So I start my blog and I get asked straight out to include mens clothing. So I started my research and found that there are cheap mens clothing websites. I was under the illusion that this wasn't possible considering a basic mens button up can cost $79.95 minimum. Oh how I was wrong.
First find was drjays.com. I was really impressed with this website and the layout for basic essentials. You can set the "Sort By" drop down menu to lowest to highest and actually find some really good finds at cheap prices. Also in the top right, there is also the option to set your currency. Just to cover a few essential items I believe every man should have in their closet:-
The Basic Tee. Classic Item that is easily worn with a pair of jeans or for an underlay. Listing price currently on the website: AU$12.18***
The Tank top. Worn with cargo shorts, jean shorts, workout top or as an under garment. Listing price currently on the website: AU$9.46***
The Button Up Shirt. Worn best with jeans/dress jeans or trouser pants for a casual day out. Listing price currently on the website: AU$29.61***
The Cotton Vest. Worn over a basic cotton shirt for a casual outfit or worn over a business shirt for work. Vests can make an outfit not look so boring :) Listing price currently on the website: AU$12.11***
The Man Sweater. I think every man should have a sweater. Sweaters, can compliment a casual outfit to make it more trendy or it can be worn over a work shirt without a tie. These sweaters range from AU$17.58-21.64*** currently on drjays.com
The Denim. I personally like slim fit on men. I cringe when I see guys wearing skinny jeans and it's just a little bit too tight. The left hand pair is more casual that you would wear with T-shirts where as the right hand pair can be dressed up with a button up shirt.

Drjays.com has a vast range of clothing and you can easily sift through the good quality to higher quality of clothing. For more formal wear or business attire, my favourite pick is:
I was quite surprised with overstock.com with the availability of suits. For simple work suits, I managed to find suits for under AU$100. Only catch with any suit, is that you need to know your measurements in waist size and length of pants.
For formal wear, I found some nice sleek suits in particular, Georgio Fiorelli suits. For some reason, the suits that were listed reminded me of Barney Stinson from How I met your mother. This particular suit costs under AU$150. Check it out:
The next item of clothing that caught my eye was the wool blend coats. You will find some decent coats for under $150. These can be worn over a casual outfit or also over your work clothes.
Other sites that I would recommend for suit shopping or business attire are:-
For some casual wear,outdoor clothing and designer labels I'd also recommend visiting:-
And previously mentioned:-
I know what you are probably thinking... Rivers? I do buy some of my clothes from Rivers because they have something on sale all year round. I like buying their winter coats, when the time of year comes around. Plus you can get free shipping over AU $100. They do sell quite a few mens casual button up short sleeve shirts which I think is ideal for summer.
Please note all my prices are in Australian dollars. You can go to www.xe.com/ucc/ to calculate in your local currency.
