mens fashion-advice,good places to shop etc

Jacko

I used to shop at a big mans store in Adelaide there jeans r like $170 :-(

I shop currently from HIGH'n'MIGHTY in Melbourne, but i also buy from online on Polo Ralph Lauren they have a big mens size on there website. and the cloths are cheap.


cheers

Yeah ive seen their website and they do have nice stuff but so expensive.Most capitals have a shop like that except Sydney,weird.As with Rivers again love to shop there,but only stock up to 3xl,i mean i was fitting into 6xl.

Good news is that im shrinking so,have some nice clothes i had before i still kept in stock,so will be digging them out soon.

Usually I shop at kingsize menswear but it's so dear its not funny. Between 50-70 for a shirt or shorts.

My wardrobe is now basically full..

I've become somewhat a clothes-aholic that's for sure.

I'm only buying bare essentials until I lose my weight then going for a shopping spree at the DFO in Canberra. We were there last weekend and there is a lot of mens clothes shops there and great shoe shops as well. Hubby hadn't bought any new clothes in years and I actually got him interested and got some great stuff at Jag for very reasonable prices. Also managed to get him to pick out a few pairs of shoes. I'm not sure where you live but if there is a DFO even remotely close by go check it out, it's worth it.

My DH was taking up to a 5XL, getting his clothes mostly from Big W, Target, Kmart and Rivers.

He has now lost 40kgs and is loving shopping. He can buy clothes from ANYWHERE. Myers, Jag and Jeep are 3 of his favourites. He mainly shops in the sales, but has spent some 'real' money on clothes.

Rivers usually have a great selection of shirts in "big fit" up to 3XL included in their sales items. Can often get shirts for $9.95. quality varies but if you are losing weight it's not going to matter if they don't last. That said, it's also not uncommon to find good quality larger sizes too.

Just realised this blog hasnt got a reply.Most of my shopping is done through Lowes Big Mens,although plenty of big mens shops around,i dont want to spend an arm and a leg on clothes.I have actually kept alot of my old clothes(even 10 yrs old)to use once i lose the weight,as they still look good(jeans and most shirts dont go out of fashion).id love to go shop at Roger David,Man O Man,Rivers,Country Road etc again,but really cant see myself buying a shirt for $75.00 where a $30.00 looks just as good.Also with the weight loss,more styles,fashions etc will be available to me.

Ok guys- the girls section just got a sticky for fashion and beauty so I didnt want to

leave you out!
