It's a total and complete toss up depending upon locality, but your speaking total truth. The most upmarket brand you'll find at my local TJ Maxx or Marshall's is Calvin Klein.

Tk maxx even had tom ford's first men's line at like 80%. Shits unfair.

No worries. It was a diamond in the rough to be fair, a lot of crap to sift through. Have a good old rummage!
You can get some nice stuff, but it's usually hidden amongst a lot of garish tatt. We get a lot of Billabong and Quiksilver in the UK stores. You know, because we all surf and stuff. :/
That wallet in question was marked down twice from £54 to £30 to £16. Steal!

I bought new navy khakis from Old Navy. They fit really well, but they're a bit billowy past the knee to the bottom. I can get these tapered a little, right? Would it look funny if I do so?

Are old navy khakis worth the price of tailoring though?

Sweater in the middle has potential. I think the real problem is the Hanson-esque models.Not feeling Paul Smith's Men's SS

Next friday there is an office party. I dont know what to wear. It stands between one or the other for the time being:
A navy blue suit, with a magenta tie and magenta shoes. (I'm thinking just a white shirt for this)
or
A dark-sand colored suit with a black shirt, back belt and black shoes. No tie.
Is the blue option too summery to have in the winter? Are there other colors that would make either suit look better?

Well, it'd cost like ten bucks. Wouldn't be so baggy at the bottom, I think it'd look better.

since he sold it to link theory and they relaunched in ... 2007?. I think jeans are actually made in the US, but not 100% on that.

Where can I find a light colored denim jacket!?! All denim shirts have dumb girly white buttons on them and no store I shop at (....just pacsun adn h@m) have any. I want it to fit me tight and it be high in the back like a motorcycle jacket or something. Heck I can't find a google image of exactly what my minds eye wants.... grrr

whats a good denim shirt to buy and then own
I think they're out of season a bit. But you've got options. I did a quick mental scan for brands I knew that were like H&M and PacSun, and you might see something you like from their selections.
ASOS (widest selection)
Topman
Urban Outfitters

Don't forget shorts. Can't wear thick denim pants in 90 degree weather.
It kind of sucks but my layering abilities have never been that good anyways.

Just copped a super sheer short-sleeved button up from Dior Homme SS10. Gonna make those nips pop
What should I do to mix it up a little more though?
freenudemacusers

gilt has some interesting kris van assche/linda farrow shades right now at pretty good prices. copped the round ones with a bridge.
Steal a few things from the Bedouins when searching for pants or shirts. Keep it light colored and loose-fitting. Look for thin, natural fabrics that breath like (thin) cotton, linen, and (thin) wool. Nothing tightly woven, like denim, but your options are still broad. And as the Bedouins know, long sleeves and full length pants can actually be better for long periods of time out in the sun, as it prevents you for loosing too much water through evaporation and getting too much sun exposure.
Or you could go the opposite direction, and sex it up in the really thin, stretchy, synthetic, and athletic second skin kind of clothing.
Or you could mix and match.

Going to get my suit tailored this weekend for a wedding coming up, but I need to find a shirt/tie to go with it. I don't want to wear a white shirt underneath, no patterns (which i usually wear) either. My gf is the maid of honor so I'd like to avoid wearing colors similar to what the wedding party is wearing (pink, minty green).
Would a navy suit, yellow shirt, red patterned tie be too much contrast? Or should I play it safe with just a light blue shirt and a dark blue tie?

Sounds way too loud. I'd go with a white or very light blue shirt. Another option that works well is a soft pink, but I guess you don't want that. A yellow shirt is going to be very hard to pull off.
