I’ve heard always that it doesn’t matter the store but the quality of the item.
Do you have anything you’ve purchased or seen that is inexpensive but wonderful quality? Any examples? |

While it is true that many expensive clothing pieces aren’t any nicer than mid-range pieces, I don’t think there many inexpensive pieces of high quality. I will say there are some Macy’s Charter Club stretch poly pieces (shirt dress, button front blouse) in chain and other vaguely nautical/preppy prints are equal to J. Mclaughlin, but that is not really saying much. |

| I have a moderate clothing budget - and I have tended to buy higher end/higher quality pieces on eBay, the real real, and postmark. |

| Inexpensive items are usually cheaply made, with flimsy material and subpar construction. You’re looking for a unicorn, OP. |

| Poshmark — find brands that you like or search by material. Lots of treasures on there for a fraction of the retail cost. |

| How inexpensive? For basics, I find Universal Standard to be pretty good with some nice detailing, but they aren’t dirt cheap. They do go on sale frequently, though. |

| If you like a particular brand check out ebay - I have purchased some brand new pieces this way (Veronica Beard for one) at a fraction of the cost - like 80% off. |

Second hand is the way to go.
I used to really like Cable & Gauge knits available at Macys and even Ross, but I haven't seen those in a long time. |

| Better to buy high quality brands at discounted vendors like Rue La Lan or outlet stores. Or wait for seasonal sales. |

| Sadly, I think well made clothing at any price is a thing of the past. |

Unfortunately it’s the other way round. Much easier to find expensive pieces that seem bad quality  C
