I grab my everyday basics here - tees, chinos and the odd pair of trainers. Nothing fancy, but the prices at the East Rand Mr Price make it hard to argue, and the stuff holds up for work.
Mr Price
When I need a proper shirt and trousers for an interview or a meeting, this is where I go. Cuts and fabrics are better than the rest, and a Truworths sale can get a full outfit at a fair price.
Truworths
Solid everyday menswear that actually lasts - work shirts, jackets and the trousers I don't mind wearing all week. The prices are better than you'd expect for how the quality holds up.
Markham
The price-per-wear here is unbeatable. Cotton tees, work jeans and chinos that don't fall apart after a couple of washes - Pep is my default when I'm just filling the wardrobe on a budget.
Pep
Go-to for sneakers and the occasional streetwear piece. Range and prices make sense on the East Rand, and the fittings at Sportscene tend to run true so returns are a rare pain.
Sportscene
Proudly South African sneakers I actually wear out. The quality holds up, they're comfortable and supporting a local brand feels right. When I want something that's genuinely ours and still looks sharp, this is where it starts.

A proper reminder that SA style has roots - heritage wear carries pride, craftsmanship and a story you can actually feel when you wear it. Support the local makers.
