Hello viners,
Wanted your opinion guys. Does it make sense to buy expensive clothes from the likes of Uniqlo, Zara, Marks and Spencer? Or it is just a marketing gimmick and one should infact buy online for reasonable (read cheaper) prices? Want to understand the reality here.
My Rapido bhaiya told me a very nice thing, "Hum mehnge kapde khareedte hai to, subconsciously unka zyada acha dhyan bhi rakhte hai. Zyada pehente bhi nahi unko. So we think ki kapde ki quality bhi achi hai. But agar cheaper kapdo ko bhi usi care se rakhoge to Utne din chalenge"
Shit made sense at 10PM in night and I still remember it past ~1 year.
Moreover all these brand manufacture these clothes from your local factories in India and Bangladesh. The extra you pay is only for the label. Go to local shops, you'll be able to get better fits and same product for better price(atleast for clothes and accessories)
I used to work for a startup in the fashion industry. Have done a few shoots of factories that belonged to some of our clients. That's when an owner disclosed that international clothing brands purchase tops around ₹250-₹350 which are later sold at a price around $35-$45. This was in 2019.
Bhai Uniqlo is worth the money
I got 3k sweater (no discount) I legit died paying full amount
But that thinnest sweater warms more than two wool layers - best investment
Marks & Spencer is shit
I've been using Uniqlo since years and it's worth every rupee. I've never been wowed by socks for example like how I felt after wearing Uniqlo's socks!!
Uniqlo best
Be fit. Wear clothes from decathlon for casual occasions. White shirt and blue jeans are always a classic. These look good only if one is fit. It’s not necessary that you need to spend a ton for these clothes. A decent pair of jeans cost you 700 bucks and a shirt might cost you around 800-900. Buy these clothes when there are offers.
Honestly. If one is fit, any clothing on them looks good. So spend money on your fitness. Any clothing on you will make you look automatically fit
Expensive branded pieces make sense only for specialised requirements (like a winter jacket). For day to day use I go with mid-range ones from the Internet. Once in a while I try out new brands but never the expensive ones. You are paying higher to these brands so that they can cover the mall rent and celebrity endorsement costs - doesn’t really make sense
Buy whatever you like, some labels come with subtle feel good factor.
There's too much inconsistency and physical effort required to source good quality items from local market, buying from a brand is like taking a mental shortcut to make decisions.
I haven't got any of the brands mentioned here. Never bought them. I mostly end up purchasing stuff on my overseas trips (budget ones with country specific prints) and also get a lot of shirts from my office which are non branded or custom made and pretty good quality.
Otherwise I buy Roadster and quite like the quality. Allen Solly, Van Heusen and Louis Philippe are the others i usually buy

Beware of the advertising bubble that's pushing us to buy expensive clothes.
In limited quantity, worth. U can try wearing daily like stress testing for a piece of clothing in each brand and figure it out yourself. Else some YT browsing maybe
I’ve lost 15 kgs+ and I haven’t bought anything in last 2 years. Was saving up for the day I become fit.

I’ve always had this question on why Indians are very stingy when it comes to paying money for premium products. I agree there are Indians especially in the young generation who aren’t shy from spending for quality products but the masse...
