If you like the japan-made and/or workwear-oriented stuff, I'd recommend leaning more into actual vintage repro style. You don't need to go full blown coal miner railroad conductor depression era autism mode, but start browsing the catalogs of companies like Real McCoys, Buzz Rickson, Warehouse, and Freewheelers. You can grab vintage pieces from these companies to put together a casual outfit with some elements of modern streetwear fashion. A lot of times I'll search specific pairs of repro jeans on instagram and then browse all the worldwide posts of dudes wearing those jeans or some other piece of interest within the context of a full outfit. A lot of them are very autismo larp, but some of them are fairly well put together and casual/natural looking, especially those from actual Japanese instagram users. Leaning more into a repro-inspired style will be more classic and timeless, which is a pretty safe bet if you're already in your 30s. The issue with companies like Freenote or especially RGT is that they are stuck in the relatively short-lived 2010 millennial era where all their jeans are either pretty slim relative to an actual vintage 501 cut, or they have an absurd amount of taper which makes you look homosexual. Things like heavy weight denim, tapered cuts, slim cuts are extremely millennial coded. Yes, you are a millennial, but the fashion that millennials were known for arguably looks awful especially compared to the classic american pieces of clothing that were tied to counterculture and rebellion in the 40s-60s.
