Seems like there’s very few options on the high street now for men’s clothing and I’m not that keen on buying online without trying first, so where do you go?

  5. TK Maxx – I get loads of clothes there. But I’m also happy to shop online at places that sell old season clothes, like M&M Direct for instance. Branded clothing tend to have fairly stable sizing. Eg any Diesel jeans I buy always fit consistently.

  6. I tend to go to H&M and next.

    I hate designer stuff with logos plastered all over it. I think it looks awful.

    Apart from that and I know most won’t be able to do this but I still take hand-me-downs from my two older brothers to this day and I’m 25. You’d be surprised how long clothes can last for if properly maintained and a quality product. I hate to see clothes go to waste when they are so expensive these days.

  7. I was surprised how many nice men’s clothes where in Next recently, seems much nicer and more options than the women’s.

  10. I don’t like heavily branded clothes so usually tesco, burton and mandm direct…. sometimes sports direct but that’s usually for sports stuff and trainers only.

  16. Tbh it’s supermarkets for the basics (t-shirts/jeans/underwear/etc) and a combination of outdoors shops and DIY/trade counters for other things (comfortable socks/micro fleeces/coats/etc) with occasional purchases from more specialist retailers

  17. I try to buy quality gear that lasts, and don’t buy very often. Always online, and now, never venture into shops. I get my jeans from wherever has a sale on for the style and make I know fits, about every two years. Same for the T-shirts I like. I like a good quality overshirt from HebTroCo. Shirts from autumn ranges of Finisterre. And about every five years I buy a new pair of red wing boots, always trying to find a 10% off offer. About six years ago I bought a Gloverall donkey jacket which is still going strong.

  18. Currently have on Teaco Jeans. Sports direct – Sol Cal hoodie. Primark t shirt. I don’t belive there are many mens shops that aren’t like £200+ for a pair of jeans. But if I want something abit more upmarket i just go to TK-Max x

  20. Personally, H&M, Zara, Next and Asos. The primark for stuff like basic t shirts, socks etc

  21. Cordings for trousers/jeans/chinos. They’re in London Piccadilly and online. Expensive. Last >20 years worn every week (so far).

  24. Half the time: designer clothes from designer outlets. I’ve probably got about £10k worth of designer clothes. It’s rare that I get them but when I go, I splurge.

    The other half: Primark, Tesco, Matalan. I’ve probably got about £400 worth of these.

    Honestly? When it comes to Tesco and Matalan, if not for the logo I wouldn’t tell the difference. I’ve had £250 Diesel denim jeans that looked as good, fit as good, and lasted less time than a pair of £18 Matalan jeans.

  27. Usually TKMAXX but I found a really cool website EMP they are quite reasonable prices and tons of offers

  28. I find my size in high quality heritage brands (think Ralph Lauren) and then buy it all on eBay. Costs less than shopping on the high street, doesn’t create more waste, supports individuals, looks fantastic, and actually lasts because it’s quality gear.

    I used to go to TK Maxx but their prices have unfortunately gone up considerably. (Used to be able to get John Smedley and POLO Ralph Lauren knitwear for £25-£30). Now that same stuff is like £80. Can get it on eBay for less used (sometimes under £10) than what I paid years ago so that’s where I do my thing these days.

  30. In my mid 20s. Buy most of my stuff from M&S, Tesco, Asda and Sainsburys. They have a decent selection and the bonus is you don’t have to take a few hours out your day to go into town.

    Next and H&M are ok, but as a larger guy literally nothing fits. Don’t really get the logic in them selling XXL slim fit clothes. If you need something that big, your not slim!

  31. John Lewis, M&S, Next, Crew, supermarkets.

    I’m in my early 30s and find that H&M, etc. look too young now, I don’t really like the streetwear look.

  32. Uniqlo or John Lewis has a good selection of things. Normally have a few places for a few this. Levi’s for jeans, Ralph Lauren for shirts, Carhartt for workwear/tough daily stuff.

    Anything technical our outdoors generally the northface/Patagonia or Berghaus.
    Try to only buy high quality long lasting things. I live in a big city with these stores. Buy once cry once generally speaking.

  34. I buy mine mostly from Sainsburys, although I have dabbled with Tesco and ASDA as well.

    I find Tesco is the best for coats, but for anything else I usually just go to Sainsburys. Their jeans are pretty good, as are their jumpers.

    One thing I do like from Primark though is the T-shirts. They’re £2.50, and while they’re thin, they’re very comfortable. And as a naturally warm person, I quite like the thinness of them!

    Another unlikely place is Poundland, some of their Pep&Co stuff is actually decent. We’re lucky enough to have a Poundland not too far away with a whole floor dedicated to Pep&Co which has a good selection, but our local store only has a small selection at the back and is relatively shit.

  35. I buy the sizes and fits of things I like in multiple colours. I bulk buy at outlet centres which makes a big difference in price, and the stuff tends to last.

    Jeans I like Levi’s. T shirts I buy plain ones from all saints. Jumpers I like Fred Perry or quarter zips from Abercrombie (usually a decent sale on). Boots I like solovair, expensive but really good quality. For trainers I like to stick to vans.

  36. Uniqlo for Oxford shirts and knitwear. Superb quality, better than Reiss which is 2/3 times the price. TM Lewin for work shirts (on sale).

    Massimo Dutti is also good quality for jackets and jumpers etc – their sale is usually decent when it’s on 👍

  38. Amazon, because I was already on there and I try and avoid giving my personal information to any more sites than I need to

    I’ll probably have to give in and create an ASOS account at some point
