Where do men buy casual clothes?

DH looks great for work. He gets his shirts tailored. His shoes and cufflinks are things of beauty given tender loving care. The suits fit just right. He has a style and it works for him. He knows exactly where/how to shop for it.

Unfortunately he has become bit of a mess casually. It has escalated during the years of having small children do sicks on him and us not going out anywhere naice much.

He wants casual clothes for non-work time. He hasn't bought anything in ages, except for the odd jumper and jeans from Gap / M&S. He doesn't have a clue where/how to shop.

His clothes are ridiculously old because he simply does not shop. He is sick of feeling dowdy (or whatever the male equivalent is) but has confessed to feeling panicked at the thought of shopping for weekend/evening outfits.

I refuse to help. It would break our marriage. I have however kindly offered to seek MN wisdom.

So, where does a man in his forties buy his casual clothes?

Ralph Lauren. Mind you he shops there for smart too! (He hates smart and always always looks uncomfortable in smart clothes regardless.) Other than jeans which are Levi’s, he buys all his clothes from RL.
He doesn’t especially enjoy clothes shopping but will go twice a year at most to buy the job lot of everything they have in the colours he doesn’t already have or replace stuff he’s cooked in and stained. Why someone repeatedly cooks and ruins £80 basic T-shirts I will never understand…

My DH also tried StitchFix, with some good and some mixed results.
