I get all my t-shirts from threadless.com or free through work. I get all my undies and socks somewhere cheap (k-mart, paddys market). I buy a new pair of jeans once a year or so and a couple of pairs of shorts at the start of summer, from wherever happens to be nearby at the time. And thats pretty much me done

I find the clothes here wash very poorly, even with our new machine! So for the moment (and possibly forever) I shop online.

PS Next are now accepting returns in Sydney so if you buy something and don't like it, you no longer have to pay for P&P back to the UK. Rah!
I never got on with Next stuff, never fitted properly, M&S is OK, some skirts come up a bit smaller but once you know the sizing its fine.

Myer, David Jones and Target (for underwear).
Have also used 'Ezibuy' for womens clothing. Some of it has been really good and some not good at all - a bit like the shops really.

Default Re: Where do you buy your clothes from?

I brought 46 kg of clothing back from Canada & the US when I was over in May. Most of it was bought at Sears & The Bay in Canada and at Nordstrom, Macy's and JC Penney in the US. Although I did get a few really good deals at Marshall's - coloured jeans for $7 pair.

Just to piss me off, though, I bought $1500 worth of stuff and all the bottoms are too big on me now. Looks like I'm going to need another trip somewhere for a big shop.

Here I shop mostly at Meyer or DJ's. Undies I get my sister to buy me from WalMart & she mails them over, bras I buy from A Cup Above in Joondalup (wonderful if you're "blessed").

Can't you send them to your sister and get her to return them?

She's coming over in November so I'll send them all back with her. Likely they'll fit her anyway.

Boden. I order twice a year as I adore the clothes and they suit my style.When I wear a Boden dress people always ask where it came from and say `BET THATS NOT FROM HERE`!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I also do a big M&S shop once a year or s for undies, pjs etc for whole family.

New pair of jeans every year, your extravagant for a bloke

Country Road has some nice stuff, got some nice cut shirts for work from there.

Usually get most of my stuff from Myers, also update my summer stuff each year also. Summer clothes never seem to last as long before looking scruffy.
