Where do you shop?


It seems the only thing I wear is jeans from Bluenotes, sweaters from Bluenotes and Sears, and band tees from concerts.

I have a desire to dress nicer, i.e. blazers and dress pants but I have no idea where to go. Or even where to go outside of my two stores to find some nice casual clothes. The only places I see on my wandering are conglomerates like Wal-Mart and Old Navy and American Eagle that have absolutely nada.

i shop almost exclusively at american apparel and second hand stores

Sorry, but I hate to heart WalMart.

They have what I need- cheap jeans. It's a must in my line of work. I find as soon as they wear out, the fashions have changed anyway.

i don't think i've bought a t-shirt in the last year that hasn't come from threadless.com. it's just so cool.

hey, that is pretty cool. i wish i didn't like techno so that i could buy that "god hates techno" shirt.

I suspect it's really quite pathetic to dress head to toe in trendy, expensive skateboard labels even though I'm almost 31 and don't skateboard.

But hell, I do it anyway.

Other than a semi-annual trip to Kohls, I don't really shop. I own roughly 3 pairs of pants, 7 shirts (t-shirts or otherwise), 10 pairs of socks, and 8 pairs of boxers. Nothing ever fits me properly.

i shop at...

ron jon surf shop
www.threadless.com
www.karmaloop.com
the gap

I miss Ron Jon's, that was a cool store; I haven't been to Cocoa Beach in years.

I'm actually going out to buy a cheap suit today. This will be the first bit of clothes I've bought about 6 months.

Business attire, almost exclusively from Jos A. Bank...they are cheaper than Brooks Brothers, comparable quality, and carry mu size in everything.

If you want some nice and failry cheap blazers and shit, hit up The Gap...thye always have something on sale.

Lately I've been shopping Orvis as well, and polo.com. I hate shopping, so I have found the places that consistently have clothes in my size and stick to those.

I don't pigeonhole myself, but it's usually some sort of Yankee Jersey, something from the Gap, or recently A&F.

I think Jos Bank is better quality. I love Brooks Brothers stuff, but everything I've ever gotten from there really hasn't held up that well except a blue linen blazer that I've seem to have misplacen.

depending how thrifty i feel, either a mall-type of place like foleys (who had a decent rave line last i was there) or ross. rarely target.

i haven't clothes shopped (for myself) in a loooong time.

My usual stops whilst clothing shopping

Club Monaco
Bannana Republic
The Gap
Lacoste
Bloomingdales
Rich's
Nordstrom
Urban Outfitters
Goodwill

somehow the combination of these two made it seem like you listed Costington's as one of the stores.

/simpsons reference

"Over 100 Year's Without A Slogan"

i hit up the Nordstrom Rack, Banana Republic - I generally hate shopping for clothes, however.

urban outfitters
band t-shirts
thrift stores
various online stores

Nordstrom/Nordstrom Rack
TJ Maxx
Banana Republic
The Gap
Meier & Frank
Target (for the basics)
Old Navy (for the basics that I don't plan on wearing more than a season)

At work.... dat discount.

Sometimes the Gap, and once in a blue moon J Crew has a men's S or Xs t-shirt. Mostly, the wife is somewhere and sees something she likes for me, and buys it. Win-win.

EDIT: Usually that "somewhere" is the thrift store. Got some great ones in town.

Puma
American Apparel
second-hand or thrift stores (usually @ my friend's shop called Raggedy Threads)
Urban Outfitters

jeans- i prefer Seven's.
sneakers- i prefer Puma's.
other shoes- various stores.
skirts/tops- vintage/second-hand, occasionally Urban Outfitters if there's a sale

the ceo of urban outfitters is a big donor to Rick Santorum. just an fyi for anyone who cares. doubtful anyone does.

i can't choose between

and

this just somehow all makes sense

I have about 8 button-down shirts from them.
