I switched from raw denim to khaki at some point in the last 2 years. Also got back into sneakers. I think Covid had a lot to do with this. I used to have a clear separation between work and casual clothes. Now that I don't see many clients in person, they've both kind of drifted into the same thing.
Used to be raw denim, boots, and a t-shirt. Now khaki's, Jordans/Adidas, and more varied shirts.

Work is blue pants, grey sport coat and a white or blue dress shirt, no tie. I have about 20 of each garment item in varying shades, and just stick to the formula. I can pull any coat, pant, and shirt off the rack, and they will always co-ordinate. Being color blind, it makes things easy. In the summer I'll rotate in a company golf shirt a couple days a week.
When I find shoes that fit well, I'll buy 6 pairs and be good for about 3 years. I have screwy feet, and shoes that actually fit are difficult to find. In my business, you're lucky to get 6-8 months out of a pair of shoes. My current cache is some black Clarke's with a French toe-cap that fit perfectly. I'm looking forward to breaking the seal on pair 3 once the snow/ice clears.
When I'm not working, I pretty much look like a lumberjack, or like I'm camping.
My big fashion no-no is branding, of any kind. I cannot stand printed shirts, big logos, or branding on anything I own. I looks tacky in my opinion, and dates stuff. My only exception to that rule is the Flames logo, or my company logo on a work shirt.
Well, these days, either a pair of rinsed Sugar Cane relaxed fit jeans, or a pair of Battenwear fatigues. On top is a tee shirt from my pal's store and a Real McCoy sweatshirt.
Shoes are usually these kinda weird Nike ACG hiker type things. If I go out, either an Arc'teryx puffy like everyone or an Engineered Garments corduroy fatigue coat thing with a billion pockets.

A Travis Mathew polo and jeans 80% of the time. Usually I will stick to a slim (not skinny, those days are gone) jean like a Konrad or Machray in Silver's. In the warmer days I will go fully TM kitted with the TM pant, but they are just too cold in the winter. I get lazy with my shoes and just go with whatever hasn't sold and in my size. I change them every 6 months anyways so I try not to get too attached. Now golf shoes on the other hand I have quite a few for different conditions/outfits/trips/etc.
the name and logo of my sports team I'm on with my friends. Also ironed on. We don't actually play any sports, but we get team discounts when we go out drinking, so that's pretty cool.
These types of life hacks are why I wanted the "Ask Sliver" anonymous advice columnist thread

My most-worn piece of clothing is a sweater that previously belonged to my wife's grandfather: a heavy, cable-knit, Inuit-made button-up sweater. Usually I'll pair it with a wool ballcap and denim non-blue trousers.

I used to wear a fitted suit every day to work for the past 2 years.
Ever since Covid-19 began a year ago, my daily uniform has been the following:
1. dark blue Members Only jacket
2. dark blue Levi's 511 (2 identical pairs cycled in the wash)
3. George brand black t-shirt from Wal Mart (3 shirts, cycled in the wash)
4. George brand grey socks from Wal Mart (10 pairs, cycled in the wash)
5. George brand sneakers from Wal Mart
Jeans or tan/brown cotton pants, CP Achilles shoes in white or grey, and a button down, polo or tee. In winter, a lightweight down jacket, in spring / summer a leather jacket or a lighter weight one like a varsity if it's too warm for leather.
In really cold weather, Alden boots plus jeans, a flannel and a puffy jacket over top, with gloves. Sometimes a toque.
Then there's the hot day summer uniform which is the same shoes or boat shoes, plus shorts and a short sleeve button up or a polo, and ray ban wayfarer nomads in black or tortoise.
Generally carrying a Filson 256 or 258.

Real life: jeans that im not particular about at all, harley Davidson / Sturgis black hills shirts and boots almost all year round. Im not a man of style in the slightest, but I know what I like
