SSENSE has a flagship in old mtl (with a whole topman/topshop section)
Reborn is in old mtl gothninja shoppin all day
Pretty much all old port has cool boutiques
The Bay on Ste-Catherine has Topman, J Brand, and some middle tier brands + one of the only 3 locations in Canada that sells Margiela perfumes. Good perfume selection and if your gf wants a Chanel or Dior makeover here is the place
Ste-Catherine has pretty cool places, alongside shit (Louis Vuitton Boutique, Ogilvy selling cool menswear and womenswear, also not fashion but we have one of the coolest Apple stores in the world imo)
A Holt Renfrew, when you don't have the time to go to Barneys or Saks
A Harry Rosen, for your menswear needs (nice selection of Prada footwear and Tom Ford perfume)
Tons of cool thrift shops on the Plateau, Mile-End, etc.+ cool boutiques from mtl designers (Denis Gagnon selling simili-gothninja for example, but I'm skipping over a ton)
In Westmount, boutiques everywhere sell rich old lady clothes (Hermes, Chanel, Dior, etc.)
plus various other boutiques there that sell Acne and other contemporary brands and a James Perse boutique (yay tee shirts) on Sherbrooke in Wstmnt
Tons of American Apparels because the founder is from here and a AA warehouse where shit is usually 90% off
Cool edgy hair salons that don't fuck up weird requests
Cool restaurants
Cool subway
Edgy politics
Most educated people speak 2 languages
Top 20 worldwide University

mtl is best

I know what you mean, man. /fa/ and styleforum have really messed up my perception of how much things usually cost. It's been literally a year since I bought shoes that cost less than $700 per pair, and that's when I bought converse and vans for the summer.

It doesn't even change much when you go to college. Ray-ban sunglasses become way more common, but they're still considered super nice. Any shoes that aren't sneakers are "nice," and a Barbour jacket is the fucking holy grail of girls all across campus.

Of course I'm always autistic and end up saying something like "yeah well I guess I just live my life on a different level," but I've gotten to the point that my friends presume that all of my shit is really expensive, when really it's just a few pieces.

Also

Serious question: Do you just settle? I have literally the nicest shit on campus, by a hilarious margin, and I don't know if I should keep looking for a girl who actually knows how to dress, or to just settle and mess around with a more "normal" girl.

to put it bluntly, for now, yeah.

and honestly, the only way to remedy and get over it is to no longer allow 'high-fashion' or your 'taste' to cloud your judgement of another individual. different people have different priorities.

some of the richest guys i know don't give a fuck what they're dressed in but drive fuckin lambos. no joke.

fashion can't be your only hobby. i'm sure there's a girl out there that's so great that her lack of mto or highend boutique clothing won't even phase you.

keep lookin', but actually get to know a girl before you dismiss her.

In my case, I settled. . . but the girl I'm dating is more of a traveler / international type. She looks like an employee of Conde Nast, so she is dressed like a "refined hippy". I wouldn't call her "normal", and she isn't a basic level bitch. Of the both of us, I'm definitely better dressed.

But anyways, there is a point where you can be too intimidating for some women. It depends on the environment you're in. If you are surrounded by a shitton of Midwestern in desert boots and Northface jackets, you will easily be the most stylish lad on campus. And I don't think women know how to handle a person who is better (or more uniquely) dressed than most people on campus.

Note: I don't know if I'm making sense, because I've had a few whiskeys too many. Insomnia fucking sucks.

Makes sense. Clothing isn't my only hobby, but it's definitely my favorite. And obviously most people don't care about it, but I can't help but check out everyone's fits in hopes of finding something nice. Thanks for the advice, mate.

>>6050358
/fit/ has forced me to be a basic bitch in terms of shirts and pants because I literally burst out of my clothes every few months. Shoe/accessory game is getting on point, though.

Actually you're making perfect sense, mate. I haven't worn DBs in ages, but I wear shit like dress boots every day. Can't remember the last time I wore sneakers if not going to the gym.

I'm on a college campus where almost everyone is in chino shorts and boat shoes. Bow ties here and there, but it all boils down to nobody having the pocket money to throw down on nice clothes, so I end up wearing fits that cost like 10x what other people are wearing.

>there is a point where you can be too intimidating for some women
>I don't think women know how to handle a person who is better (or more uniquely) dressed than most

Okay, I thought of something like this a while back, but decided that it was my narcissism getting to me. Is there really a chance that girls could be intimidated by someone due to clothes? They're obviously not the only thing I have going for me, but even I had to pull back when I started to consider that I was scaring people away.

It DOES kind of make sense, if you think about it. Girls are so used to being the "nice" looking ones in relationships, so wouldn't it follow that they would freak out if a guy outdressed them every day? Dressing nice could be a quality that attracts girls, but can you take it "too far" (in the sense of looking too good, rather than trying too hard and not dressing for your environment)?

Interesting idea. I go to a relatively wealthy school on the east coast, but the majority of people go with the 'normalcore' chinos and boat shoes look (granted, probably better fitted than the regular populace). But every now and then, I'll see a guy wearing Rick or Thom and pulling it off quite well.

It's not so much intimidating as it is nice deviation from the norm, I guess. I don't really think there is a thing as 'too /fa/' until you just start to look comical.

Think of it as "levels". If people are wearing first level, I'm gonna wear second level. It doesn't hurt to be a step up from other people.

Now if you were truly nxtlvl and started wearing, like Raf Simons / Rick Owens/ Damir Dorna / etc etc. around a bunch of pleb college students you would be a total ass.

Whatever . . . like I said, it all depends on your environment. Take, for instance, my pleb university (University of Kansas). If you wore raf and rick, you would look like a total ass. Your style would be too nxtlvl for the farmers' daughters. You would scare away the WASP community.
Now, if you went to a totally cool university, like in NY I don't think you would stick out. I think people would dig your outfit.

I wouldn't say that I'm insecure about the guy I'm seeing dressing better than me, but moreso about my fellow girlfriends finding out how much I actually spend on clothes. Granted, I love the wardrobe I have built so far, but I don't really discuss clothes with people since it's hard for people to understand why I would blow 4 months of savings on a Jil coat, especially when some of my friends need a lot of financial aid, one of whom is almost on the verge of getting kicked out due to not being able to pay the bills.

Current guy I'm seeing wear a weird mix of Tom Ford and Club Monaco. I don't really care.

Being well dressed makes you more approachable. I think. Then again, there is a fine line between being approachable and being nxtlvl. AND yet again, we should only consider this opinion on a case-by-case basis.

>>6050607
Oh, I totally agree that clothes are a great conversation starter. Especially as someone who at a glance seems to care about them somewhat, it's really easy to start talking to girls about their outfits; once they realize that you're not some chump just looking for an opener, they're usually really happy to chat.

But it seems to me that most girls are too passive to make the first "move," even if they only intend to say that your fit is nice. They always need some opener, like being introduced to you through a mutual friend. Just a few weeks ago I told a girl that I liked her daily fits, and she immediately rattled off three or four compliments directed at me. It was nice, but at the same time made me think "If you had that shit up there just ready to tell me, why didn't you just walk up and say so?"

>>6050609

I mean, I obviously socialize with people who just wear jeans and hoodies; if I didn't, I would have basically no friends.

But, to an extent, yeah. My desire to socialize with people is definitely affected by their outfits. Just a few days ago I chatted with a fairly cute girl whom I know through some friends while she was in a nice dress, and the next day I saw her in sweats and immediately thought "well that's that."

It just feels unfair that some people are inconsistent with their fits, even if they look nice sometimes. I know that my baseline is pretty good, and I don't know how I'd deal with someone who wore something cute one day, and gym shorts another day.

Wowwowowoah . . .

Chill out, brah.

I'll admit points A and B are very valid, but some of the "hows da fit" posts are often and unnecessary, I feel. A lot of fit information can be found on retailing websites. All you need to do is find the proper link or read some reviews.

A: It is nice to get things on discount online.

B: If I wanted to buy a nice leather jacket . . . like from Acne or something, I would buy it from a store. I would like to feel the quality of the material, inspect the quality of the stitching, etc. And then, of course, I would check out the fit. I have a near-stupid tendency to over-inspect every fucking detail of my clothes.

Of course, an Acne leather jacket would be hard to find in my plebby fly-over state. Fortunately, I do travel a lot, and I do visit more stylish cities. I always make it a point to visit a store that stocks whatever item in question.

Yeah man. I don't even think everyone has to look fantastic all the time (although that would be nice), but I just don't see an excuse to wear sweats: Jeans are just as easy to pull on. Wouldn't it bother you that you consistently look good if your girlfriend looks like hell half the time?

And another thing (which I know you didn't mention, but which I want to bring up) is cost. A lot of people say that money prohibits them from looking nice, but have you ever been to Forever 21? I just went there for the first time a few months ago, and while it obviously wasn't really nice stuff, a lot of the pieces there were cute and outrageously cheap. Pretty much any dress or top+bottom combo maxed out at like $40. I can't speak for your environment, but my school is full of a lot of kids who are at the very least "comfortable" as far as money goes, so what excuse could there possibly be for not looking decent when the cost isn't even that prohibitive?

Yeah man, they're my second pair of bal boots (first was the brown calf/suede pair I posted above), and I love the style, the color, and the smell/feel/look of cordovan, which is a pretty new experience for me. They're surprisingly easy to dress down, which is great; I just wear mine with cuffed chinos and a t-shirt to class or whatever.

I don't know if you'd be interested in a textured leather, but I have a deposit put down for pic related. Same brand and boot style/shape, but scotch grain calfskin with a Dainite sole. They'll run about $675 and will come with pretty nice shoe trees (not the basic cedar kind).

If that interests you, keep an eye out here http://www.styleforum.net/t/277505 or just leave me your email address and I'll let you know when the pre-orders start (I just got my order in early). If not, no worries.

>. . . so what excuse could there possibly be for not looking decent when the cost isn't even that prohibitive?
If there is such an excuse, it will come from someone who doesn't even give two shits. Another thing to point out is that people think that dressing well is "too hard", that looking good requires "effort".

I don't think that's true.

Take my opinion with a grain of salt, but once you've "mastered" the basics of clothing you'll end up looking good no matter what. Take a look around some towns, malls, campuses, wherever . . . a vast majority of people can't even conjure up a basic outfit. They end up looking mediocre, as described in:
>>6050584
>>6050549
>>6050554

Most of my wardrobe is comprised of basics, they aren't too flashy or fancy, but it's not offensive either. I could blindly reach into the closet and come out with a nice looking outfit. Of course, color and fit are taken into consideration.

This is going to sound pretty neckbearded, but

Many girls are intimidated by anything they don't expect to outdo them.
Men have the stereotype of being dumb slobs that only care about beer and football - so when a well dressed guy who's into [insert fashion designer here] comes around they don't know what to do

Agreed on all counts. Especially since I've been outgrowing my clothes so often, I'm usually just dressed in chinos and a tee, but the fit is on point and my modest but still decent collection of shoes and boots allows me to always put something nice on my feet without wearing the same pair too often. Toss in some accessories that can be worn regularly (sunglasses, scarves/gloves if it's cold, a watch) and you can look phenomenal with almost no effort, just like you said.

I'm actually really excited to be getting a watch from France within the next week or so, because I've been lusting after it for months, and know that it'll make my outfit just that much nicer every day, and will only require a few seconds to put on in the morning.

People just don't want to try, because then they'll have to admit that they fail from time to time. I was a disaster when I started: skinny jeans, pieces that fit terribly, graphic tees, a nyan cat scarf, etc. For over a year I looked like hell, but I got through it and can absolutely and honestly say that I'm better off for it.

>>6050959
I'm pretty sure those are the exact same boots as the ones I posted: Same lining and everything. That's completely possible, since they already did one run of these boots that got delivered a few months ago. Check out the thread I posted and see what you think. If you ended up considering them, you'd only have to come up with $350 for the deposit, and the remainder would be paid 3-4 months later, so that could be a bit easier on your wallet. Either way, good luck; bal boots are a really cool style that I've literally never seen besides on the internet and on my feet, so you'll be sure to be unique in a really nice, subtle way.

No omg stop thinking this. Girls aren't intimidated because they want to be the better dressed ones. If this is your conclusion for why you don have a girlfriend you need to rethink shit. Maybe you're a pretentious asshole. That makes you unattractive.

Not that guy, but who said that's why he doesn't have a girlfriend? It's possible that it's just one factor out of a whole bunch of issues.

And the point we're dancing around isn't "girls want to be the better dressed ones" but rather "girls are so used to being the more attractive ones in a relationship, and upsetting that status could freak them out."

Especially at a young age, girls are used to being in charge. They usually rule the relationship, because they're a "catch" while the guy is just some chump who is easily replaceable. But a guy who's genuinely interesting/attractive/stylish upsets that norm; now the girl is dealing with someone who ISN'T replaceable, and she knows it.

you couldn't be more wrong
"especially at a young age" girls are taught they must function within a society where they are only valuable as sexual objects and childbearers. they are given no power or ability to be "in charge" of their own

Carmina is the cheapest reputable company I've found that makes bal boots, but I honestly haven't looked too hard because I like their quality/price value. You might want to check out the SF bal boot thread here: http://www.styleforum.net/t/37559

Specifically look into Alfred Sargent, Meermin, and Rider. AS and Rider should be around the cost of Carmina (maybe higher, maybe lower, but I'm not sure), but Meermin is definitely cheaper but definitely has cheaper materials/construction.

I was operating under the assumption that we were talking about attractive girls; I don't know why we would even bother discussing them otherwise.

>>6051121
How so? I don't necessarily think girls are better off, because their typically passive nature often limits their dating pool to whichever guys approach them (and that doesn't mean that those guys are the guys they like). On the other hand, guys are the ones being judged/evaluated when they walk up to girls.
