GOODY25, get you 25% off at ASOS, if you're an ASOS Premier customer.

Got excited then disappointed.

Where is a good place to get smart causal clothing?

Really dislike current 'trends' no skinny jeans or tight t-shirts are coming anywhere near me.

Uniqlo and Nordstrom are good.

Mr Porter can be good in the sale (unless you're loaded).

Thanks, haven't heard of any of them

meh, was in the Uniqlo store in Thailand and its only good for cheap basics like socks, underwear and bedwear. None of the other premium stuff seemed great quality or a particularly good fit.

I bought a bunch of lambswool sweaters from them which turned out to be great quality. No idea about there other products though, although I've generally just heard good things.

Think I need to learn how to make my own clothes :\

- Chemical Records Clothing
- Asos
- Urban Outfitters
- Flatspot
- H&M
- J.crew

Just some other decent ones I can think of off the top of my head.

As far as I can tell they're full of clothes for people who like **** haircuts and wearing tea cosies.

Well you are in a fashion thread ya know. But even so there are still plenty of clothes on those sites that don't give off that sort of vibe you're trying to describe. Plenty of perfectly casual every day clothing.

I thought your response was in reply to my earlier post. I do not class skinny jeans as being smart.

I really like Tommy Hilfiger for smart/casual. They do good quality knitwear, jeans, trousers and shirts/polos. If you can find a discount outlet store nearby then you're on to a winner. I got a bunch of these Cashmere sweaters for £20 each from an outlet, RRP £85.

Absolutely. Shirts from Zara are especially fantastic.

+1 on Hilfiger. Got a couple of their t-shirts and they're really good quality and fit. Might have to take a trip to Cheshire Oaks next week!

Looking to restock my wardrobe with some new Polo's and plain tee's.

Anyone recommend some places?

And no astronomical prices please, just good old plain Tee's that dont shrink or lose shape.

Then don't buy skinny jeans? All of those shops listed sell slim, straight leg, relaxed or bootcut as well as skinny.
