Some of us can't afford this stuff though. $300 dollar boots. 200 dollar shirts? What's the best stores for brothas on a budget? Dropped some weight so i need clothes that actually fit. Not feeling Marshalls, TJ MAXX OR ROSS. I'm in MInneapolis so we got the normal department stores. Macy's, Herbergers, etc. I dont even mess with Nordstorm. Been to a few thrift stores but it's in the burbs so all you see is your typical white boy jeans and shirts. NO STYLE WHATSOEVER .

That Sak's off fifth had some good stuff when I was there a couple years ago

Where do you guys find jeans that aren't nut huggers? I'd like to get a couple new pairs, but everything I find is tailor/slim fit-esque. Even regular/straight fit is a bit too snug for my liking. I'm not looking for 90s baggy jeans, but something just a little loose.

brooks brothers got a good sale going on right now. extra 25% off everything at the checkout and free shipping over $250 i think.

I copped these two items because i've been meaning to grab a blazer and the black fleece joint been on my wish list. About $900 of merchandise for $350. I cant complain.

you need to just go somewhere like Macy's..

I like skinny jeans personally, but you need the variety of Macy's

The only thing I'm buying is a nice, (but most importantly) comfortable pair of black oxfords. I'll probably get a pair from Cole Haan next payday ( :patrice: maybe the next two paydays since carnival is next week and some people are flying down).

Anyone can recommend some good polos beside RL? Thanks

Bear in mind, if I'm wearing a polo, I have a solid only policy.

Aside from Ralph Lauren I mainly wear polos from:

Brooks Brothers

J. Press

Lacoste

J. McLaughlin

Gant

Izod

The Andover Shop

J. Crew

Well, when the weather breaks... it'll be time for more outdoor brunches on the weekend or day parties. Feeling these looks

Suit jacket with running sneakers or Stan Smiths. I think every dude should own a pair of Stan Smiths
