Where should I buy clothes?

One · 17 Jan 2014 at 15:28

So I don't particularly like huge logos on my clothes, but equally I don't like clothes from Tesco. Next is okay for some stuff like jeans. But I dint really know many other okay shops. Obviously I need a variety or I'll just look like a walking shop advertisment.

Where do you recommend to shop?

Burton, but I find their clothes have gone downhill dramatically over the last year.
H&M?
Republic I believe are still around.

Although I grab some clothes from TheHut & M&MDirect, as they have deals on occasionally.

The toilet store?

For T-Shirts and the like, TK Maxx is always worth a shot as they tend to have quite a wide variety of brands on offer, both plain and logo'd.

The only other places I tend to look are River Island and Burton, however I tend to leave the buying down to my wife as she is definitely better at that sort of thing and I'm not that bothered, as long as I don't look like a hobo.

Go to Matalan. Top of the line premium gear. You won't find better.

How the hell can you not walk into a town centre with a couple of hundred quid or whatever your budget is, walk into a shop and see if you like what they sell?!!

Spend an afternoon deciding what you like and buy it. Done.

Please don't go to Burton! You'll come out looking like a cretin.

I think you really need to know what it is that you want to buy, and then just go somewhere that sells those things.

i tend to get my clothes from Gap, Asos, or Topman.

Because I don't want to spend a whole afternoon looking at clothes I mostly don't want to buy while in a grubby town centre mixing with slow old people and scum. I'd rather just look on their websites.

Thanks for the genuine responses with shop names!

H&M, Asos or Burton usually for me.

Liking the look of Uniqlo stuff though.

Is it possible that deep down you're not really that much of a people person?

Not much different from being here.

Just go shopping. You might enjoy the fresh air and the trip out of the house.

Its them, not him!

Try the big department stores, you'll get as lost on the website as you may in store with their variety.

just go to the reduced section in your local supermarket, thats what i do as im not a fan of clothes in general and have a few 'nice' clothes for when they are required... also the fact im trying to lose weight so buying new and expensive XL clothes seems a waste as i would like to be in L within 6 months (this isnt a new year thing i was in XXL 6 months ago)

elJarmen · 17 Jan 2014 at 18:36

H&M, PRIMAK and Debenhams for me.

Go to an out-of town shopping centre that's hard to reach by public transport and opens late in the evening. Going late on a weekday evening tends to be a nicer experience than most city centres.
