All the replies must be from straight men, or fashion challenged men. I live in the San Francisco area. After one very large bonus, I treated myself to an Ermenegildo Zegna silk wool blazer, a Zegna tie and Zegna shirt. I bought these at Neiman Marcus, and the gay gentleman who put the colors together had epic taste in color combinations. There is another designer I discovered at Neiman's, which is ETRO. Their shirt fabrics and colors are exquisite. Another designer with unique clothes is Robert Graham. His shirt cuffs are a completely different pattern than the rest of the shirt. You can't go wrong with John Varvatos, and of course Versace. No gay man would ever go to a club without his Versace silk shirt on. Prada makes clothes which drape fabulously on a gay man as well. Kiton makes mens suits and jackets with such vibrant colors, you wonder how they do it. Most of Neiman Marcus, Saks 5th Avenue and Nodrstrom sales associates in San Francisco are gay. They know exactly how to make you Levis wearing frump a dumps look good.

Interesting suggestions, although those might be out of my price range. I actually scored a good deal on a pink Calvin Klein shirt for my father for Father's Day from Macy's, but these might be too high-end.
I know three gay men at the moment who I am close enough to to ask where they get their clothes, so I just did. One shops at Walmart and online and buys mostly jeans and plain t-shirts. One does like the Gap, Lands End, and event t-shirts. The third makes most of his own clothes. He's heavily into various --punk communities (steampunk, etc.) and costuming.
The point, which many people have made, is that everyone is an individual and has different clothing tastes that have nothing to do with their sexualities.
My oldest son is gay. He is about to turn 33 and he shops at Express because he is slim and their shirts come in slim and super slim. He also likes H&M and when he was younger he shopped at Abercrombie & Fitch a lot.
I have several gay friends whose tastes and styles are as varied as my straight friends. Some of them are fashionable and some are not at all/don't care. Some dress fratty, some more uptown-club-ish, some more flamboyant, some like gym rats, some hipster, some goth. All of them shop at a variety of stores, pretty much all of which are stores straight men shop at as well (including myself). Asking this topic is as broad as asking 'where do white men buy clothes?' or 'where do straight women buy shoes?'

I think Zara is an appealing brand to many gay men. The Spanish chain offers sleek, slim cut, Euro styles with a little extra decoration. H&M is cheaper and inferior but checks many of the same boxes.
