Best Sites for Browsing Fashionable Mens Clothing?

Fashion is a spectrum of individualisms and trends you like to follow.

My fashion style is beachy so shorts and flipflops with musto jumpers and fat face/crew clothing/orvis(mother gets a discount) and a thin gilet.

Fashion is what you make it IMO. It's completely subjective, and not what some douche on TV tells me is supposedly "in" right now. In fact, whatever is IN will soon be OUT and then you'll just look like a scenester victim. For me it's a classic and simple wardrobe. White t shirts, plain v neck and crew jumpers, blazers, chinos, Jeans, etc. All easily mixed and matched and all quality that lasts years. Anyhow, I don't need to dress myself up to look good, I'm a tall dark handsome chap :p

I bore of these comments here.
 
I buy stuff from all over the place. I like subtle branding but I also have plenty of T shirts with massive logos too.
 
In a similar vein to the OP... Leather jackets... Yay or nay? I'm tempted by a mid-dark brown one but don't know where to start. Top shop/Asos etc seem to just have cheap faux ones. If I got one I'd be looking for a proper on and to spend about £200. Any recommendations of shops/websites.

I always find it hard to find a leather jacket that looks "right". Get it wrong and you look like you belong in the 80's down the social or like a true modern fashion victim. Personally I'd be scouring the charity and vintage shops for a quality but stylish jacket that won't cost too much. That way you also get it pre worn in :p
 
mr porter has some good wool tops but I could never spend £300-500 on a top. Even if i could afford it. Maybe if i was ridiculously rich. Mr porter actually looks high quality though, unlike some others that charge a lot for low quality. Just a shame I can't get those kind of tops for £150.
 
When I was on holiday last year I saw a few guys wearing leather jackets, not very bulky or shiny ones but they looked pretty smart, can't seem to find any that look the same.

I'm thinking something like that or something slightly darker.

That's really close to the style I'm thinking about but a bit less shiny. Perhaps they weren't even leather? They were a bit tighter fitting than that.

Perhaps my vision was blurred as I was on holiday and not sober :p

How about this? I'm quite tempted myself. It's a matte waxy distressed brown leather. They also sell it in standard shiny black, a normal shiny brown, red and a matte distressed grey.

I've also seen similar jackets in waxed cotton which may be what you're thinking of? This general style is called a Cafe Racer jacket (after the 50's/60's British biker scene that used to meet in cafes) and is meant to be quite tight fitting (have a read of the SoulRevolver fitting guide).

I've started looking around at general style tips on youtube blogs (note: style rather than 'fashion') and then finding clothes that I want from those tips. The general rule for me is plain but classic clothes and cuts. No big logos. No over the top styles that will be out of 'fashion' in a year, etc.
