Community Opinion Part III: Favorite Clothing Piece

After a long hiatus…it’s finally back! Welcome to our third installment of “Community Opinion”, where we get the opinions of people in the know about various topics, from sneakers to streetwear to music.

This time, we’re discussing clothes. Favorite clothes to be specific. This edition’s question was “What’s your favorite piece of clothing and why?” Answers were varied, both in length and selected items, making for a great variety of opinions.
