This is 2007. Who realistically has the time to peruse actual stores anymore? You, the reader, live in the multi-tasking generation. In between work and a social life, where do you fit in shopping?
That’s why the Internet is quickly becoming a preferred method of shopping for many guys. It’s as if it was invented just for you. No fitting rooms to wait in line for, no pesky sales associates breathing down your neck. To help narrow down your options when it comes to shopping for clothes and accessories online, I’ve compiled a list of 10 sites you should bookmark (in non-ranking order). Your next shopping excursion can be done in your underwear from the comfort of your sofa.
Happy shopping!
Revolveclothing.com
One of the first sites to retail contemporary brands online, Revolve Clothing is the “every guy” retailer, offering something for different tastes. And they have free shipping and returns. Cool brands: Howe, Initium Eyewear, Andy Warhol for Levi’s, J. Lindeberg, Creative Recreation and WESC.
Guyshop.com
Guyshop, an extension of the popular Girlshop.com, is a fun and funky site. A tightly edited selection of indie brands gives this retailer the feeling of an intimate boutique. It’s for a guy who doesn’t do mass distributed brands, knows his style and has a good eye for spotting what’s hot. Cool brands: 10.Deep, Modern Amusement, Drifter, Rosasen, Woodys.
Nordstrom.com
If you must shop at a department store site, this is the one. They have great shoe sales, an extensive list of brands and advanced search methods cut your shopping time. Cool brands: Marc by Marc Jacobs, 1921, Black Rivet, Public Opinion, Rock & Republic and Aqua VI.
Onthefly.com
What Debonair man doesn’t a leather bottle wine carrier, a flask, a lunch box or a set of good wine glasses? I can’t think of any. More of an upscale novelty accessory retailer, On the Fly is a great site to get the things to complete your modern gentleman look. Guys can shop by lifestyles such as “Old School”, “Wall Street”, “Hipster”, “Professor”, “Sporstman”, with matching profiles to check if you measure up.
