Naraku4656 Posted August 9, 2019 Posted August 9, 2019 i feel like a dinosaur going to the mall whenever i need a shirt but i don't like getting stuff online because i need to know how it fits and don't feel like dealing with waiting/returning
Seight Posted August 9, 2019 Posted August 9, 2019 I'm not proud to say the answer is "mostly Kohl's."
Vamped Posted August 9, 2019 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
tsar4 Posted August 10, 2019 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.

Ginguy Posted August 10, 2019 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.
Naraku4656 Posted August 10, 2019 Author Posted August 10, 2019 i guess i'll post what i do Jos A Banks/Brooks Brothers are too plain for my taste. Men's Warehouse closed down by me, but they were ok. casual shirts: i go to the Hilfiger and Polo outlet stores about an hour away or Macy's if I'm too lazy to do that work shirts: Banana Republic only because they seem to be the only store in existence that have a slim fit that 's slim enough to where i don't have to get the shirts tailored right after buying it work pants: Macy's or Belk shoes: Clarks Bostonian/Rockport. or New Balance for casual/gym shoes Jeans: Levis for work/play or Walmart if i need to do work where i'm going to get dirty. socks/underware/et al: Target

Naraku4656 Posted August 10, 2019 Author Posted August 10, 2019 the stuff at Paul Fredrick actually doesn't look that bad, but at $95 a shirt i think i'll pass
DragonSinger Posted August 10, 2019 Posted August 10, 2019 Kohl's, Walmart, and whatever store in the mall I run into that has cute stuff on sale. Pretty much anywhere except for used clothing stores like Goodwill because wearing those clothes will majorly set off my OCD.
Naraku4656 Posted August 12, 2019 Author Posted August 12, 2019 i bought some clothes yesterday but had to take them back because i found them cheaper online. like i went on sale after i came back home lol 1
fuggstop Posted August 12, 2019 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.
Naraku4656 Posted August 12, 2019 Author 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.

Mix Posted August 12, 2019 Posted August 12, 2019 I haven't bought clothes from a brick and mortar store in over five years... Just figure out your sizes and buy a ton of shit, return most of it, keep a few nice pieces

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
zombieninjakitten Posted August 12, 2019 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. Edited August 12, 2019 by zombieninjakitten 1 1

garbagepailcat Posted August 12, 2019 Posted August 12, 2019 H&M might be good for cheaper slim fit shirt options if you’re long and skinny.

I'm such a fashionista!
