I buy a lot of "average quality" clothes and I find it sad and boring who can't afford a lot of expensive clothes but insists on buying them and always repeat the same 4 shirts and 2 jeans everyday
I stick to lower amounts of high quality clothes because they not only last longer but also look better, but last week I bought a ton of clothes from H&M, American Eagle, Urban, and Express for the summer, so now I have a nice mix
A mix of both. If it's something I know I won't be wearing less than a year from now, I'll go with a cheaper option. But I like splurging on sweaters that I know I'll wear for a long time, etc.
