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.


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

Store Tiers

Shit/Tacky-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.

Middle-tier:

High-tier:

Artisanal-tier:

The Iconic dLow Pretty huge range with decent quality, ships around the country. http://www.theiconic.com.au/
Foot-Locker Shit Good if you need shoes for sports, but for things like air jordans/adidas originals you'll find much better prices elsewhere. www.footlocker.com.au/‎
HypeDC eMall/Fast fashion Not bad for sneakers, they sell limited run shoes that may be hard to find elsewhere. Stock Vans, Supra, Adidas, etc. Can be a bit pricey. http://www.hypedc.com/
Kmart Shit Only for underwear/socks. http://www.kmart.com.au/
Connor Shit Similar to YD except worse, tries to do menswear, but often poorly fitted and terrible build quality. Every man and his dog shops there though, avoid at all costs. http://www.connor.com.au/
Tarocash Shit Pretty much identical to Connor, stay away. http://www.tarocash.com.au/
Asos eMall/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/

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 eMall/Fast fashion 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.
http://www.ae.com/

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

Blue in Green bHigh Mainly sells raw denim. http://www.blueingreensoho.com/
Cos dLow http://www.cosstores.com
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/
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. http://www.express.com/
Forever 21 eMall/Fast fashion 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. 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 http://www.gap.com/
H&M eMall/Fast fashion Recommended for very basic clothes and occasionally more stylish pieces. http://www.hm.com/

Kith cMedium http://www.kith.com/
Levi 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 http://mrporter.com/

Nordstrom cMedium http://nordstrom.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/
Pull & Bear eMall/Fast fashion Similar to H&M, but more colorful http://www.pullandbear.com/
Ralph Lauren eMall/Fast fashion http://www.ralphlauren.com/

River Island eMall/Fast fashion Extremely similar to TOPMAN. http://www.riverisland.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/
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. http://www.urbanoutfitters.com/
Yoox cMedium http://yoox.com/
Zara eMall/Fast fashion http://www.zara.com/

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.
  • LN-CC Online & London, UK

  • Epaulet New York Straight-up classic menswear, focusing on a high quality of construction. Has lots of exclusive Carmina models.

Uncategorized Tier

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/
