Lucian: /* Store Tiers */

== Store Tiers ==

'''Shit-tier:''' The stores that are a common beginner's trap, and should be avoided. Often have poor build quality, fit, and just look plain bad.

'''Mall-tier/Fast Fashion:''' Good for basics; t-shirts, underwear, socks, etc. Recommended for poorfags. Buy sparsely and do NOT build a large wardrobe with these stores.

'''Low-tier:''' Bit more pricey, but at this stage odds are you'll be dressed much better than people around you. Build quality is a cut above mall tier. Tumblr-core usually fits around here.

'''Medium-tier:''' Some entry level designer pieces, and at this point the clothes are very "nice". Quality menswear/streetwear often fits in this category. Fit and build quality are high.

'''High-tier:''' High fashion, designer pieces. Top tier menswear as well as some light gothninja pieces can be found here.

'''Artisanal-tier:''' Hand-made with skill that approaches that of an artist. This has nothing to do with design and everything to do with production methods. A boring design done fully by hand (example: a full bespoke two button suit) is 'artisianal'. Many designers source their clothing from artisans, but not all designer clothing is 'artisianal'.

'''Note: Some US/UK/Aus stores will ship to New Zealand, so check them out too.'''
