Default shopping spree

I'm not sure how into fashion you guys are, I just started getting into buying nice clothes now that I can go for more then a few months without destroying a shirt or pair of pants.

I just saw on the ben sherman website (good quality stuff, and pretty decnt as far as fashion is concerned) they are giving away $1000 buck worth of thier clothes. I know chances of actually winning this crap is slim to none, but I'm always optomistic about this stuff. here is the site.

Nice clothes makes a good man better. I like wearing a nice suit once n a while. I finally have a real job I can wear one to, and buy some.

yup they got some fresh gear at ben sherman...

yeah its killing me though, I cut and get all these new clothes, and look pretty dam good. Then i bulk and obviously cant wear them, then when i cut again, i'm still too big for them ... i'm spending a fortune on clothing.

Its also a great way to hang out with a girl i've just met. hey, i'm going clothes shopping wanna tag along .... and then it just rolls from there.

I like nice clothes but more casual since I have to wear a suite everyday.

Yeah that's not a bad site, my bro has bought many things from there.. he's into this whole british look. Word of warning though, many of the clothes are a very tight fit designed for that lanky model type build. It's kinda good cuz it'll make you look huge if you'e built, but it may not even fit. Nice clothes though.. a little pricey for me. I'm usually a jeans and t-shirt kinda guy but I do like to wear nice clothes now and then when I go out. I'm very picky about what I wear though and am often dissapointed with what I find in stores, mostly the fit is important to me, I like stuff that's a little more cut but so often it seems all the stores carry these totally unflattering huge shirts that have a midsection as wide as the shoulders hehe. I guess that's because most people are either fat or young guys who enjoy wearing clothes that dont' fit. Usually designer stores will have much better fitting clothes.. but just too damn pricey for me.

To help with clothes shopping, I recommend going and getting your colors and seasons done to figure out what colors look good on you. It can cut your shopping time in half by eliminating clothes/colors that won't look good on you and keep you from having to try it on and wasting time.

Also go to a clothes shop to get your measurements done so you can pick the correct size to try on or buy without trying on.

By having those things done, it will also help for buying clothes online.

Those are some excellent points GD! It just sucks when you see something online, buy it, and when you get it the colors don't go with your skin tone!

One good thing I recommend is once you get clothes take them to get them custom fitted to your physique. There's nothing like having clothes show off your physique that you work so hard to get!

I even have clothes for winter bulking, as I need a little more room around the midsection at those times. And my spring/summer cutting clothes fit perfectly and show off, what I want to show off!

My daughter is excellent in picking out things for me. She will show me something and say Dad get this. I will say that looks ugly but I end up getting it. Then I wear it to the office and everone is complementing me. So obvisiouly her taste is far better than mine. Now I use her for my consultant.
