Vamped Posted August 9, 2019 Share Posted August 9, 2019 I go to one store because I know all the pants are long enough for me I need to figure out where to get my shoes from now. I used to go to Payless because they had shoes for my big feet =_= Now I dunno where to go. I already wear mens sneakers, trying not to wear men's deess shoes too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tsar4 Posted August 10, 2019 Share Posted August 10, 2019 shirts - landsend.com - got some corporate logo'd shirts from them once at work, very comfortable, fit well & held up for a few years. Now they're my go to for shirts. levi's - sears.com (unless Levi's were mislabled at the factory, the sizes are always true). shoes - famous footwear or sears, in-store. Size has to be right, that's why in-store. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ginguy Posted August 10, 2019 Share Posted August 10, 2019 Suits: Jos A. Bank usually. Shirtings: Paul Fredrick and Charles Tyrwhitt (both online) Knowing your sizes is a must. Slacks: Kohl's usually (Dockers are plentiful and consistent) or Men's Wearhouse/Jos A. Bank if I need something a bit more formal Jeans/socks/teeshirts/boxers : Walmart Shoes: I got a local guy who gives me a discount if I pay cash. Generally I would suggest Zappos for online. Florsheim, Rockport and Johnston & Murphy are my go to brands, and they all have direct sites as well. Bottom line, know your measurements and find companies that are true to the sizing. The ones I listed are true to their sizing. Also, never buy a suit online. Ever. If you absolutely have to, buy it an inch larger and unhemmed, and go to a good local tailor to have it fitted properly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DragonSinger Posted August 10, 2019 Share Posted August 10, 2019 Kohl's, Walmart, and whatever store in the mall I run into that has cute stuff on sale.

fuggstop Posted August 12, 2019 Share Posted August 12, 2019 I just went to kohls this weekend and all their fucking clothes sucked. They had young girl graphic tees that madison like but when she picked it up the stomach part was cut out. She begged for and i had to say no.. Then all the shirts were like that or weirdly cut. Then i could barely find anything decent or even nice for her. Kohls has really gone down hill. Jcpenney had much nicer stuff and even big girl stuff for me. I kinda wanna take all the kohls stuff back and get my fucking money back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Naraku4656 Posted August 12, 2019 Author Share Posted August 12, 2019 my stepmom likes kohls but i could never care for them. penneys used to have pretty decent jeans and polo shirts but they changed the material over the years and it became itchy.

Paul Fredrick is silly though because it's 95-115 for one shirt and you'd still have to pay shipping. for a good work shirt i don't see any reason to pay more than $50. anything more than that and you're paying for a name Edited August 12, 2019 by Naraku4656 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zombieninjakitten Posted August 12, 2019 Share Posted August 12, 2019 (edited) Honestly, I get most of my clothes from thrift stores especially jeans and flannel shirts. My fandom t-shirts I get in the men's department at Walmart. But, there is one thrift store here that is super cheap and has jeans for like $3 and often has "all clothes $1" sales quite often. I even get my boxer shorts, bras, and socks from there occasionally (about $.50 per boxer, bra, pair of socks) which is kind of gross to some people but a little bleach in my wash takes care of my germaphobia. I don't have much luck with shoes at thrift stores so I get mine at Walmart most of the time and they're around $10. Being on disability/Social Security has taught me a lot about being a frugal shopper but I've always kinda shopped at thrift stores it's just now I rely on them more heavily. I don't care about brands but I have Calvin Klein jeans that I paid $1 for and many, many Marvel tshirts from Walmart that were only $5.
