don’t know your style I sometimes get discounted shit like old navy/h&m jeans, random unbranded stores, etc.. stuff that fits me and looks surprisingly actually good.
nowadays I can afford stuff I actually like, still find myself doing though the same though because heck, I can resell it anyway.
Visit a thrift store near where you live. Just check the armits and collars on tops and hems and the crotch area on bottoms. Don’t buy polyester and be cautious of shitty synthetic and semi-synthetic fabrics. Remember fit is key and wear what you like.
Most thrift stores around my area usually only have women clothes, with a small section of mens, but I’ll check it out
Ya, the women’s section is usually 5-20 times as big as the men’s section and you’ll still see women looking in the men’s section, but just do the best that you can. I’ve had little luck with pants in physical stores, but you can find some bargains if you buy used online. Check Poshmark, EBay, TRR, Depop, or online thrift stores for bottoms.
Buy used from eBay, there are a lot of resellers who get stuff from thrift stores and resell them. They will of course be more expensive than thrift stores, but brands that have a low resale value will typically be priced pretty low. You can easily find $60 shirts for $5 on there due to this
I bought a few pairs of jeans and polos, you can even haggle or if youre smart like me use an ebay tracker that shows items sold so they wont scam you. most smart sellers want to get rid of inventory asap and are willing to let them go on the cheap

Don’t buy used clothes, you can get decent new clothes for the same or even less (bc many people are stingy). You will always have the feeling of uncertainity while wearing them about the pre-owner:
– did the preowner was a pedophile and masturbated to kids while wearing the clothes?
– did he/her used the clothes to urinate them while wearing
– did he/her lack hygiene
– is he/her someone you would hate with all your heart
etc.
I’ve never in my life though about any of that shit. Maybe u need to take your meds, and stop projecting your nasty habits on previous owners of your clothes.
I am not projecting, because I am not pedophile or a sexual pervert, I just don’t trust people I don’t know and maybe you are too naive in trusting anonymous people.
lmaoo is this bait? if not you seriously need to chill. how do you go about life??
by your logic the clothes you try on in dressing rooms or stuff that have been returned and have no idea about could’ve been worn or shit on by a disgusting person, a nutjob/pedo, or a shitty person.

…..why would you even think up such a thing?, that says more about you then anyone else.

If you find something you really like but are iffy, keep in mind that. you can always modify stuff
If you don’t know how to sew or don’t have any modification experience, it’s something really useful and meditative to learn and do. Look up video tutorials etc..
I found it pretty natural to pick up stuff up quickly.

modern 501s are approaching slim fit
>Broke as shit, but still want to look good
You do not need brands.
Just avoid logos, sneakers, t-shirts, jeans and hoodies, which are the epitome of pleb.
I don’t get it. Are sneakers, jeans and a white T-shirt somehow not supposed to be the uniform of the proletariat?

Uniqlo. I know people hate when you shill it on this board but they have very nice quality for the price. Levis are also good, buy the 501s and make sure they are 100% cotton. Also shop on depop/ebay for used clothes that are not fast fashion.
>garbage
I’ll stand by levi’s the 501s and 511s anyway, i love those little nighuinos like you wouldnt believe, they can take a beating. You can buy 100% cotton but people dont want to pay premium.
Even the 100% cotton Levi’s classics aren’t made like they used to. Every costumer and employee of theirs knows this. They’d rather advertise quality and ship work to sub-sub-sub-contracted Asian sweatshops than actually make quality pants.
I get you, but you can buy 501s made in the us albeit more expensive

Can they make denim out of other fibres?
Not sure if I’ve ever seen Levis that weren’t 100% cotton.
Is it a European thing?
What he was getting at is a lot of brands are throwing in polyester to be cheap or ‘strectch materials’ like elastane that wear out faster. Oh ya, and hemp denim is possible, but few brands have brought that to market and it’s usually overpriced.
for pants, dickies, kohls has this "weatherproof" house brand jean that is like 5% spandex and might be the most comfy ive worn. they hold up alright too, my oldest pair is like 7 or 8 years old now and only the button needed to be fixed. jeans in general seem to be all shit nowadays anyway.
for dress/business perry ellis like always has sales, ive found them to look nice fit well and are very comfortable. they seem to hold up fine but i mean no one is doing yard work in slacks now.
otherwise just go thrift and look for stuff that has held up well. i really dont have any faith in a single brand anymore because quality is just degrading across the board. just avoid buying new cheap fast fashion that will disintegrate after a year and you should be fine.
had this one pair of jogger i liked from amazon, brand was like WT07 or something weird i forget, but i remember buying another pair after 2 years because i got paint all over my original pair. they changed the construction of the pants completely – new materials, new stitching, new pattern – and it was absolute hecking dogshit. pockets literally ripped open minutes after wearing them. clothes are just a joke now.
Just look up blank tees. Make sure that they’re 100% cotton, combed and ringspun are a plus. Pima, Supima, and other extra long staple cottons are premium. Organic is better for the environment.

This, remember that you can resell too, so you might offset what spend if you can make a profit.

Second on old navy. Sales are pretty good, never had issues with quality.

Polyester underwear is extremely bad for your health.
Is that why i keep shitting myself
Idk. But you’re probably less fertile. If you wanted a contraceptive, SUPRISE! you’ve been wearing one.
I think everyone deserves better than plastic.
I usually buy average joe brands, who are on sale, like Levis 501 or 502 for 30€ or Esprit sweaters for 10 or 20€.
Levis 501 are timeless (of course there are variations through the time, but the differences from the 60s onwards are neglectable)

>avoid t-shirts
NTA, what do I wear aside from that then? Collared shirt?
A polo.
or a shirt with rolled up sleeves.
I use logos, sneakers, t-shirts, jeans and hoodies. I’m not a pleb. You are.

Jesus Christ, have you been living under a rock? 80% of Levi’s now contain Spandex.
Same for all cheap clothes. What do you think "stretch" means?
i had very bad experience with unqlo jeans, they don"t last very long, less than other cheap brand like hm or berka
Ya, their quality has gone to shit

Arket, on sale if need be
Where the heck.do I get a thin long sleeve t shirt that’s 100% cotton or linen? Where can I get comfy linen pants?
IT DOESNT EXIST
Not bad, just generic and very boring. Fashion is about self expression, not blending in.
what stock black/colored t shirts are the best besides walmart brands?
Just look up blank tees. Make sure that they’re 100% cotton, combed and ringspun are a plus. Pima, Supima, and other extra long staple cottons are premium. Organic is better for the environment.
