[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You have to pay more to get quality. Reiss, Theory, Rag & Bone, L’Agence...there are lots of nice clothes out there. But you’re not going to find them at the Ann Taylor price point.[/quote]

You are missing the point. Yes, if I spend a thousand dollars I can probably buy a quality outfit. But why are traditional reliable middle class brands cheap now? [/quote]

Because fast fashion and outsourcing textiles to China etc. Focus on more and changing styles every season as opposed to things that last. Businesses made the calculus that it's more effective for them to sell you a cheap shirt every year as opposed to a decent one every 5. Price was king for a long time and in the run to the bottom quality left. Planned obsolescence of clothes is the same as of appliances and other durable goods, its a nice business racket. 
And not you don't need to spend a thousand dollars. Just more than $20 on a shirt.  [/quote]

Ann Taylor shirts cost more than $20. And the issue of fast fashion and cheap China labor and materials affects "high quality" labels as well. I'm not convinced that spending more will give me higher quality clothes.[/quote]

Exactly.  Yesterday I was looking at a beautiful ted baker dress for $350.  I look at the material, it’s polyester/spandex.  Why on earth would I pay $350 for a polyester dress??[/quote]
