You fashionable people out there, help me find some info to help myself and my friends (that are boys) take better care of themselves in the comments. :)

Later days

Howdy folks,

Welcome to the internet. You might recognize me in such films like Windows ME and CS 1.6. This weeks episode goes over online shopping tips that i've picked up over the years.

Let me share with you guys the jewel of online shopping called

http://www.asos.com

some things to note here, asos is based out in the UK but they offer FREE WORLD WIDE SHIPPING. the only kicker is you will get NAILED by customs if you order more then 1 item. It's really hit or miss with getting dinged on customs. I've ordered 10 seperate items in one go before and nothing was hit with custom fees. On another occaision only ordering 4 items I racked up a $70 net customs bill. You win some you lose some. I'd start off slow and just order one item and you can build up from there.

The great thing about shopping online is that you get to see a lot of brands you don't normally see in stores around town like

-superdry
-gstar
-diesel
-jack&jones (they're starting to show up in j2 stores and boysco but are ridiculously overpriced).

another nice thing about this online store is that there is a WIDE variety of clothing options here. We're all growing up and are developing more sophisticated styles, so if your interested in widening your fashion pallet, have a browse through their sale sections.

asos has their own clothing brand too, which is comparable to H&M. A real thing you see on this website that you don't normally see on others, is that on some of the clothes, it will tell you what size the model is wearing, just in case your unsure. Also if you don't know how it will look in real life, most (if not all) clothes on here have a video of the model going down a runway to see how the piece of clothing fits.

tldr: http://www.asos.com UK based, free shipping, custom fees only orders over 1 item, lots of sales, cheaper brands ($) like H&M type clothing to higher end ($$$$) like J.Lindeberg, Paul Smith, and Alexander McQueen

Next weeks episode is we'll look at different styles of pants (NOT JEANS) that can be worn casually or in a more professional environment, and other blogs that you can use to influence your wardrobe. As hockey players we have bigger seats (larger legs, and butt muscles), so it might be bothersome finding that clean fit we try to achieve.

Feel free to post in this thread, I know Andy does a lot of shopping online, to ask questions or add content.
