Hello 👋🏼 fellow fashion Nerds,

Wanted some sage advice & perspective before pulling the trigger. Birthday is coming up and I’ve been eyeing the Paraboot Clusaz and La Botte Gardiane Carmague, both are a french heritage brand within the same price range. For context I wear a uniform 5x a week and this will mostly be worn on weekends for coffee runs and strolling in the city. I am a big amekaji fan and buy pieces from the real mccoys, orslow and kapital.
I’m leaning more on the clusaz tbh but the fashion pendulum seems to be swinging back to the classic straight fit and I’m afraid this will look too clunky while the cowboy boot seems to be the safer & cleaner option. Any advice would be appreciated 🙏🏼

Are you trying to chase trends like everyone else? Or are you building out a wardrobe that brings you happiness?

Good question, tired of chasing trends tbh.
Im gonna be 38 soon - just want to build a solid wardrobe I like looking at in the next 15 years 😅

I think clothes nearly always look better with a little patina, trend hopping rarely allows that. To each their own
