The French Connection UK is my favorite store.
Everything in there I want to buy, but they are so expensive.
Anyone remember Cavariccis?

I usually end up at Banana Republic.
banana republic? ACK. If I ever need to go to banana republic/gap/old navy [since they are all owned by 1 company and sell the same exact clothes] to get pants or something that is absent of the company name ill go to old navy for their 15$ jeans. otherwise i order all my clothes online from companies that arent sellouts.

pfffft! yeah, I've had mine cut and they're longer than his, I'm just so anti fashion that I've gone round the other side and am fashionable again.
w00t!

Ask any of these kids what the CBGB stands for and then if they know that, ask em what OMFUG stands for. That is the code, you can tell if they really know. If not laugh and tease....Quote:

I have no idea what either of those acronyms mean.Quote:

And just cause I shop at the 80% off rack doesn't mean that I wear anything, it just means that I may have to wait a long time before I find anything I like.:p
actually they are different levels in terms of market. In theory cheapest is old navy, the gap mid level, then banana republic.Quote:

this i know. but they sell the same clothes w/ a diff name. magically, the more expensive they are the nicer they are.
Umm, call me crazy, but isn't that the way it generally works for most things?Quote:

not if the 2 products you are comparing are exactly the same.
read the first part of my post there guy.
I haven't found banana republic and old navy to be that similar.
I still stick to rather "prep casual"... button up shirts, blazers, khaki's/slacks and the what not... except when I travel or weekends... then it's t-shirt and jeans. Pertaining jeans, I tend to stick with some of the urban threads as of late... just supporting the upstarts (Indigo Red, Azzure, Akademics, Enyce - all of the calmer stuffs).
The whole suit thing... I've been doing that for too long. Barely wear suits now.
and like Jamble, I truly hate huge labels, but I like label clothing. so, stealth labelling is my thing. mostly for quality, I guess.
Known for my "ugly" shoes though.
See your point, No-Tec, but your setup is horrible.Quote:

If you don't take the time to give your point the once-over, it's easy to come away thinking that you're referring to the clothes being nicer and not the labels/brands, 'expensive' not being a word generally associated directly with the description of up-market shops. Their products, yes, the shops, no.
:)
I will be buried/cremated in Levis jeans.
Hmn, maybe from now on it'll be boxers and nothing else.
When people bash Banana Republic, all it says to me is "This is my way of saying I wouldn't be comfortable in clothes that would possibly make someone question my sexuality."
That, or people still think they are the safari look, which is completely gone, and has been for a few years.
I worked there for over a year, might go back over the holidays just to make a little extra money and stock up with the excellent discount you get there. Their product quality is at the best point it's been ever, I was in there a couple weeks ago for the first time in a while and the results of their having aquired a new design team in the past year are obvious. The prices have gone up somewhat, but their latest clothing is really great.
And No Tec, you are factually wrong. Their clothes don't even come from the same place. Gap and Old Navy are the type of clothing store that has people buy designs from other fashion designers, stuff that is modeled at fashion shows. Banana Republic used to do this, but they are not anymore. They have actual people working with them creating their clothing.
I really hope you don't believe that jeans at Old Navy are the same as jeans at BR.

I bought a 72dpi warfare shirt from WA007 (James Berga). Damn good quality shirt that not many people have. It's one of my favorite shirts now.
Anyhow, to answer the original post.
As far as work, I wear a tie 4 days a week and casual day on Friday. Most of what I wear is from Banana Republic and Kenneth Cole.
As far as casual clothing, Kind of prefer plain heathered t-shirts, or short sleeved colar shirts-plenty from thrift stores, which I've been shopping at since high school. have found many great pair of jeans at thrift shops than look similiar to ones you'd pay over $100 for to have that vintage/broken in look. Go to a thrift store and you can find ones someone has already broken in for you.
I guess I'll get something from just about anywhere if it's something I like. Been going to Urban Outfitters for quite a long time, and now we've got an H&M in Chicago as well, some good stuff there.
European fashion is much better than stuff being created in the US for the most part. I guess I've always leaned that way.
I've got several wool blazers, and several full length coats, good for the winter up here. Even if it's nearly below zero, you've got to keep it fashionable. Zip up turtle neck sweaters are a staple.
Oh, and I would not use Pacific Sunwear as a good measurement of what's going on in fashion. They 100% cater to everything that's trendy as far as teens are concerned. Best avoided unless you can find some good skate shoes for sale.
