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

Mall Tier / Fast Fashion

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

http://www.asos.com

http://www.topman.com

http://www.urbanoutfitters.com/

http://www.hm.com/ - Recommended for very basic pieces and occasionally more stylish pieces, don't buy shoes from them.

http://www.aldoshoes.com - Shoes will fall apart within a month. Only buy on SALE.

http://www.americaneagle.com/

http://www.americanapparel.net/ - Has basic t-shirts in a variety of cuts.

http://www.forever21.com/ - 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.

Gap, Old Navy, Banana Republic

http://www.jcpenney.com/ Good place to nab Levi's jeans if you cannot find an outlet

http://www.express.com/ Good for better fitting dress clothes. Brown people (Indians, Hispanics, Brazilians, etc) love it alot for some reason.

http://www.ralphlauren.com/

http://www.macys.com/

Low Tier

http://www.Uniqlo.com - Above average quality basics, recommended for entry level.

http://www.Levi.com - 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).

http://www.riverisland.com/

http://www.jcrew.com/index.jsp - Good quality clothes with acceptable cuts. High-ish price for the quality they offer ^{[Citation needed]}

http://www.karmaloop.com/ - Has sales literally almost every day. Can sometimes find entry-level designer brands (e.g. Naked and Famous) at deep discount.

http://www.frankandoak.com/ - 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.

http://www.everlane.com/ - Their tees are generally well liked and they claim to offer the same quality as more expensive brands but with less markup.

Middle Tier

http://www.yoox.com/

http://www.allsaints.com/

http://www.april77-shop.com/ - April 77 is notable for their large selection jeans which come in many different sizes, cuts, and colors.

http://shop.nordstrom.com/

http://www.revolveclothing.com/

http://store.archivalclothing.com/ - Great outdoorsy backpacks, and some other vintage-inspired clothes.

High Tier

http://www.unionmadegoods.com/ - One of the best shops out there for mid- to high-tier menswear. Does collaborations with Alden fairly often.

http://tateandyoko.com/ - A good place to buy high-end raws and various other clothes.

http://www.superdenim.co.uk/ - Great for "heritage" menswear and some streetwear.

http://blueingreensoho.com/ - Mainly sells raw denim.

http://www.thecorner.com/

http://shop.tres-bien.com/ - 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.

I think I didn't mention that gilt and myhabit require to make a amazon account or something? But I think it's free to make just a tiny bit of registration process.

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/
