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/Fast fashion | 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/Fast fashion | Slightly overpriced but decent quality prep, similar to Club Monaco but more roomier. Pretty bland, basically a fancy, more expensive GAP - tends to have a sale every month. | 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/Fast fashion | 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/Fast fashion | Good for better-fitting dress clothes, everything else is Persian-core. | http://www.express.com/ |
| farfetch | High | Boutique shopping aggregator. | http://farfetch.com/ |
| Forever 21 | Mall/Fast fashion | Has a fuckton of items in many eclectic styles, but the quality is hit or miss. 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 | http://www.gant.com/ | |
| Gap | Mall/Fast fashion | Carry decent basics. Overpriced for the quality though. Their button ups and chinos are worth it on sale. | http://www.gap.com/ |
| H&M | Mall/Fast fashion | Recommended for very basic clothes and occasionally more stylish pieces. | http://www.hm.com/ |
| I Heart Yours | Mall/Fast fashion | 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/Fast fashion | 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. 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/Fast fashion | 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 | Medium | http://www.oaknyc.com/ | |
| Old Navy | Mall/Fast fashion | 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/Fast fashion | Similar to H&M, but more colorful | http://www.pullandbear.com/ |
| Ralph Lauren | Mall/Fast fashion | 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/Fast fashion | 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/Fast fashion | 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/Fast fashion | 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/Fast fashion | 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/Fast fashion | 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/ |
