I noticed a lot of brands go downhill over the years. The quality and styles just aren't the same anymore. I tend to just find random brands I like that are more affordable and make comfortable clothing but I still have my preferences. Like for shoes and whatnot, I almost always buy Puma. For me, they have made some of the most comfortable footwear out there and if you find it on a deal, you aren't paying much for the quality.

    ‘I’m not brand heavy…but there are couple standouts:

    Button-Ups: Charles Tyrwitt
    Jeans: Old Navy or American Eagle
    Polos: Hollister
    Shirts: Old Navy
    Suits: Jos A Bank

    But I’m more laissez faire nowadays and just get what I like. I’ll shop anywhere for anything if it fits the look I’m going for. I have some $20 running shoes on right now and no one would ever know…I wouldnt run in them though. ☺️

    Old Navy has some good shirts. Even dress pants. I have gotten a number of things from them in the last few years and I am impressed. They have cheaper stuff but the quality is impressive.

    They really do…

    …I sometimes find Banana Republic quality items in Old Navy. I don’t really shop at either, ima Ross/marshalls type cat but Old Navy/GAP/BR sometimes be sharing items.

    The only think I absolutely hate about Old Navy is the fact that they use fake pricing. They'll have a pair of jeans that retail for $25.00 but they'll mark them up to $50.00 and say "SALE: Buy one, get one for a penny" to make it look like a come up. It's like no...let me buy one for $25 and GTFOH. So when I go in there and see a fake Sale I just walk out and come back a week or so later to get it at its real price. JC PENNEY and KOHLS do that same crap too...makes it so painful to shop at a place where EVERYTHING is on sale.

    This is true but a lot of stores do this. They pretend you are getting a better deal than you actually are. Like I know the stuff I like goes on sale often so I just shop around sales and promotions. It is shady but once you learn how a store does this, you can work around it.
