Where do you buy the majority of your casual clothing?

Jeans - Levi's - 3 pairs of 501s though I am eyeing some Blackhorse Lane jeans
Shirts - S&M for anything with buttons. T-shirts are a mix of misc. cotton ones and LuLuLemon
Shorts - I tend to wear my black running shorts in the summer. I have some JCF ones from a while ago but don't wear them much
Interesting to see the mix here. JCF still getting a lot of play.

I looked at my order history, and the 4 shirt order was from mid/late March. I'm guessing the three washed button downs were more of their "winter" style though two of them are really just the ol' standard red check shirts. One does have like deer on it or something, so that is likely a winter one. The Riviera was probably a hold over from the previous spring/summer. Those are interesting shirts, but very specific and a bit pricey for what they are and the likely limited wear rate (if you see someone you don't see often in it twice, they will notice), so I'm guessing they have a decent stockpile they need to rid themselves of each season.
Big caveat on final sales. They are truly final - no returns. You better only buy stuff that you know will fit, and that you know you like. I have enough of their clothes that I know what will work. The cheapness of the final sale has allowed me to take some chances though. I feel like their quality control has been shitty for the past couple of years leading to the same shirt/same size not fitting the same as others. All three of those washed shirts are slim fit mediums. The deer one is noticeably different in the fit. You'd think it was closer to the tailored fit. I got it for like $20-$25, so I can deal with not loving the fit. I would have returned it if it wasn't on final sale.

Jeans - BR, Bonobos and Lucky Brand
T-shirts and henleys - Buck Mason, Bonobos and jcrew
Button Shirts - BR, Bonobos, Jcrew and a couple from Grand Frank
Shorts - Bonobos (I like their slim fit shorts. Most brands are too wide in the legs for my taste). A few pairs of Lucky Brand Jorts (a fashion faux pas, I know)
Shoes - Crown Northampton, Oliver Cabell, Greats (I have a big weakness for minimalist sneakers) and Chuck Taylors.
Swim wear - Bonobos

My office started allowing jeans everyday so now my on and off duty wardrobe is the same. Macys, BB, Polo, BR, plus football and band t-shirts.
My daily uniform,regardless of situation, is chinos/jeans, polo/button down, and light unconstructed blazer. Shorts are worn infrequently but when I do they're cut off chinos from the same brands.

Depends on the kind of casual we're talking here.
My work allows pretty much anything, but I've started doing what I consider a more dressy casual (button-down shirts/polos/etc, with chinos or jeans mostly; no graphic t-shirts). For this, there's no real majority, but more of a mix of Gap, BR, Bonobos, JCrew, Target and Uniqlo. Denim is usually Levi's or Gustin.
Weekend casual, it's either BR Travelers or shorts from Target mostly. Shirts tend to be either band tshirts bought at concerts or shirts from my favorite sports teams (the Indians in baseball and Niners in football).

My casual wardrobe is all over the place tbh. I've got t-shirts from J.Crew and Lululemon, polos from Kent Wang and S&M, henleys and shorts and SS shirts from Target/Goodfellow, jeans from Levi's and Prana, chinos from Eddie Bauer, swimwear from Sundek. I guess Target predominates mostly by virtue of being cheap and convenient (I can try on and buy things in-person rather than ordering online like I have to do with most brands).Ben

A plurality of my weekend casual stuff comes from J.Crew. Hits the sweet spot of being a step up from low end (especially the Wallace and Barnes stuff) but not super expensive - shirts, jackets of various types, and casual sportcoats. For example, I’m wearing a Wallace and Barnes made-in-the-USA Type II selvedge trucker most days lately. I always get stuff on sale, of course...
Otherwise it’s miscellaneous but consistent - stand up shorts from Patagonia, Adidas BW Army or Onitsuka Tiger Colorado 85 sneakers, Levis 501 rigid shrink-to-fit denim. But J.Crew is the common thread for me.Mark

I see a some love on here for S&M shirts, which makes me think I need to give them a try. Especially now that Joe has indicated they are having a 10a. sale going on.
