The only thing I notice is that the Sale tab is on the left side now. Before (almost as recently as last week when I checked) it was on the right side. They definitely have more of a consistent sales section nowadays.
As I get older, the amount of money I'm willing to blow on a pair of pants in a cool fabric, or perhaps a unique sweater, goes high and higher. "I'd never spend more than 150...okay maybe 200...maybe 300, 350 max if it's cool enough..."
Early this year I got a great deal on some Nikes from Mr. Porter, that shipped free for a total under $40. For those that shop at Mr. Porter, is Free Shipping a rare occurrence? I have had my eye on [these Adidas](https://www.mrporter.com/en-us/mens/product/adidas-originals/shoes/low-top-sneakers/superstar-80s-leather-sneakers/45666037505069763) but the $10 shipping is making me hesitate. Being too frugal haha
I don't have those specific ones, but I really like the superstar 82/stan smith 80s in general. You can tell Adidas put a lot of thought and effort into their designs.
On shipping, I think a lot of people were using Mr Porter to try stuff on and then just return it. The cost for shipping is a recent effort to stop that.
Anyone have any recs for sneakers that look like this with this color?

I love the look but don't wear the last available size.
Imo Pharrell has branched out so much in recent years that I’m not sure human race still has that cool factor anymore. Shoes wise is aight. Bright yellow is almost exclusively summer, shorts kinda vibe (you can make it work in other occasions but that level of work will see better return on a different pair). But if the color is your thing definitely go for it. I have been eyeing on the deep blue pair for a while now too
This is the perfect shirt for my Violet Beauregarde Charlie and the Chocolate Factory Blueberry Girl fit: https://www.mrporter.com/en-gb/mens/product/maison-margiela/clothing/striped-shirts/oversized-padded-striped-matte-satin-overshirt/43769801096077779
(not gonna lie tho, this looks comfy as hell)
One thing that bugs me about this sub is that you can't even discuss relative value of things. Like not even saying "this is still too expensive," but rather saying "these are very expensive compared to this other thing which is better quality."
This sub is NOT about being frugal. It is about posting random sales. We could make this sub better by opening it up to better discussion about getting the most bang for your buck.

Just wait until you hear about r/trees or r/BootTooBig or r/YouSeeWhereThisIsGoing
what did you like about the sale? didn’t really find anything i liked. plus the few items on my wishlist weren’t as steeply discounted as last winter sale
Oh man, I got real excited. Added a bunch of stuff to my cart only to find out that most of those products were excluded from the promotion. Thanks anyway!
Gotcha. Found the email. Didn't include the Artek/Vitra stuff I was looking to buy. I'm glad I was able to snag what I did last year at 25% off. Can't help but feel like I should've just bought all of the pieces back then when the code was applicable to most products lol.

I have these and are honestly the perfect summer sneaker and im able to wear them all day walking without my heels eventually hurting.
Copped high quality workout gear that rarely goes on sale
- District vision glasses 30% off
- Nike Next% shoes 40%! off
- A bunch of shorts 40-60% off
- Speedgoats 40% off
These are killer deals IMO. Stoked
I hate to break it to you but you can get all this significantly cheaper on their own brand sales. Especially Nike has tons of sales with the Next % shoes for like $80
i actually appreciate that they’re working to keep junk and spam off this sub, unpaid. theres a lot of astroturfing from shitty insta brands and they take it down pretty quick.
it’s such a knee jerk reaction to shit on mods, but the mods here are pretty good at what they do imo
To be clear I have no problem with them I just think the frugality rule is cool but the auto ban seems harsh. Mr. Porter is fairly expensive compared to most other deals on this subreddit and I see how someone might have that initial reaction. Imo wouldn’t hurt to just ignore it rather than auto ban. But I don’t make the rules I just follow them 😂.
Before /u/IbrahimIsUsingReddit took up the mod responsibilities, there used to be even more of these comments, and they'd stay up for hours or even days and engender more toxic commentary within them. The increased visibility allowed many to group up together to brigade, mass downvote stuff and worse. They'd take it as encouragement and comment about frugality on every post.
The punishment is on the harsher side but its a deterrent. Plus lets not forget that the name of the sub is fashion. Fashion is inherently a luxury; anything beyond the basic clothes you need to live and do your job in is a luxury by definition, as it's not a necessity.
I completely disagree. How does someone complaining something is expensive and/or shouldn’t be posted here because it’s expensive in any way add to the conversation?
As someone who mostly shops at places like Saks or Mr Porter, the toxic attitude a ridiculous number of people have about people who can afford these kinds of clothes made me mostly stop visiting this sub. Like everything, it was a lot better on here before the pandemic.
Complaints about frugality will lead to a ban. 🙂
[The jacket lives on.](https://www.mrporter.com/en-us/mens/product/jcrew/clothing/lightweight-waterproof-jackets/paisley-print-fleece-jacket/1647597301918726)
I knew exactly which one before I clicked. 😂
it's the carpet one isnt it edit: y
whats the joke with the jacket
It’s kinda a Frugalmalefashion inside joke. This jacket was on sale at J.crew and it became popular and was spotted on a few folks.
The Las Vegas bellagio cigarette stained carpet jacket
It says this jacket is like wrapping yourself in a blanket. As an owner of this jacket I can tell you that is a lie.
Would you akin it more towards wrapping yourself up in a piece of musky Vegas Casino carpet?
It’s just stiff
That jacket so much drip. I mean that jacket has so much paint that has dripped on it.
[удалено]
Seriously. There’s over 18,000 items in sale lol.
just wait til 80% lol
For real, I’d rather miss out at 50% than buy it and see it at 80% later
Ive been tracking pieces for months and it's been like 1.5-2 years since an epic 80% off. But mr porter is totally due for one!
Yea foreal their sales the past two years are too mehhhh
big fan of John Smedley knitwear, picked up my fourth and fifth pieces in this sale!
Easiest for most on this sub is just to browse their house brand, Mr. P.
I would like to buy a pair of really nice chinos. My favorite pair are my Suitsupply Portos in Pure Cotton Khaki Color. Any recommendations here?
What's your budget? Incotex, officine generale, and NN07 are all really good imo but pricey
Same boat. What did you go for and how was it?
Nothing. Ended up buying chinos from Spier & Mackay.
let the games begin
Not 100% sure whether this is the beginning of THE sale or if it's just another sporadic one that they've started doing occasionally.
I think THE sale as UK has it too. UK site didn't have the random recent sales.

Mr. Porter never had a min for free ship, it's now 150. Noticed Nike is now 50 min.

There’s only one left!
I had them in my cart for 3 days, someone bought my size 15 minutes after posting yesterday. Hoping it was someone from here haha
Argh! Complaint about frugality
Uh oh
Tip: set your country before creating a cart. Had UK set instead of US and my entire cart was removed with the change.

Prolly the beginning. They hit 70 or 80%
If this is the graduating discount sale, how long is it typically between increased discounts?
Roughly every 2 weeks
Like 2 to 4 days iirc

SSENSE sale is better as usual.
I disagree, I found a lot more items that I want to buy from this sale than from ssense.
was hoping for some body and bath products
Really good sale. Seems like a lot of leftovers from last month’s 30% off summer sale. Company’s growing on me a lot, esp the quick delivery.
what did you like about the sale? didn’t really find anything i liked. plus the few items on my wishlist weren’t as steeply discounted as last winter sale
Birkenstocks for $100. Lot of discounted Peter Millar
oh shoot yeah youre right some good deals on birkenstocks
Anyone know when the END 25% VIP sale might happen? They used to have a Summer and a Fall one.
Opened my app and it’s offering me 30% off with VIPSALE code
Oh man, I got real excited. Added a bunch of stuff to my cart only to find out that most of those products were excluded from the promotion. Thanks anyway!
You have to use the link in the email to get to the specific sale items.

Yeah, sadly End’s sales don’t seem to include as many brands as they used two.
https://www.mrporter.com/mens/product/1647597287437496 I have these and are honestly the perfect summer sneaker and im able to wear them all day walking without my heels eventually hurting.
omg thanks for pointing these out, I've been eyeing these for months and waiting for a sale that I never thought would happen
[удалено]
i think they use the same lacing in their hiking shoes, i have friends that have hiked a lot in them and like them.
A few Tricker's shoes/boots at a decent price.
Bought the Grenson Leanders for 130
This is what they look like today https://ibb.co/DkNy673
Uhuhuh, no blocky no buyy

Source "just trust me bro"
Source: be a competent human being, use this thing called Google that’s free and look it up 😬
Make a post with all your big advice so that we can roast your small ass publically 😂😂
Nobody’s gonna start posting other sites until you tell us what you bought and how much you paid. Put up.
Is this more overpriced made in china crap? I'll wait till it gets to it's real fast fashion prices at 80% off
[удалено]
Damn sorry you're poor, dude
[удалено]
Hahahah
now im curious what he said
Tbh it wasn’t even a complaint as much as a comment. I think the ban is kinda harsh for frugality talk tbh.
Mods need something to do with all that free time.

I remember when Ibrahim used to just be an average frequent poster here. Glad he got promoted to mod, he's a real one!
Same! Big props to him and he really stepped up. That was a bad interim period in FMF history before he did.

Does anyone have a sense when the prices will be reduced even further?? Thx
