How much are you willing to spend on quality clothing?

Sep 8, 2008 by FN's Shar Bareng

clothesbudget.jpgWe could go on and on about cheaper alternatives when it comes to clothing, but there are times when we have to set some premium on "investment pieces" like dresses, accessories, shoes, bags, denims, and blazers. These wardrobe investments last us a long time, use in several occasions, and mix and match with other pieces.

If you can't afford to buy designer pieces yet, there are shops like Zara, Topshop, Banana Republic, The Gap, Marks and Spencer, and Debenhams that offer good quality choices. Their items may cost more than you are usually willing to spend on, but investment pieces from these stores can last you longer and keep you updated as long as you select the right pieces that won't go out of style.


Would you be willing to buy items from these good labels on a regular basis? We’d like to know: how much are you ready to spend on clothes from high-street labels monthly?
