Veeky Forums users from europe have decided that we cant quite follow the sites recommendations from other continents for differences in the trends and mostly because of the enormous fees we would need to pay to get the items from those websites.
This general is open to (a lot of) improvement and would be a really big thing if it caught on.
OP note: this introduction needs much more work
shop list?
i know that what i can contribute is not much and not really popular but here it is nevertheless
lets get this started then!

Brave move OP.
I wonder how many Euros actually browse this board anyway. I'm certain most Brits are trapped within the /int/ containment thread. I'm curious to know where the non-Americans on this board are from.
Anyway, I'm English (although I live in France at the moment). Nearly everything you find on the highstreet is complete bullocks.

Most towns will be lucky to have a Topman. It's depressing stuff. I'm trying to buy quality made in UK/Europe clothing at the moment.
Private White VC
Albam
Thomas Percival
Grenson
Tricker's
Other Northampton-based shoe makers
Any other good brands I should look out for? What country are you from and what is the shops like?

Lurking from Italy
I've browsed Veeky Forums for five years. The vast vast majority of threads are American/Canadian based. There used to be fairly frequent Australian threads as well.
I love Italy. I've never seen so many dapper old men as when I was in Florence. I might get a cheap flight to Milan. I want to buy a boglioli or l.b.m. 1911 unstructured jacket.
Czech studying in northern UK. Everything said is true, the youth fashion culture there is abysmal. It's either basic topshop shit or vintage art hoes/fuccbois
There is a small hypebeast subculture in Prague, mostly surrounding Footshop which also does events where these people get together. Otherwise the best dressed people on the street will be rich tourists. Most people here don't really seem to bother too much about their fashion, and if they do it's just following the normie trends.
Where in the UK you studying? Prague is nice. The most Veeky Forums thing about it though is the architecture and surroundings.
Pic related.
Yep, the city is beautiful. I have met a few effay folks around, usually uni students, but they are a small minority
Huh, funnily enough I studied there (Halifax college) years ago. I recently went back with my gf to show her around. The town is good, the restaurants have really improved since I studied there. The sandwiches from browns are still good.
I imagine there's some stylish chinese students amongst the two billion that study there.
You're lucky to be living in York btw. Most other cities in the north are way way worse in terms of style.
>Huh, funnily enough I studied there (Halifax college) years ago
that's amazing lmao, I'm in James
>stylish chinese students
Well they know their hype brands, that's for sure. Bape seems to be the most popular, but they all wear the same style. For guys especially all-black with gold accents. There's a Kpop night in Revs every term, which always ends up being 90% Chinese folks so a good way to gauge that particular demographic
>Most other cities in the north are way way worse in terms of style.
Yep, visited Manc and Leeds too. Leeds is just a nightmare
Kek, did you ever go to Willow before they shut it down?
I went to the Willow in the glorious 2006-2009 era before it became a buzzfeed meme. Back then they actually served "proper" food until midnight. It was so weird.
>Grenson
Nowadays Grenson is mostly made in India tho.
That shirt is vintage by now.
Only went to the 2012 edition.
England
Dadcore I know, but I'm comfy as fuck in the summer.
>Not shown: banged up boat shoes

Trash thread neck yourself
Where to cop Euro leather shoes that are neither cheap shit nor out of reach for a student?
I only know Meermin.
google British northampton shoe makers. There's loads.
Grenson (one line)
Loake (1880 line)
Barker
Alfred Sergeant
Herring
Tricker's
Church's (although they've gone to shit a bit ever since they got bought out by Prada)
etc etc
Otherwise Carmina and Septieme Largeur are quality.
Go post in a worthless "is xx Veeky Forums?" thread you useless faggot.
UKfag here. Never been Veeky Forums in my life, I pretty much wear Jeans, shirt, hoodie and the same beat up trainers everywhere.
I've read the sticky but all I learned is colour theory that I knew from painting.
Anyway my question is what the fuck do I do? I just want to look 'unique' and have my own style but I pretty much only started buying my clothes a year ago when I left to Uni.
Buy decent basics first try to just buy what you need and spend more than 20 quid at h&m. No matter where you go in your style, these pieces will still be useful.
Black slim fit jeans.
Sneakers.
Good goodyear welted shoes shoes. (go Loake)
Plain shirts.
Plain Tee shirts (white tee shirt first)
A blazer (blue/brown)
A casual jacket
A wool coat
Cheers user, got the Blazer and suits stuff from 6th form still so I'm golden for that. I more or less have to buy all that other stuff though. Thanks for your help.
Glasgow reporting -
Im un-effay as fuck though, pls help.
Where can i go for decent stuff?
German reporting in. Sticking to net-a-porter mostly these days.
There's an End in Glasgow, wtf dude.
Paris here. Unfortunately you all are ugly, apart from milanese.
Frogs plz stop bullying my Scot neighbours. If I don't take their backs they'll probably stab me.
I'm British and I live in Paris. You are beautiful, much more so than us inbred islanders. But you are seriously ugly on the inside and you have no banter.
Also, everyone wears black/shades of grey here or that bcbg style of blue blue and more navy blue. Parisiens (at least the decently wealthy ones) dress well but play it SUPER safe. London is so diverse, which results in a lot of retarded looking people but sometimes it surprises you.
Even Germans have decent banter. My experience is Ireland/Netherlands/UK are top tier bants countries and everywhere else is below us. Some Poles are good but they're either top tier or shit tier
>Veeky Forums users from europe have decided that we cant quite follow the sites recommendations from other continents for differences in the trends and mostly because of the enormous fees we would need to pay to get the items from those websites.
europoors why are you trying to perpetuate stereotypes about yourselves?
good job, OP. Reporting from Sweden.
Northern Germany. Summer's about to end, autumn's around the corner, any recommendations for warm and comfy pants?
Based European brands.
Nigel Cabourn
Cheaney(footwear)
Loake(footwear)
Aigle(footwear and outerwear)
Hunter(rubber wellies)
Hansen(made in Denmark quality shirts - hansengarments.com
The Product(Norwegian basics in bamboo fibre/cotton mix, softest tees and underwear I ever had)
Blanc Essentials(Dutch brand that makes 3 products, sweater, white tshirt and black t - their tee's are the best basic white tee I found so far at a reasonable price).
Arktis Outdoors(UK based brand that makes stuff for the british army, good for terrorwave, milspo fits)
NN07 makes decent chinos at a good price point.
Norse projects bave some good basics, especially their tech knits are nice.
UK here. Confirmed everything on the high street is shite, getting something decent quality is annoyingly difficult and usually prohibitively expensive, why don't we make anything here anymore? We ought to make a comprehensive list of decent brands which make stuff in the UK or at least Europe nowadays. I only know of a few random ones really.
Barbour (the made in England coats - just the classic line I think) - good coats if you can get over toff-based associations. They recently introduced some "made for Japan" versions of the classic line which are interesting, with a slimmer cut and different colours, still made in Eng.
Original Montgomery - duffle coats made in England
Gloverall - same as above but twice as expensive
Solovair - original DM factory which still makes shoes here
Rufflander - boots made in Derbyshire. They make exact replicas of WWI era boots if you want to get trench foot in the most authentic manner possible.
Trakke - waxed rucksacks/messenger/bike bags made in Scotland
Cuillin Sacs - climbing/hiking backpacks
Aiguille Alpine - climbing/hiking backpacks with a lot of designs, some very nice, made in the Lake District. They make stuff to order usually so you can specify if you want added features, within reason
Those are what I can think of at the minute. Not all exactly Veeky Forums but they all make useful stuff.
can't find The Product on google, what's the name of their site?
Lurking from Czech republic, hope this thread catches on.
Anyway, COS had free shipping event going on. Ends 10sep
Central Germany here.
Being in the EU means that brands like MMM or Dries or Raf are a bit more accessible imo.
I got some mid to high fashion stores within a 50 km radius/1h train ride, which is neat.
I don't know much about brands that produce here in EU though, got a few online stores that I frequent, like verypoolish or menlook or tres bien etc.
outside my wagecuck uniform, I'm into simple fits with occasional statement pieces.
i like it but would look 10 times better if you had tan
Dutch guy here. I live in a city where half the high street consists of empty buildings and the other half is H&M quality shops. I'm exaggerating of course but there is very little of quality to be found. Just went out looking for trousers (pic related) and came back empty handed. If anyone has any recommendations as to where I could find trousers like these, I'd be very grateful.
Great suggestions. I would also recommend Arpenteur (French-made workwear type stuff)
merz b schwanen (tee shirts with different styles)
Wax London (British made clothing)
Carrier Company (Made in England workwear)
carriercompany.co.uk
Where do you live? Is London within travelling distance? Otherwise you're going to want to hit up the various online stores:
Asos (if you're a cheapass normie fuck)
Mr Porter
Oi Polloi
Matches
Coggles
Farfetch
Netherlands reporting in
Live in The Hague but go uni in Amsterdam
Amsterdam is nice for culture and shit but kind of underwhelming when it comes to stores desu. I don't really care too much about what other people are wearing but what I like about Amsterdam is that you can feel comfortable wearing whatever.
>Not wearing white socks with your sandals.
Do you even German?
Btw, if this thread dies a horrible death and is remade, It would be helpful to take this brands and put them in the OP.
>Where do you live?
Tilburg, south of the Netherlands. I might travel to London one day and shop around but for now I'll check online stores. Thanks for the recommendations user
Lovely, especially Carrier Company, definitely going to buy a load of stuff from them when I buy a house and can garden/have a fire.
>why don't we make anything here anymore?
Because normie cunts want their cheap shit, and lots of it. It's all our own fault.
Brands like Albam have proven that you can make stuff in the UK or Portugal and not be prohibitively expensive. I'm perfectly happy buying a jacket for 200 pounds from them knowing it was made here.
Ah sorry, for some reason I thought you lived in England. Derp. Anyway with the currency in the shitter, now is a good time to buy from British shops.
Yeah, you're right of course. 99% of people I know would balk at spending more than £100 on a "winter coat" – that they buy one of every year because they're shit quality/they get bored of them. They'd think I was retarded if they knew the coat I wear when it's cold cost £200+, despite the fact that I've worn it consistently for four years now and it shows no signs of wearing out. Girls will literally wear shoes to work every single day that hurt them and fuck their feet up, instead of spending even £60 for something decent.
I'm sure there are enough companies still making stuff here, it's just that because they're smaller they're harder to find.
Yeah, here in Paris people wear shitty cheap shoes all the time. It took a lot of convincing to get my gf to buy some decent goodyear welted shoes. I actually ended up buying them for her birthday. She realises now how much better they are than her Aldo-tier shoes.
crockett and jones
Why Urquel such a bitter piss? Can You recommend me some decent Czech beer?
Estonian here- fucking every male(not me tho) here walk with purse over the shoulder GAF. Pic related. My GF says they wear Always pads in it :)
lol why would you wear that. What else do need apart from a wallet/phone/keys?
Noticed the chavs around me started doing that (UK, I think I live in one of the few bastions which still has a large-ish chav community).
Don't know why they wear them, they have tons of pockets already since they always wear a windbreaker and tracksuit no matter the weather. They probably keep their weed in it and their change for when they're dealing come to think of it.
Even Zara decided to cash on it
zara.com
Been in Spain this summer- this extremely fashionable accessory can be seen on locals also.
Every shit-town in the UK has tons of chavs.
shut the fuck off subhuman cuck
perkele from finland:D
that was before I got myself some tabi socks. Those sandals are actually meant to be worn with socks.
kozel
Germany too. I even bought one myself, got to admit that they pretty handy in the summer, when it's too hot to carry my shit in my jacket. I don't like to have my wallet in my backpocket and it fits tobacco and my camera too.
Eastern Europe here, rather not state my country.
I wear Rick Owens and black clothes because it goes with the aesthetic of the communist blocs.
>muh brutalism
Is there a way to get pilotenstiefel boots without the anal rape shipping costs? I'm part of the EU and the shipping costs almost the price of the boots. I'm talking about the "almost new" condition.
Yeah, it's a fucking epidemic here in Croydon. Even the middle class 11 year olds walk around with them at school and shit like that. I don't get why you'd want to dress like a woman when you've already got 7 coats and a hoodie on like you said.
Meermin is best option for price/quality ratio desu
All the brands mentioned are "marginally better but much more expensive" tier.
> marginally better but much more expensive
Comparing Alfred Sargent or Trickers to Meermin is a joke.
I don't rate Meermin quality wise at all. Especially compared to Tricker's (in my experience). Meermin are also a pain in the arse because they don't have any stores anywhere, sizing always feels like a gamble. I bought a pair once due to the hype, didn't like the shape or size and sent them back.
Also the best quality to price ratio is Loake (the 1880 line). 200 pounds for these shoes is absolutely solid. I have had three pairs for about five years now.
I'd like to add Universal Works to the brand list for their outerwear.
Yeah I love their stuff. It's just outside of my price range sadly.
I'm a poorfag and I have two jackets/blazers and one of their N1 style winter jackets which I all copped on sale.
Jelly as fuck. You bought those direct or through a different site?
Actually looking at the site the prices aren't too bad at all. I must have been thinking of a different brand.
You got any fitpics?
Anyone from the Hague? Where the fuck do I shop for aesthetic clothes
Denmark checking in. Anyone here?
>theproduct
Do they deliver outside of scandinavia?
On and around noordeinde there are a bunch of nice boutiques but they are more expensive than the normie tier shops in the city center. Other than that, the hague is not too exciting to shop in imo
Speaking of Scandinavia, Notch has some pretty effay tie designs.
Why would you live in the Hague.
Our Legacy, Lemaire, Ami, Margaret Howell, E. Tautz, Marni, The Gigi, Barena, etc.
Tricker's and Crockett & Jones are the best bang-for-buck English/Northampton shoemakers.
what types of frames would look good on this guy in OP's Image? I sort of look like him
>All the brands mentioned are "marginally better but much more expensive" tier.
lmao, have you ever even handled a decent pair of shoes like Crockett & Jones? They are so much better than Meermin in every way. Better finishing, better leather, nicer last shapes, etc.
trickers are a bit of an aquired taste. Super popular in Japan as well for some reason. I just copped these in sale for 220 pounds (kafka).
What is in your picture?
Anything if you look like David Gandy. The P3 shape is nice and timeless style that works with most face shapes.
not him, but those are C&J Pembroke in burgundy. Trickers have the nicest chestnut calf. My favorites are Alfred Sargent, though. I really like their 109 last.
Their lasts are quite chunky and they are built like a tank. Great country brogues.
Crockett & Jones Pembroke in burgundy. My favourite pair of shoes.
I live right next to rijswijk and not by choice. EPO is right here
Hey guys
I'm looking for European equivalents to websites such as CRUVOIR (i.e. eshops specialised in avant garde labels)
Any suggestions ?
Love this one, some really nice stuff. Really enjoying discovering all these sites.
darklands berlin
seven helsinki
antonioli has lot of brands like that, though others as well
pnp firenze
Probably the most interesting thread on Veeky Forums ive seen yet. So many brands i didnt know existed with what seems to be high quality clothing sadly to a high quality price too.
>56%
German here, just making sure that alles in Ordnung ist
frenchcore is the most superiorest subdivision of europecore. its elegant, stylish, classic yet modern
