So I’m sick of supporting fast fashion and could really use some new clothes, especially jeans. I was inspired by the work wear post earlier however I think all the recommendations were US based which aren’t that useful for me in the UK. Any suggestions for brands or shops where I can get something which will last? I don’t mind paying significantly more for good quality if it’s actually good and not just a brand logo.

    Not really a suggestion - I don’t own any of their stuff - but I lately see lots of people wearing Strauss ( work clothes as well as casual) over here in Germany.

      I own a lot of Strauss stuff and am extremely happy with it. Shoes, trousers, shirts. Workwear or casual clothes it’s a bit less fashionable but A LOT longer lasting.

      I do however think it’s pretty boring, I love bandshirts and tees with printing on it commenting on coding or roleplay and of course they don’t have that. But i have to say my Strauss polo-shirts are still like new while my bandshirts are losing their prints and starting to get tiny holes.

      EDIT: oh shit! They offer prints and even embroidery now! Time to update my wardrobe!

      That sounds like an excellent idea, so on a similar note I could suggest to go to shops that sell clothes for kitchen professionals. I have owned plenty of those, mainly trousers. They are super comfy and they kinda last forever.
