I just buy cheap local ("pirated") clothing. Lasts as good as any brand, just costs multiple times less.
BCBG, Forever 21, H&M, Anthropologie, and Urban Outfitters. For shoes, my favorites are BCBG (they make shoes too), Minnetonka, Toms, and Converse.
i also usually not go for brands i just wear what i like but i wear some brands clothes also like Levis, armani, Mark Spencers
If the clothes fit and look good i will buy them regardless of the branding. Though when it comes to shoes, not many come in size 15 so I purchase Globe or DC.
