Text Review of 5 Years of Reps (45kg+)
Post Body

Alright, Iā€™ve mostly started this because Iā€™m bored during deadline season and want to do something other than reading for my final essays. Iā€™ve been around here for a long time (lurking is fun!), with my first ever haul being in January of 2018. I remember the obsession with Bogos (I got my cousin two in a haul I set up for him over the summer of 2019), as well as haul reviews before Google Slides, among other things that mark me as a Repfam boomer. In total since 2018, Iā€™ve done a total of 5 hauls with SuperBuy, and 4 with WeGoBuy (the fourth of which will be shipped very soon, prompting this review), for a total of 45.1 kg, not including the haul I have coming which will definitely take me over 55kg. I did a fuck ton of digging in order to find some items for this most recent haul, which is going to be around 11kg, if not more, and is going to be probably 33 items. Maybe Iā€™ll release a QC album of that, not sure, but Iā€™ll most likely review that in like 3 weeks when Iā€™m home & have a chance to look through it. It included some re-buys of items that I have lost (rings that I left behind in a Hostel over February of 2022) and a lot (by that I mean 13) of retro football shirts (thank you AAAAJersey) as it is always a blokecore summer.

Most of these links will be dead links (Iā€™m sorry) but a few of them do still work, and Iā€™ve linked them where I can. This is somewhat based off of u/epicbigc13579ā€™s review I found recently. To quote:

ā€œI'll be basing it on a 40 point scale, separated into 4 different categories each weighted 10 points: quality of product, value (if the price was worth paying for), accuracy to the real item, and usage (how much I've worn the item since I got it).ā€ Also, most of the photos of these will be QCs from ages ago, since Iā€™ve lost/worn through some of the items. Each of these categories will be in chronological order. Some items Iā€™ve bought were so bad that I donā€™t really remember/barely wore them, so I wonā€™t review, or I gave them away to friends/siblings right away, or just donated them after one wear. They wonā€™t even have links anyways, so donā€™t complain. Feel free to ask me about the sizing on these items in the comments as well!

My stats:

Age: 21

Height: 187cm (6ā€™1.5 or so)

Weight: like 180 lbs i have no fucking idea i have not weighed myself since pre covid i think

Sizing: Usually between L and XL in Tees, M/30-32 Waist in Pants, US 11/44 or 45 in shoes, Ring Sizes are like 9/10 depending on the finger (middle is 10 or 10.5, index is like a 10? and ring is like a 9 maybe)

Jackets

CJHomme Overcoat 308Ā„

Link

Quality: 6

Value: 8

Accuracy: 10

Usage: 11

Ah, CJHomme. Most of you tiktok zoomers probably arenā€™t aware this brand exists, let alone would think about wearing them. For those who are unaware, CJHomme is a Korean store that does a lot of basics, and has some really nice stuff. Please check them out, but beware of the sizing. I got the largest size possible, and itā€™s still a touch small for me in the arms and body. Even then, I wore this coat like every other day basically for two years of uni. I got the unpadded version, and it was pretty thin and required some layering when it was quite cold. Itā€™s super fashionable and nice though, so Iā€™d recommend you put it on your list for the preemptive Autumn hauls. Have a look around their store for some really great Korean-style basics.

WTAPS Helly Hansen Jacket 385Ā„

Quality: 10

Value: 8

Accuracy: 9

Usage: 3

If I was a techwear wearer, I would love this. Itā€™s actually really nice, with a detachable hood, and waterproof as well. Unfortunately, I never really wore it, and so I gave it to my brother. Iā€™m not sure of the actual accuracy, but it seems like itā€™s all in order. Also, nobody knows what WTAPS is as a brand so I was never worried about wearing it around. Really nice quality, but just wasnā€™t really my style. Weird of me to order it, looking back, but I donā€™t really regret it too much.

Human Made Hot Dog Varsity 338Ā„ Front and Back

Quality: 6

Value: 5

Accuracy: 9

Usage: 5

Gonna be bold here, but I really donā€™t think this is as good as it is reviewed to be. I think this is maybe because of being spoiled with a really nice quality Roots varsity jacket that I thrifted, but for the price, youā€™re not getting enough quality. Itā€™s pretty thin, and the leather itself is not that great. I think the print is really cool, and itā€™s a real head-turner. Even then, Iā€™ve had one of the buttons fall off after only around a year and a half, and not wearing it that often. Was a bit disappointed by it, to be honest. Go spend your hard earned money on a good quality vintage varsity jacket at the thrift if you can find one.

 

Sweaters/Hoodies

17 Spring/Summer Palace Splitter Hoodie - 150Ā„

Quality: 4

Value: 4

Accuracy: 8ā€¦?

Usage: 1

Honestly, this hoodie was pretty dogpiss. I really liked the design, but it was super thin and I wasnā€™t a big fan of the price, considering how much you can get for 150 yuan these days. Sold it on BST ASAP after maybe its second wear.

Adidas Crewneck 65Ā„

Quality: 6

Value: 8

Accuracy: 6 (might be fantasy)

Usage: 5

Wore this a good amount, but itā€™s a bit small for me, as I ordered an L. My brother wears it a decent amount now. Super omega dead link though, as I ordered this in August of 2018.

UnionKingdom Reverse Weave Champion Hoodies, Lavender, Dark Green, and Peach - 188Ā„

Link

Quality: 9

Value: 9

Accuracy: 10

Usage: 9

Real ones remember UnionKingdom as well. These champion hoodies are legit. Super comfortable, super warm, and Iā€™ve compared to my legit Black Champion Hoodie - Iā€™d say basically identical in feel and fit. I ordered a Lavender one back in my 2nd haul in September of 2018, and then ordered three more for my two siblings as Christmas presents to fight over in October of 2020. Compared to the new Kanye hoodies that everyone seems to be getting, theyā€™re definitely not as nice, but Iā€™d recommend getting them nevertheless.

Supreme x Nike Crewneck, Red 169Ā„

Quality: 10

Value: 8

Accuracy: 10

Usage: 9

This crewneck is honestly incredible. I got an XL, and itā€™s maybe a half size too big (or you could call it oversized). Super nice quality, and looks awesome. You wouldnā€™t know itā€™s Supreme unless you looked at the sleeve embroidery. Sadly the link is dead, but maybe someoneā€™ll do it again, or thereā€™s a link Iā€™m unaware of. Super comfy, fits really well, looks great, lovely colour. An excellent rep.

UnionKingdom Supreme x Champion Hoodie 258Ā„

Link

Quality: 9

Value: 7

Accuracy: 9

Usage: 8

Sizing on this was a bit weird, and shrunk in the wash, so my mum wears it now. Itā€™s a super flashy hoodie, not only due to the colour, but also the super loud Supreme print on the back, so I didnā€™t wear it that much in 2018/19 due to it being a more Hypebeast era, as Iā€™m pretty sure it sold for a crazy amount. Itā€™s super comfy, but is a super flashy piece. Would recommend it, honestly. Iā€™m more surprised that the UK is still selling it!

Ralph Lauren Cable Knit Crewneck, Multiple Colours - 135Ā„

Quality: 10

Value: 8

Accuracy: 10

Usage: 10

These are fabulous. Sized up once, and I wear them all the damn time. I have three I wear regularly, but sadly a dead link. Got one for my dad, and I have a bunch of others. Youā€™ll see quite a few at the end in fit pics.

Turtleneck, Multiple Colours 79Ā„ each

Link

Quality: 5

Value: 6

Accuracy: N/A - not a rep

Usage: 4

Sizing is fuuuucked on these. I got the largest size (XXXL) and itā€™s still too small for me. For those of you who are small, definitely think itā€™s pretty good size wise. But Iā€™ve ordered this which has come with pretty high reviews. Will compare when it arrives. Theyā€™re pretty okay turtlenecks, more of a mohair/wool type situation rather than something more like acrylic or the like. Decently soft, and pretty comfy. My mum wears them now, and she really likes them.

Palace Adidas 2014 Crewneck 250Ā„

Quality: 5

Value: 3

Accuracy: 8 - i think this maybe is fantasyā€¦?

Usage: 6

My brother wears this now, as itā€™s a bit too small. Weird feeling sweater, especially considering the price. Iā€™ve had nicer retail crewnecks for sure, but it looks pretty cool.

Topstoney 18SS Crewneck 180Ā„

Quality: 9

Value: 8

Accuracy: 10

Usage: 8

Topstoney the GOAT. An excellent crewneck that I got back in late 2018. Ironically now that Iā€™m in the UK, I donā€™t really wear it much, but my brother has repossessed a lot of my crewnecks. Still, a really nice piece. Dead link, but I think TopStoney may still have a store where you can buy something like this one. Not sure though. Accuracy seems pretty good, from what I can tell compared to retail, and I got a good badge (I believe). Iā€™m not that fussed though, wear with confidence, and always get the badge in. Bosh.

 

Tees

Nelly Blank Tee (have bought multiple), now 8Ā„

link

Quality: 8

Value: 10

Accuracy: 10

Usage: 10

Honestly, I canā€™t really say much about these aside from the fact that theyā€™re fucking exceptional blank tees. The length on them is a bit weird, but for the price, youā€™re getting a thick tee. Just buy some, if only to go under hoodies and tuck into your pants. It's literally like just over 1 USD to get a blank tee. Just do it.

Wtaps Tees, in Mustard Yellow and Navy 79Ā„ each

Quality: 8

Value: 8

Accuracy: 9 - i mean its WTAPS i have never seen anyone IRL wear this so i am fearless for getting called out lmao

Usage: 8

Honestly, I got a lot of use out of these tees, considering Iā€™ve had them for almost 4y now. I donā€™t really wear them much, but theyā€™re a pretty good quality blank.

Patagonia Tees, in Yellow and Navy 29Ā„

Quality: 5

Value: 6

Accuracy: 5 - i think this a fantasy item

Usage: 4 Dead link, and pretty dead tees. Not the worst quality blank, but the sizing is all weird. The Navy one also looks dogshit cuz of the way the print looks. Wore the yellow one on the day I shaved my head. Theyā€™re fine tees, but not that good.

Kith Tees, Sand and Navy 99Ā„ each

Quality: 8

Value: 8

Accuracy: 9

Usage: 7

By the time you get to the third double purchase of tees in a yellow/brown and navy colour, youā€™d think I have a theme in terms of what I like to wear. I can neither confirm nor deny these allegations. Ordered these back in August of 2018 as well. Theyā€™ve had a good life, and look really cool. Kith is still pretty niche, and looks good. Dead link, obvi.

UK Supreme Morton Salt 99Ā„

Link

Quality: 9 Value: 8 Accuracy: 10 Usage: 9

This tee is really cool - most people donā€™t realise itā€™s Supreme unless they take a close look. UK is honestly one of the OG Goats for us Repfam, and this tee is one of those pieces that was highly requested before it got made. Pretty good quality blank, and fits TTS.

Chelsea 18/19 Home & Away 90Ā„ each

Quality: 5

Value: 8

Accuracy: 7

Usage: 8

Pretty decent quality football kits, but the numbers did come off right away in a hot laundry load that I accidentally did. AAAAJersey sucks for refunding etc. but they do decent quality stuff. Iā€™d still recommend going for DHGate over them for single jerseys. Iā€™ll have more to say about their jersey quality when my 13 kits arrive with my next haul.

Random Tees from ā€œMr Kirin Studioā€ - ~65Ā„ per Tee

Store Link

Quality: 9

Value: 9

Accuracy: N/A (not reps)

Usage: 4

Actually, these are pretty good. Nice quality blanks, and some fun prints. Iā€™d recommend you all check out the store to get some tees that arenā€™t what a FashionReps NPC wears. I donā€™t really wear them much these days, and Iā€™d recommend sizing up a bunch based on their sizing charts. I donā€™t wear them much these days, but theyā€™re still nice and fun graphic tees. Do check the store out!

Yeezus Tees 39Ā„

Link

Quality: 5

Value: 8

Accuracy: 8

Usage: 4

Repfam staple, not sure I can say much more than whatā€™s been said. Theyā€™re cheap, and not the best quality blanks, but theyā€™re really cool tees. Got one in black & white respectively.

 

Shirts

ā€œ2017 summer men's short-sleeved flower shirtā€ 78Ā„

Quality: 8

Value: 8

Accuracy: 10

Usage: 6

Got two of these, one in red & one in blue. Made of a weird Rayon material I think? Pretty good shirts, Iā€™ve got a few good wears in the summer. Dead link (sorry), which Iā€™m surprised about since theyā€™re more wholesale than a proper ā€œrepā€.

Rhude Marlboro 249Ā„

Quality: 9

Value: 8

Accuracy: 7

Usage: 10

Ahh, my favourite shirt that I own. Sorry about the dead link, but this is honestly such a great shirt. Material is awesome, the print is great, and it looks so dope. Gets me loads of attention any time I wear it out, and I constantly get compliments on it. It had no tags on it, so Iā€™ve docked a few points, but itā€™s really not important. Maybe someone will make this again. Even then, thereā€™s some great Prada shirts that are being repped that are out there, so donā€™t lose hope for your summer fits.

Rhude Flamingo 115Ā„

Quality: 7

Value: 9

Accuracy: 9

Usage: 4

Another dead link. I sized up once on this, and I regret it. Itā€™s fucking massive (already oversized), but looks really cool. Big fan, but I hate how it says RHUDE on the back in big lettering. Still, a good quality shirt that I wear a decent amount in summer.

 

Shorts/Pants

Palace Adidas Shorts 85Ā„

Quality: 7

Value: 6

Accuracy: 7

Usage: 3

For the price, these are pretty good. Even then, Iā€™ve had them for ages and donā€™t wear them much. Mostly around the house, since theyā€™re sweatshorts. I think theyā€™re not great in terms of accuracy, and the zipper is a bit weird. But they light up when you shine a light at them, so somewhat useful for going out at night? Iā€™m not even sure theyā€™re a real collab item, but oh well.

Raptors Basketball Shorts 55Ā„

Quality: 6

Value: 8

Accuracy: 5

Usage: 2

I think these are meant to be sort of reps of the Just Don shorts? But theyā€™re kinda shit, and have no pockets, so I donā€™t really wear them out much. Not bad shorts by any means. Pretty good for the price tho.

Patagonia Shorts 68Ā„

Quality: 9

Value: 9

Accuracy: 8

Usage: 10

Man, these shorts are great. Sadly the link is dead, but these are my summer staples. I honestly live in these when itā€™s warm enough to wear. Great fit, ginormous pockets, and not super long. Wish they were still around, but Iā€™m sure thereā€™s other sellers that do them.

 

Socks/Underwear

Palace Socks, 10.5Ā„

Quality: 6

Value: 6

Accuracy: 8

Usage: 7

Kinda thin, kinda small. Dead link, but they were just kinda fine. Wore them a good amount of times before they got worn through.

NoPhone Calabasas Socks in Black, Beige, and Grey

Quality: 6

Value: 6

Accuracy: 9

Usage: 5

Pretty decent socks, but they were a bit small. Dead link, but I think I found another one here that I think is decent? Not sure 100% tho. They were quite thick when I wore them, nice socks overall.

HanSolo Burberry Briefs - 63Ā„ for 3

Quality: 5

Value: 6

Accuracy: 5

Usage: 9

Unfortunately you do not get any fit pics of these, as Iā€™ve worn through them. Sad, I know. They fit a bit small (I ordered an L), but were good when I had them.

 

Shoes

Common Projects Achilles Low 298Ā„

Link

Quality: 7

Value: 5

Accuracy: 6

Usage: 8

I do not want to be on a list, so I will not make the brand into its short form. These did end up eventually getting a hole in the sole after around a year and a half of decently heavy use, so I canā€™t really rate them too highly. Theyā€™re pretty uncomfortable, even after you break them in, and the laces arenā€™t the same waxed ones on retail. Still, theyā€™re a really pretty shoe and Iā€™d recommend picking them up as a more formal staple shoe for summer.

Common Projects Suede Chelsea Boot 398Ā„

Link

Quality: 10

Value: 7

Accuracy: 9

Usage: 10

I adore these shoes, and theyā€™re still a staple in my closet to this day. One of my most EVER used Rep Purchases. I have them in the Taupe and Tobacco. They fit TTS, just as an FYI. Get these shoes, if you are the kind of person who is a bit more fancy in how they dress and want some chelsea boots.

Versace Slides 88Ā„

Quality: 9

Value: 10

Accuracy: 7

Usage: 10

Honestly, Iā€™m surprised Iā€™ve gotten so much use out of these slides. Iā€™ve worn these all the time after getting them in October of 2019, and at uni I wore them genuinely every day from 2020 onwards, both in and out of the shower/bathroom and my room. It was only in December of 2022 that one of the soles separated and needed glueing, and theyā€™re still going on strong. Sadly, yet another dead link (I mean, itā€™s been like 3.5 years), but these are an underrated staple.

Jordan I Court Purple 168Ā„

Quality: 7

Value: 10

Accuracy: 7

Usage: 5

For the price, Iā€™m pretty happy with these court purples. Not an expert by any means on how accurate they are, but Iā€™ve got a good amount of use out of them. Kinda hard to pair with outfits though is the only thing Iā€™ve found.

 

Accessories

Acne Studios Ring 28Ā„

Quality: 8

Value: 8

Accuracy: 9 Usage: 3

This has a more burnished steel look rather than a more silver look that a lot of my other rings have had, so I donā€™t really wear this much. Itā€™s a nice ring, I might try to give it to a friend or something.

Palace Flip Ring 32Ā„

Quality: 6

Value: 5

Accuracy: 7

Usage: 2

Kinda forgot I had this, plus because I donā€™t wear Gold Jewelry, this never really got worn. I think itā€™s somewhere at home.

MF Doom Ring

Link

Quality: 1

Value: 5

Accuracy: N/A idk its not a rep?

Usage: 1

Made my finger green. SHIT!!! Do not buy.

 

Before I go over the next 7 rings, I want to say that I would still be wearing them today if I was not a big stupid idiot who left them behind in a hostel after taking them off overnight and realised on his flight home. I would wear all of them daily, until I left them behind, which is why the usage is all 10. You can see them all here, as well as here and here.

Gucci Ghost Ring 95Ā„

Quality: 10

Value: 8

Accuracy: 9

Usage: 10

Sadly, dead link, but this ring was great when I had it. Definitely 925 Sterling Silver, and looked really nice. Subtle flex, for those who noticed. I donā€™t want to harp too much on it, since itā€™s a dead link.

SLP Chain Ring 60Ā„ when I first bought (now 80Ā„)

Link

Quality: 10

Value: 9

Accuracy: 10

Usage: 10

I believe this is a fantasy piece, but that doesnā€™t mean itā€™s not a gorgeous ring. Itā€™s 925 Silver, and looks great. I ordered it back in April of 2020, lost it somewhere, ordered it AGAIN in spring of 2021, and then left it at the hostel in 2022. Iā€™ve ordered it again in my latest haul, just because I think itā€™s a great simple ring that has a lot of nice detailing. If youā€™re looking for good accessories, please do get this one. Sizing is Chinese Sizing, fwiw.

Silver Feathers Ring 74Ā„

Link

Quality: 3

Value: 2

Accuracy: 10

Usage: 8

The band at the bottom of this was super flimsy and snapped after a few months of wearing. Pretty ring, and looked nice, but I wouldnā€™t recommend it. I think the store itā€™s from has a lot of cool stuff tho.

Gold Feather Ring 32Ā„

Link

Quality: 8

Value: 10

Accuracy: 10 - not a rep

Usage: 10

This ring is really dope - simple, looks really good, and is stainless steel so you wonā€™t get green fingers. For the price, Iā€™d say itā€™s a no brainer to pick up. Seriously, I got so many more compliments on this compared to my Gucci/SLP ring. Simple accessory that just goes crazy.

Stainless Steel Twist Ring 25Ā„

Link

Quality: 8

Value: 9

Accuracy: 10 - not a rep

Usage: 10

Pretty good ring, itā€™s Stainless Steel but feels quite high quality. Annoyed to have lost it, but itā€™s nothing special. Would recommend it, if youā€™re looking to add more rings to your fits. The store itā€™s from has a load of rings, so Iā€™d recommend checking that out,

Gucci Tiger Ring 108Ā„

Quality: 10

Value: 8

Accuracy: 10

Usage: 10

Honestly, this ring is fucking excellent. I wish it wasnā€™t a dead link. Itā€™s quite flashy, and I wore it all the time quite proudly, as it looked super cool.

Ace Ring 32Ā„

Link

Quality: 7

Value: 9

Accuracy: 10 - not a rep

Usage: 10

This is a Stainless Steel Ring, and I think itā€™s really nice. The Black paint on the inside of the Ace came off after a few months of wear, but I think itā€™d be easy enough to fix with a Sharpie or something, maybe. Itā€™s a pretty cool ring, and quite fat. The store has a lot of good stuff too.

Hermes Belt 29Ā„

Quality: 4

Value: 6

Accuracy: 2

Usage: 8

Another bold review from Servalarian here going against some of the more traditional repfam grain - this belt is pretty shit. I mean, for the price, itā€™s great, but thereā€™s a key flaw that is not present on retail, that makes you have to flip the belt inside out to look legit due to the white stitching on this one. I mean, most people on the street wonā€™t know itā€™s fake Hermes, but itā€™s an instant callout. Iā€™ve worn it a lot, mostly due to a lack of belts, and Iā€™ve been wearing it a lot recently, just cuz my other belt broke. Recently ordered a black & brown version of this belt, so Iā€™ll be sure to update when my haul comes in.

Aooko Clubmaster ā€œMatte Tortoise Ice Blue Flashā€ 120Ā„ Quality: 9 Value: 9 Accuracy: 10 Usage: 8 I had one pair of these, which I broke, so I ordered another. Theyā€™re great sunglasses, and Iā€™ve never been called out for them. Aooko is usually really good, and for the price, itā€™s a no-brainer IMO. I think he has a Yupoo to order from, since the link I used is dead.

 

Misc

Retro Spoof Food Stickers

Quality: 10

Value: 10

Accuracy: 10

Usage: 9

These are honestly really fucking funny, and I wish I hadnā€™t put so many of them on my old laptop. I wish I could order them again, just cuz thereā€™s a few I really like. Thereā€™s also a few which are really weird, but these were a fun purchase I saw after someone linked them. Sad to say theyā€™re gone forever.

Goyard Passport Holder - 70Ā„

Quality: 7

Value: 9

Accuracy: 8? Idk it looks fine to me

Usage: 8

Doesnā€™t really feel like leather? But itā€™s sturdy enough, Iā€™ve used it to carry one of my two passports (not to flex too hard) pretty often and never been called out. Fits a passport well, and looks good and is good.

UNHS Supreme Key 2017 Knife 12Ā„

Quality: 8

Value: 10

Accuracy: 8

Usage: 8

Honestly, surprisingly useful (if only to cut open hauls with). Might be illegal where you live, since itā€™s a decently large blade & it folds up, so do consider that.

Multi Tool Key? 10Ā„

Quality: 9

Value: 10

Accuracy: 10 (idk man its a multitool what do you want me to put here)

Usage: 8

This is surprisingly useful. Iā€™m sure thereā€™s other variants out there, but having it to open hauls is great.


Overall Favourites

Picking favourites is hard, obviously. I think the Rhude Marlboro shirt is one of my favourite items, and gets me the most compliments (sorry for the lack of link). Nelly blanks are probably the most underrated - such good value. The Common Projects Chelseas are definitely some of my favourites, and Iā€™d recommend getting them, even if theyā€™re a bit pricey. Super good quality, and I only replaced them because I beat my other pair to death by wearing them literally every day. The SLP ring is definitely one Iā€™d recommend picking up - itā€™s 925 silver, and looks dope as all hell, plus it has a matching bracelet in the same store. Thereā€™s a few other rings too. I BEG YOU ALL TO ACCESSORISE WITH RINGS THAT ARENT JUST CHROME HEARTS I donā€™t think Iā€™d give any rep piece that Iā€™ve bought a 10/10 honestly. Maybe the Gucci rings which I now cannot re-buy, but Iā€™m sure thereā€™s flaws if you look deep enough in those, and the Nelly Tees have a weird cut. Weā€™ll see if any of the items in my 10-11kg haul are perfect tens - Iā€™m hoping the Kanye hoodie is, but Iā€™m not sure 100% yet.

Conclusions

In doing this review, I did not count up how much I have spent on reps. I am thankful for that fact, as I want to stay oblivious. I do not have a shopping addiction, I just like saving money. I will leave you all with a few fit pics, of which Iā€™ve tried to get as many reps in as possible. If iā€™m gonna be honest, my closet has diverted away from reps a lot in recent years, just by virtue of thrifting, but Iā€™ve still got a few core staples in my wardrobe.

Fit 1 is a two parter with CJHomme coat, Common Projects Chelseas, Hermes Belt, and then retail Uniqlo and Levis respectively. Chelseas as Seen on Feet

And here are some with the Hot Dog Jacket. It Looks pretty nice, I think

Mirror Photo and Mirror Selfie to show off the CJHomme Coat & Ralph Lauren Sweater respectively.

 

Iā€™ll end this with a few words of advice to all of my RepFam, especially some of the TikTok Zoomers. Reps are some of the best building blocks for outfits - the prices you can get on cheap and staple basics to build outfits around are, frankly, unbeatable (for obvious reasons), and Iā€™d recommend looking out for those, as theyā€™re timeless for good reasons. Thereā€™s some amazing hype items out there, but they need to be well interspersed with non-hype pieces to make properly good outfits. Some of my favourite fits only have one or two rep pieces, while some outfits are entirely more muted basic reps with a few hype pieces mixed in. Accessories are some of the best ways you can step up your outfits, and Iā€™d recommend looking at some of the stores of the rings that I have linked in order to get more Stainless Steel/Silver pieces.

Iā€™m not sure if this remains an adage for this sub, but wearing with confidence is honestly the easiest way to ā€œget awayā€ with wearing reps. Iā€™ve only ever been called out once, which was by another RepFam at my uni, and that was because of the 29Ā„ Hermes belt that he recognised. Otherwise, I continue to rock more niche brands or things that arenā€™t easily observable, which I think maybe helps, but generally youā€™re usually good for callouts. Donā€™t be afraid to tell people your clothes are reps, but I donā€™t really go out advertising it to people (but thatā€™s just my call).

Anyways, youā€™re welcome for the five thousand words I wrote in a few hours in a more classic review format. Another review is coming soonā„¢, if I get around to it. Please let me know if you have any questions, or want any higher quality photos of some of the items (if I still have them around), or want to know about some of the non-Rep items in some of my fits. Thank you all.
