Wardrobe upgrade.
Discussion
Hi guys,
I'm looking for a decent website or sites to get some good quality slightly smarter clothes.
I predominantly wear t-shirts and jeans as I tend to do a fair bit of lifting and moving of stock around our shop.
However I would like to get some decent shirts and trousers for meetings, going out, stuff like that.
I would love to shop in person, but I just don't get the time.

Whats the deal when you sign up? Do you see what they are sending you before they send it? Once signed up, are you obliged to buy (and return if need be)soad said:

Both do multi-buy offers on shirts. Worth a look.

E-bay. Dirt cheap with enough looking. Just go for places with great feedback and 14 day returns in case it doesn't fit / look as good as you thought when it comes.
Nice fitted black t-shirt and Diesel Jeans paired with a really nice leather jacket is what I got off e-bay for my last date.
Saved tons but was waiting 4/5 days for the lot to turn up.
If you don't mind going for second hand then there are some insane savings to be had from people who've worn an item twice. f
k paying £350+ on a All Saints jacket when you can get a virtually new one for £60.

You talking about Ccharles Tyrwhitt http://www.ctshirts.co.uk/.
They do have a large selection of weekend shirts along with polo's, rugby shirts etc and casual trousers and shoes
Shoes.... Barker, Church and Loake.
Learn how to take care of them. Properly. They will give you many years of service.
Never wear the same pair 2 days running.
Shirts - Double cuff. Get made to measure. ( Not that expensive) Nothing worse than seeing ill fitting shirts.
Ties. Silk. End of.
Suits - Unless good quality hard wearing stuff fits you off the peg... get good quality hard wearing suits altered by a professional. ( who measures when you are wearing it ).
Top tip.. if the buttons on the sleeves of the suit are sown in.... it has been made to a cost.
If you are loaded.... plenty of tailors willing to do bespoke.
(Understand the difference of bespoke and made to measure
)
Belts. Again good quality... Always matches the colour of the shoes.
You really can spend a lot on your wardrobe.
But.. chose good quality items - with colours that won't date quickly - and complement you.
Get items that can be easily mixed and matched.
And take care of them.
When you get in the house.... get into your T shirt and baggies or whatever.
Clothes today - are generally made to last a long time - if you take care of them.
Watch.... Appropriate for the image you wish to convey about yourself.
But before you start... ask about 10 very good ( not chavs) fashion conscious females about what colour suits you.
There is a bit of an art to this.... but what looks good on person A... looks crap on person B. Even if they are the same physique. Comes down to skin tone etc etc
It sounds very flouncy.... but it works... and there is no point in spending money on clothes that you look terrible in.
High profile CEO's, CFO's etc.... have all had some kind of "Colour me beautiful" type consultations.

I used them recently for the first order of clothes I have done online, 4 shirts for £100 I think it was. I am seriously impressed with not only the fit and quality of the clothes, but the service was exceptional. I will be ordering a lot more from them, and they are better than some shirts I own that were considerably more expensive than £25 a go!
