Friday OT #1 - Fashion! Turn to the Left.

[Angie]

I'm running low on ideas today, guys. So here's one.

I know a lot of guys hate clothes shopping - as do a lot of girls. How do you find your clothes, what stores, do you do it online vs in person? Do you try clothes on, or does that drive you NUTS?

 

[Cyclonepride]

I dress like a child. All jeans, shorts and tee shirts.

 

[CloniesForLife]

Hate going to a store to get clothes. I have a few brands that I like that fit me well and are comfortable so I pretty much only buy those brands and all online

 

[Angie]

Are you guys faithful to certain brands?

Step 1: Find something I like that is comfortable.
Step 2: Wear it until it literally falls apart.
Step 3: Repeat once a decade.

 

[VeloClone]

I get new clothes when Mrs. Velo gets sick of what I wear and brings me home something new.

Yes, my wife essentially dresses me.

TJ Maxx, $7 is about what I'm willing to spend on a t-shirt, I might go to $12 for a name brand, TJ is usually around that.

 

[coolerifyoudid]

I just try to stay in shape enough so I fit in what I currently own and never have to buy new clothes.

 

[JP4CY]

I like to buy unique local t shirts. Like Bozz Prints, Raygun type shirts. Love to buy them on vacation too.

Tough to explain the brand but they are softer t shirts and have narrow skinny collar tags.

For jeans, Levi's. "Model number" has varied through the years.

 

[CRcyclone6]

I don't mind clothes shopping in stores, prefer it actually. But....if I can't try something on, it's a no go.

 

[ISUCyclones2015]

50% of my clothes is Amazon Basics these days lol

 

[Entropy]

I shop occasionally in person for clothes, and when I find something that I like and it fits, I pretty much stick with the brand.

I like to wear button up shirts, blazers, sweaters, ties (and bowties), and more casual dress pants/khakis.
I'll occasionally wear a full suit to conferences.

I absolutely hate buying clothes and shoes. Dressing rooms creep me out. Some person putting a shoe on my foot creeps me out. Those multiple mirrors creep me out.

I buy most things online. I can sometimes muster up my courage to try things on in Kohl’s cause their dressing rooms look like a tornado dropped a bunch of clothes in there and there are always enough people in there that no worker is going to try and help me and if there is a perv present someone else will hear my scream. Plus I can return the Amazon stuff that didn’t fit there.

Have to sing in a wedding in June though. Just ordered shoes on Amazon. Stressing a bit about a dress though. Probably do the Amazon try before you buy deal.

For work/outdoor shoes I definitely am. Oboz until I die (or my sole wears away).

Duluth TC underwear for me.

 

[ImJustKCClone]

My "fashion sense" (if I ever had any) has gone the way of the Dodo. I now shop for comfortable, not fashionable.

When I used to buy nicer suits, dresses, clothes, I cruised the back racks at high end stores in the mall for suits & dresses. You could pick up a $250 suit for pennies on the dollar, and a good suit will last forever if you take care of it and your size doesn't change.

 

[dahliaclone]

I like the way Untuckit shirts fit me so I'm pretty loyal to them.

I am also a big fan of clothing companies that do a lot in terms of giving back/sustainability, etc. so companies like Patagonia, Cotopaxi, Prana, and Feat we really like.

I just stumbled upon a brand of jeans are are insanely soft, stretchy and so comfortable. I gave one pair online a shot and ended up buying all their different colors of the same jean. They're called Duer.

 

[madguy30]

Whatever I buy, it's usually at Kohls. Huge discounts are worth the weird wait.

Although they've added self check out.

Only halfway expensive stuff is at REI or similar that's more durable/lighter etc.

Yeah, they have a hard time moving clothes in munchkin sizes.
