[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Right on, OP. I stopped buying new clothes because they are such crap. My secondhand pieces are so much nicer (wide range of labels, but mostly 100% fabrics and some have garment union labels). The craftsmanship and quality are eons better than the garbage that's out today. [/quote] I agree - I do this too:) In other threads, women have mentioned Reiss & Boden for quality clothes that aren't entirely trend-driven. More solid colors than wacko prints, blouses/tops that aren't see through, etc. Plus, a good deal of Boden's clothes are machine washable. These brands are too expensive for me, so I buy these brands through the Poshmark site. You can get really great deals on things that have only been worn once or are actually brand-new. For work dresses, I like the Tahari line. It has some classic styles, and some of them even include sleeves(!) FYI, this line has some great options for slim petites. Earlier, someone wondered why in TH designers don't make blouses with darts anymore. I too would like to know the reasoning behind this. Is it all cost-driven, or do people honestly believe that women look great in boxy, shapeless clothes? Unfortunately, I think if you want darts nowadays you either have to shop vintage or pay big money for tailored clothes. [/quote]
