I can tell he really needs a stylist merely from the obvious desperation in his post. And what's wrong with Barneys or Mr. Porter? if you're frugal and hate paying retail, just be patient and buy everything at the end of the summer/winter i.e. 80-90% off. Major rarely pay retail, yo!
Not a Lucky fan as I'd rather buy a solid pair of 514s. Used to wear Lucky's in college and reminds me too much of that fratty A&F shat.
Good post, I don't buy my clothes, but I believe between there, J Crew,the Gap and Target for basics like t-shirts, it's a quality well priced lineup that my wife finds for me...shoes excluded.
Yep, they have started to catch up with the rest of the world. They make some pretty decent stuff now. I prefer the 514's and own a dark blue pair.
Who buys them?
I own a couple Nordstrom dress shirts and love them, but that place is expensive even during the couple of sales they have a year.
I own a few pairs, but I'm far from a fashion guru. Took me a few tries to find out which fit I liked the best (514, I think).
Surprisingly, they make very good dress shirts, just need to be tailored a little. Mossimo makes a pretty good fitted shirt as well.
just mentioned the 514s if you're on a budget. If you want quality, big fan of these selvedge 501s: http://www.mrporter.com/product/399148
Currently my favs- although just the thought of wearing jeans this time of year makes me sweat...
You're the Express guy, right (remember someone in this thread raving about them)? I just can't step into that store (i.e. Structure). Too many bad memories from their awful clothing in the early 90s. Plus, most of their stuff is made for teenage girls.
I don't think that was me. I get stuff from them when they have a huge sale, like 75% off most stuff a couple months ago, but normally it's overpriced and crappy quality. I do really like their jeans and polos/tees when they're on sale. Not really sure what you mean by "made for teenage girls". They have some pretty cool stuff, but as I said, the quality is poor for the price unless you catch them on sale. I'd love to get everything at Nordstrom and only wear AEs but that's not the life I live right now.eta: Looks like Fin already pointed out the poor quality part.Major said:
My skin color, or shoes?
pipe down there slob and go back to researching your fantasy TEs.Oh great. major AND finless are in here.
used to be hard (10 yrs ago) to find cool kicks at a reasonable price....now, all sorts of casual sneaks for a reasonable price. I'm partial to Common Projects (http://www.barneys.com/on/demandware.store/Sites-BNY-Site/default/Product-Show?pid=502707118&cgid=mens-shoes&index=0 ) but you can find some more affordable options from the likes of Fred Perry and ALIFE on zappos and amazon.The Z Machine said:
shoes. I own a white pair that I wear with a few different things, not a neon(shoe color) guy myself.
Damn!sorry bro...i always pictured you as a 45 year old Walmart security guard by day. 5'8 pushing 225, wearing hockey jerseys and denim shorts by night.Whoa.... you took me all wrong. I like looking good in stylish, casual clothing. I'm just not the guy who's gonna voluntarily wear a tie very often.You guys are a bunch of slobs. Have you given up on life already? live a little. Spend more than $15 on jeans.It was very much a joke. The only time I'm wearing a tie is when I'm married and buried.Hmmm. Do you have a new girlfriend or something?Any of you rock a bow-tie? I think it's time.
Time to retire your horrible shtick. You can only post so many mr porter links to $9,000 sandals before everyone finds you terribly tiresome.pipe down there slob and go back to researching your fantasy TEs.Oh great. major AND finless are in here.

Kohl's, Macy's, Nordstrom, Dillard's are a huge step up from Old Navy and probably not much more expensive. But they have a lot of crap, too. You just have to pick through it.
This is about right. Again, Mr. Porter and Barneys at 80-90% off > all this rubbish
Nordstrom >>> Macys = Dillards > Kohls >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Old Navy
Nordstrom is so far ahead of all of those.
Nordstrom in the same park as Saks and Neimans. They get points off for some crap brands but great customer service. I like the fact you can buy something there, wear it for a month and return it without questions.
