Where do you shop for clothes?

Will anybody else here admit to shopping at Chess King and Merry Go Round back in the 80s?

I'm guilty for Chess King.

One could buy a pretty mean white belt back in the day at Chess King. Mine got me countless compliments from the ladies.

tee hee :)

actually, upon further reflection and taking history into account, i now suspect you were in fact making fun of smackie's fashion advice…

Or self-depractingly mocking the way I dressed when I was 16. :) tee hee :)

I think I bought my leather tie there. My very, very skinny leather tie.

i thought this was going to be an acrostic.

Still, I have no doubt that Vansmack gets compliments from the ladies on his white belt.

My experience with wearing questionable fashion items was that you'll pick up compliments no matter how tacky the item. Some women think the fact that you stand out from the fashion sheep is reason enough to compliment you.

Of course, for every female compliment you get, there's probably five to ten others snickering. :D But if that one person complimenting you is attractive, who cares!

I'll always stop in Supreme if I'm in NY or LA (though they keep a far better selection in the LA store), as far as if there's a particular tee shirt of theirs I want I usually keep tabs on about 10-15 NY/LA area kids online that are always happy to wait in line to make an extra $10-15 on a tee shirt so a lot of times I'll just patronize them (or find someone on Ebay if absolutely necessary, as I'm sure you know Supreme is so widely faked that it's definitely a last-ditch option only). And if you live in the DC area, Commonwealth on Florida Avenue ( www.cmonwealth.com ) is one of only 3 stores in the Continental US licensed to sell their stuff (of course in much smaller quantities) but they're good for finding a piece here and there, especially the accessory type stuff like backpacks and bags.

HAHA I noticed that after I posted, not sure if I could've rearranged the stores to make a word or not :p

i love american apparel. the one on houston near the mercury lounge is my favorite, mostly because if i ever need something warmer i just run into the store and buy something :D its come in handy on some colder nights in nyc than i was prepared for.

Let's see, seven out of nine of those I've never heard of. And YOU'RE mocking hipsters (on another thread)?

i love love love american apparel too. the skirts are my favorite.

i just found an aa wholesaler and spent way too much.

How do you people shop exclusively online? Do you just know how some of these retailers fit you already, or do you just order the standard size you need? I've never had clothes fit me the same way from store to store. Hell, half the time they don't fit me from pant to pant.

I just had a nice run of shopping thanks to my wife's substantial discount at Barney's. Now that she's moved on, I genuinely stick to shops like Banana Republic & French Connection for work/dressier clothes, Old Navy & American Eagle for shorts and casual stuff, and eBay & shows for t-shirts. But then again, I let my wife dress me. It's easier that way.
