You find luxury outlet malls or areas that cater to upper class customers.

Back home we have a place called Market Street and it has a Brooks Brothers, Allen Edmonds, J Crew (lel), Vineyard Vines etc.

So basically where ever there are rich people, there will be similar shops near-by.

>>8442947
lel, the brands reddit always recommends. Are they even good?

>>8442973
define good. if you mean quality yeah they are good.

>>8442973

Brooks Brothers is actually pretty good for the material/price.

Their suits, which they are known for, actually are cut well and don't fit like mall tier clothes (aka boxy, fat).

I bought a Cambridge suit from them awhile ago which was $1k but they had a %30 off discount which was awesome. Plus they usually have an in-house master tailor who alters the suit to your fit.


Allen Edmonds are good for formal wear shoes. Again perfect for weddings and the office.

The other brands though, J Crew and the like suck pretty hard. They probably have about 6% of actually good stuff. The material for the price just doesn't match.

But that doesn't mean all of the is total shit. I found a nice pair of shorts there and it fills its purpose, but I wasn't expecting bespoke or anything like that.

>>8442713
How tall are these guys? Honestly, I feel like I can actually do this shit, it's just that I haven't really done the research. Is it really competitive for this kind of modeling?

J Crew is more of an entry brand.
Only have like 2 shirts and a pair of shorts from them. Love them shorts.

>>8443049
i want to know this too pls answer

>>8443049
uh, for runway most are 6'2. not taking into account ppl like hedi who take whoever they want off the street. ya its competitive. for editorial its more like 6'0 to 6'4 (yea google says 5'10 or 5'11 but fuck you) for corporate height doesnt rly matter.

>>8443580
>mfw 6'2" and similar facial structure to those guys

Fuck yeah, maybe I'm going to try this shit.

>>8443588
just google sum agencies in ur area or an area u want to wrk in. Their website should tell u the pictures u need 2 take. Also u need ur measurements from a tailor. go to multiple ones. gl bruh

>>8443597
thanks. I need to lose some weight first though, I'm a bit skinnyfat, can't tell in clothes but shirtless I get embarrassed.

>>8443603
you dont have to have a perfect body for introductory meeting, but it helps.

>>8442713
>you will never get raped by a gang of male models
>they will never ridicule you for being balding and under 6'2 while doing so

>>8443610
So what, I walk in and they kinda say "yeah you can do this but first make sure you lose weight, take care of your skin, etc etc" and then i come back when i meet those requirements and work?

>>8443619
>tfw i can take them all on 10vs1 rust qs no radar

>>8443623

Don't call, we will call you.

>>8443623
usually they'll just sign you if you're a guy. Then tell you to work out while they build your portfolio and you do some lower end work. if you were a girl they'll say that, tho, probably not in so nice terms.

tfw no model looks. not ever

>>8443629
LOL. is that rejection usually?

>>8443633
Cool beans nigga.

>>8443646
if they take pictures of you that means they're interested usually. depends on the agency tho. Ask when you can expect to hear back by

>>8442871
what a shit post

>>8442713
Haha, what european country do you live in where if you can't find high-quality garments? Pretty much all of them are designed in Europe and is cheaper there.

i know millionaire dudes that dress in vineyard vines in their casual fits all the time.
that said, it's still a douchebag brand. the guys who started it are ex-wall street traders or s/t. but essentially it all just looks like rebranded polo polo's and chubbies shorts

>>8442713
What do I tell a tailor if I want my suit to fit like the guy on the front right?

>>8442713
>How does one escape mall tier?

stop shopping at the mass

Hungary; plebs here consider Zara and Nike to be high end. There are designer stores in fashion streets, but then again these are brands where you pay for the label and the status symbol, not just the quality. They typically cater to consumer tourists.

>>8447648
what city?

>>8447661
Budapest

First learn how to recognize quality clothing (/fa/ can help you I'm sure).
Go to the fashion streets and look for smaller shops away from the big malls tourists go in. I'm sure you can find quality clothing that isn't big brands if you just look around the fashion streets more carefully.
The only way to find what suits you is to look for it or ask friends who dress well where they get their cloths.
Alternatively catch a train to Vienna, it's not far away and the ticket should be cheap. Check out the 7th district, Neubau. It's full of small boutiques that sell quality indie label clothing for relatively reasonable prices. The 1st district, where tourists shop is not much different than the big streets in Budapest though, but if you look around you can find what you want too.
Also don't be afraid to get basics from cheap chains, they do have some stuff witth reasonable quality if you just know what to look for.

Keep browsing the pics, kiddo. You don't want to be a model. Trust me.
