Revision as of 04:00, 2 June 2013

This page is under heavy construction. Please excuse the mess while we clean up and streamline this information.

The current revision involves a shift from a list format to a table format. Descriptions really need looked at.

BIG FUCKING NOTICE: ALL INFORMATION PRESENTED BELOW NEEDS TO BE REVIEWED. DATA WAS MERELY COPIED FROM FORMAT TO FORMAT. PLEASE REVIEW AND MAKE CHANGES WHERE NECESSARY.


PROTIP: Use the sort buttons at the top of the tables to sort by name or tier.

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.

Cotton On eMall/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. http://www.cottonon.com.au/
Country Road eMall/Fast fashion Some nice "dressy" clothing. Definitely higher end of Mall Tier http://www.countryroad.com.au/
Factorie Shit Low quality pleb gear. http://www.factorie.com.au/

Aldo Shoes eMall/Fast fashion Shoes will fall apart within a month. Only buy on SALE. http://www.aldoshoes.com
AllSaints cMedium Decent construction but sub-par materials for the price, they often try to sneak cheap fabrics into the mix.

American Apparel eMall/Fast fashion Has basic t-shirts in a variety of cuts. Tees fit well even for slimmer people. http://www.americanapparel.net/
American Eagle Shit 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 cMedium 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 cMedium Great outdoorsy backpacks, and some other vintage-inspired clothes http://store.archivalclothing.com/

Atelier New York bHigh "Goth-ninja" stuff. Everything is black, grey, or white. http://www.ateliernewyork.com/
Banana Republic eMall/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 bHigh From high "goof" to Hamptons prep, anything that's expensive will be on here. http://www.barneys.com/
Bergdorf Goodman bHigh Similar to Neiman Marcus but with even more expensive labels. http://www.bergdorfgoodman.com/

Epaulet New York bHigh Straight-up classic menswear, focusing on a high quality of construction. Has lots of exclusive Carmina models. http://www.epauletnewyork.com/
Everlane dLow 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 eMall/Fast fashion Good for better-fitting dress clothes, everything else is Persian-core. http://www.express.com/
farfetch bHigh Boutique shopping aggregator. http://farfetch.com/
Forever 21 Shit Has a fuckton of tacky items in many eclectic styles, but the quality is always dubious. http://www.forever21.com/
Frank & Oak dLow 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 cMedium http://www.gant.com/
Gap eMall/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 eMall/Fast fashion Recommended for very basic clothes and occasionally more stylish pieces. http://www.hm.com/
I Heart Yours eMall/Fast fashion Sells very basic, inexpensive shoes. http://www.iheartyours.com/
J. Crew dLow Good quality clothes with acceptable cuts. High-ish price for the quality they offer. http://www.jcrew.com/
JCPenney eMall/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 dLow 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 cMedium http://www.kith.com/
Leffot bHigh Retailer of high-end shoes, from Edward Green to Viberg. http://www.leffot.com/
Levi's dLow 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 eMall/Fast fashion http://www.macys.com/
Mr. Porter bHigh The male version of Net-a-Porter. Designer clothing from Givenchy, Prada, Alexander McQueen, Loro Piana, etc. http://mrporter.com/
Nordstrom cMedium 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 cMedium http://www.oaknyc.com/
Old Navy eMall/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/

River Island eMall/Fast fashion Extremely similar to TOPMAN. http://www.riverisland.com/
SSENSE bHigh Designer clothes. Beware imposter stores from China with identical websites. http://www.ssense.com/
Self Edge bHigh 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 eMall/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 eMall/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 bHigh 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 bHigh One of the best shops out there for mid- to high-tier menswear. Does collaborations with Alden fairly often. http://www.unionmadegoods.com/
Uniqlo dLow Above-average quality basics, recommended for entry level. http://www.uniqlo.com/
Urban Outfitters eMall/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 cMedium http://yoox.com/
Zara eMall/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/
