11/16 What's a good place that carries "business casual" clothes for men?
I hate shopping so I prefer a one-stop shop. No internet stores
please. Thanks.
\_ Banana Republic. The Gap if you are a cheapskate.
\_ Macy's
\_ Ignore these fools are go to places like Nordstrom Rack, TJ
\_ Macy's is great. A step down is JC Penny.
\_ Ignore these fools and go to places like Nordstrom Rack, TJ
Maxx, Ross, and Marshall's for all but your nicest clothes.
You're throwing money away at Gap, BR, and such unless you buy
when they have massive sales. (Yes, I once bought shirts for $9
each at Macy's, but that was ONCE and I don't count on it.)
\_ Buy from the sales rack at BR. I routinely get nice dress
shirts for under $20 from it.
\_ If "under $20" is $19.99 then it's not cheap. You can
get Polo, Izod, and such shirts for $12-14.
\_ Where? Under $20 means exactly that. Sometimes $19,
but as low as $10 at times.
\_ If you are a bargain hunter and shopper, I agree, but OP
said he hated shopping and wanted one-stop. Macy's is
probably the best bet for one stop reasonable quality at
reasonable prices.
\_ There is nothing reasonable about Macy's prices. If you
want one-stop then go to Marshall's.
\_ Reasonable quality at reasonable prices is different
from reasonable prices. Sure you can get good prices
at Ross or Marshall's, but you are stuck with strange
colors and sizes and the selection/quality varies
all the time.
\_ I disagree, except the part about selection
varying. Of course, selection varies at Macy's
(or anywhere else) as well.
\_ Brooks Bros. if you want to spend a bit more--they have very
nice stuff. It really depends on what kind of body shape you
have. You can also sometimes pick up really nice slacks at
places like Ross & Marshall's. I recommend Ernesto's Tailoring
on the 5th floor of the Flood building (860 Market) in SF to get
off the rack stuff adjusted--it is a cheap way to get nicely
fitting clothes, and makes a huge difference. -John
\_ Hardly one stop.
\_ Hm, let's see, slacks, shirts, socks, sweaters, jackets,
hm, am I missing something, hm no. -John
\_ Shoes.
\_ Dude, go to a shoe store. Wait until Johnston & Murphy
have a sale or something if you don't want to spend the
money. If you absolutely must get EVERYTHING in one
place, prepare to either hope for luck finding your
stuff at Ross/Marshall's (which are fine for a lot of
things), to get ripped off by slimy salesmen at
Nordstrom's/Macy's, or spend a bit of money on good
quality, well-fitting clothes. If you don't want to
do the research on what to look for, and don't feel like
putting in some time shopping for a good deal, don't
expect to look good (although some people manage to pull
it off, by and large they've put some time and thought
into it.) -John
\_ John, you have an expensive taste. |
