As a male with absolutely no fashion sense but an occasional need to look presentable, I’ve always appreciated that you can get a free appointment with a personal stylist to help select your wardrobe. The cost is of course baked into the price of the clothing, but it is going to be quality stuff that lasts for a long time and be comfortable.

This is some really solid advice, thanks Buildsjets. I'm gonna give this a try sometime.

Saks used to have a men's store in San Francisco where you could just get a guy to dress you. Barney's men's department was good, too. Unfortunately these are long gone. There is an overall lack of places for a man to buy clothes in American cities. I've noticed when I am abroad there seem to be more.

Heimie's Haberdashery in Saint Paul still offers this sort of personal styling, and they offer tailoring as well. Definitely worth a stop if you're in the Twin Cities.

Bonobos has guide stores with stylists in them. If you need that kind of clothing it can work out pretty well. It's a completely different price range to Saks though.

I'm a bit skeptical that a department store was ever a great option for that, Maybe once upon a time. Aside from a one shop tailor, I'd look to small chains oriented around men's clothing like J Banks, J Press, and so forth at this point.

My experience in Europe has been that the men’s clothing department is, at most, 20% of the store space. Alongside multiple floors dedicated to women’s clothing.

An underappreciated upside of having a partner with fashion sense.

we need a Nordstrom rep with fashion sense to help us acquire a partner with fashion sense (also sometimes the partner with fashion sense thinks flashy branded things are handsome instead of marine layer clothes)
