Can we have a Britfag thread?

I feel as if American fashion on here is so distant from ours yet at the same time so similar.

Anyway where do you guys get your clothes?
Aside from getting basics I've found myself using less and less highstreet shite and just ordering stuff online.

Although I'm a pleb and boxing day's coming up and I want to know if you lot have any recommendations on where to go.
Just want a couple new pair of jeans and maybe some sweaters but I don't want to be too plebby and shop in river island/topman anymore.

>> No.9236025

I find myself getting most of my stuff in Zara and Pull&Bear if I'm out shopping, never liked the look of the stuff in RI and TM.

Other than that it's ASOS for basics and sales, if you're looking for jeans there's quite a few pairs of Nudies on like 50% sale

I got sort of indoctrinated by /fa/ and only copped expensive, "high quality" stuff by respected brands for a bit. Pretty stupid as a student living off loans.

I've realised now that literally nobody IRL (at least in the UK) gives two fucks about the brands you wear or your marginally better quality items and that cheaper clothes don't literally fall off you ask you walk, so now I just shop everywhere again and buy whatever I think looks nice.

Maybe I'll buy designer again if I'm ever earning good money.

See the chelsea boots thread. Some people are laughing because they are "feminine" and worn by "Ramones wannabes".

Here there's no stigma around them and they're absolutely acceptable to wear. I see similar shit like this all the time on /fa/, people mocking things that are fine

I live in Bath

normally shop at Reiss/allsaints/zara/COS. got a few high end pieces from burberry/saint laurent/mcqueen as well.

i avoid topman/river island/hnm/pull&bear like the plague. literally nothing interesting in any of them. plus if you do get that new season stand out piece, chances are so do half of your city.

i do like UO though, they always have a sale on so can get some nice cops if you wait around long enough.

the clothes i actually wear on a daily basis are basically uniqlo or our legacy atm, with a few jumpers and whatnot from other places chucked in. Also i have loads of different shoes so that makes stuff less boring.

I buy a mixture of stuff, basics from Uniqlo and Top Man, and various bits and pieces from more premium brands. But I really think I should just buy my basics from Uniqlo from now on. So much poor build quality.

Their dress shirts seem to hold up ok, and their tees are nice and cheap for undershirts (they collapse anyway, so it doesn't matter), but everything is so shit otherwise.

I've dated only two guys - one was dressed sort of edgy and it suited him because he was really into music. The other dressed preppy because he was very upper middle/upperclass and that's was brought up.

Dress how you like and someone's going to like you, even if it's a guy dressed shitty if he was cool and cute - I would date him regardless and so would many girls.

I get my basics at uniqlo and COS, occasionally hit up muji or UO for other basic stuff too.
other than that, I scour ebay for brands I like and know fit me (albam, ymc, folk, our legacy, universal works etc) and then wait for sales at sites like END and oi polloi.
I probably buy stuff from h&m like twice a year, usually when I need some cheap underwear and I don't want to pay uniqlo shipping prices.

A*AA, on a gap yah

I know my modernists yeah (spent a whole interview at Oxford talking about Woolf), more interested in 17th century stuff though - Metaphysicals, Milton, Shakespeare etc

/lit/ is generally awful. I occasionally join a philosophy thread but I've found the posters there are impossible to debate with reasonably. Somebody says something bloody stupid, I ask them why they said it/highlight criticisms and logical errors/put forward my own views and why I hold them - then the poster buggers off or goes *le fedora. At least when you're debating someone IRL you can have fun with it

Why do you ask?

Because it's pretty simple stuff, just look at the material, feel it, check if the stitching is shoddy and whether or not it's generally just shit quality.
The amount of people who come in wanting to return boss/ralph stuff because the colour's came out in the wash or the stitching has frayed is ridiculous.

but yeah, it's generally quite a fun thing to be a part of. what kinda stuff do you like to do? my idea of a good night is banging dizz in fabric, but i know some of the lads prefer to just chill at the pub and drink or go to house parties and stuff. it is quite drugs/alcohol heavy, but then again, that's kinda the norm in london
