Everlane ($ garbage), American Apparel ($ bad with new owners), Alternative ($$ so-so). Best shirts were the BDG brand ($ soft, last 4 years with weekly wear) at Urban Outfitters but they’ve been discontinued.
$$$ - A.P.C.
$$ - Naked and Famous, Muji
$ - Uniqlo U line
Pants are almost always a pain for me—I can’t do skinny jeans as my ass and thighs refuse to cooperate with the stick-leg cut. I opt for Buckle/Salvage jeans here—not those Affliction abominations with the bedazzled ass pockets, mind you. They make a few cuts that are a stretchy type of denim, and they’re amazing. Feels just like wearing a pair of pajama pants. I usually have a couple pairs to cycle through between laundry loads.
I rather like what Stitchfix and Trunk Club are doing. Trunk Club in particular but it's pretty expensive. They only do high-quality items and they're hand-picked by a stylist who knows your style & body-type to go with your existing wardrobe. I get much more use out of my Trunk Club items than I do others. But I stopped using TC because it's so expensive and I have a solid base wardrobe at this point and know how to add new items on my own every so often.
