Stores by Price

Stores are categorized by tiers based on the average cost of clothing sold by the store.

Please keep them alphabetized.

Mall Tier / Fast Fashion

(Good for basics; t-shirts, underwear, socks, etc.)

  • American Apparel Has basic t-shirts in a variety of cuts. Tees fit well even for slimmer people.
  • American Eagle Fairly terrible quality, bright and only 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. Currently has a nice selection of Bay Rans Fakewearers for super cheap.
  • Aldo Shoes Shoes will fall apart within a month. Only buy on SALE.
  • Asos For the home brand quality can be variable, although as the price entails it usually isn't the best however some items do look and fit well. They also have a great and easy returns policy making it easy to try out clothes. The site also offers items from higher tier brands. Has sales on quite frequently.
  • Cotton On 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.
  • H&M Recommended for very basic pieces and occasionally more stylish pieces, terrible quality, don't buy shoes from them.
  • Express Good for better fitting dress clothes. Brown people (Indians, Hispanics, Brazilians, etc) love it alot for some reason.
  • Forever 21 Has a fuckton of items in many eclectic styles, but quality is sometimes dubious. Best to use for experimenting with styles without shelling out too much money.
  • JCPenney Good place to nab Levi's jeans if you cannot find an outlet
  • Target 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.
  • Topman 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.
  • YD Pretty low quality but useful if you are looking for small sizes.

Low Tier

  • Everlane Their tees are generally well liked and they claim to offer the same quality as more expensive brands but with less markup.
  • Frank & Oak Good quality Menswear basics for around the same prices as Uniqlo. I wouldn't recommend them for taller guys, as everything seems to run a bit short. Free shipping.
  • J. Crew Good quality clothes with acceptable cuts. High-ish price for the quality they offer [Citation needed]
  • Karmaloop Has sales literally almost every day. Can sometimes find entry-level designer brands (e.g. Naked and Famous) at deep discount.
  • Levi 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. You may find defected Levi's jeans at Marshalls or TJ Maxx at deep discount (~$30).
  • Uniqlo Above average quality basics, recommended for entry level.

Middle Tier

  • April77 April77 is notable for their large selection jeans which come in many different sizes, cuts, and colors. Providing jeans with a waist size as small as 24, April77 caters to even the skinniest of skeletors.
  • Archival Clothing Great outdoorsy backpacks, and some other vintage-inspired clothes.
  • Revolve Clothing Revolve Clothing offers 20% off on first purchases if you email them with your order number.
  • Yoox Bologna, Italy

High Tier

  • Unionmade One of the best shops out there for mid- to high-tier menswear. Does collaborations with Alden fairly often.
  • Superdenim Great for "heritage" menswear and some streetwear.
  • Tres Bien 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.
  • farfetch Boutique shopping aggregator.
  • Mr Porter The male version of Net-a-Porter. Designer clothing from Givenchy, Prada, Alexander McQueen, Loro Piana, etc.
  • ACNE Designer clothes from Sweden or something
  • LN-CC Online & London, UK
  • Atelier New York "Gothninja" stuff. CCP, BBS, A1923, M.A.+, Guidi; you get the idea. Everything is black, white, or grey.
  • Leffot Retailer of high-end shoes, from Edward Green to Viberg.
  • Epaulet New York Straight-up classic menswear, focusing on a high quality of construction. Has lots of exclusive Carmina models.
  • Berneys New York From high goof to Hamptons prep, anything that's expensive will be on here.
  • Neiman Marcus Lots of menswear but carries a small amount of goof as well. Think Scott Disick.
  • Bergdorf Goodman Similiar to Neiman Marcus but with even more expensive labels. Think Patrick Bateman.

4.0 tier

Uncategorized Tier

  • MyHabit Requires an Amazon.com account.


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. http://global.rakuten.com/en/ http://www.yahoo.co.jp/

  • Cos Online, London
  • Dogfish Online, Cambridge, Norwich (also incorporates Sevenwolves in Cambridge and Norwich)

  • Tate+Yoko A good place to buy high-end raws and various other clothes. Montreal, Canada

Thrift Stores

goodwill.org 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.
