Hello marketing friend. When shopping clothes, I pay attention to the quality of the clothes as well as the price. I don't like to buy too expensive clothes. I love to buy clothes from franchised store for special brands because these shops give discount on quite a few clothes that do not have the series of size. I am glad that I can always buy good and quality clothes at a discount at special brand shops. I don't like to buy clothes from the Internet as I love to see the clothes in person so that I can see them and compare them. Anyway I wish you to enjoy the way you do clothes shopping.

On clothes? I prefer to buy those with good quality. Your husband is right, those clothes that can be buy on the internet may be cheap but no guarantee of its good quality. Sometimes, it might not look good when you see the actual or the fitting may not be nice on you. Unlike those clothes that you shop on malls which you can try it on. Consider many things when buying clothes. 1. Quality 2. Fitting 3. Price There are clothes now that are not branded, but it has a good quality. Be keen with the kind of cloth and the damage, if any. Consider that a certain clothing may be cheap, but the quality is not that good, it is still a waste of money.

Hi Marketing, If I was buying a coat to last me more than a season I would go for quality and for a classic style, if it were just for fashion and for one winter season I wouldn't worry too much on the quality and get the cheapest one that I lkied that done the job of looking good and keeping me warm. Huggles. Ellie :D

I tend to go for middle of line type of clothes. It doesn't have to be the best quality or the highest prices, but I'm shopping for something I know I'll get a lot of use out of, then I don't mind paying a little more.

I definitely care about quality. Say for example you have a choice between a good quality coat that will keep you warm and a cool looking coat that won't really keep you that warm. I would definitely go with the one that would keep me warm because what's the point of looking good if you're just going to get sick? Quality is definitely important, but if the price is too much then I would look somewhere else.

Hi there marketing07! When shopping for clothes or any item for that matter, quality is my priority. I am not much of a price-conscious buyer. I would be willing to spend more for products that are of good quality. Besides, if the product is of good quality, I am sure that it will last a long time and therefore, get to save in the long run. Of course, fashion matters too. Thus, if I can get quality and good fashion in the items I buy, that would be great!

I personly just buy clothes that I really like. They would usually be of fashion but I do not mind if their quality or not. If I like something I will buy it. If it is a cheaper item. Check the quality of clothes. Make sure they don't stretch too much, and make sure the material is of good quality. Not all fashionable clothes were meant for everybody, so find the clothes that are right for you. A really good way to tell real from fake designer clothes is seeing if the patterns are matched at the seams. A knockoff will not have this, because it is wasteful of fabric and more time consuming. Good quality scarves are hand rolled and hand stitched. Cheap clothes really make for a bad long-term investment, but if your into fashion in a big way and if a new style comes in and your older stuff is out for you, then it is great idea to buy cheap. Likewise, paying extra for a durable piece of clothing you "can wear year after year after year," even if you retire it for a season or two, teaches a related lesson: that while you can sometimes find decent inexpensive clothes, higher-end clothing often pays for itself with longevity.

Both are important to me, quality and fashion. A coat is an important purchase, I only shop online at QVC. That way I can look at the reviews from people who have bought the item to see if there is any common problems or praises.

i definately look for the quality in the clothes i shop for... imagine buying an expensive brand of trousers or shirt and then later finding out that in one or two washes the colour has faded or there is an actual hole in it... there has to be some quality of the product that we are buying and paying our hard earned money for...sometimes i think i would rather buy something that isnt branded but is good in quality..... that way ill have a dress which lasts longer and i get my moneys worth

Clothes is one thing I never buy on the internet. I prefer to touch and feel the item to gauge its quality before I decide whether I should buy it. Quality is important to me when buying clothes, especially the nature of the material, its feel and texture, and the standard of the sewing. Sometimes the cut matters too, and sizes can vary depending on the manufacturer. Usually you get what you pay for, and the better quality clothes necessarily cost more most times. That doesn't mean I buy very expensive clothes. I usually wait for sales to buy better quality clothes at a discount or reasonable price, and I am satisfied with what I get for the money I pay.

yes, i prefer something comfortable and i am not brand conscious. However, if the price for quality is way too high then i will give it a miss and settle for something less. It is good to shop online too cos you can get quite a good bargain there if u are lucking. normally i would buy my clothings during sales or reduction and not during their normal prices cos i think it is not worth it and i dun bother about my outlook so i can shop for them only when necessary

It depends. Some on line stores are professional, what they are selling is both good at looking and quality. And the customer service is also good. Ihave many friends who shop on line for sneakers. Most of the shoes are not bad, but some are not the same with the pics.

The precondition that i would buy clothes is whether the quality are good , and second whether they look nice. I aslo don't like buy clothes on line. I experienced that I bought a mobile phone on line, and it was very cheap, at least much cheaper than the shop's outside. But, the quality is very bad , it broken just a month later, and i had to sold it to the second-hand buyer. So, i think you know my answer.
