hahaha have fun at the mall

>>3870402
thanks.

unpossibru. my /fa/ isn't into deals?!?1

H&M and Old Navy? Those are like 5 dollars a shirt year-round. What's the point of going on Black Friday?

Go to nice stores.

>>3870531
$5 sweaters? that's not year round. $10 pants, that's not year round. they'll have deals on outwear, too. what the fuck, i'm not complaining on a good deal lmao. i am going to other stores, though.

>>3870531
not all of us can afford baller $39 polyester-wool blend sweaters, even when they're marked down to 4 for $100

imagine, $100? who has that kind of money?

>>3870557
clearly not faggots like you.

>>3870369
is she floating? there's a lot of balck friday threads on /fa/, but no one seems to share any deals. idk why. I went to the mall last bf and I'm a lazy fuck so I showed up late and the place was cleaned out. In one store I was going to buy a sweater, but the line was too long I just said fuck it. you can get good deals on bf, but it's just not worth the effort to me. I'd rather go any other day of the week

>>3870501

/fa/ does not go to malls.

shop online

>>3870557
>4 for $100
Stop spending Black Friday at Costco. Black Friday deals are on individual items. a 39 dollar sweater would be $20 and that's the end of that. You don't need to buy 3 more to reap the savings.

Don't make a retarded exaggeration just to get your point across. When someone exposes your exaggeration as the baseless claim that it is, you're left with nothing but your own bitchy attitude and nothing to back yourself up.

im with you op. hurrah for black friday! going to h&m, pacsun, rue 21, 21 men, old navy and some more cheapo placs.

>2011
>Waiting long hours in the cold to maybe get a couple deals at one store only.
>Not buying shit online.
>ISHYGDDT

UO is having a 50% sale in-store but it might only be applied for items already on sale... so if there are any people on this forum that wear an XL or XXL (AHAHAHAHAHA) go for it.

Express opens at 12am, and 40% off the entire store.
Long as fuck lines.

and um, no one probably cares but 50% off sales items at Dillard's. Wooo~

>>3870653
I thought you stopped with these mall shenanigans.

Do what this article says and know beforehand what you want to buy.

>>3870685
>. You should be able to casually peruse things and take a day, maybe even a week, to come to a decision.

faggot. no. there goes his credibility.

forever21 had a pre-bf sale today, btw. i think it's going on until bf itself

>>3870708
>forever21

there goes all your credibility

>>3870711
>he actually cares about brands.

smh nigger, as long as it looks good i don't care where it's from

>>3870685
someone couldn't handle the rush

>>3870716
see the thing is forever21 has no good looking clothes

>>3870716
Not the guy you responded to, but you wouldn't (or at least SHOULDN'T) say the same thing about Old Navy and Kirkland brand clothing. And that's because the clothing is poorly cut and cheaply made. It's not designed or manufactured properly in the first place, let alone nicely styled.

>>3870653
black friday purchases:

1000 5.56X45 lake city brass
$267.95 shipped

3000 rounds coming sometime in december

i need an SSD boot drive so i';ll probably browse newegg in vegas come sunday night

(im the sober driver ...yay :l )

>>3870731
meh. only thing i'd hit up old navy for is socks and undershirts. maybe boxers. just simple shit that i find cheap. i'm not gonna buy my whole warddrobe there, ya know?

but i understand what you mean.,
>>3870723
actually, i went there today and i saw a lot of good looking clothes (for women, at least).

and in terms of quality, you're not gonna be rough with it, so what's it matter if it isn't built to last a lifetime? especially when it's that cheap.

>Wake up early to save $5 on a shitty quality t shirt

What a joke, Black Friday is for saving $200 on a tech item your annoying bitch of a wife/kids demand

If you really want to save money on clothes shop online at Barneys and other higher end retailers online on the monday following

>>3870708
he loses credibility for buying clothing in a thoughtful, methodical manner?

the only thing I disagree in the article is:
>Enjoy your comfy slippers, have some coffee, and maybe help bake some cookies.
I don't have that kind of time when I have four cats that need there bellies rubbed
And I don't liek buying clothes online like he suggests

>>3870758
spending a week to decide if you should buy a clothing article? uhh, no. you make the decision then and there. does it fit? do you like it? is it ugly? is it cheap? is it worth it?

if you need a week to answer all of those questions, you're a fucking moron. also, would it even still be there after a week, or a few days?

Black friday shopping for clothes is pointless. You see higher markdowns after Christmas because of the season ending. Better to wait at Best Buy or Walmart for electronics

>>3870779
you take the same time deciding on your piece of shit polyester jacket from the mall and designer coat that costs 4 figures?

oh wait you are still in high school never mind that second part

>>3870788
that's obviously different. you'd take a bit more time, obviously. what's your point?

>>3870784
90% of the shit at Best Buy will naturally decline in price over the next 2 months anyway. Technology is a shitty place to try to get a good deal.

I mean everything's a shitty place to try to get a good deal, but technology follows Moore's Law. That's like the worst possible industry to try to get a good deal in.

Of consumer commodities, clothing is still the best thing to get. Save money and buy as much GOOD clothing as you can at Black Friday. If you buy well, you'll be keeping those garments for years and you'll have spent barely half as much as you might have spent at any other time during the year.

>>3870811
well said. for some reason, i don't understand why people don't understand this.

>>3870811
take it one step further

minmilalist wardrobe with minimalist pieces

allows for getting ready in the morning quicker. the better the quality = longer it lasts

having a closet jam packed full of shitty H&M clothing that falls apart before the end of the season is actually more expensive than just buying a good piece and getting it tailored

>>3870856
but, fuck. what the fuck are you doing that your clothes falls apart that quickly? i mean, i don't even go out of my way to take care of my clothes, and they never fall apart.

what are you doing that makes them turn to shit so quickly?

>>3870861
cheap clothes just disintegrate, its an excuse to pay for designer clothes

>>3870856
That's true. Paradoxically if you want the best bang for your buck, you need to spend more.

With all of that having been said, I'm not categorically against H&M or Old Navy, even for things like shirts and jackets. Most of the shirts I bought during the summer were from H&M and if I buy a jacket in the next month, it'll be from Old Navy or some other cheap place. But I don't expect to need the same size jacket in 10 months when winter is rolling around again. Having a medium size jacket that will last for 5 years is a sound investment if you'll be a medium for 5 years (as, admittedly, most people will be). It just makes it that much harder to throw out or donate if you won't.

>>3870861
Various things tend to pull clothing apart. The two big ones are the wash/dry cycle (and if you dry by clothesline, then the sun does its damage), and the stretching/pulling you typically do when you wear the shirt (think about how you pull it over your head when you put it on, or take it off, or whatever).

I've seen Old Navy collars just come apart like the collar was super-glued rather than stitched. I have an H&M shirt somewhere around here with a thread coming out on the seam running from the collar to the shoulder. It's still good, but its on borrowed time now. Someday I'll need to throw it away.

It's just little stuff like this.

With jeans, by the way, you can see some wear in the pockets sometimes. I have a pair of Levis jeans which recently got demoted to "around the house" jeans because the pocket has a hole in it, presumably from keys being in there and jabbing a little hole exactly the width of a key.

It's just all the obvious shit. To be honest I can't even imagine how you HAVEN'T had this stuff happen to you. Once you stop growing your clothing generally sticks with you (unless you're obscenely rich and you throw perfectly good clothing away for other reasons), so wear and tear should become a fact of life.

>>3870881
yeah, H&M beats most places when it comes to under shirtsm underwear and socks or other consumables.

jackets you can beat up.

>>3870861
i have a few pieces that i like wearing over and over again.

if you have 5 pairs of levis
they might last you along time.

but i like having as little clothing/clutter as possible 5 pairs of pants, 10 shirts maybe 4-5 outwear pieces 2-3 suits

small selection of ties

small asortment of shoes

when you price it all out its the same price as buying a few shirts from H&M everyweek

but you get the added benefit of waking up not not starring at this cluster fuck of clothing

idk, maybe im a poorfag or an aspie
but i prefer having less to look at

>>3870929
When I started taking style more seriously I seriously threw out over 50% of my wardrobe because it was
a) terrible b) didn't fit, not worth to tailor
Now I have:
1 white dress shirt (from H&M but it fits great until I have $ for a proper one), 1 shirt from hugo boss
I ordered a made to measure OCBD and gingham shirt from Ratio clothing (25% off)
3 basic crewnecks/v-necks from topman/gap
3-4 cardigans/sweaters from gap/H&M (I know)
1 slim navy blazer from A/X
1 pair of APC new cures, 1 cheap chino from H&M, 1 pair of white gap jeans...
1 pair of Clark beeswax desert boots (all you need baby), 1 pair brown Ron White wingtips
Timex weekender watch, Rayban aviator and new wayfarer and a navy wool vivienne westwood scarf I got for 10 euros
= Ballin' (not really)

You didn't read the full text

>You see higher markdowns after Christmas because of the season ending

Why "save money" spending on clothes on black friday when it's going to be much cheaper a month later? o_o compared to electronics which usually don't reach prices that low.

and to those that retort saying it's mostly coats and jackets have no clue

>>3870986
good luck finding your size by that point, it is hard enough already

>>3870992

usually people retort with some sort of experience with these sorts of things. You're acting like a season sale is like a sample sale which it isn't. I am a size 38 chest, waist 31 small sized individual I live in a Atlanta, and I never have problems with size during these sales.

If you are worried about sizing during an after christmas sale how does black friday make any difference? o_o

>>3870992

if you are an XXS or XS individual or an XXL XL individual you shouldn't be shopping at the mall either way, you won't find anything that will be flattering for your shape to begin with.
