I've started buying my clothes through Uniqlo when they have sales. On sale, it's like... incredibly affordable and so far the quality seems way above what's usually in my price range.
I used to go through so much fucking Old Navy because it was the cheapest place I could get work appropriate clothes. Shit falls apart within a year.
Seconded on Uniqlo. They seem to actually put effort into making it good and I have some stuff I bought from there seven years ago that still looks great today. Even their jeans beat out levi's and are selvedge (all for cheaper too!). What I recommend the most from them are: T-shirts, socks, underwear, jeans, chinos, chino shorts, and sweaters.
The one drawback is that they are only in major cities so if you're a broke MF living in bumfuck nowhere, you can't really try shit on yourself.
They also have secret special jeans that feel like sweatpants on the inside! I wear pants and flannels from Uniqlo. I also got a hoodie last year that's really nice! I need to try out their socks though, currently just have the cheapest socks I could get and they seem to form holes after like 6 months urgh.
I spent several months a few years ago buying up enough for a weeks wear (they’re expensive), and not only are they aappropriate for any weather, my feet and legs don’t hurt after a long shift standing up.
My extremely crunchy buddy hiked the whole ass at in one pair without washes but in my experience they tend to loose that cushyness after two days.
Another drawback: their stuff generally runs small, so if you're a typical :amerikkka: citizen you might struggle to find things that fit. Great quality tho
If you do live in bumfuck, NW, they have shipping but don't expect prime shipping speeds.
Get a cloth measuring tape and measure garments that fit you well and compare them to the sizing charts. I can't speak to their men's sizing charts but the women's are reliable enough and they've got a little slider indicator key for if it runs small or large.

Seriously, props to the Uniqlo workers.

Buy the thick woolly darn tough socks.

They’ve got the lifetime warranty too.

I usually wear a US men's medium. Any sizing tips?
