<p>A&F Clothes look like crap. I seriously think I can just pick up one of my raggedy old t-shirts, do a sloppy print job on the front with the logo and then return it to the store and make $40 off of it. </p>
<p>They make nice cologne though, I'll give you that. And the daddy's princesses that shop at A&F stores, top notch.</p>
<p>They both suck</p>
<p>wheres a good place to get tee shirts for the summer...i really like the clothes i have for cold weather but im getting tired of my Abercrombie and hollister haughty **** in the summer. whats a good, sophisticated look?</p>
<p>Ralph Lauren...?</p>
<p>Polos (pastels are always good), shorts (plaid/madras/khakis), pants (I got myself a few seersuckers/khakis).</p>
<p>but from where...i want to look nice with out trying to "show off my affluence" or whatever. J. Crew looks nice, any others?</p>
<ol>
<li>Polo</li>
<li>TH</li>
<li>Izod</li>
<li>Nautica</li>
</ol>
<p>"but from where...i want to look nice with out trying to "show off my affluence" or whatever. J. Crew looks nice, any others?'</p>
<p>J.Crew is a beautiful choice for well-dressed man who don't like logos. </p>
<p>Get some oxford shirt from J.Press, if you happen to live in a city with J.Press. Grab some basics from Brooks Brothers, as well. Bill's khakis are the best quality khakis, you may want to look into those.</p>
<p>What I described was more well put together than showing off affluence (then you could get some chains or whatever they wear). Brooks Brothers has a nice collection. Banana Republic also has a nice sale going on (at least in NYC) where you can pick up some stuff. J. Crew has a good online sale to pick up polos and khakis.</p>
<p>BTW Vineyard Vines polos are top notch. Check those out.</p>
<p>Yet another tip: Be cautious of people wearing those nasty big pony polos. For some reason I am seeing a sudden emergence of them here in the city. The probability that they are a dbag is rather high.</p>
<p>For those of you who don't know, you can get a lacoste polo on ebay for less than twenty dollars. That is, If you want to wear the same shirt as everyone else at your trendy school.</p>
<p>I like: Ralph Lauren (especially purple label), Vineyard Vines, Brooks Brothers, J. Press...and for shoes: sperry and ferragamo</p>
<p>When people wear the big pony shirts you can tell they're wanna be's.</p>

<p>Mixing old-school J.Press sack suits with fashionable ferragamo shoes.........mmm. ;)</p>
<p>Actually Jonathan I think a person sporting those are most likely saying:</p>
<p>"Hey guys yes i did get myself a RL polo and dropped the A&F look recently".</p>
<p>ewwwwww :D</p>
<p>oh look, another thread on brands. hmm...well a section of my wardrobe is made up of lacoste and a+f. i only get a+f pants, because i dont like their shirts. i think ralph lauren is very nice and conservative. though i have a couple of lacoste items, i think that its getting too trendy. i think i'll switch to ralph lauren instead. now that sounded very spoiled and stuff, but trust me, a great majority of my stuff is old navy + macy's and stuff. i dont believe in shopping in solely cheap or expensive brands; i buy where the stuff looks good on me, and not for the name brand or pricetag. i dont like those "omg it would be sooo disgraceful for me to shop at like, old navy" but i also dont like those "everyone who wears a name brand is a preppy wannabe!" ppl either.</p>
<p>Andrassy> Imagine my reaction when I spotted three people with that in a 4 hour span while walking around the downtown area (NYC).</p>
<p>for those of you who like RL: do you get the regular or custom fit polos?</p>
<p>A+F or diesel for jeans, Lacoste for polos, and RL for button up and dress shirts.</p>
