Chinese e commerce sites like SheIn and Romwe. I know it's fast fashion which is bad but you can't beat the prices.

I have started buying my tee shirts at American Eagle. The quality is much better than Gap and Banana Republic where I used to buy all my teeshirts.
Jeans I still get from Gap.

I get a lot of casual clothes (shorts, tees) at Costco.

Thrift stores - you can find clothes with the tags still on them. My best friend is a stylist and he helps me “cultivate” my style. Turns out it’s fun and cheap. It’s amazing what can be found and I’m not adding to the pollution of disposal clothing. Since I save so much on clothes though, my shoes are expensive and I get them on line (Allen Edmonds, etc.). I’m a retired corporate worker who used to spend a small fortune on clothes. A fortune pissed away.

R4 me too. 100% cotton and they last a lot longer and don’t shrink. They are onto something with this. The spring colors are are classic and I hope they keep this up.

Men's clothes rarely change. Button-up shirts, polos, khaki/chino/blue jeans.
I have clothes and shoes I bought 30 years ago from thrift stores. I do not go to Kohl's.

My local farm supply store here in Oregon……a lot of the western wear shirts are paisley prints and other designs that were popular around 1966-69.. I like that look…slightly hippie looking…which explains why I like them so much……

I also love Gap jeans and American Eagle tees.
Forever 21 has had some cool artist collections in the last few years (Basquiat, Keith Harring) and I own some tees from those. I've heard that the capsule collections like those are better quality than their regular shirts, but never bought any of their regular shirts, so I don't know.
I buy my work clothes from Brooks Brothers and Banana Republic.

I have a TJMaxx designer store near me, so I used to shop there and Nordstrom Rack a lot. I have found Gucci, Hugo Boss, Burberry etc. For everyday clothing and workout gear, I shop at Costco and Sierra.

Since retirement and my donation of all my old suits, ties, shirts, and belts that I had to wear for my career, now I buy mainly @ Sam's Club, Walmart, Costco, and cheap shoe stores.
Don't need to dress to impress any longer.

I have very long arms, so I have all my long sleeve shirts made; everything else from Nordstrom or Macy's, unless I see something I really like somewhere else.

The whole world has gone carefree and casual. I doubt I will ever be able to dress for complete comfort and not dress to impress. As I am shaped like a strange triangle, my suits, sport coats and other dress clothes have always been tailored to fit. This may seem like an extravagance but it makes the best of what I have to work with. It is also the best use of my time as I don't ever just shop for fun.
My casual clothes are from smaller companies that have sales every year. I always buy a year in advance. My yard clothes come from places like Orvis. I splurge on handmade sweaters from Ireland and dress shoes from Italy and casual shoes from the UK.
I know this is only the stupid advice of an old dude and therefore totally irrelevant here. Dress the way you wish to be treated and appropriate for the occasion. You will be amazed how people will respond- typically in a very positive way.

Lands End. Their Super T's with/without pocket are great. Polos are great. All cotton Sail Rigger Button Downs (not "Comfort-First" ) are so well made. I know people look down on them because they are preppy and bought by Sears but I haven't found a quality to match it even at twice the price. ALways a sale. Today 50% off. Lord, it sounds like I work there.

I’m 6’3” and I’ve finally given up on buying anything that isn’t a tall size, since regular sizes more often than not are too short. Banana Republic and J Crew have surprisingly more options in their outlet store ranges that are tall sizes than the regular stores. Also t-shirts from some online companies like TallSlimTees that specialize.

DL Fashion Threads are fascinating in that while many DLers very much fit gay stereotypes in many regards, in terms of fashion the prevailing normcore aesthetic is the complete opposite of the usual Prada label queen aesthetic.
Second thought on this thread is that I haven't bought clothes in the past 18 months--I had enough t-shirts and sweatpants already. (I suspect I am not alone on that.)

I mainly buy from an online retailer called The Iconic that ranges various brands. But I mainly buy the brand Scotch and Soda. Previously it was Ben Sherman which is a UK brand but I found their quality dropped so switched to S&S. I buy too many clothes which results in me cleaning out my closet every year. I give my friend a chance to look through to see if there is anything he wants then I gets donated to the thrift shop. A lot of stuff is barely worn which is something I need to work on.

R43 -- The only clothing I buy at Walmart are end-of-season polo shirts for $7.50, 100% cotton. And occasionally 100% printed cotton T-shirts on sale for $5. Quality is not bad.

I really like the Red Head cotton shorts that Cabela's sells. Just ordered three more pair in various colors. These are true shorts, not the long shorts that I dislike.

R43 - I disagree. You can get some very good fabrics there in end-of-season. I got undershirts, polo shirts and a pair if pants in 100% cotton and classic tailoring. No issues. When my sister was losing weight after having her son, she didn't see the point of buying stuff that she wouldn't be able to wear in a few months anywhere else. A basic pair of black leggings, some 100% cotton tank tops, basic Lee jeans and a classic white button-up were surprises she wasn't expecting there at all but it was 1/4 of the price at the mall.

I buy stacks of things from The Iconic too R48. They have a really good selection and AfterPay. I like Scotch & Soda too. Its a Dutch brand so sometimes the sizing can be too tall and long.

I really do not wear ANY other clothes than listed above. I live in a high altitude tropical climate (not USA). Amazon is listed repeatedly due to the fact that I live in a third world country where nothing is available and shopping is done on the internet exclusively and then shipped.
