I want some new clothes!

Hi,

I think its about time to get some new clothes :p,

I am not one for going out in shops and looking at items, trying on etc.. I feel like everyone is watching me, thinking why is he looking at that and so on. Even though they are not i am still paranoid :o. I don't mind it sometimes but i just fancy buying online for a change.

I am young and like to wear decent stuff, i have been wearing henleys tshirts for quite a while and its time to change. I have a couple of the tshirts from river island http://img692.imageshack.us/img692/4125/teen.jpg and i think i am going to get a few more including a couple of polo's maybe.

The main problem for me is jeans, i can never get the right pair to suit me and what footwear i have on. I like the style of the turned up bottoms with plimsolls (which i have and wear now and again) so would like a decent pair like this but finding it hard to see any on the internet.

anyone fancy helping me out, :p

Thanks :D
Things that are free in life are great, well most of the time :beer:

    Next has pretty good for stuff for a young bloke. You can buy and try on at home. If not suitable, just take it back for a refund, there's no hassle ;)

  • The last couple of pairs of jeans i have i got from Next. They do all sorts of shapes, lengths, styles and sizes and theyre really good quality.

    good luck
  • Looking about i decided to give some from m&m direct a go. They look the type i want and if they are wrong i'll simply return as needed :)

    Thanks for that, looked at their website and there are some decent items on there, will keep it in mind thanks.
    River island do turn up jeans for men, try 242143 £39.99, 242808 only left in 36 long as are on sale at £20 now. If you go to their mens section, it has a tab for 'get the look'. This may give you some ideas, sounds like 'offbeat' may be your kind of thing?

    Debenhams have 25% off and free delivery, plus there are 10% off codes. I love debenhams for gents of all ages as they have a vast range and returns are easy!

    mandm.co.uk have some good bits too for men, sometimes they have some great brands reduced :)
    Thanks the m&m website, totally forgot about that place and i found what i want from there! the 242808 on the riverisland site look great too but its a shame i'm only 30/32!
    The offbeat look is the kind of thing i was after apart from the hat and maybe shoes :p The polo tops are something i really like, bought a lyle & scott one earlier on, maybe a couple from river island and then i'll see where i go from there :T Thanks!

    I need some new clothes too- but I'm hanging on for the jan sales when much of what you see today will be greatly reduced!

    I'd also say that as far as the retail year goes, stores get more money at this time of year then any other- summer, easter and back-to-school/work included, so they market and try to sell to you through advertising and offers and campaigns more then ever! Do not get sucked in! Stuff will be WAY cheaper come a months time, stuff thats reduced now will me nothing compared to how reduced it will be then, hold off and save yourself about 50%!
