Favorite Places to Shop

#1

Since this section started, I just realized how much I don't know about you guys...

Where do you guys like to shop, what's your preferred dress style..? I don't really like shopping at all, but when I need gear, my first place to go is Banana Republic...I like Khaki's, nice Egyptian cotton shirts and good leather shoes...I go for a handsome, refined look...Kinda like a mix between going out to a club, I wouldn't be overdressed, but if I went to a nice place, I wouldn't be under dressed...

I also have a variety of windsuits and matching gear, mostly Nike and Adidas...That's my mostly everyday gear anyway, since I don't leave the house...

What about you chaps..?

Hmmmm for my soccer gear the only place I shop is at Rebel sports. Its like one of those big shops that has everything that is sporting.

For my normal day to day wear I shop at hallenstines ( their moto - its good to be a guy). Depending on the season i either get polo's jeans and surfing shorts as well as T's and long sleeve T's. My shoes are generally something close to sporting like I have the adidas superstars on.

I always have like a cool dress sense, I wont be overdressed anywhere either and nor underdressed.

At work I'm usually the most dressed up person in my office. We're "business casual" but I'm usually in dress pants, dress shirt, and semi-dress shoes. Fridays we dress down and can wear jeans, but I usually wear a dress shirt with them. I get most everything off the rack at Walmart, JC Penney or some such place. Got to watch the budget.

I shop at Banana too! I really like to shop at urban outfitters and american eagle. In the end, when it matters the most, I am a gym shorts and a white tee kind of guy. Whenever I'm at home, that's what I wear because it's comfortable and it's breezy "down there."

Gym shorts I usually get from Dick's, but there is one pair I found at JCrew which is 50 dollars and made of fleece. Great looking shorts and I think I'm going to go get a pair after my next paycheck.

Also, I have been debating about spending 300 dollars on a watch made by Zodiac. I first found the watch on Urban Outfitters (again I love them), and I am thinking, 300 dollars for a new watch or save it for a phone?

I am a chronic spender and a neglectful saver.

Shit man, I'd go for the phone, lol...I'm sure it tells time...

Nothing like a good watch tho, but I'd put one of those in the hands of the lady in my life, as she's sure to get something that she would find attractive, and probably won't be that expensive either...

I fan feel myself turning into a jeans n tee person, I just bought a single pair of jeans not too long ago, and I'd forgotten how comfy they were...

Ahh one of my favorite and most relaxing things to do....

Whenever I feel stressed out or depressed I hit up my favorite stores and boom i feel better than ever. Of course i'm a lot lighter in the pockets... but who can put a price on happiness... haha...

I love hitting up Holt Renfrew or some of the smaller shops like TNT and Due West up here in Toronto.

Some of my fav lines are: morphine generation, dsquared, alexander mcqueen, dries van noten, galliano.

Actually just yesterday I bought a leather Belstaff jacket. Didn't really need it but couldn't resist it. Plus it was on sale so that was a huge plus.

Man, deep down, I think guys really like shopping more than chicks, but I like to go and BUY shit, walking around looking just makes me loose my wood...

I like wearing a clean outfit, but adding a single piece that sets the outfit apart...Lately, I've been wearing a leather hat, its been doing the trick nicely...

#8

I'm the same way man... if i go to a shop there's a very high chance of me actually buying something... My girlfriend on the other hand can walk into store after store and go through every single piece of merchandise and not buy a damn thing and still be happy...

lol @ Dizzy... I'd go insane shopping with her, man. I've got zero patience for shopping. lol

I'm not really a shopper when it comes to clothes. Books and DVDs on the other hand... lol You can't keep me out of Chapters and HMV. Those are my stores. lol

But if on the odd chance I am buying clothes I usually go to Bluenotes, mainly because they have great t-shirts. lol

My typical dress is the same everyday. Jeans, a t-shirt, and one of my nice zip-up jackets. I have a brown one with red and white stripes down the arms, a grey and black one, and a nice white one from AE with a large crest on the back.

Dude, I can promise you, that's not just Dizzle's girl, that's EVERY fucking girl...Man, if I EVER meet a chick that don't like shopping, I'll fucking ask her for her autograph...Girls LOVE to shop...

However, I have recently been able to use this to my advantage...I likened my viewing of porn to her shopping, and somehow, it all made sense, lol...
