What to buy at Hugo Boss?

[hanker565]

I won a gift certificate to Hugo Boss - any suggestions on what to buy? I'd like to spend it on work clothes.

My wardrobe right now is mostly "better" stuff - Zegna, Truzzi, Brioni, etc.

Buy things that you wont be able to tell the difference in quality compared to what you already have. Sunglasses, fragrances...

I'd probably sell the Gift cert on ebay.

A couple of beater shirts? People say their pants fit well. Maybe a piece of outerwear you won't wear that often.

Then Boss will be a step (or two) down.

What about Hugo Boss ties?

I agree with this, if you're going to keep the GC. Or a whack of underwear and socks.

Ties or shirts, perhaps accessories.
OR
Give it as a gift.

They have some slim fit shirts. I had one that fit quite well but i ultimately didn't like the style...

The Boss Selection stuff is decent quality. I've never tried on a jacket that suited me, but it was always just a question of fit.

Thanks for the suggestions so far. I don't think I'm able to transfer the GC.

I might just pick up some cufflinks and pocket squares (if they have any?)

I'll also be sure to look at the Selection stuff.

From what I understand, their jackets are fused. I once bought a blazer from them (in Europe) and in a year, it started to droop and was unwearable.

I like their boxers.

I like BOSS Hugo Boss ties. Not the stupid slim ones, but I have some decent patterned and striped ones that makes really nice FIH knots, not too slim and not to wide. I have ties that I've paid 2x more for and I hate wearing them because they don't make knots as well as the few BOSS one's I have.

Their belts aren't bad.
