I ask that maybe some of you guys could offer some basic places that are cheap but nice to shop at to build a foundation for a newbie's fashion in general. I have yet to find my style but I am attracted to clean cut stylish looks (would like a wardrobe of suits if I had the money xD) though a bit nerdy/geeky look is cool too . In other words what are some ok (friendly to wallet but good deal for quality)places to consider shopping at that isn't AE or Hollister crap (REALLY dislike them). | ||

Like for a coat, will 100% wool be better as an investment, than, say, those mixed topman ones? which catch my eye actually. Except for that they're out of my size -_- As I'm sure you could figure out, the material of a coat depends on the circumstances you would wear it in. Wool would obviously be a cold weather jacket. Those multi-material jackets on topman are no exception. Take for instance one of those wool jackets with leather patches. The patches are there purely for stylistic significance, they don't help or hinder the jacket in any way with regards to the weather. In most cases, the mixed jackets are that way for extra style. | ||

I didnt bother returning but i did learn my lesson... 2 are my bean boots which fit ok and didnt have to be returned. | ||

I need a coat as well and I don't want to go through returning items so yeah lol use your nipples as a guide hehe actually im not sure what part of your chest... i'd buy the topman online tbh | ||

Gray suit (not too dark, not too pale). White shirt with this? Black belt + black shoes = ok? | ||

how much are the boxer briefs? i know we've kinda said no H&M but i do have to vouch for the David Beckham line. Really comfy after a wear or two (but trunks > boxer briefs, just size up 1 if its too small, but they stretch out). Can't speak for longevity yet though XenOmega, occasion? | ||

I might have a brown Belt, but definitely no brown shoes (well I do, but kind of old). Brown belt + black shoes? I'm leaning toward white, but many people say it doesn't have taste (on my FB wall) | ||
