Topman

[Dustcakeboy]

I know we have the Topshop thread but just in case we didn't have a Topman(I had a bituva search) I thought I'd start one...

...considering 90% of my wardrobe has been purchased there....*sigh*...can't wait for college/city/more shops!

My friend thinks I'm crazy because I order online from them and I don't try on the clothes first. Sadly I can't because they don't have a store in L.A.

 

[Dustcakeboy]

I never try on the clothes anymore! I know the sizing all too well!

 

[kahlilg]

Awesome!

Acutally they do sell Topman at Opening Sale in L.A. but it's just better to buy it offline.

So what have you actually bought from there? I've bought sunglasses a striped shirt, slacks, and 2 shirts from them. I love them but tell me why I bought 2 medium shirts and 1 is really small and the other 1 fits perfectly? Oh Topman! Only you could make that mistake and I would still love you.

 

[Dustcakeboy]

Mhm, they're sizing tends to f*ck itself up every now and again. For example, I have an XXS leather bomber, fits snugly.

Whereas I have an S Shirt and it's growing increasingly tighter. I'm gonna have to move onto medium, I just hope, what with all the skinny indie-boy attention, that they'll continue with normal sizes!

I daren't list what I've bought there....said list would be neverending...

can you order from the states online?? it's not letting me

 

[kahlilg]

I've done it before. Though I did have the problem with the telephone number. Is that yours as well?

 

[marcj]

^yeah like it's too many digits or something... then my credit card wont go through

 

[marcj]

and also- the website is so much cheaper than the Topman from Opening Ceremony... they ridiculously mark it up

 

[kahlilg]

what I did is I took the first 2 numbers off. It worked and it's not like they actually need to call me or anything. Sorry about the credit card thing though.

And yeah Opening Sale marks it up a WHOLE LOT, but I can understand why.

 

[marcj]

^it finally went through (fraud protection).... i posted all of the stuff in the shopaholics thread. im never buying topman at opening ceremony every again... i still can't get over the mark-up, something like 200%

I'm liking these shoes here...
too bad theres no delivery to Canada. I haven't see anything similar to this here.

[kahlilg]

What about these from ASOS.com? They're kinda similar and I think they ship to Canada.

 

[Dustcakeboy]

Nothing similar, really?

It feels so strange to hear since we're bombarded with them over here! Personally, I'm trying to single-handedly bring back the classic heeled shoe...with a twist of course.

 

[yourbestfriend]

I don't think i've run into them, maybe I haven't looked hard enough . Thanks for the link khalil.

I applaud people who can look original when solely shopping at Topman. I mean every 2nd person I see is wearing Topman .. not a lot of choice here and it does beat H&M I guess .

 

[Dustcakeboy]

^ It's v.hard, I do find it's of the utmost importance that one AVOID all the fluro/neon nonsense and some of the "graphic tees" type schtuff to prevent coming off like a walking advert.

I agree, their sizing is quite inconsistent. There are definite gems to be found from them, though.

Has anyone seen their Topman Design range? Some of the pieces are gorgeous.

 

[kahlilg]

Has anyone ever bought a jacket from them? I need one and I am looking at their jackets right now. Even though I love topmans styles, I definitely don't want to invest in something important like a jacket that turns out to be cheaply made.

 

[Dustcakeboy]

I've bought at least three.

Don't go for the graphic-patterned windbreakers as they are SYN-thetic. Terrible but I always buy em when they get cheeeeeeeap.

Their faux-leather jackets are nice.
