I can no longer shop at my beloved Casual Male. I've shopped there for so many years, I don't know where to go now. The choices are overwhelming. I looked around a few big name department stores, but those clothes seemed like they were mostly for teenagers. Where does a skinny 40 something go?

I shop at Dillard's.

My husband is naturally skinny and is 45. I shop for him at Kohls dept store. Other stores that are decent are JcPennys, and Farm amd Fleet (I dont know if you have any of those stores)

Khol's, JC Penny, Belk, Macy's. You could even try out Ross or T.J. Maxx. My father is 45 and shops at Old Navy for their jeans. And sometimes they have good shirts too.

Your father is 45? You just made me feel old.

Several people have mentioned Kohl's to me though..I will definitely have to try them.

I love Kohls! I also shop at Banana Republic, Zara, Express, H&M and at local clothing stores around NYC.

in Australia! (I know, not much help)

Myers, David Jones, Roger David, depends on your style. Head to a Westfield and take your pick but I would go somewhere that has a bit of customer service.

I have vowed to never again walk into a Casual Male.

I think Kohls is a good choice, from what I've seen walking around d one with my wife, although I need tall lengths, so they may be limited. JC Penney has tall sizes, so that probably will be OK for me. I like Lands' End for catalog shopping.

NSV... was in Walmart the other day buying something else, and walked by the jeans. I wondered, 'Well, I'm down a bit... Let's see.' And I found a pair that fit well!!!! There was only one pair of 46-32, but I bought them! First time buying pants in a regular department store since like 2004ish!

Awww I'm sorry! If it makes you feel better, my dad lost 100 pounds in the last two years and is in the best shape of his life! He runs 5ks, lifts weights, and bikes. He even quit smoking. I hope to join him in all his athletic endeavors :] So just think, even past 45 it's not always too late to change your life and your health.

In Baton Rouge we have the Dillards Clearance center. I had the need for 3 days worth of buisiness casual clothes last week so I went in there. I got 2 pair of 42/32 slacks and 3 16 1/2 long sleve dress shirts for $68. By far the most fun I have had in a department store in the last 20 years,

Wow, that's cheap!

Also like Bass Pro - easy in & out with dressing rooms right in the middle of the clothing section. Most of the time I have been shopping in my closet from the last time I lost a lot of weight many years ago. So long ago, old navy still had heavy denim jeans... It so much more fun in the regular fellow section.

Butterthebean, funny question. The answer is "anywhere else". I've been up and down over the years and always enjoy those times where I did not have to pay the premium that Casual Male charges.

Amen. And the poor quality of the clothes.

I was a big Goodwill shopper for the first year. My sizes were changing so often, I hated spending $40 for a pair of jeans that was only going to fit me for a couple months. Same thing with shirts. I started at a XXL shirt and am now in Medium. From 40/42 waist to 32. I hated wearing baggy clothes and was elated to wear clothes that fit. $6 - $8 for a nice pair of Levi's and $4 for a nice shirt.

Annnnd ... you are also helping out an institution that does some good. Many may question that, but that is not a topic for discussion here. I donate my clothes back and buy some new(used) ones. I look and feel great and it works for me.

Now that my size has somewhat stabilized, I shop the department stores like Alex does.

Castiel ... oye!

Even past 45 ...

Better look out. If you get too close to me I might take a swipe at you with my cane!
