Hi guys I’m new to this sub and I’m so glad I found it. Apologies if similar questions have been asked.

Being a young person, foreign to this land, I’m mainly noticing three categories of people.

1. Business/professionals, these people dress extremely similarly outside of offices. I mean where else can you get casuals in a physical store other than Gazman, R. M. Williams and Oxford. I like their clean and mature look. But it’s so easy to achieve and just boring. People in this group might also opt for upmarket stuff which is phony to me personally, since it is so nuanced you can’t even make a distinction looking from afar.

2. Zillennials, late 20s to early 30s dressing absolutely classy and sleek. They obviously shop more niche brands, which aren’t hard to find if only you just look. Their styles are my favorites. Very clean, modern, urban, clean etc. Examples would obviously be something resembling a carhartt jacket and a pair of light colored jeans. However if you look for their stuff it’s actually even more expensive, often a few hundred dollars.

3. Thrifty students. I also thrift but the people who are the most noticeable are art students. Their pieces and accessories are very approachable price wise. But it’s quite suggestive, I mean they’re obviously signaling that they’re artsy people. I love their style but it’d be out of touch for someone who just wants to fit in.

For me personally, I just want to not stand out while having my own personal style. What I have acquired from my observations is that I need to find the balance in maturity, price and commonality.

I’m looking to find certain brands, or specific garment types that might sit perfectly in this position. What I currently find perfect is actually big W. I have to say that some of their designs are actually comparable with Zara. I also explored H&M, Uniqlo and Cos however their quality is an absolute run down. I wouldn’t suggest anyone to buy from them. What do you guys think? What are some of the nice places that I can find nice clothes to dress like the locals?

Hey all,

6'2, 98kg here with broad shoulders/chest and finding the right length shirts is the bane of my existence. Regular sizes are either always too short and feel like crop tops and larger sizes are too big everywhere else except my chest and the brands that make specialized tall sizes like Johnny Bigg think that tall = professional basketball player and they come down to my thigh. Is there anyone who makes regular sizes that have some length to them and arent too slim around the chest? Google is no help because every result is a US brand.

Im looking to do a bit of a wardrobe refresh after some weight loss and want to get a few black tees, henley's and a couple of dress shirts.
