Where do you buy your clothes

[DJ MEW]

I just got back the mall. I got a 25$ gift certificate for Guess and wanted to catch the after christmas sales.

While I was in the mall I noticed that everything there was ugly and I hated it all of it.

Where are the good clothing stores, where are the nice looking clothes at.

I hate long sleeve and anything that has a lot of random words and stupid pictures on it, this includes novelty Tees.

1. Do you mind if I ask how old you are?

That's the way I felt when I went shopping on Boxing Day. I thought it might be my age (40s) that's the problem. Or are the clothes really just ugly, if not downright trashy looking?

5. trashy is the prefect description

I am 24, I went to The Gap, Guess, Abercombie, ect and did not see anything worth buying. Pants and Jeans are easier for me to find stuff that I like but shirts are impossible.

10. Interesting that you're so young and you agree with me

Nice to know it's not just a generational thing.
I agree with several of the recommendations already made. The last time I was in Banana Republic, there were some okay things, although not right for me. (I'm a petite).

2. Nordstrom, Penneys, Macy's

Good clothes, and often, very good sales.

3. Goodwill.

Wide selection, good brands and it's $4 or less for most clothing.

4. plato's closet

brand names, jeans/nice shirts/nice pants all for ~10 bucks or so...

7. Sam's Club !!!!!!

Sorry, if it is Wal-Mart or owned by Walp-Mart I am not going to shop there.

8. LL Bean, Eddie Bauer, Land's End (which is at Sears)

I also find decent stuff at Hecht's (now Macy's) and Kohl's. Casual stuff isn't too bad, but I have trouble finding reasonable, age appropriate work clothes.

9. Men's Wearhouse, Barney's, Saks, Macy's, Armani Exchange, etc.

It is pretty much impossible to find good clothing in a mall, unless it has an upscale department store.

Gap, Guess, Old Navy, and pretty much every fucking clothes store in a mall has nothing but shit for the most part. Certainly nothing you'd want to wear to anything beyond a "let's get trashed on cheap booze at the beach while listening to the latest in corporate-produced rock because we're hip and we know so because the company I bought these pants from tells me I'm hip" party.

Although I buy my undershirts at JC Penney's since they have really nice soft ones for a good price, and I get my underwear usually at Sears or JC Penney's, since they're cheap and they have calvin klein and other underwear, even though I wouldn't buy anything "dressy" from either store.

11. I stick to department stores

JC Penny, Dayton's, Yonker's, Kohl's.
I also went to Old Navy recently and found that they had some decent clothes as well.

12. Banana Republic is my new favorite

Kinda pricey, though.

And I guess I just like trashy too! Bebe is my all time favorite women's clothing store, but getting my wife to wear anything from there is like pulling teeth. Feh! Personally I think most people dress too "old" for themselves, but most people disagree with me. I hate it when my wife (early 30's) dresses like she's in her mid 50's. I say go for Mid 20's as long as you can baby!

13. i buy thrift and consignment, i'm a size easy to find

however if you don't like the clothes at guess, you can get a nice wallet or sometimes even a cute evening bag in the $25 range, i once even got a pair of leather boots on sale there for $35, i must have pleased the gods of caesars forum shoppes that day

what is the not liking long sleeve fetish, i've met several other people w. that, usually men though

i do like prints & color but for $25 shirt you buy, yeah, a million other people will have the same shirt

gift cards suck, if they had given you $25 in cash you'd have so many more options, heck you could buy a bottle of halfway decent wine or something
