A merino wool long sleeve tee from Minus 33 for a family member. Yes it's pricey but so worth it

I need to go shopping for clothes but have literally no idea where to buy clothes anymore. I haven't bought anything but socks in probably 10 years now.

But to answer the question, work shirts provided by work.

80% wool boot socks.

Yes, my feet are freezing all the time these days and these help a lot. Good quality wool is so good to me.

My wife gifted me a tie dyed King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard T shirt I’ve been wanting for Christmas. It’s hand dyed and screen printed by fan that runs a small online shop. 10/10 he does great work, would recommend

A $35 New Balance winter jacket at Marshalls. We have mild winters so an actual winter jacket is useful for like 2-3 days a year, so I don't really need to invest in an expensive one. I do need it when traveling, and it's pretty good quality.

I got myself a shirt that says Certified Bottom and haven't worn it because ~I have no social life~

Wife got me a heated vest that connects to a portable power bank - it's got a v-neck so it completely disappears under my scrubs.

The OR is fucking cold most of the time, so I use that thing all the time.

I can even change the heat level or turn it on/off by pushing the buttons through a surgical gown, so I can stay the perfect amount of toasty without breaking sterility!

The last piece I received was a hand knitted hat from my sister. I love it.

Last thing I bought was probably a dress from a thrift store. Would totally recommend thrifting, depending on availability in the area.

Redcap overalls, for doing any work that involves climbing under, into, or over anything.

Big fan of Patagonia stuff recently, particularly their flannel shirts and t-shirts (the capilene ones particularly). Did an order a couple of weeks ago with a few more

Scrub shirt with a cute floral pattern, and some plain scrub pants.

Abso-fucking-lutely recommend. Light weight, breathable, easy to clean, comfy as hell, cheap at overstock shops.

I got a selection of hand dyed tie dye socks from my spouse, she's an expert at tie dye so they look amazing and the color choices are great!

I also got these amazing boots! They're comfortable, look great, and are really well made for the price. They're sort of replacing a pair I got more than 5 years ago that I still wear daily in that these match my warm tone pants better than the bluegrey swade that my others are.

Picked up five(!) clothing packages today. I'm systematically downsizing/upgrading my wardrobe for the first time (at 40+ and a stable-ish size). Actually had a couple of meetings with a stylist and all (which I would recommend, mine was excellent even when I told her I wasn't going to do some of the things she thought were important).

• used dark green/orange/white pattern shibori scarf, gorgeous, love it, recommend
• used dark green european-style (rounded corners) thick wool shawl(?)/long shoulder wrap, gorgeous, perfect for autum or layering, recommend
• used colorful viscose scarf, brand name, kind of disappointing, too thick for summer and too bright for any other season, not recommended
• dark turquoise alpaca cardigan, gods that was expensive, gods that's gorgeous, recommended depending what your priorities are
• grey alpaca knit skirt, knit skirts are a new thing for me so we'll see, recommended based on your style and priorities
• a small haul from a basic clothing store, of basic cotton, cotton/viscose, or viscose/polyamide based tunics and pants, unfortunately the fits were off, keeping just one set of pants but trying another size of a tunic, not recommended :/

In general it's probably all up to your personality/style, shape, and colours.

M&S pants. Recommended, obv.

Got 2 white, linen blouses at the thrift. I'm a dude.

White linen is awesome for the beach or river. Keeps the sun off without cooking you.

Often the only way to tell female vs. male clothing is that the buttons and zippers are reversed. Nobody's looking and I don't care if they are!

I got Garfield socks for Christmas! 1000/1000

A Svaha dress (it was on clearance) and some thrift store jeans. 10/10 for both.

Although I prefer thrifting my office work clothes, I no longer have my own vehicle and the small town I live in has abysmal public transit. So I ordered myself the following items from Giant Tiger:

1. A boxy, off-white, short-sleeve, viscose button-up shirt. Probably my favorite item from this order. It's very comfortable and it flirts with the trendy crop-top style while still being entirely appropriate for the office.

2. A long, dark green, lightweight open blazer. This was the most disappointing item. Anything "long" looks frumpy on my stocky build, but I hoped this would be different because of the light fabric... Nope. To make things worse, the fabric is incredibly prone to wrinkling. I basically have to launder this after each wear, boo (normally I try to wash less often to decrease the wear on the fabric).

3. Two printed, polyester V-neck blouses, one off-white and one taupe, with buttons and chest pocket details. These are ok. The fabric is softer than I expected, and drapes beautifully, but the cut is a tad too long and loose on me. So I need to either tuck them into my regular office pants, or wear them loose over tight pants (which apparently is a very outdated millenial look).

4. Another printed polyester blouse, this one with dolman sleeves, with a brown and white floral pattern. I love it because dolman tops look fabulous on me and the colors suit me perfectly. I don't care much for the fake button details on the waist though, and I will probably take them out before I wear it again (hopefully not damaging the fabric in the process!)

Yes. Bought a shirt at zalando. It's so nice to not have to go to physical shops anymore and have limited selection of clothes that barely fit. Zalando changed all that.

Ahhhh, I think it was my tiny tina's wonderland shirt. Could be my Amon Amarth shirt instead though.

I dunno if the t-shirt thing is really something to recommend or not. I can say that the brand of shirt the Amon Amarth is printed on, shaka wear, is really nice. Good, thick cotton.

Beyond that, the last thing I bought that wasn't a t-shirt was my denim jacket. Wrangler, and it's been serving me quite well. Thick enough to wear even in fairly cold weather, light enough for spring and autumn. Fits great, plenty of pockets.
