Help me buy something other than Banana Republic 😬
Down to try anything as long as each piece issn't more than $200 or so. I really like how BR's clothes fit me, I'm short and skinny. Tried Bonobos polos and chinos a bit ago. The construction seemed worse than BR's non-factory line. The polos were 1-2 inches longer for their size and were very boxy on me, and the slim chinos were very puffy on me through the thighs. I typically wear slim fit S or regular fit XS shirts, and 29/30 slim fit pants.

why do you feel the need to branch out if it fits you, hits your price point, and you like the clothes?
Uniqlo, peter manning, ash and erie
How tall are you?
What your style mostly consist of?
Because there's a limited number of their styles that I would wear, and I'd like to have a wider variety of styles and colors.
It's easier to reccomend stuff if you have a little more direction, what are some things youre interested, some styles you like but haven't tried yet, pieces you're after etc
5'5. Honestly I usually wear polos, chinos, and jeans during the summer. Occasionally I'll wear shorts as well but I don't go to far from that during the warmer months.
Do you do Uniqlo? At least they have variety
I'm trying to replace a lot of older or lower quality clothes with some pieces that I can keep for longer. I've been looking at some of the Kent Wang stuff, but they're sold out pretty often. I like some of the Tood Snyder styles I've seen.
I sorta wear whatever during summer
I mostly buy for falls
I've had some of their stuff before. Pants never fit me well, shirts were okay but I'd rather buy something a little more premium.
I have better clothes for winter, apart from pants. Plus I live in the southern US and it will be in the 80s until October.
Spier and mackay is the easy rec
Black ficus for more casual
Vintage is good for getting higher quality for not that much money if you know what you’re looking for
At your height, and fit
If u wanna venture out i prob seek japanese brands
Beams plus 🤔
The only issue is pricing pretty high state side. There is a lot of sale going on though, on endclothing, or stockists. You can also proxy from japan as they have typical 70% sale sometimes
Look through nomanwalksalone and just see what you like
How is the quality for Spier and Mackay? As far as the chinos I'm looking for something more on the casual side

Here’s the brand thread, I think quality for price is quite high
