No retailer can beat uniqlo when it comes to latest men's wear in terms of variety, fashionable, fitting and free alteration services. Price is reasonable.

Guest Guest Scye Posted August 12, 2019 Report Share Posted August 12, 2019 I buy when I’m overseas and sometimes locally eg Colony Clothing. While you can potentially compile a list of shops to go to from this thread, my advice is to dedicate time to style clothes from other labels with your Uniqlo purchases so it’s harder to end up with the same outfit as your colleagues. You’ll also get to wear your old purchases in new ways and stretch your investment. I imagine you should have clothes from other labels prior to your shopping spree at Uniqlo.

benedict5856 Posted August 12, 2019 Report Share Posted August 12, 2019 Local Shopping mall. But i avoid mass production clothes, except a few for casual wear. No online purchase as need to ensure it fits me. I only had 1 uniqlo, the monopoly design. I bought it bcas my whole body is sweaty. So bought one at the mall, change at the toilet. Till now, only worn it once, which is that day. Personally, i find it embarrassing to wear same clothes with another person.

Steve5380 Posted August 15, 2019 Report Share Posted August 15, 2019 I haven't bought a single piece of clothing in the last two years. My latest work clothes for the office, collections of ties and belts, have been still in my closet for years. Thank you retirement, thank you good body that refuses to build an old man's tummy I wear casual clothes that are like 20 years old, and they still look good!

Are the people you work with so frivolous? Women should be the ones to care about variety, men don't need to. And if variety is important, that's why we use a tie that can be different every day of the week. What do your colleagues think seeing you drive the same car every day of the week?

As long as you can afford it easily you should dress well to impress. Every little bit helps to stay ahead.

FattChoy Posted August 20, 2019 Report Share Posted August 20, 2019 I find very few shops providing muscle cut shirts, other than the likes of Nike, Uniqlo. I also don't like buying cotton shirts as they don't hug the shape of the body and require ironing. Most of them cotton ones look very unshapely lines and plain, which are good for uncles. As for some people who recommend to buy from HK and other countries etc, it's good to realise that their shirts are mostly thicker and unsuitable for equitorial weather. Who in their right mind wanna spend 800-1000 HKD for a (thick) shirt? https://info.lululemon.com.hk/features/our-gear/made-to-move Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe you can buy enough shirts and pants that you don't need to repeat any of them for two weeks (or possibly three weeks if you want to buy that many). About three years ago, I bought 10 pairs of pants in different colors from Giordano, 10 dress shirts in different colors from MyCK, and 10 tee-shirts in different colors from Giant, which means I never end up wearing any of those items to work more than twice a month. I also never wear my work clothes away from official functions, since I have a couple of older shirts and pairs of pants for that, and I tend to stick with a set of tighter tee-shirts for non-formal events. Then on the occasions when I need to attend really important conferences or meetings, I have three different suits to select from, while mixing and matching the dress shirts as needed (plus around 10 neckties to finish up with).

doncoin Posted September 3, 2019 Report Share Posted September 3, 2019 I think it is always good to invest in work clothes. If you want to play the part, you have to look the part. A decent suit is always a great investment. I recently discovered this online brand who opened up their first physical store, Rhone. While the focused more on athletic wear, they have started a line of "business" casual clothes that are really amazing. I got a pair of their slim commuter pants and I wore them on a flight from NYC to Miami a couple weeks ago. They used a stretchy fabric more commonly used in athletic wear and surprisingly pretty wrinkle resistant. Also they have a line of work shirts now with the same stretchy fabric. but not sure how they will work in more humid weather. The stuff is similarly priced like lululemon, but they make in smaller batches so they sell out fast. Quote Love. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest best quality Posted September 4, 2019 Report Share Posted September 4, 2019 I don't buy but just take what I find useful from the charity bags. Mostly at the rich people area I can find Versace leggings, Gucci ties and plenty of brands more.

Summerbitch Posted September 5, 2019 Report Share Posted September 5, 2019 All my shorts (sleep and go out) I bought in bkk.. T shirt for sleeping also bought in bkk. Usually my jeans and shirts are all bought from asos. Underwear need to go to department stores (isetan have better underwear brands) to purchase directly. Running apparel usually from nike/h&m. Shoes nowadays only Nike. Once a while I will buy stuffs from taobao but usually will throw them out within 2months, so really not worth it.

From the other hand, it can be interpreted in the way that there are so many places that you don’t know where you will find the best clothing for the most reasonable price. That being said, it depends on what you are looking for. If you want casual and not expensive, places like H&M, Zara, if you want classy and expensive, you can go to Ives Saint Laurent or Louis. My option is something between those two. I choose not expensive, but classy and very good looking. As deemed so by whom? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
