is a f'cking nightmare.
Where do people buy their clothes nowadays?
Need more clothes desperately but can't seem to find anything, just.. normal.
I used to go to places like Route One.. But there's no way I'm paying £60~ for a sweatshirt / £100+ for a jacket.
And the more mainstream shops (Topman, All Saints, Republic, River Island, Burtons) stock shit.
These are good looks apparently:

60 for a sweatshirt & 100 for a jacket is pretty normal I thought.
asos is fairly good

Primark pwn in the T-shirt department. Also pretty good for a cheap pair of shoes.
They need to bring free spirit back, that place was awesome.
Wow, just went on the rupublic website an the male model is wearing two shirts over each other and muching on a pair of blue sunglasses. What a twat.

I use online shops mainly, tend to be cheaper but these
Armani jeans i brought were £130 on this site and like £160 in Selfridges, however they were too big :( and don't come in a smaller leg so I think I'm just gonna use shops from now on!

yeah it's apparently normal to dress like a nonce boy nowadays.
glasses with no lenses and dungarees are the norm, especially in leeds with all the faggot students lol.

Has anyone noticed on M&M the poor quality of items, as if they're seconds?
I bought a jacket & the buttom came off, I have two pairs of jeans both the buttons have came off aswel. I'm sure they use seconds to get the cheap prices, thing is I have bought other stuff and it has been 100% fine

You get what you pay for in most things you can buy
Primark is cheap but also crap
The quality of the fabric is bad and the stiching is even worse
£60 for a sweatshirt sounds about right for something decent
Decent and usually more expensive clothes tend to last longer than cheaper ones
Buy cheap = buy twice (or more)
I have a suit from topman which has barely lasted a year but my ted baker one is still going strong after 4 years.
I have some base london shoes which cost £110 and still look good after 3.5 years......my £30 topman shoes which I go to work in are falling apart after 6 months
Just my 2p

M&M are seconds dude.
I use John anothonys/Richmond classics mainly.
Dont mind the odd tshirt or tracksuit for the gym from JD/Footlocker.
Highstreet shops like topman and ricer island are full of skinny emo bellend's..

I have got a few things from MandM and its all been fine, but i can imagine it probably is seconds as alot of the stuff is crazy cheap.

I hate those trousers that only go to your ankles. How the hell is that a trend?
Few years ago if you looked like that you would get slapped about and bullied on a regular basis lol

Most of the stuff I get from a Paul Smith warehouse, quite lucky as a mate works for Paul Smith in Nottingham.. and gets about 6 VIP tickets to get discounted clothes for...
Got one coming up in 2 weeks, get £100+ paul smith jeans for £15, £130 + work trousers for £20 and white t's for £5
its fucking epic!!!

www.mainlinemenswear.co.uk
I always buy my jeans, polos, shirts, hats, shoes etc from here..my kinda stuff aswell Ted Baker, G-Star, Lyle & Scott, Evisu etc..some of the stuff is pricey (paid £90 for a cardigan lol) but the selection and choice is awesome & the delivery is lightening-quick!
Get on it matey ;)
