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: Not many good shops in here, and you're absolutely fucked if you want effay pieces (You won't find them anywhere in Norway). Buying from shops abroad can get expensive, be prepared to pay 30-40 percent of the total in extra fees (Even when buying from other scandinavian countries). Shipping can be expensive af too, because we're outside the European Union. Use this tool to calculate the total http://www.toll.no/templates_TAD/ImportCalc.aspx?id=153564
Buy while traveling abroad or something if you want it at an acceptable price.
