4388 Internet Shopping
Hey lads, I was wondering if you can give some tips on internet clothes shopping. I'm sick to death of the high street now and would like to take the plunge into something with a bit more selection without getting burnt.

The other place does recommend some sites that have been a help but I was wondering if you can recommend stores for the more rounded gentleman who looks good in the more rough-and-ready 20-something style as I've only found things that mostly cater to the 'urban' teen look.

I'm a 36R -the Mrs tried to help once but she had me trying on some skin tight chinos.

Dunno about urban, but I can get you a Nike turban for cheap.

Can you tell us more what you mean by the rough-and-ready style? You'll appreciate that, generally, if your style is something that doesn't directly come off the high street then it's a bit harder to cater to, just by the definition that it isn't fast, cheap fashion.

But you're in luck as the internet does accommodate most tastes. If you tell us a bit about what you actually like, it'd be easier to direct you to the right websites.

Yeah, you're going to have to be more specific about what you're looking for, because I have no idea what "the more rough-and-ready 20-something style" is.

My top tip would be to take advantage of returns policies and shop with the intention of returning most of what you buy. Quality and fit are the most important aspects of style, but they're also the hardest to assess online.

Also, get friendly with your local alterations tailor. It's so cheap and easy, but guys get it wrong all the time. Half an inch of sleeve length can make all the difference in a jacket or coat.

Relaxed and practical without veering into dad-core. Maybe a dark blue hoodie and grey jeans with some arty graphics t-shirt. I can't find the fashion template that always gets bandied about so pic related might do (only without the vulgar hole in the jeans).

No worries about the tailor, I already use one to avoid the dreaded crotch blowout.

You should be able to find these in large sizes in most clothing shops, even the trendier ones. If you're looking for higher quality online outlets for basics, it's worth looking at higher end shops that specialise in one kind of item, i.e. a reliable clothing brand for your jeans, a good outerwear shop for your hoodie, etc. rather than picking everything up from the same place.

Also, don't be insecure about veering into 'dad-core'. If you wear what you're comfortable in and pick up items based on individual quality/practicality, you generally won't look too forced or out of place.
