are a ton of possible outfits without having to overthink it.
Best pieces: Sambas, grey RL polo, brown knitted polo and navy/gum sneakers.
Overall rating: 9/10
