I wear Gustin’s, but I get your problem with the low rise. If you’ve still got them check if they’re slim, skinny, or straight fit. The straight fit is still kind of low, but the slim is really low (I have not tried on their skinny fit). They also vary a bit on each model. I’ve sent back a couple that had the same measurements but simply didn’t fit right.
This is why it’s common in the black community to get a receipt whenever you buy anything. You can’t prove where you are at all times, but you can prove that you were at a particular time and place. Might save you from being railroaded for a crime you didn’t commit.
There’s stuff out there, but it is harder to find. It’s going to be especially hard to find right now. If you want more colorful clothes look again when the Spring and Summer looks come out. The Winter styles are going to be more muted and less colorful.
I like Bonobos and Todd Snyder for when I want something more interesting. Although Todd Snyder is definitely caught in the muted colors for winter thing.
I’m not real familiar with the style, but you might have some luck searching around for “techwear” and “technical workwear”. Those pants remind me of stuff I’ve seen in that realm.
A quick search turns up the company Truewerk and they have some that look similar and have the extra pockets and similar details.
Clark chukkas are one of my go to nice, and casual shoes (boots). The Clark’s are great value for the money too. I like their Wallabees too, but those tend to be pricier and are a less universal style.
A clean pair of Adidas Stan Smiths can look good too. Really any of the simple sneakers will look good with most outfits, like these, the Nike Cortez, or whatever. I don’t like sneakers that look too technical or chunky, but that’s just me.
Johnston and Murphy has a mixed reputation and are expensive, but I’ve liked the two pairs I’ve had from them. They’ve been worth their price too, the last pair I had from them lasted about 8 years.
Significantly more here. I never really liked Reddit, but a couple of my hobbies had communities there so I felt like I had to use it. I stayed away from anything that wasn’t a niche personal interest and avoided the bigger subreddits and front page. Here I check out the front page frequently and am pretty generous with upvotes. It feels more like an investment in a community I want to be successful, and not like there’s anything intrinsic to Lemmy that encourages it.

Questions is: Are Larry, Daryl, and Daryl palate swaps or unique characters?
Interesting that even in the chain of events depicted in the comments it’s started and ended by Republicans and the poster assigns all the blame to Democrats.
