Brands / shirts, shoes, trousers

Is it a bit weird to ask about this? As I've got older, I seem to have really narrowed the sort of things I wear. I've just bought a new pair of chinos and a t-shirt from Sunspel - a bit expensive, but I've yet to find another brand that uses such high-quality cotton (at least to my touch!). As I was putting them away, it occurred to me that the main brands I wear are Sunspel and R M Williams for trousers and jeans; Gant, R M Williams and Ted Baker shirts, and Loake and R M Williams shoes / boots. I don't need to wear a suit very often, so have a couple, a Jaeger and Magee.

What about you guys? Stick to particular brands for work / off duty?

Like I said, if this is a bit weird (girly) slam away

Unfortunately have to wear a suit to work every day...So basically, Brooks Brothers and Jos A Banks for suits, shirts, ties...Allen Edmonds for shoes... Lucky and J Crew for jeans, khakis...Under Armour for gym stuff...

Now that I am retired, my wardrobe is pretty similar to my 7 year old. Lots of camo shorts and surf company t shirts.

Well for work, I just wear scrubs.

Not sure if I have a theme in my wardrobe, but seems like a lot of Patagonia, Levi's, Filson, Olaki...and T shirts that make my kids laugh like muppets and minions

For work I get a lot of Charles Thyrwitt (sp?) dress shirts, which are a great deal when they do the package deals for 4 for $160 or so. They're not worth the full price, though.

Also a big fan of Uniqlo for basics, nice quality for the price and not trendy. J.Crew and t-shirts for casual.

I am a denim snob, however...

Epaulet in NYC for casual, though they do made to order shirts, etc.

Haggar pants/Docker shirts/Rossi boots for work. For chilling it is Wrangler Jeans/Vans (checkers usually) slides or flipflops/random t-shirts. Oh and Kaenon's every time I go outside

Haha...I'm a mess. Cargo shorts of various brands, tommy bahama shirts, flips (one of my 45 pairs of either Olukai or Chaco), Hinano Tahiti t-shirts due to a warehouse sale where I picked up about 50 of 'em, and Orvis or Filson flannels/long sleaves. Suits and sport coats are mostly hickey freeman.

Unless I need to wear a suit that day (and in the new firm I seldom have to), docker pants and shirts from JCPenney/Macy's (Stafford, Van Heusen, etc.). I've been planning on trying Brooks Brothers and Jos A Banks for suits and shirts... but have been throwing money to watches, bicycles and guns

On the weekend? Jeans from Gap/Banana Republic, polo shirts from Polo/Nautica/5.11... and shorts from dockers or 5.11. Oh and button down, short sleeve shirts from whatever brand I like (remember, I live in the Caribbean).

Gym clothes? Whatever I find on Marshalls on sale (Nike/Adidas/Underarmor).

I've also wanted to try better shoes for work... usually wear Bostonian or Florsheim shoes and have to replace them almost yearly.

Levi's, Eddie Bauer, Red Wing, Ecco, Vans, and aloha shirts in warm weather. Suits when necessary. Pants always optional.

I used to be a Levi guy but a buddy that's way more stylish than I turned me onto Lee "Modern" collection Jeans of all things. Man I love them. Look great and super comfortable. Way more than any jeans I've ever owned. I usually buy the Darko or Cobra variations/colors. I wear them with a blazer/jacket a lot . Who knew Lee jeans of all brands, never gave them a look in the past.

Dress: Di Bianco shoes, Hideoki trousers, shirts and suit.

Casual: Vans shoes, surf shirts, lululemon (don't laugh. Their shorts and gym clothes are the best).

"Way stylish"...who did know? Lee is having a sale on their "modern" curvy hip and ass, stretchy fabric, models. They are under $30, stock up.

Option 1 is Levi jeans and no specific brand of shirts. I pick them up as I go. I need to buy better quality shirts, though. Brice's pics make my shirt cuffs ashamed.
Option 2 is Carhartt flame resistant jeans / long-sleeve polos. Tools of the trade in refining business.
