No  he suggested it so we could be "little and large" and I just looked at him like
He sticks to more of the vests and tshirts whereas I prefer the hoodies and coats. Their cologne is quite nice too that I buy for him. He makes sure he doesn't buy me what he's got

Yeah, I think it was David Beckham who started the Superdry boom here. I thought everyone knew what it was but I was speaking to one of my Kesha Stan friends on kik, from the US and they didn't have a clue what it was.

I don't tend to wear too much. I like it so it's not too overpowering on myself but I love it a little strong on Alex. I just think it suits him more  Plus he's always spraying something from the gym etc.
In terms of sprays, I like fcuk but I prefer a body spray to aftershave, as it tends to irritate my skin. This is what I usually get Alex

I often see nice Blazers, Coats and Jackets in the Superdry shop window but when I go into the store, all I see are branded hoodies... so I leave. It's basically the Hollister boom all over again where I live.

I think some of their stuff is worth the price a lot more than others. Like I don't really justify the price of the tees as I've usually got a hoody on, so I buy cheaper tees that I'll cover

The jacket looks really nice and comfy! I didn't know Superdry made fragrances  They're quite expensive as well

I'll usually stop by when I'm in the mall, and I want to buy something, but I end up just wandering the store and never getting anything.

I want to get a really casual hoodie that I can live in this winter, I'm from Australia so it's hardly actually cold. I think I really like this one but I'm not sure which colour. There's five options there, which one do you guys like? I'm leaning for the light grey one that I linked but not too sure.

I personally love all of the colours. If you're only buying it for winter I'd go with a darker colour, but the grey is very good all year round and the colour is very versatile.

I guess it's not too bad then. I'm kind of cheap when it comes to perfumes. I never buy them in stores, I always order online, you can get them for so much cheaper there

I think it's fun to kind of stroll around and just look at the items as well. You don't have to buy anything just because you go into the store

Do you smell them first in store and then order online? Coz I like to see what I'm buying when it comes to that kind of stuff.

Yeah, I definitely smell them before I order it. However, I did do a blind purchase once and ended up loving it and it's now my everyday fragrance

For lower-cost fast fashion, I usually go to Topman, the Kooples (great selection of Saint Laurent rip-offs with great quality), Gap, All Saints (sale prices are great), Helmut Lang (sale), Cos, and Uniqlo. To me, sale prices at upscale brands always serve a better deal than buying cheap, unless you are buying basics, which is why I included Uniqlo, Gap, and Topman, which always provide high quality yet affordable items.
I loathe H&M and try to avoid Zara. H&M uses the floppiest, lowest quality materials with poor construction to keep costs way down, and you can feel it instantly. Zara is similar, but their higher price points allow for a bit better quality material selection and construction. Zara always has issues with leather, though. Some of their leather jackets look like puffy neoprene.

Only time I ever blind purchase is when I'm ordering from a store I usually buy the type of item from. Although I've noticed with superdry, the most expensive items tend to be smaller in size than their cheaper ones, possibly. Then in another store, their more expensive items were bigger in size than their cheaper
Anyone buy Next jeans? I don't get their sizing at all. I take a 28 inch waist in their jeans but I measured all parts of my waist and I'm actually a 30 at the slimmest and 32 at the widest. So what's the truth?

Yeah. I bought a cable knit sweater from H&M and I regret it tremendously. It feels like absolute trash compared to other cable knits I have from higher end brands, even though they're supposedly the same material.
