I'm in my 40s and my main brands apart from sportswear.

Billabong; all clothes

Quiksilver: all clothes

Penney's: everything else 😂

Honourable mention to the GAP, I stocked up well during their store closing sale.

I've got quite a few suits and other formal wear that doesn't get worn anymore apart from weddings or funerals. Retirement has its upsides 👍

You have no idea

Bobblehats

i do not believe in the branding but fabric of the man.

Wanderer78

giving less and less sh1t about branding, dont overly buy, try to make clothes last as long as possible, the planets fcuked up enough from the industry, becoming more and more cheap brands, lidl, aldi, tesco etc, but i do have some good outdoor brands,

north face, lowe alpine, mountain equipment, montane, patagonia, berghaus, gelert etc.

footwear: asics, zamberlan, teva, merrell

impossible to give top 3, most of my time is in cheap clothing, no point destroying good wear doing regular dirty work

Larbre34

I'm a fat c***, so its American brands for me, Tommy H, Ralph L, Levi's, Gant etc. I also do pretty well for summer wear from some of the outdoor adventure brands, Timberland, Superdry, Helly Hansen.

I've a couple of bespoke suits (cheaper than you'd think by the way) and I wear the footwear of Ecco, Skecher, Vans and Barker for the brogues. All have a nice wide fit for my size 12 dinner plates.

On second thoughts, don't answer.

You're 16.

I'm almost 50 and over the years have come to appreciate comfort and value for money more than fashion.

1. Under Armour for Tops and T-shirts most are soft, comfortable and last a decent amount of time
2. Carharrt for caps, jackets, T-shirts and tops. Not as comfortable as Under Armour but absolutely bullet proof, a tad expensive here in Ireland but cheap if you can get to the US. Lasts for ever, I still have Carharrt clothes I bought 25 years ago.
3. Adidas trainers (mostly originals) a product of my youth so I guess brand loyalty.

chicorytip

Levi's for jeans and socks.

Hugo Boss for underpants.

Hotter for footwear.

Riddle101

I'll typically buy whatever I find in the shop that suits me but if I were to select three clothing brands that I prefer.

Wrangler - I have a few pairs of combats and jeans.

EMP - For T-shirts and music merchandise.

Timberland - For shoes and boots

Trying to focus more on sustainable brands lately aiming to buy Patagonia out of season so it’s slightly cheaper and so on. Have an eye on a few other brands that I’ve never worn before like Rapanui so will see how that goes.

carharrtt, Barbour and Under Armour are three I hit often. Carharrt is pricey but they do great sales and the clothes are indestructible. Barbour guarantee their jackets, you’d have one for life.

my biggest issue with “fast fashion” is that the clothes often wash poorly. The amount of shirts that shrink after one wash is crazy. Saying that though, the OXFORD shirts in next where the best bang for your buck you could get. They’ve made them cheaper looking and stamped their stag head logo on them now and ruined it.

Man 50's, Gardeur jeans, H&M tops and jocks, usually get them online as the slim fit stuff that fits me is not sold in Ireland, after that its Donegal wool jumpers, Carhartt, Patagonia,Rab, I try and buy clothes that are not plastered with logo's

barneygumble99

Early 40’s

1- Adidas originals (trainers) too many pairs to wear

2 - Levi’s jeans, hold their shape and don’t fade or shrink

3 - Polo/Ralph Lauren polo shirts

4 - Next socks and jocks

5 - Superdry hoodies

Havent bought many new items of clothing in the last 2 years with covid/not much going out and a complete lack of options for mens clothes shops where I Iive

The Mighty Quinn

Seems I'll be the first to give Nike a nod.

Nike - most comfortable footwear for me, don't like Adidas fit at all. Nike tshirts are also good quality and wash well.

Hilfiger - best fitting and most comfortable pants for me

Underarmour - I wear shorts most of the time, especially since working from home started. UA shorts, especially the double layered ones are the best fit for me.

I'm 36.

Sgt Hartman

Usually Zara or River Island for t shirts, hoodies, runners and cargo pants. Crosshatch for jeans and Penneys for socks, jocks and tracksuit bottoms. I'm 42

OscarMIlde

39 years of age.

Tops/blouses. Rebecca Taylor and Joie, have a good few by Reiss as well.

Dresses. Reiss, Whistles, French Connection, Monsoon. Have loads by Ghost M&S diffusion line now too.

Jumpers: Massimo dutti, Reiss, Selected femme, French connection.

Jeans. I only wear AG adriano goldshmied.

Coats: Massimo Dutti, Selected Femme and All Saints.

Have a few nice bits from Cos, & other stories, and Mango.

Runners are mainly Adidas sambas, winter boots are Panama Jacks, work shoes are mainly Dune.

I'm pretty cheap so buy a lot of my clothes from Ebay, can get last season clothes cheap often with tags still on. I'm lucky in that I'm a standard size so don't have to worry about fit. Otherwise it's sales. I have to really like something to pay full price.

Mister Vain

Superdry, Diesel and Adidas. 39 years old.

eeloe

Footwear - Nike AirMax 90s, Dunks, and Adidas Superstars

Jeans - Hollister, they are the best fit for me, i've tried many, but these are just unreal comfort, i don't mind that i'm the oldest person in the shop buying them either!

T-shirts, pretty much anything, once i like it.

Mid-Late 30's.

darragh o meara

Early forties male:

Shoes/Trainers: Ecco ( Cant beat these, have a few pairs and some are 10 yrs old at this stage and still perfect ) / Nike (Air Force 1's in particular)

Jeans: Tommy Hilfiger and Levis (Both unbelievably hard wearing and last forever, I still have a pair of TH Jeans I got in 2007)

T-shirts: Tog 24 ( they last forever, started buying them 6-7 yrs ago and still have most of them today )

Jumpers: Tommy Hilfiger

Hoodies: Under Armour / North Face

Socks: Penguin ( You really cant beat decent socks, showing my age here )

Tracksuits: Canterbury ( Love the fit and finish of them )

Irish_rat

30's male:

Jeans: Levis.

Jumpers/Shirts: Tommy Hilfiger, Selected Homme, Next

Tshirts: Next, h&m, zara

Running tops/shorts: Nike and adidas.

Budget buying is grand but you find the top brands usually are worth buying for long lasting wear. Especially jeans, jackets and jumpers.

I don't have a top 3 but a number of favourites. I'm 30*

Sezane for everything apart from jeans and dresses, so far.

River Island I like for jeans and the odd top and earrings.

On a very rare occasion I will see a dress I like in Carraig Donn.

Fat Face for cardigans and the odd dress.

M&S for night wear and underwear jumpers in the winter and chunky cardigans, plain t shirts and some things for work, tights.

Intimissimi for underwear.

Veja and Nike are my favourite trainer but I do like Adidas. Usually buy them online.

I like Zalando too.

Avoca have lovely jewellery. I'm obsessed with earrings! Can never have enough.

*I'm actually 40 buy it's a hard fact to swallow 😆

I'm probably the only woman about who hates Zara and I wouldn't be overly fond of H&M either. Any of the high fashion type places do nothing for me. And everything is neon and belly baring. No thanks.
