Emporio Armani Glasses, Takeru Glasses (lost them), Banana Republic, Giorgio Armani, Gap, Polo, Structure, Bean Pole (wtf?), couple sportbike racing sweaters, and a bunch of other no name brands.
I normally just wear jeans/khakis and a shirt.

Unlike most here, I don't wear many expensive clothes. I will only buy them if they're pretty close in price to something similar that isn't brand name.
I have tailored clothing (ie, suits) but that's about it. I typically have to get suits from a tailor because I'm quite slim at the waist but proportionally bigger in the shoulders than most guys. Other than that, I just buy right off the rack. I like Eddie Bauer and Gap clothes for guys (great sweaters and casual pants for the cold Canadian weather), but I don't buy there much. I pretty much just try clothes on and what looks good is what I buy. I have some DKNY clothing (courtesy of my Dad), some Calvin Klein, some Armani, but to be honest I don't see a SIGNIFICANT difference in those and less "prestigous" brands. Sure, they're often a bit better quality material, but not enough to warrant a price double, triple, or quadruple similar clothing.
As for what I look good in, if I want to dress up a bit but not wear a suit I take black pants, a turtleneck sweater (dark green or beige, generally) and slip a leather car coat (3/4 length) over it. Not overstated but generally nice-looking enough to get a second look.
For everyday wear, a pair of jeans and a t-shirt does it for me. If I'm at work and not having to do anything dirty, I'll wear a light-weight button up shirt with casual pants or something (or else a golf shirt of some sort).
I always wear a white shirt with a suit, without exception - I just make sure to pick ties that complement it (hard to do these days, I find). Suits are a strong point for me - I always get comments when I wear one.
If I had a lot of money, I might buy more expensive clothes but to be honest, I don't need it to look or feel good to me or to others. My brother buys a TON of expensive clothes and typically manages to look like a walking billboard as well as an ego-challenged wannabe (no offense, bro). I just don't need or want it....

So basically I have someone take care of what I look like when I dress up..

...and a pink hat? I think all those labels have gone to your head.
You can get Calvin's pants for 50p at the nearest market stall.
no offence intended

I can't believe (or maybe I can) how almost everyone refers to the labels ....you fashion victims!!
I just go for what I (or my girlfriend ;o) think looks okay on me. If it fits ok and if its good quality, I buy it. I don't even think of the label unless its plastered somewhere obvious.
I admit ...if it says 'Calvin's Kaks' - I won't touch it (call me a snob)!

i never wear any logos at all (except for the red tab on my jeans).... i wear plain shirts.. plain jackets... i think wearing logos is pretty stupid... why would i pay someone to be a walking advertisement... not cool
