quality, price or style?

Rank these three words as they relate to your menswear purchases. Also, pls state your age if you don't mind.

Re: quality, price or style?

Well, bearing in mind my response is based on the presumption that you get what you pay for, my order would be style, price, quality.

Re: quality, price or style?

if i like the way the clothes fit (all clothing designers are different, so sometimes just because something is your size, it may not fit the way you like it), i'll pay the price. so with that said... style, quality, and then price...

Re: quality, price or style?

i'd have to go with style first. it's most important how something will look on you. after that is quality followed by price. i think this way because the price will have to match the quality at the least. if its something well made and very nice, i'd expect it to maybe cost a little more. if it looks nice but is cheap and i don't think it'll last, then i'm not willing to dish out a lot for it.

Re: quality, price or style?

I would have to say style>price>quality.

When I shop for clothes, the first thing I want to know is if I look good when I am wearing it. There's no sense in buying clothing if you don't look good in it. The next thing I wonder is, can I afford it? If the pair of jeans is selling for $400, unless they make me look so good that they will earn me a new job that pays triple what I make now, it's not going to work. Once the first two criteria are met, I will then consider the quality of the item.

Naturally, given an unlimited budget, quality will take on an increased role.

Style
Price
Quality

So I usually have Express clothing. Looks upscale/trendy, is 'affordable', and lasts a couple weeks

Re: quality, price or style?

Quality, Quality, and then Quality for me. Age 48 and I've felt that way for decades.

Price is a binary consideration for me, and I only care about style in the sense that I don't want to look like a weirdo. (Fit is non-negotiable in that I *have* to be happy with it, but that's what I pay the tailors for.)
