I got a twist for the fellas! Look at women's clothes at the thrift. There's far more variety than in the men's section and it's stupid cheap. Also, if you're non-fat, women's tops tend to cut in subtly at the waist, trés chic. Imagine, clothes that don't look like they used a whiskey barrel for a mannequin.
A good chunk of my shoes are from the female section. Got several jackets and other winter tops that look dead sexy. Used to pay way too much for white linen to wear at the beach or river. Here's the top I wore yesterday. (Boat's too small for 4, even though we're all tiny. Kids took turns getting towed.) Pulled two white tops at the thrift and my wife was shaking her head, "No! Those are for girls!" Yesterday she thought I looked hot and tried to give me told-you-so that the tops would look great on me. Whatever.
Here's one of those tops with a woman's vest, $4 for both. Just noticed, that's a woman's watch, $2 plus a new battery. Wish I had more pics handy, but you get the idea.
CAVEAT: The buttons and zippers are ass backwards.
Nice! Slick info, and suave looking dude! Thanks man!
Shirts and shoes are pretty much the only women's things I don't bother with as they're the only ones that are sized/cut in ways that don't feel comfortable/fit on me. I've never found women's shoes big enough for my men size 13 feet and shirts have too much material in the front that makes the whole thing hang weirdly.
The shoe thing annoys me so much because the ONLY shoes for men seem to be white, black or brown in 3 flavors of style (work boot, loafer, or sneaker). Meanwhile the women's shoe section is 3 times bigger and has all kinds of cool shit too small for my feet.
