So, I'm intrigued!

Everybody's fashion sense is different!

What brands or stores do you generally go to?

I'll fully admit to being a little vein with my shopping, I absolutely hate baggy stuff too so - it kinda limits the shops I go to!

The brands I usually go to-

Superdry (usually for jeans and workout gear)
Under armour - 80% of my workout stuff!
Ralph Lauren - if I'm trying to dress to impress!
Bench - causal wear!
Armani - usually hit the sales up and get some nice shirts and jeans!

What brands do you like?

    Now:

    Tahari
    Larry Levine
    Nipon
    Calvin Klein
    Lilly Pulitzer (consignment, can't afford retail)
    L.L. Bean
    Eddie Bauer
    Anne Klein

    When I'm a size 12 or below:

    Talbots
    Ann Taylor

    That's great thinking, I think clothes are a fantastic way to reward ourselves for awesome progress!
    There's no better feeling than looking great in clothes you really want to wear!!

    All the best with hitting that size 12 goal!

    Also, forgot all about Calvin Klein!! Another of my favourites!

    Usually I go to outlet villages and get most of the brands I like at a discount - usually end of season but, there's some mega savings to be had!!!

    J. Crew for the most part. I know exactly how their stuff fits and it lasts a long time. I hit them up whenever they have a 20% off + free shipping online sale.

    For t-shirts and hoodies, I like Alternative Apparel. Some of their items I can find on eBay at wholesale prices.

    Basically I'm skinny and particular about how my clothes fit me. Don't want people to think I'm a sack of bones underneath my clothes so I try to reveal my body in such a way that people will see that I do workout and I'm working with a little somethin' somethin'. Hehe.

    Ah I get your thinking!
    Kind of my logic with my clothing!


    Most of my tops are slim fit muscle stretch, they highlight all the right areas without making me feel like I'm wearing anything too baggy!
    One of the reasons I like Ralph Lauren but, I'll only buy RL things end of season!!
    I'm not made of money!! Lol

    Might have to check out that brand you mentioned!!! I'll have a Google later!

    Hmm...well I'm not a *kitten* tool, and I really don't want to impress anyone. So I guess Levi's and vans most the time. And when I work out, shorts, vans, and most likely a marvel shirt.

    I don't really think about labels or brands unless it's workout cloths or out doors clothes.

    For workout stuff
    Nike - they're the only shoes for me and the clothes are the only one I'm truly happy with
    Dragon fly - it's an UK based pole fitness brand.. Their pole shorts have full crotch coverage
    Indi pole wear - again, full coverage

    Outdoors stuff

    Cintamani - love them and I'm never cold
    66°north - their coats are perfect for a storm on a glacier.. You won't even feel the cold
    Colombia - NY go to hiking boots
    Canada goose - love the brand and its perfect for Icelandic weather but it's ridiculously expensive.

    Everyday stuff

    Shoes

    Bianco - for fancy stuff
    Nike - everyday stuff

    River Island - only jeans that I've been happy with

    Other than that... Ugh. I just buy what fits and doesn't cost to much.. I don't like spending money on clothes that will last a year until the next fashion season takes over

    I like going to discount stores and buying what's cute. H&M and Target are my go-to if I wanna spend a little more.

    When I was obese, only clothes from Torrid really fit. I used Style and Co by Macy's for jeans.

    I'm a cheapskate, so...

    Usually Old Navy, Kohl's brands (Sonoma or Croft & Barrow), I like Massimo's from Target, Bali for bras, I've got some Under Armour sweater and socks. I got some Columbia stuff for hiking.

    Jeans I used to get Lee but got some Levi's at the outlet that fit much better (my shape sucks, they either fall off or I have a muffin top).

    Disclaimer - I have a cat, and she likes getting on my lap and getting her claws stuck in things, so yeah.

    Lulu is so worth it though. Makes your butt look AMAZING and so comfy.
    If you can get the stuff on sale it's not as bad. I have one that's fairly close to me so I can pop in and check out the sale rack.

    And I shop alone so no one gets dragged anywhere in my life haha but I don't like Victoria Secret we've other Canadian brands I like

    I also like Old Navy for cheap dresses and the Gap is nice for t shirts and sweaters
    American Eagle for jeans

    Anthropologie/ True Religion jeans/ vintage stuff

    I like Old Navy active wear but I think most of their other clothes are cut really badly and look cheap (plus the sizes are huge - vanity sizing gone crazy)

    Yes!!! But they are cheap! But the sizes I find their XS is often too big lately...I'm not an extra small. I suspect it's just cheap and poor quality control.

    Wallflower jeans - because as far as I'm concerned you should have always been able to get women's jeans by inseam.

    The only label I pay attention to is on my work pants and boots. Carhartt and Wrangler make the most comfortable longest lasting pants out there, and these 6 year old Red Wing boots still make me feel like I'm walking on clouds.
