Frank & Oak is a vertically integrated online menswear brand with premium threads and a simple, integrated, and personalized shopping experience. The Montreal based brand deals almost exclusively in a Traditional clothing style, or what is generally referred to as "Men's Wear". Launched in February of 2012, Frank & Oak's goal is to provide quality Men's Wear at an acceptable price. Through a small in house design team and outsourced labour, Frank & Oak is able to keep costs fairly low while providing usable, quality products.

One of the more unique aspects of Frank & Oak is the fact that a new collection is released every month. This means that each piece is produced in very small quantities thus making it difficult to purchase the more popular items.

== Membership ==

Frank & Oak, like many online only retailers, requires that a customer becomes a member to view their products. A unique membership type called the Hunt Club allows customers to order a Hunt Club Crate which is shipped at no charge. Filled with 3 pieces from the month's new collection, the Hunt Club Partner is then expected to try each piece to find if he likes them or not, then simply ship the crate back and pay for what he keeps.

== User Opinions ==

'''SWR''' I dig some of their stuff. I'm not a Hunt Club member simply because I don't buy from F&O enough to warrant something like that, but I do like what I have purchased from there. I don't really wear it much though. The oxfords are probably my favorite thing they sell. The sweaters feel thin, but that's to be expected. In general, it's a good place to pick up some mens wear basics. I'm also fairly tall and the tops fit me fine.

Acne

SWR: /* User Reviews and Notes */

== Synopsis ==
[[File:ACNE logo.jpg|300px|thumb]]
Acne is a Swedish clothing brand selling high quality knits, denim, and footwear. Acne Studios a part of ACNE (Ambition to Create Novel Expression), was founded in 1996 by Jonny Johansson. The story goes that he created one-hundred pairs of raw denim with red stitching to give away to his friends and family. The reception was positive so he began to create clothing on a larger scale.

Acne Studios utilizes a fairly minimalist approach towards design. The brand tends to stay away from using their logo in excess; instead opting for simpler tags and packets. The idea behind the designs is to create a simple, almost apathetic look, while still being refined.

There are currently 21 Acne Studio stores in different countries around the world.

== /fa/'s Opinion ==

Viewed as basic, but generally well liked. The denim is especially noteworthy.

New to /fa/? Here's where to find some wardrobe essentials on the cheap.

This [[introduction]] is a '''strongly recommended''' read for both genders.

[http://us.asos.com/ ASOS]

== Tops ==
The first step to buying clothes is getting all of the essentials. Than you can start to discover your own style and how you want to dress.

This means '''tank tops, camis, t-shirts''', etc in variety of colors. This way you can layer them with other pieces like cardigans and jackets.

Then try different patterns and collars. For example maybe pair a cute patterned shirt with a simple black skater skirt. Don't over-do color and prints.

If you have a bigger chest, avoid tops with high necklines and/or ruffles. You will appear too top-heavy.
If you are more curvy, choose tops with accentuated waists to highlight your curves. Tops with a scoop-neck or v-neck adds to the hourglass-effect. Avoid large patterns.
For those with larger stomachs, avoid tight or close-fitting tops. Look for flowy, loose tops. Not too loose that your figure is lost. Horizontal shirring is good at hiding whatever it is you've got stored around there.
If you've got bigger arms, wear tops with sleeves that aren't too tight, but flowy like butterfly sleeves.

'''AVOID:'''

''Mixing prints and patterns''. Before you start doing this you need to have a good understanding and sense of fashion. No plaid and stripes.

''Animal print''. Ratchet

== Dresses ==
Your beginner dress should be a simple black dress. This can be worn up or worn down, and is appropriate for almost all occasions. You can wear a cardigan over it or pair it with a belt in a bright color.

From there you can move on to different colors, patterns and style of dresses:

*Sundresses are comfortable and versatile, especially in warmer climates.

*Maxi dresses are classic and elegant but are best pulled off by long and sleek people.

*Shirtdresses, provided they are well made (see 'DRESSES TO AVOID' below).

*Skater/fit and flare dresses, often look good as they accentuate the waist and can make you appear thinner than you really are.

*Bodycon (short for body conscious) dresses adhere to the body and are best worn by those who are thin or do not have excessive weight.

DRESSES TO AVOID:

*Dresses with ruffles. They will look out of place and create an unflattering silhouette.

*High-low dresses. These are a fleeting trend and will only look outdated soon.

*Shirtdresses can go terribly wrong. Avoid ones with plaid and those made of inferior materials.

*Avoid showy patterns and prints, because they will make your body look stretched out.

*Be careful of strapless dresses. They can easily lead to a nip slip.

Of course with all things, exceptions can be made. Use your judgement when considering if a dress is an exception.

== Pants/Shorts ==
'''Jeans'''

Jeans are essential to a new wardrobe, and it's important to buy the right pair that suits you.
When buying jeans dark washed and black are usually what you want to look for. Make sure there is no gap in the back of your pants when you sit down. If you must wear pants with a gap, sew some elastic to the band so it fits more snugly around your waist.

*'''Straight Leg Jeans''' can be worn by practically anyone. These are great for curvy ("plus sized"), boyish figures, really anyone can wear these.

*'''Skinny Jeans''' - Should ONLY be worn by skinny people. If you're curvy, they will ''not'' flatter.

*'''Flare Jeans''' - Flattering if you're more curvy. The flare balances out wideness in the thighs or hips.

*'''Boyfriend/Boy-fit Jeans''' - Most flattering if you are tall and skinny. Balance the boyish cut with feminine accessories, heels to add to height.

'''Shorts'''

Make sure there is no ass-cheek showing. I mean, unless you're like that.

*'''Denim Shorts''' - Very casual. You can cut off the legs of old jeans and hem the edges if you have a lot of them laying around. Don't over-do the rips/cut-off style.

*'''Bermuda Shorts''' - A more preppy look, or for those more conscious about their thighs. They end above the knee.

*'''Capris''' - Capris end below the knee. Choose some that aren't too baggy around the leg, with a more slim fit. Roll up some jeans or pants to get a capri-effect.

'''Dress Pants/Slacks'''

Wear for business/semi-formal occasions. Choose dark, neutral colors as you probably won't have that many pairs. Wide-leg and flare style works best here. Make sure they are not too tight. Make sure the length is tailored to your heel or flat height because there's nothing worse than getting your heel caught in your pants. For a quick fix, try hemming tape. Make sure the outline of your pockets cannot be seen through your pants.

== Skirts ==

Many women are most comfortable in a t-shirt and jeans. But skirts and flattering and major in fashion.

*'''Flare/A-line skirt''' - These basic skirts are very flattering and are a staple in every women's wardrobe. These skirts have a lot of volume, so it's important to pair it with a simple shirt. Something like a plain white tank-top or a basic patterned t-shirt would pull the look together.

*'''Pencil skirt''' - These can be used for almost any event, from work to going out. They are very form fitting.

*'''Maxi skirt''' - Only young, skinny tall girls should wear these (or short girls in heels). However, they are perfect for summer and days on the beach.

== Outerwear ==

There are two kinds of outerwear, a lighter outerwear that you would wear in spring and fall, and the heavier outerwear that you would wear during the winter season. Outerwear should not be flashy or have embellishments all over. Outerwear should be minimal and keep you warm while looking good.

'''Lighter Outerwear'''

*Denim jacket- Should hit at the waist and should not be the same color as your jeans unless you are aiming for a Canadian Tuxedo. Use this to create a casual look.

*Bomber jacket- This style is usually in either a cotton or leather (faux-leather) and can be used for a casual look.

*Utility jacket/light parka- This is usually a cotton, twill, or another light and durable fabric. This jacket usually has a lot of pockets and can make you look bulky up top if you are not careful.

'''Heavier Outerwear'''

*Trenchcoat- This classic style should hit the middle of your hip to your knee and should be made from a water-repelling fabric. This coat is versatile and can be casual or dressed up. Trenchcoat are traditionally tan or black (look best and easiest to pull off), but other colors are available as well (harder to pull off).

*Anorak/Parka- Made of a heavier fabric and should hit at mid-thigh. Some parkas/anoraks also have a removable lining thus making them versatile to use in fall and spring. This is a very casual coat.

*Peacoat- This is a standard and somewhat dressy coat as they are typically made of wool. A peacoat should hit the hip to the mid-thigh.

== Shoes ==
Make sure your feet are moisturized and your toe nails are done if they are showing. No need to paint all of them if not all of them are showing. 
'''Flats''' - Flats are usually half to a full size smaller than your normal shoe size. If they're too big, they'll slip off at the heel. This can also be fixed with inserts or sticking cotton in the toe of the shoe. When trying them on, make sure the 'toe cracks' are fully covered by the toe of the shoe. Essentials are black flats and roll-up ballet flats to switch in/out of if you're wearing heels.

'''Heels''' - Do not buy heels higher than 4 1/2 in heels. Any higher and you're in drag queen/high school attention whore territory. Lower heels for the day, higher for going out at night. You can't go wrong with blacks, nudes and other neutral colors. Shiny heels are fancier than matte textures, so keep in mind the occasion. Make sure the sides of the heel fit flush with the sides of your feet and make sure than you can walk properly in them. Walk around the store a bit to get a feel of how the heels fit. As with flats, make sure no 'toe crack' is showing.

'''Sandals''' - Sandals come in a variety of styles, from flat to heeled to wedge. Choose whatever style you like best. If you have a narrower foot, choose sandals with thinner straps. If your foot is wider, choose sandals with wider straps. Sometimes thong sandals can rub between toes, so be wary of that. They also tend to have little to no arch support so they aren't the best shoe to wear for long periods of time.

'''Boots''' - Come in many styles, including cowboy, combat, heeled, riding, etc. Make sure you get a height that works best with your leg shape. If you're tall with slim legs you can probably wear most styles. If your calves are wider, choose mid-calf length. If you're short, choose shorter boots as tall boots will make you appear shorter. Black and brown boots are best to start with. If you'd like, get some with a little heel for femininity and/or height.

== Accessories ==
Choose either silver or gold accessories, depending on your skin tone. If your tones are cooler, choose silver. If they're warmer, then gold.

On deciding between earrings, bracelets or necklaces, you can only pick '''2'''.

Statement jewelry is an easy way to spruce up an outfit, though they can go out of style rather quickly.

'''Wrist'''

Mens' style watches are a classic style, make sure that they aren't too big to not appear too masculine. Stick with either gold or silver.
Bracelets come in a variety of styles. Don't get carried away. Try to match them to each other.

'''Earrings'''

You can't go wrong with simple diamond studs. Pearl earrings dress up an outfit easily.

'''Necklaces'''

Thin necklaces draw attention to your collar bones, if you've got nice ones. No big charms or anything too chunky. A safe and simple way to dress up an outfit is with a pearl necklace. Necklaces look best with bare shoulders or deeper necklines.

'''Scarves, Hats, Gloves, Glasses, etc.'''

Scarves made of lighter material such as linen, cotton or chiffon can be worn in the summer. Choose lighter colors and patterns. Heavier materials such as wool and any of its artificial bastardizations are for cold weather, fall or winter seasons. Their main function is for warmth. If your wardrobe lacks pattern, scarves are an easy way to add something different to your daily wear.

== Hair ==

[[File:TBDfaceshapes1.jpg|200px|thumb|right|]]

When picking out your hair, it's important to know your face type. This will help you understand what haircut will flatter you best. But remember this is just a general guide line, and don't forget your other facial features that your hair cut will effect.

'''Round Face Type'''

Short Hair- Rounder faces are perfect for pixie cuts. If your comfortable going shorter than texture, curls and "spiky layers" will look great.

Medium Length- For this cut go down to the collarbone/shoulders.

Long Hair- Get layers (preferably near the jawline)! They'll add a lot of volume and interest to your hair.

'''Diamond Face Type'''

'''Heart Face Type'''

Short hair- Short, textured layers will be perfect for a heart shaped face. Make sure to keep the length simple and clean.

Medium Length- Cut it to the collarbone and add layers.

Long Hair- Go for longer layers, and wavy hair with a lot of texture will look good.

'''Rectangle Face Type'''

'''Oblong Face Type'''

'''Pear Face Type'''

'''Oval Face Type'''

Short hair- A sleek chin length bob is the best way to go short.

Medium Length- Go for a shoulder length blowout =, which a lot of volume.

Long hair- Just do whatever.

== Make-up ==

Make-up can be a great way to express yourself and can accentuate your outfits.

thebeautydepartment.com has some great guides (here's their list of best buys: [http://thebeautydepartment.com/2013/04/our-favorite-beauty-sources/], i highly suggest you visit it), but here are some basics:

'''Eyes'''

*'''Mascara''' - Mascara is a basic makeup, used to thicken and lengthen eyelashes. It comes in a tube, with a "wand" inside that you use to apply. If you're looking for an easy, affordable mascara then L'Oreal Voluminous Original is cheap and a good starter. For daytime makeup, try to match your eyelash color to the mascara color (blondes and redheads can wear brown, black suits brunettes well). Black mascara gives a dramatic look. When you are testing mascaras make.sure the formula doesn't clump (resulting in spider eyes) or run (raccoon eyes). If you're short on time, apply mascara vertically to create a natural line without eyeliner. If you curl your lashes, do so before applying mascara.

'''Great mascaras to purchase'''

'''Drugstore Tier''' - [Covergirl lash blast][http://www.poorlittlerichgirls.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/09/lash-blast.jpg], [Maybeline great lash][http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-VON5NoVslCg/T0IGuQQt9WI/AAAAAAAAC14/kr6BpuAjIrM/s640/maybelline+great+lash+lots+of+lashes+mascara+review.jpg]. Both give voluminous+lengthened lashes without clump for under $10

'''Mall Tier''' - [Mac False lashes][http://www.temptalia.com/mac-false-lashes-mascara-review-photos-swatches], [Mac Haute & Naughty][http://www.temptalia.com/mac-haute-naughty-lash-mascara-review-photos], [Lancome Doll Lashes][http://www.sephora.com/hypnose-doll-lashes-mascara-P293302], and [Lancome Hypnose Drama][http://www.sephora.com/hypnose-drama-instant-full-body-volume-mascara-P244006]. Awesome mascaras, all ranging from $20-$25

'''High End Tier''' - [Givenchy Eye Fly][http://www.sephora.com/eye-fly-lash-extender-mascara-P129702], [Diorshow Mascara][http://reviews.sephora.com/8723/P40404/reviews.htm], [Armani Eyes to Kill][http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/giorgio-armani-eyes-to-kill-mascara/3036953#BVRRWidgetID], [Geurlain 'Noir G'][http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/guerlain-noir-g-mascara/3255108?origin=related-3255108-60155320-1-6-2-Rich%20Relevence&BaseUrl=Mascara&PageCategoryId=PP]. Fantastic mascaras if you are willing to spend the cash. Ranging from $25-$50

*'''Eye-Liner'''- Eye-liner does exactly what you think it does - you apply it on the contours of your eye and it can dramatically change your appearance. Many people are intimidated by eye-liner but all it requires is a steady hand. Soft pencils are the easiest eye-liner for beginners. There are dozens of tutorials on Youtube that can teach you how to apply eyeliner - don't be afraid to try different styles and see which ones you like!

*'''Eye Shadow''' - Eye shadow is applied on the eyelids and comes in a variety of colors. Brands like NYC have cheap "starter packs" of primer, brush and eyeshadows that accentuate your eye color. Don't be afraid to experiment, but save the truly out-there colors for when you have a firm grasp on color theory and can properly match your eyeshadow to your skin tone, eye color and outfit.

'''Lips'''

*'''Lip balm''' - Lip balm is typically used to help people with chapped lips and is your basic. It makes your lips smooth and hydrated - without this, your lipstick would look terrible. It can come in various flavors, colors and with all sorts of shit added. If possible, look for something with an SPF of 15-30. If it's your thing, buy one with some color, but keep in mind it's going to be very faint.

*'''Lip gloss''' - Lip gloss gives you sheen and color. It's essentially the middle of the lip color spectrum, with lip balm being the lowest and lipstick being the higher, and lip stains being the highest.

*'''Lipstick''' - Lipstick comes in a shitton of colors, so stick with basic neutrals for the mean time. Make sure to not smear it everywhere (the simple hand or napkin test works well).

*'''Lip Liner''' - Lip liner is applied to your lips after lipstick to fill uneven areas. Make sure to match your line color to your lipstick color, or better yet, buy an invisible lip liner.

*'''Lip stain''' - Basically a more intense lipstick. It stains your lips, so make sure you don't smear it everywhere. On the plus side, it lasts longer and doesn't fade away.

Remember if you're going to do something bold with your eye make-up, keep the lips simple.

'''Face'''

*'''Foundation'''-Foundation's perfect for those wanting to conceal redness, dark spots, and other imperfections. Go for something light and not to thick. When using liquid use a sponge, they're cheap and help a lot. Be careful with powder, it can cake on so add carefully.

When buying foundation you should test it on the back of your hand or against your cheek-bone. Don't order online. If you can't find your shade ask someone at the store, Sephora and Ulta always have someone willing to help.

*'''Concealer'''-People on /fa/ love under-eye circles, but if you want to cover them up, go for it. This is perfect for concealing embarrassing blemishes and pimples.

*'''Blush/Bronzer'''-BE CAREFUL! You don't want to look like a clown. Make sure to find the right shade for you, because It's all dependent on your skin tone.

'''Nails'''

*Ideal nails are ones that look healthy, whether they are long or short. Obviously don't go to the extremes - very long nails are obnoxious, nails bit to their stubs are gross. Above all, just keep your nails healthy [http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/nails/WO00020 See this guide if you need help with this.]

If you are more curvy, choose tops with accentuated waists to highlight your curves. Tops with a scoop-neck or v-neck adds to the hourglass-effect. Avoid large patterns.
For those with larger stomachs, avoid tight or close-fitting tops. Look for flowy, loose tops. Not too loose that your figure is lost. Horizontal shirring is good at hiding whatever it is you've got stored around there.
If you've got bigger arms, wear tops with sleeves that aren't too tight, but flowy like butterfly sleeves.

'''AVOID:'''

''Mixing prints and patterns''. Before you start doing this you need to have a good understanding and sense of fashion. No plaid and stripes.

''Animal print''. Ratchet

== Dresses ==
Your beginner dress should be a simple black dress. This can be worn up or worn down, and is appropriate for almost all occasions. You can wear a cardigan over it or pair it with a belt in a bright color.

From there you can move on to different colors, patterns and style of dresses:

*Sundresses are comfortable and versatile, especially in warmer climates.

*Maxi dresses are classic and elegant but are best pulled off by long and sleek people.

*Shirtdresses, provided they are well made (see 'DRESSES TO AVOID' below).

*Skater/fit and flare dresses, often look good as they accentuate the waist and can make you appear thinner than you really are.

*Bodycon (short for body conscious) dresses adhere to the body and are best worn by those who are thin or do not have excessive weight.

DRESSES TO AVOID:

*Dresses with ruffles. They will look out of place and create an unflattering silhouette.

*High-low dresses. These are a fleeting trend and will only look outdated soon.

*Shirtdresses can go terribly wrong. Avoid ones with plaid and those made of inferior materials.

*Avoid showy patterns and prints, because they will make your body look stretched out.

*Be careful of strapless dresses. They can easily lead to a nip slip.

Of course with all things, exceptions can be made. Use your judgement when considering if a dress is an exception.

== Pants/Shorts ==
'''Jeans'''

Jeans are essential to a new wardrobe, and it's important to buy the right pair that suits you.
When buying jeans dark washed and black are usually what you want to look for. Make sure there is no gap in the back of your pants when you sit down. If you must wear pants with a gap, sew some elastic to the band so it fits more snugly around your waist.

*'''Straight Leg Jeans''' can be worn by practically anyone. These are great for curvy ("plus sized"), boyish figures, really anyone can wear these.

*'''Skinny Jeans''' - Should ONLY be worn by skinny people. If you're curvy, they will ''not'' flatter.

*'''Flare Jeans''' - Flattering if you're more curvy. The flare balances out wideness in the thighs or hips.

*'''Boyfriend/Boy-fit Jeans''' - Most flattering if you are tall and skinny. Balance the boyish cut with feminine accessories, heels to add to height.

'''Shorts'''

Make sure there is no ass-cheek showing. I mean, unless you're like that.

*'''Denim Shorts''' - Very casual. You can cut off the legs of old jeans and hem the edges if you have a lot of them laying around. Don't over-do the rips/cut-off style.

*'''Bermuda Shorts''' - A more preppy look, or for those more conscious about their thighs. They end above the knee.

*'''Capris''' - Capris end below the knee. Choose some that aren't too baggy around the leg, with a more slim fit. Roll up some jeans or pants to get a capri-effect.

'''Dress Pants/Slacks'''

Wear for business/semi-formal occasions. Choose dark, neutral colors as you probably won't have that many pairs. Wide-leg and flare style works best here. Make sure they are not too tight. Make sure the length is tailored to your heel or flat height because there's nothing worse than getting your heel caught in your pants. For a quick fix, try hemming tape. Make sure the outline of your pockets cannot be seen through your pants.

== Skirts ==

Many women are most comfortable in a t-shirt and jeans. But skirts and flattering and major in fashion.

*'''Flare/A-line skirt''' - These basic skirts are very flattering and are a staple in every women's wardrobe. These skirts have a lot of volume, so it's important to pair it with a simple shirt. Something like a plain white tank-top or a basic patterned t-shirt would pull the look together.

*'''Pencil skirt''' - These can be used for almost any event, from work to going out. They are very form fitting.

*'''Maxi skirt''' - Only young, skinny tall girls should wear these (or short girls in heels). However, they are perfect for summer and days on the beach.

== Outerwear ==

There are two kinds of outerwear, a lighter outerwear that you would wear in spring and fall, and the heavier outerwear that you would wear during the winter season. Outerwear should not be flashy or have embellishments all over. Outerwear should be minimal and keep you warm while looking good.

'''Lighter Outerwear'''

*Denim jacket- Should hit at the waist and should not be the same color as your jeans unless you are aiming for a Canadian Tuxedo. Use this to create a casual look.

*Bomber jacket- This style is usually in either a cotton or leather (faux-leather) and can be used for a casual look.

*Utility jacket/light parka- This is usually a cotton, twill, or another light and durable fabric. This jacket usually has a lot of pockets and can make you look bulky up top if you are not careful.

'''Heavier Outerwear'''

*Trenchcoat- This classic style should hit the middle of your hip to your knee and should be made from a water-repelling fabric. This coat is versatile and can be casual or dressed up. Trenchcoat are traditionally tan or black (look best and easiest to pull off), but other colors are available as well (harder to pull off).

*Anorak/Parka- Made of a heavier fabric and should hit at mid-thigh. Some parkas/anoraks also have a removable lining thus making them versatile to use in fall and spring. This is a very casual coat.

*Peacoat- This is a standard and somewhat dressy coat as they are typically made of wool. A peacoat should hit the hip to the mid-thigh.

== Shoes ==
Make sure your feet are moisturized and your toe nails are done if they are showing. No need to paint all of them if not all of them are showing. 
'''Flats''' - Flats are usually half to a full size smaller than your normal shoe size. If they're too big, they'll slip off at the heel. This can also be fixed with inserts or sticking cotton in the toe of the shoe. When trying them on, make sure the 'toe cracks' are fully covered by the toe of the shoe. Essentials are black flats and roll-up ballet flats to switch in/out of if you're wearing heels.

'''Heels''' - Do not buy heels higher than 4 1/2 in heels. Any higher and you're in drag queen/high school attention whore territory. Lower heels for the day, higher for going out at night. You can't go wrong with blacks, nudes and other neutral colors. Shiny heels are fancier than matte textures, so keep in mind the occasion. Make sure the sides of the heel fit flush with the sides of your feet and make sure than you can walk properly in them. Walk around the store a bit to get a feel of how the heels fit. As with flats, make sure no 'toe crack' is showing.

'''Sandals''' - Sandals come in a variety of styles, from flat to heeled to wedge. Choose whatever style you like best. If you have a narrower foot, choose sandals with thinner straps. If your foot is wider, choose sandals with wider straps. Sometimes thong sandals can rub between toes, so be wary of that. They also tend to have little to no arch support so they aren't the best shoe to wear for long periods of time.

'''Boots''' - Come in many styles, including cowboy, combat, heeled, riding, etc. Make sure you get a height that works best with your leg shape. If you're tall with slim legs you can probably wear most styles. If your calves are wider, choose mid-calf length. If you're short, choose shorter boots as tall boots will make you appear shorter. Black and brown boots are best to start with. If you'd like, get some with a little heel for femininity and/or height.

== Accessories ==
Choose either silver or gold accessories, depending on your skin tone. If your tones are cooler, choose silver. If they're warmer, then gold.

On deciding between earrings, bracelets or necklaces, you can only pick '''2'''.

Statement jewelry is an easy way to spruce up an outfit, though they can go out of style rather quickly.

'''Wrist'''

Mens' style watches are a classic style, make sure that they aren't too big to not appear too masculine. Stick with either gold or silver.
Bracelets come in a variety of styles. Don't get carried away. Try to match them to each other.

'''Earrings'''

You can't go wrong with simple diamond studs. Pearl earrings dress up an outfit easily.

'''Necklaces'''

Thin necklaces draw attention to your collar bones, if you've got nice ones. No big charms or anything too chunky. A safe and simple way to dress up an outfit is with a pearl necklace. Necklaces look best with bare shoulders or deeper necklines.

'''Scarves, Hats, Gloves, Glasses, etc.'''

Scarves made of lighter material such as linen, cotton or chiffon can be worn in the summer. Choose lighter colors and patterns. Heavier materials such as wool and any of its artificial bastardizations are for cold weather, fall or winter seasons. Their main function is for warmth. If your wardrobe lacks pattern, scarves are an easy way to add something different to your daily wear.

== Hair ==

'''Round Face Type'''

Short Hair- Rounder faces are perfect for pixie cuts. If your comfortable going shorter than texture, curls and "spiky layers" will look great.

Medium Length- For this cut go down to the collarbone/shoulders.

Long Hair- Get layers (preferably near the jawline)! They'll add a lot of volume and interest to your hair.

'''Diamond Face Type'''

'''Heart Face Type'''

Short hair- Short, textured layers will be perfect for a heart shaped face. Make sure to keep the length simple and clean.

Medium Length- Cut it to the collarbone and add layers.

Long Hair- Go for longer layers, and wavy hair with a lot of texture will look good.

'''Rectangle Face Type'''

'''Oblong Face Type'''

'''Pear Face Type'''

'''Oval Face Type'''

Short hair- A sleek chin length bob is the best way to go short.

Medium Length- Go for a shoulder length blowout =, which a lot of volume.

Long hair- Just do whatever.

== Make-up ==

Make-up can be a great way to express yourself and can accentuate your outfits.

thebeautydepartment.com has some great guides (here's their list of best buys: [http://thebeautydepartment.com/2013/04/our-favorite-beauty-sources/], i highly suggest you visit it), but here are some basics:

'''Eyes'''

*'''Mascara''' - Mascara is a basic makeup, used to thicken and lengthen eyelashes. It comes in a tube, with a "wand" inside that you use to apply. If you're looking for an easy, affordable mascara then L'Oreal Voluminous Original is cheap and a good starter. For daytime makeup, try to match your eyelash color to the mascara color (blondes and redheads can wear brown, black suits brunettes well). Black mascara gives a dramatic look. When you are testing mascaras make.sure the formula doesn't clump (resulting in spider eyes) or run (raccoon eyes). If you're short on time, apply mascara vertically to create a natural line without eyeliner. If you curl your lashes, do so before applying mascara.

'''Great mascaras to purchase'''

'''Drugstore Tier''' - [Covergirl lash blast][http://www.poorlittlerichgirls.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/09/lash-blast.jpg], [Maybeline great lash][http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-VON5NoVslCg/T0IGuQQt9WI/AAAAAAAAC14/kr6BpuAjIrM/s640/maybelline+great+lash+lots+of+lashes+mascara+review.jpg]. Both give voluminous+lengthened lashes without clump for under $10

'''Mall Tier''' - [Mac False lashes][http://www.temptalia.com/mac-false-lashes-mascara-review-photos-swatches], [Mac Haute & Naughty][http://www.temptalia.com/mac-haute-naughty-lash-mascara-review-photos], [Lancome Doll Lashes][http://www.sephora.com/hypnose-doll-lashes-mascara-P293302], and [Lancome Hypnose Drama][http://www.sephora.com/hypnose-drama-instant-full-body-volume-mascara-P244006]. Awesome mascaras, all ranging from $20-$25

'''High End Tier''' - [Givenchy Eye Fly][http://www.sephora.com/eye-fly-lash-extender-mascara-P129702], [Diorshow Mascara][http://reviews.sephora.com/8723/P40404/reviews.htm], [Armani Eyes to Kill][http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/giorgio-armani-eyes-to-kill-mascara/3036953#BVRRWidgetID], [Geurlain 'Noir G'][http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/guerlain-noir-g-mascara/3255108?origin=related-3255108-60155320-1-6-2-Rich%20Relevence&BaseUrl=Mascara&PageCategoryId=PP]. Fantastic mascaras if you are willing to spend the cash. Ranging from $25-$50

*'''Eye-Liner'''- Eye-liner does exactly what you think it does - you apply it on the contours of your eye and it can dramatically change your appearance. Many people are intimidated by eye-liner but all it requires is a steady hand. Soft pencils are the easiest eye-liner for beginners. There are dozens of tutorials on Youtube that can teach you how to apply eyeliner - don't be afraid to try different styles and see which ones you like!

*'''Eye Shadow''' - Eye shadow is applied on the eyelids and comes in a variety of colors. Brands like NYC have cheap "starter packs" of primer, brush and eyeshadows that accentuate your eye color. Don't be afraid to experiment, but save the truly out-there colors for when you have a firm grasp on color theory and can properly match your eyeshadow to your skin tone, eye color and outfit.

'''Lips'''

*'''Lip balm''' - Lip balm is typically used to help people with chapped lips and is your basic. It makes your lips smooth and hydrated - without this, your lipstick would look terrible. It can come in various flavors, colors and with all sorts of shit added. If possible, look for something with an SPF of 15-30. If it's your thing, buy one with some color, but keep in mind it's going to be very faint.

*'''Lip gloss''' - Lip gloss gives you sheen and color. It's essentially the middle of the lip color spectrum, with lip balm being the lowest and lipstick being the higher, and lip stains being the highest.

*'''Lipstick''' - Lipstick comes in a shitton of colors, so stick with basic neutrals for the mean time. Make sure to not smear it everywhere (the simple hand or napkin test works well).

*'''Lip Liner''' - Lip liner is applied to your lips after lipstick to fill uneven areas. Make sure to match your line color to your lipstick color, or better yet, buy an invisible lip liner.

*'''Lip stain''' - Basically a more intense lipstick. It stains your lips, so make sure you don't smear it everywhere. On the plus side, it lasts longer and doesn't fade away.

Remember if you're going to do something bold with your eye make-up, keep the lips simple.

'''Face'''

*'''Foundation'''-Foundation's perfect for those wanting to conceal redness, dark spots, and other imperfections. Go for something light and not to thick. When using liquid use a sponge, they're cheap and help a lot. Be careful with powder, it can cake on so add carefully.

When buying foundation you should test it on the back of your hand or against your cheek-bone. Don't order online. If you can't find your shade ask someone at the store, Sephora and Ulta always have someone willing to help.

*'''Concealer'''-People on /fa/ love under-eye circles, but if you want to cover them up, go for it. This is perfect for concealing embarrassing blemishes and pimples.

*'''Blush/Bronzer'''-BE CAREFUL! You don't want to look like a clown. Make sure to find the right shade for you, because It's all dependent on your skin tone.

'''Nails'''

*Ideal nails are ones that look healthy, whether they are long or short. Obviously don't go to the extremes - very long nails are obnoxious, nails bit to their stubs are gross. Above all, just keep your nails healthy [http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/nails/WO00020[See this guide if you need help with this.]

== 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:''' Avant-Garde and higher end gothninja pieces, you truly are #nxtlvl.

|-
| [[Banana Republic]] || {{Mall-Tier}} || Slightly overpriced but decent quality prep, similar to Club Monaco but roomier. Pretty bland, basically a fancy, more expensive GAP, geared towards "professional" clothes. Individual items can sometimes have great fits but this varies. Operates by offering immediately high prices but keeping a regular rotation of 30% and 40% coupon codes floating around, valid for about 1/4 to 1/2 of the month. Strongly advised to wait for these codes. || http://www.bananarepublic.com/

|-
| Express || {{Mall-Tier}} || Mainly geared towards "dressier" clothes, this store carries low quality but well fitting clothing. At the price point, one of the only places a lanky dude can find a very well fitting dress shirt (their Extra Slim 1MX shirts or their suiting). Also carries all of these items in extremely garish colors. Like Banana Republic, sale codes are extremely frequent for those with patience and a little effort can generally get you at least 50% off of sale. || http://www.express.com/

| farfetch || {{High}} || Boutique shopping aggregator. || http://farfetch.com/

| Gant || {{Medium}} || Bland, basic clothing with okay quality that is slightly overpriced. Good to cop during sales, prep staple. || http://www.gant.com/

| H&M || {{Mall-Tier}} || Recommended for very basic clothes and occasionally more stylish pieces. || http://www.hm.com/
|-
| I Heart Yours || {{Mall-Tier}} || Sells very basic, inexpensive shoes. || http://www.iheartyours.com/
|-
| J. Crew || {{Low}} || Good quality clothes with acceptable cuts. High-ish price for the quality they offer. || http://www.jcrew.com/
|-
| JCPenney || {{Mall-Tier}} || Good place to cop Levi's jeans if you cannot find an outlet. Otherwise shit quality and full of soccer moms. || http://www.jcpenney.com/
|-
| Karmaloop || {{Low}} || Has sales literally almost every day. Can sometimes find entry-level designer brands (e.g. Naked and Famous) at deep discount. || http://www.karmaloop.com/
|-
| Kith || {{Medium}} || || http://www.kith.com/
|-
| Leffot || {{High}} || Retailer of high-end shoes, from Edward Green to Viberg. || http://www.leffot.com/
|-
| Levi's || {{Low}} || Large selection of jeans (among other things) in a variety of colors and cuts. The quality is beginner level in their cheaper jeans not made in the USA, but at the sub $100 price range they offer a quality that can compare to the denim offered by higher end brands and beats anything else in the same bracket. Good marriage of quality and price. Don't treat rigid washes as raw denim. Levi's often has sales, so avoid buying at full retail. Avoid if you live outside NA, ridiculous markups. || http://levi.com/
|-
| Macy's || {{Mall-Tier}} || Purveyor of various dad/mom/grandma-core clothing and other bland or otherwise bottom-of-the-barrel designer brands. Generally pretty cheap - occasionally they have something worth buying. || http://www.macys.com/

|-
| OAK || {{High}} || || http://www.oaknyc.com/
|-

|-
| [[SSENSE]] || {{High}} || Designer clothes. Beware imposter stores from China with identical websites. || http://www.ssense.com/
|-
| Self Edge || {{High}} || One of the first stores to help establish the high end denim scene, SE shines at doing collabs with various brands. || http://www.selfedge.com/
|-
| Target || {{Mall-Tier}} || The Mossimo athletic fit t-shirts are decent and the Merona line is a good way to fill up a new white collar worker's wardrobe on a budget with some tailoring. If you can find what you need on the clearance racks and do your own alterations, it is very good value. || http://www.target.com/
|-
| TOPMAN || {{Mall-Tier}} || Similar to ASOS it tends to be hit and miss, however they do have a good returns policy and if you avoid the typical 'lad' items (usually t-shirts with pop culture references) and it should be decent. Their Stretch skinny jeans and chinos stretch out quite a bit. Suits and blazers are great looking especially considering the price. || http://www.topman.com/
|-
| Tres Bien || {{High}} || Mostly streetwear, but they also have a pretty good formalwear selection. Probably the cheapest shop you will find for designer stuff, some nice discount codes from time to time || http://shop.tres-bien.com/
|-
| Unionmade || {{High}} || One of the best shops out there for mid- to high-tier menswear. Does collaborations with Alden fairly often. || http://www.unionmadegoods.com/
|-
| Uniqlo || {{Low}} || Above-average quality basics, recommended for entry level. || http://www.uniqlo.com/
|-
| Urban Outfitters || {{Mall-Tier}} || Decent clothes, a little more on the expensive side of fast fashion. Use discretion - some pieces are wildly overpriced for the quality. || http://www.urbanoutfitters.com/
|-
| Yoox || {{Medium}} || || http://yoox.com/
|-
| Zara || {{Mall-Tier}} || Notorious fast-fashion retailer. Jumps aboard every trend's bandwagon and mass produces their own knock-off versions. Poor quality clothing for cheap. Generally very slim-fitting. Not awful if used sparingly. || http://www.zara.com/

== Synopsis ==
[[File:ACNE logo.jpg|300px|thumb]]
Acne is a Swedish clothing brand selling high quality knits, denim, and footwear. Acne Studios a part of ACNE (Ambition to Create Novel Expression), was founded in 1996 by Jonny Johansson. The story goes that he created one-hundred pairs of raw denim with red stitching to give away to his friends and family. The reception was positive so he began to create clothing on a larger scale.

Acne Studios utilizes a fairly minimalist approach towards design. The brand tends to stay away from using their logo in excess; instead opting for simpler tags and packets. The idea behind the designs is to create a simple, almost apathetic look, while still being refined.

There are currently 21 Acne Studio stores in different countries around the world.

== /fa/'s Opinion ==

Viewed as basic, but generally well liked. The denim is especially noteworthy.

Frank & Oak

SWR: /* Membership */

== Synopsis ==
[[File:Frank_and_Oak_3.png|300px|thumb]]

Frank & Oak is a vertically integrated online menswear brand with premium threads and a simple, integrated, and personalized shopping experience. The Montreal based brand deals almost exclusively in a Traditional clothing style, or what is generally referred to as "Men's Wear". Launched in February of 2012, Frank & Oak's goal is to provide quality Men's Wear at an acceptable price. Through a small in house design team and outsourced labour, Frank & Oak is able to keep costs fairly low while providing usable, quality products.

One of the more unique aspects of Frank & Oak is the fact that a new collection is released every month. This means that each piece is produced in very small quantities thus making it difficult to purchase the more popular items.

== Membership ==

Frank & Oak, like many online only retailers, requires that a customer becomes a member to view their products. A unique membership type called the Hunt Club allows customers to order a Hunt Club Crate which is shipped at no charge. Filled 3 pieces from the month's new collection, the Hunt Club Partner is then expected to try each piece to find if he likes them or not, then simply ship the crate back and pay for what he keeps.

'''GODDAMMIT THAT SHOULDN'T BE CAPITALIZED'''
== Synopsis ==
[[File:ACNE logo.jpg|300px|thumb]]
Acne is a Swedish clothing brand selling high quality knits, denim, and footwear. Acne Studios a part of ACNE (Ambition to Create Novel Expression), was founded in 1996 by Jonny Johansson. The story goes that he created one-hundred pairs of raw denim with red stitching to give away to his friends and family. The reception was positive so he began to create clothing on a larger scale.

Acne Studios utilizes a fairly minimalist approach towards design. The brand tends to stay away from using their logo in excess; instead opting for simpler tags and packets. The idea behind the designs is to create a simple, almost apathetic look, while still being refined.

There are currently 21 Acne Studio stores in different countries around the world.

== /fa/'s Opinion ==

Viewed as basic, but generally well liked. The denim is especially noteworthy.

SWR: /* 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:''' Avant-Garde and higher end gothninja pieces, you truly are #nxtlvl.

! Brand !! Tier !! class="unsortable"|Description !! class="unsortable"|Website
|-
| [[4.0]] || {{HighDesigner}} || Sells designer clothing by Carol Christian Poell, Sruli Recht, Rick Owens, and more. || http://www.darklandsberlin.com/
|-
| [[ACNE]] || {{High}} || Designer clothes from Sweden. || http://acnestudios.com/
|-
| Aldo Shoes || {{Mall-Tier}} || Shoes will fall apart within a month. Only buy on SALE. || http://www.aldoshoes.com
|-
| AllSaints || {{Medium}} || Decent construction but sub-par materials for the price, they often try to sneak cheap fabrics into the mix. Good for edgier clothing on a budget, but advised to buy only on sale, avoid their jackets unless at a steep discount - the jeans and t-shirts are arguably their best products. || http://www.allsaints.com/
|-
| American Apparel || {{Low}} || Has basic t-shirts in a variety of cuts. Tees fit well even for slimmer people.|| http://www.americanapparel.net/
|-
| American Eagle || {{Mall-Tier}} || Fairly terrible quality, bright and slightly branded basics. Shirts are a bit long, usually go a bit past the waist. Pants fit a bit weird, and you get what you pay for with shoes. || http://www.ae.com/
|-
| April77 || {{Medium}} || April77 is notable for their large selection jeans which come in many different sizes, cuts, and colors. Caters to the skinniest of skeletors. || http://www.april77-shop.com/
|-
| Archival Clothing || {{Medium}} || Great outdoorsy backpacks, and some other vintage-inspired clothes || http://store.archivalclothing.com/
|-
| Asos || {{Mall-Tier}} || For the home brand quality can be variable, although as the price entails it usually isn't the best. The site also offers items from higher-tier brands. Frequent sales. || http://www.asos.com/
|-
| Atelier New York || {{High}} || "Goth-ninja" stuff. Everything is black, grey, or white. || http://www.ateliernewyork.com/
|-
| [[Banana Republic]] || {{Mall-Tier}} || Slightly overpriced but decent quality prep, similar to Club Monaco but roomier. Pretty bland, basically a fancy, more expensive GAP, geared towards "professional" clothes. Individual items can sometimes have great fits but this varies. Operates by offering immediately high prices but keeping a regular rotation of 30% and 40% coupon codes floating around, valid for about 1/4 to 1/2 of the month. Strongly advised to wait for these codes. || http://www.bananarepublic.com/
|-
| Barneys New York || {{High}} || From high "goof" to Hamptons prep, anything that's expensive will be on here. || http://www.barneys.com/
|-
| Bergdorf Goodman || {{High}} || Similar to Neiman Marcus but with even more expensive labels. || http://www.bergdorfgoodman.com/
|-
| Blackbird || Uncategorized || || http://www.blackbirdballard.com/
|-
| Blue in Green || {{High}} || Mainly sells raw denim. || http://www.blueingreensoho.com/
|-
| Blue Owl Workshop || {{Medium}} || Mostly sells raw denim on the cheaper side; known for having a great Momotaro stock || http://www.blueowl.us/
|-
| Cotton On || {{Mall-Tier}} || Dirt cheap basics (<$10); great sales. It can be hard to find good fits here, but the upside is that you won't have wasted a lot of money if you decide you don't like something. Very good for fans of tank-tops and muted colors. || http://www.cottonon.com/
|-
| Epaulet New York || {{High}} || Straight-up classic menswear, focusing on a high quality of construction. Has lots of exclusive Carmina models. || http://www.epauletnewyork.com/
|-
| Everlane || {{Low}} || Their tees are generally well liked and they claim to offer the same quality as more expensive brands but with less markup. || http://www.everlane.com/
|-
| Express || {{Mall-Tier}} || Mainly geared towards "dressier" clothes, this store carries low quality but well fitting clothing. At the price point, one of the only places a lanky dude can find a very well fitting dress shirt (their Extra Slim 1MX shirts or their suiting). Also carries all of these items in extremely garish colors. Like Banana Republic, sale codes are extremely frequent for those with patience and a little effort can generally get you at least 50% off of sale. || http://www.express.com/
|-
| farfetch || {{High}} || Boutique shopping aggregator. || http://farfetch.com/
|-
| Forever 21 || {{Mall-Tier}} || Has a fuckton of items in many eclectic styles, but the quality is generally absolute garbage. Like H&M, is best for experimenting with new styles without breaking the bank. || http://www.forever21.com/
|-
| [[Frank & Oak]] || {{Low}} || Good quality menswear basics. I wouldn't recommend them for taller guys, as everything seems to run a bit short. Free shipping. || http://www.frankandoak.com/
|-
| Gant || {{Medium}} || Bland, basic clothing with okay quality that is slightly overpriced. Good to cop during sales, prep staple. || http://www.gant.com/
|-
| Gap || {{Mall-Tier}} || Carry decent basics. Overpriced for the quality though. Their button ups and chinos are worth it on sale. Operates on the same business model as Banana Republic, and coupon codes ar often usable on both sites. || http://www.gap.com/
|-
| H&M || {{Mall-Tier}} || Recommended for very basic clothes and occasionally more stylish pieces. || http://www.hm.com/
|-
| I Heart Yours || {{Mall-Tier}} || Sells very basic, inexpensive shoes. || http://www.iheartyours.com/
|-
| J. Crew || {{Low}} || Good quality clothes with acceptable cuts. High-ish price for the quality they offer. || http://www.jcrew.com/
|-
| JCPenney || {{Mall-Tier}} || Good place to cop Levi's jeans if you cannot find an outlet. Otherwise shit quality and full of soccer moms. || http://www.jcpenney.com/
|-
| Karmaloop || {{Low}} || Has sales literally almost every day. Can sometimes find entry-level designer brands (e.g. Naked and Famous) at deep discount. || http://www.karmaloop.com/
|-
| Kith || {{Medium}} || || http://www.kith.com/
|-
| Leffot || {{High}} || Retailer of high-end shoes, from Edward Green to Viberg. || http://www.leffot.com/
|-
| Levi's || {{Low}} || Large selection of jeans (among other things) in a variety of colors and cuts. The quality is beginner level in their cheaper jeans not made in the USA, but at the sub $100 price range they offer a quality that can compare to the denim offered by higher end brands and beats anything else in the same bracket. Good marriage of quality and price. Don't treat rigid washes as raw denim. Levi's often has sales, so avoid buying at full retail. Avoid if you live outside NA, ridiculous markups. || http://levi.com/
|-
| Macy's || {{Mall-Tier}} || Purveyor of various dad/mom/grandma-core clothing and other bland or otherwise bottom-of-the-barrel designer brands. Generally pretty cheap - occasionally they have something worth buying. || http://www.macys.com/
|-
| Mr. Porter || {{High}} || The male version of Net-a-Porter. Designer clothing from Givenchy, Prada, Alexander McQueen, Loro Piana, etc. || http://mrporter.com/
|-
| Nordstrom || {{Medium}} || Carries various upscale brands, you can find anything from Varvatos to Ferragamo to Prada here. More menswear/prep orientated than similar stores. Great if you need a suit and pair of oxfords. || http://nordstrom.com/
|-
| OAK || {{High}} || || http://www.oaknyc.com/
|-
| Old Navy || {{Mall-Tier}} || Pretty inexpensive clothing, the fits can be a bit off. Sometimes there are passable pieces. Definitely go to a store to try things on before buying. || http://www.oldnavy.com/
|-
| Pull & Bear || {{Mall-Tier}} || Similar to H&M, but more colorful || http://www.pullandbear.com/
|-
| Ralph Lauren || {{Mall-Tier}} || Overpriced for the quality, has some decent pieces but are often ruined by rampant branding. || http://www.ralphlauren.com/
|-
| Revolve Clothing || {{Medium}} || Revolve Clothing offers 20% off on first purchases if you email them with your order number. || http://www.revolveclothing.com/
|-
| River Island || {{Mall-Tier}} || Extremely similar to TOPMAN. || http://www.riverisland.com/
|-
| [[SSENSE]] || {{High}} || Designer clothes. Beware imposter stores from China with identical websites. || http://www.ssense.com/
|-
| Self Edge || {{High}} || One of the first stores to help establish the high end denim scene, SE shines at doing collabs with various brands. || http://www.selfedge.com/
|-
| Target || {{Mall-Tier}} || The Mossimo athletic fit t-shirts are decent and the Merona line is a good way to fill up a new white collar worker's wardrobe on a budget with some tailoring. If you can find what you need on the clearance racks and do your own alterations, it is very good value. || http://www.target.com/
|-
| TOPMAN || {{Mall-Tier}} || Similar to ASOS it tends to be hit and miss, however they do have a good returns policy and if you avoid the typical 'lad' items (usually t-shirts with pop culture references) and it should be decent. Their Stretch skinny jeans and chinos stretch out quite a bit. Suits and blazers are great looking especially considering the price. || http://www.topman.com/
|-
| Tres Bien || {{High}} || Mostly streetwear, but they also have a pretty good formalwear selection. Probably the cheapest shop you will find for designer stuff, some nice discount codes from time to time || http://shop.tres-bien.com/
|-
| Unionmade || {{High}} || One of the best shops out there for mid- to high-tier menswear. Does collaborations with Alden fairly often. || http://www.unionmadegoods.com/
|-
| Uniqlo || {{Low}} || Above-average quality basics, recommended for entry level. || http://www.uniqlo.com/
|-
| Urban Outfitters || {{Mall-Tier}} || Decent clothes, a little more on the expensive side of fast fashion. Use discretion - some pieces are wildly overpriced for the quality. || http://www.urbanoutfitters.com/
|-
| Yoox || {{Medium}} || || http://yoox.com/
|-
| Zara || {{Mall-Tier}} || Notorious fast-fashion retailer. Jumps aboard every trend's bandwagon and mass produces their own knock-off versions. Poor quality clothing for cheap. Generally very slim-fitting. Not awful if used sparingly. || http://www.zara.com/

'''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'.

'''PLEASE NOTE THESE TIERS ARE GENERAL GUIDELINES. A lot of stores stock items which can be of varying quality and price ranges.'''

Complete crapshoot, great for poorfags and trustfund babies looking for "vintage" stuff. Brings in new stuff on Wednesday. Pricing is unilateral for all clothing, be it horrible Gildan cotton tees or ancient, high quality suit stuff. Physically hurts your dignity being here if your Mom buys all of your Supreme for you.

[http://www.buffaloexchange.com/ Buffalo Exchange]
Shop that buys clothing and resells at a drastically reduced cost, generally 20-50% of original price. Needs sifting, but they are selective in what they buy through their own self-proclaimed "style experts," meaning employees who know not to buy your dad's old clothes. Content varies wildly by location and is generally reflective of what is available in the area. For example, NYC shops carry higher end clothing found in the immediate vicinity such as Odin and AllSaints as well as mall brands while in Philadelphia the Rittenhouse location simply carries fast fashion and a few J. Crew pieces. If money is any kind of issue than these are always worth looking into, as the low prices and constantly changing selection can lead to wonderful discoveries. Selling back however generally isn't worth it.

Pretentious thrift store catering the legions of hipsters that flock and scream at anything that looks like fake leather loafers or hats with feathers in them. They occasionally have some decent shoes/clothing if you are lucky, prices are quite high compared to what you get. Zipper also sells Cheap Monday jeans/chino's for retail price. The staff is very nice and helpful

http://www.episode.eu/splash.jsp
Another 'expensive' thrift store, has similar stuff as the previous mentioned Zipper although they don't sell anything new. Staff is very aware that they are in a 'hip' store and act like they are the best which is why (writer) avoid it like the plague. They do have a nice selection of leather briefcases and scarves.

http://lauradols.nl/
Thrift store mostly catering women's clothing. They do have a small section of men which often has some nice gems if you're lucky. The owners also tailor a lot to cater to a younger audience (the owner told me). Prices are quite high but you can find some 'haute couture' pieces now and then. Really friendly staff.

http://www.bijons-vintage.nl
Small thrift store selling men's and women's clothing, shoes,scarves, furniture, record players and a lot more. Prices are a bit lower than previously mentioned stores but the selection is basically all Large or Extra Large. You really need to look for something nice. Staff can be arrogant but also nice depending who's behind the counter.

Here are weird sort of Japanese Ebays but things go crazy cheap here. Talked to heaps of people that have found anything from Yohji Yamamoto to pre-2000s Helmut Lang and MMM for less than $50.
It sort of requires heaps of dedication and watching so idk, ive never put in the effort myself.

4.0 or darklands 4.0 or darklands Berlin, is an artisinal German boutique catering mostly to an avant-garde aesthetic. As they state, "Darklands is a nomadic, multi-brand, cutting edge men’s fashion shop. Featuring the most coveted avant garde designers of the moment..." With only one physical location which relocates very often, one must really be "in-the-know" to keep up with this brand.

Accompanying the eclectic sales model, the company stocks a number of labels that fall outside of the general understanding of fashion. Carol Christian Poell, Sruli Recht, Thamanyah, and many more.

Stores In The United States

2013-06-09T06:58:41Z

SWR: /* 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:''' Avant-Garde and higher end gothninja pieces, you truly are #nxtlvl.

! Brand !! Tier !! class="unsortable"|Description !! class="unsortable"|Website
|-
| [[4.0]] || {{HighDesigner}} || Sells designer clothing by Carol Christian Poell, Sruli Recht, Rick Owens, and more. || http://www.darklandsberlin.com/
|-
| ACNE || {{High}} || Designer clothes from Sweden. || http://acnestudios.com/
|-
| Aldo Shoes || {{Mall-Tier}} || Shoes will fall apart within a month. Only buy on SALE. || http://www.aldoshoes.com
|-
| AllSaints || {{Medium}} || Decent construction but sub-par materials for the price, they often try to sneak cheap fabrics into the mix. Good for edgier clothing on a budget, but advised to buy only on sale, avoid their jackets unless at a steep discount - the jeans and t-shirts are arguably their best products. || http://www.allsaints.com/
|-
| American Apparel || {{Low}} || Has basic t-shirts in a variety of cuts. Tees fit well even for slimmer people.|| http://www.americanapparel.net/
|-
| American Eagle || {{Mall-Tier}} || Fairly terrible quality, bright and slightly branded basics. Shirts are a bit long, usually go a bit past the waist. Pants fit a bit weird, and you get what you pay for with shoes. || http://www.ae.com/
|-
| April77 || {{Medium}} || April77 is notable for their large selection jeans which come in many different sizes, cuts, and colors. Caters to the skinniest of skeletors. || http://www.april77-shop.com/
|-
| Archival Clothing || {{Medium}} || Great outdoorsy backpacks, and some other vintage-inspired clothes || http://store.archivalclothing.com/
|-
| Asos || {{Mall-Tier}} || For the home brand quality can be variable, although as the price entails it usually isn't the best. The site also offers items from higher-tier brands. Frequent sales. || http://www.asos.com/
|-
| Atelier New York || {{High}} || "Goth-ninja" stuff. Everything is black, grey, or white. || http://www.ateliernewyork.com/
|-
| [[Banana Republic]] || {{Mall-Tier}} || Slightly overpriced but decent quality prep, similar to Club Monaco but roomier. Pretty bland, basically a fancy, more expensive GAP, geared towards "professional" clothes. Individual items can sometimes have great fits but this varies. Operates by offering immediately high prices but keeping a regular rotation of 30% and 40% coupon codes floating around, valid for about 1/4 to 1/2 of the month. Strongly advised to wait for these codes. || http://www.bananarepublic.com/
|-
| Barneys New York || {{High}} || From high "goof" to Hamptons prep, anything that's expensive will be on here. || http://www.barneys.com/
|-
| Bergdorf Goodman || {{High}} || Similar to Neiman Marcus but with even more expensive labels. || http://www.bergdorfgoodman.com/
|-
| Blackbird || Uncategorized || || http://www.blackbirdballard.com/
|-
| Blue in Green || {{High}} || Mainly sells raw denim. || http://www.blueingreensoho.com/
|-
| Blue Owl Workshop || {{Medium}} || Mostly sells raw denim on the cheaper side; known for having a great Momotaro stock || http://www.blueowl.us/
|-
| Cotton On || {{Mall-Tier}} || Dirt cheap basics (<$10); great sales. It can be hard to find good fits here, but the upside is that you won't have wasted a lot of money if you decide you don't like something. Very good for fans of tank-tops and muted colors. || http://www.cottonon.com/
|-
| Epaulet New York || {{High}} || Straight-up classic menswear, focusing on a high quality of construction. Has lots of exclusive Carmina models. || http://www.epauletnewyork.com/
|-
| Everlane || {{Low}} || Their tees are generally well liked and they claim to offer the same quality as more expensive brands but with less markup. || http://www.everlane.com/
|-
| Express || {{Mall-Tier}} || Mainly geared towards "dressier" clothes, this store carries low quality but well fitting clothing. At the price point, one of the only places a lanky dude can find a very well fitting dress shirt (their Extra Slim 1MX shirts or their suiting). Also carries all of these items in extremely garish colors. Like Banana Republic, sale codes are extremely frequent for those with patience and a little effort can generally get you at least 50% off of sale. || http://www.express.com/
|-
| farfetch || {{High}} || Boutique shopping aggregator. || http://farfetch.com/
|-
| Forever 21 || {{Mall-Tier}} || Has a fuckton of items in many eclectic styles, but the quality is generally absolute garbage. Like H&M, is best for experimenting with new styles without breaking the bank. || http://www.forever21.com/
|-
| [[Frank & Oak]] || {{Low}} || Good quality menswear basics. I wouldn't recommend them for taller guys, as everything seems to run a bit short. Free shipping. || http://www.frankandoak.com/
|-
| Gant || {{Medium}} || Bland, basic clothing with okay quality that is slightly overpriced. Good to cop during sales, prep staple. || http://www.gant.com/
|-
| Gap || {{Mall-Tier}} || Carry decent basics. Overpriced for the quality though. Their button ups and chinos are worth it on sale. Operates on the same business model as Banana Republic, and coupon codes ar often usable on both sites. || http://www.gap.com/
|-
| H&M || {{Mall-Tier}} || Recommended for very basic clothes and occasionally more stylish pieces. || http://www.hm.com/
|-
| I Heart Yours || {{Mall-Tier}} || Sells very basic, inexpensive shoes. || http://www.iheartyours.com/
|-
| J. Crew || {{Low}} || Good quality clothes with acceptable cuts. High-ish price for the quality they offer. || http://www.jcrew.com/
|-
| JCPenney || {{Mall-Tier}} || Good place to cop Levi's jeans if you cannot find an outlet. Otherwise shit quality and full of soccer moms. || http://www.jcpenney.com/
|-
| Karmaloop || {{Low}} || Has sales literally almost every day. Can sometimes find entry-level designer brands (e.g. Naked and Famous) at deep discount. || http://www.karmaloop.com/
|-
| Kith || {{Medium}} || || http://www.kith.com/
|-
| Leffot || {{High}} || Retailer of high-end shoes, from Edward Green to Viberg. || http://www.leffot.com/
|-
| Levi's || {{Low}} || Large selection of jeans (among other things) in a variety of colors and cuts. The quality is beginner level in their cheaper jeans not made in the USA, but at the sub $100 price range they offer a quality that can compare to the denim offered by higher end brands and beats anything else in the same bracket. Good marriage of quality and price. Don't treat rigid washes as raw denim. Levi's often has sales, so avoid buying at full retail. Avoid if you live outside NA, ridiculous markups. || http://levi.com/
|-
| Macy's || {{Mall-Tier}} || Purveyor of various dad/mom/grandma-core clothing and other bland or otherwise bottom-of-the-barrel designer brands. Generally pretty cheap - occasionally they have something worth buying. || http://www.macys.com/
|-
| Mr. Porter || {{High}} || The male version of Net-a-Porter. Designer clothing from Givenchy, Prada, Alexander McQueen, Loro Piana, etc. || http://mrporter.com/
|-
| Nordstrom || {{Medium}} || Carries various upscale brands, you can find anything from Varvatos to Ferragamo to Prada here. More menswear/prep orientated than similar stores. Great if you need a suit and pair of oxfords. || http://nordstrom.com/
|-
| OAK || {{High}} || || http://www.oaknyc.com/
|-
| Old Navy || {{Mall-Tier}} || Pretty inexpensive clothing, the fits can be a bit off. Sometimes there are passable pieces. Definitely go to a store to try things on before buying. || http://www.oldnavy.com/
|-
| Pull & Bear || {{Mall-Tier}} || Similar to H&M, but more colorful || http://www.pullandbear.com/
|-
| Ralph Lauren || {{Mall-Tier}} || Overpriced for the quality, has some decent pieces but are often ruined by rampant branding. || http://www.ralphlauren.com/
|-
| Revolve Clothing || {{Medium}} || Revolve Clothing offers 20% off on first purchases if you email them with your order number. || http://www.revolveclothing.com/
|-
| River Island || {{Mall-Tier}} || Extremely similar to TOPMAN. || http://www.riverisland.com/
|-
| [[SSENSE]] || {{High}} || Designer clothes. Beware imposter stores from China with identical websites. || http://www.ssense.com/
|-
| Self Edge || {{High}} || One of the first stores to help establish the high end denim scene, SE shines at doing collabs with various brands. || http://www.selfedge.com/
|-
| Target || {{Mall-Tier}} || The Mossimo athletic fit t-shirts are decent and the Merona line is a good way to fill up a new white collar worker's wardrobe on a budget with some tailoring. If you can find what you need on the clearance racks and do your own alterations, it is very good value. || http://www.target.com/
|-
| TOPMAN || {{Mall-Tier}} || Similar to ASOS it tends to be hit and miss, however they do have a good returns policy and if you avoid the typical 'lad' items (usually t-shirts with pop culture references) and it should be decent. Their Stretch skinny jeans and chinos stretch out quite a bit. Suits and blazers are great looking especially considering the price. || http://www.topman.com/
|-
| Tres Bien || {{High}} || Mostly streetwear, but they also have a pretty good formalwear selection. Probably the cheapest shop you will find for designer stuff, some nice discount codes from time to time || http://shop.tres-bien.com/
|-
| Unionmade || {{High}} || One of the best shops out there for mid- to high-tier menswear. Does collaborations with Alden fairly often. || http://www.unionmadegoods.com/
|-
| Uniqlo || {{Low}} || Above-average quality basics, recommended for entry level. || http://www.uniqlo.com/
|-
| Urban Outfitters || {{Mall-Tier}} || Decent clothes, a little more on the expensive side of fast fashion. Use discretion - some pieces are wildly overpriced for the quality. || http://www.urbanoutfitters.com/
|-
| Yoox || {{Medium}} || || http://yoox.com/
|-
| Zara || {{Mall-Tier}} || Notorious fast-fashion retailer. Jumps aboard every trend's bandwagon and mass produces their own knock-off versions. Poor quality clothing for cheap. Generally very slim-fitting. Not awful if used sparingly. || http://www.zara.com/

| Blue Owl Workshop || {{Medium}} || Mostly sells raw denim on the cheaper side; known for having a great Momotaro stock || http://www.blueowl.us/
|-
| Cotton On || {{Mall-Tier}} || Dirt cheap basics (<$10); great sales. It can be hard to find good fits here, but the upside is that you won't have wasted a lot of money if you decide you don't like something. Very good for fans of tank-tops and muted colors. || http://www.cottonon.com/
|-
| Epaulet New York || {{High}} || Straight-up classic menswear, focusing on a high quality of construction. Has lots of exclusive Carmina models. || http://www.epauletnewyork.com/
|-
| Everlane || {{Low}} || Their tees are generally well liked and they claim to offer the same quality as more expensive brands but with less markup. || http://www.everlane.com/
|-
| Express || {{Mall-Tier}} || Mainly geared towards "dressier" clothes, this store carries low quality but well fitting clothing. At the price point, one of the only places a lanky dude can find a very well fitting dress shirt (their Extra Slim 1MX shirts or their suiting). Also carries all of these items in extremely garish colors. Like Banana Republic, sale codes are extremely frequent for those with patience and a little effort can generally get you at least 50% off of sale. || http://www.express.com/
|-
| farfetch || {{High}} || Boutique shopping aggregator. || http://farfetch.com/
|-
| Forever 21 || {{Mall-Tier}} || Has a fuckton of items in many eclectic styles, but the quality is generally absolute garbage. Like H&M, is best for experimenting with new styles without breaking the bank. || http://www.forever21.com/
|-
| [[Frank & Oak]] || {{Low}} || Good quality menswear basics. I wouldn't recommend them for taller guys, as everything seems to run a bit short. Free shipping. || http://www.frankandoak.com/
|-
| Gant || {{Medium}} || Bland, basic clothing with okay quality that is slightly overpriced. Good to cop during sales, prep staple. || http://www.gant.com/
|-
| Gap || {{Mall-Tier}} || Carry decent basics. Overpriced for the quality though. Their button ups and chinos are worth it on sale. Operates on the same business model as Banana Republic, and coupon codes ar often usable on both sites. || http://www.gap.com/
|-
| H&M || {{Mall-Tier}} || Recommended for very basic clothes and occasionally more stylish pieces. || http://www.hm.com/
|-
| I Heart Yours || {{Mall-Tier}} || Sells very basic, inexpensive shoes. || http://www.iheartyours.com/
|-
| J. Crew || {{Low}} || Good quality clothes with acceptable cuts. High-ish price for the quality they offer. || http://www.jcrew.com/
|-
| JCPenney || {{Mall-Tier}} || Good place to cop Levi's jeans if you cannot find an outlet. Otherwise shit quality and full of soccer moms. || http://www.jcpenney.com/
|-
| Karmaloop || {{Low}} || Has sales literally almost every day. Can sometimes find entry-level designer brands (e.g. Naked and Famous) at deep discount. || http://www.karmaloop.com/
|-
| Kith || {{Medium}} || || http://www.kith.com/
|-
| Leffot || {{High}} || Retailer of high-end shoes, from Edward Green to Viberg. || http://www.leffot.com/
|-
| Levi's || {{Low}} || Large selection of jeans (among other things) in a variety of colors and cuts. The quality is beginner level in their cheaper jeans not made in the USA, but at the sub $100 price range they offer a quality that can compare to the denim offered by higher end brands and beats anything else in the same bracket. Good marriage of quality and price. Don't treat rigid washes as raw denim. Levi's often has sales, so avoid buying at full retail. Avoid if you live outside NA, ridiculous markups. || http://levi.com/
|-
| Macy's || {{Mall-Tier}} || Purveyor of various dad/mom/grandma-core clothing and other bland or otherwise bottom-of-the-barrel designer brands. Generally pretty cheap - occasionally they have something worth buying. || http://www.macys.com/
|-
| Mr. Porter || {{High}} || The male version of Net-a-Porter. Designer clothing from Givenchy, Prada, Alexander McQueen, Loro Piana, etc. || http://mrporter.com/
|-
| Nordstrom || {{Medium}} || Carries various upscale brands, you can find anything from Varvatos to Ferragamo to Prada here. More menswear/prep orientated than similar stores. Great if you need a suit and pair of oxfords. || http://nordstrom.com/
|-
| OAK || {{High}} || || http://www.oaknyc.com/
|-
| Old Navy || {{Mall-Tier}} || Pretty inexpensive clothing, the fits can be a bit off. Sometimes there are passable pieces. Definitely go to a store to try things on before buying. || http://www.oldnavy.com/
|-
| Pull & Bear || {{Mall-Tier}} || Similar to H&M, but more colorful || http://www.pullandbear.com/
|-
| Ralph Lauren || {{Mall-Tier}} || Overpriced for the quality, has some decent pieces but are often ruined by rampant branding. || http://www.ralphlauren.com/
|-
| Revolve Clothing || {{Medium}} || Revolve Clothing offers 20% off on first purchases if you email them with your order number. || http://www.revolveclothing.com/
|-
| River Island || {{Mall-Tier}} || Extremely similar to TOPMAN. || http://www.riverisland.com/
|-
| [[SSENSE]] || {{High}} || Designer clothes. Beware imposter stores from China with identical websites. || http://www.ssense.com/
|-
| Self Edge || {{High}} || One of the first stores to help establish the high end denim scene, SE shines at doing collabs with various brands. || http://www.selfedge.com/
|-
| Target || {{Mall-Tier}} || The Mossimo athletic fit t-shirts are decent and the Merona line is a good way to fill up a new white collar worker's wardrobe on a budget with some tailoring. If you can find what you need on the clearance racks and do your own alterations, it is very good value. || http://www.target.com/
|-
| TOPMAN || {{Mall-Tier}} || Similar to ASOS it tends to be hit and miss, however they do have a good returns policy and if you avoid the typical 'lad' items (usually t-shirts with pop culture references) and it should be decent. Their Stretch skinny jeans and chinos stretch out quite a bit. Suits and blazers are great looking especially considering the price. || http://www.topman.com/
|-
| Tres Bien || {{High}} || Mostly streetwear, but they also have a pretty good formalwear selection. Probably the cheapest shop you will find for designer stuff, some nice discount codes from time to time || http://shop.tres-bien.com/
|-
| Unionmade || {{High}} || One of the best shops out there for mid- to high-tier menswear. Does collaborations with Alden fairly often. || http://www.unionmadegoods.com/
|-
| Uniqlo || {{Low}} || Above-average quality basics, recommended for entry level. || http://www.uniqlo.com/
|-
| Urban Outfitters || {{Mall-Tier}} || Decent clothes, a little more on the expensive side of fast fashion. Use discretion - some pieces are wildly overpriced for the quality. || http://www.urbanoutfitters.com/
|-
| Yoox || {{Medium}} || || http://yoox.com/
|-
| Zara || {{Mall-Tier}} || Notorious fast-fashion retailer. Jumps aboard every trend's bandwagon and mass produces their own knock-off versions. Poor quality clothing for cheap. Generally very slim-fitting. Not awful if used sparingly. || http://www.zara.com/

[[File:Frank_and_Oak_3.png|300px|thumb]]

Frank & Oak is a vertically integrated online menswear brand with premium threads and a simple, integrated, and personalized shopping experience. The Montreal based brand deals almost exclusively in a Traditional clothing style, or what is generally referred to as "Men's Wear". Launched in February of 2012, Frank & Oak's goal is to provide quality Men's Wear at an acceptable price. Through a small in house design team and outsourced labour, Frank & Oak is able to keep costs fairly low while providing usable, quality products.

One of the more unique aspects of Frank & Oak is the fact that a new collection is released every month. This means that each piece is produced in very small quantities thus making it difficult to purchase the more popular items.

== Membership ==

Frank & Oak, like many online only retailers, requires that a customer becomes a member to view their products. A unique membership type called the Hunt Club allows customers to order a Hunt Club Crate which is shipped, at no charge, filled 3 pieces from the month's new collection. The Hunt Club Partner is then expected to try each piece to find if he likes them or not, then simply ship the crate back and pay for what he keeps.
