In today's society the fashion world is still what it is today as it was back in the days with minor arrangement when it come to the consumers and and customers. When shopping for clothes or fashion upgrade some people would say, it's a tough situation for owners of a botique shop or even department stores because the average shopper goes in to window shop to see if they want to buy some new items or if they are just passing time by looking.

Their are such things like smart shopping nad bad shopping, what I mean by that is you have a thing called quality vs lower quality when it come to buying clothes especially spending money on it. As a customer you have to have a certain mind frame on where to shop and how to shop when it come purchasing clothes. Here go a breakdown of different level of dept stores:

Wealthy Dept
Saks Fifth Avenue
Neiman Marcus

Upper Class Dept
Nordstorm's
Lord & Taylor
BloomingDales
Federated Dept. Stores

Middle Class Dept
Macy's
Dillard's

Lower Class Dept

K Mart
JC Penny
Kohl's

This is just a few to be exact, unless you get into the name brand designers like:
Gucci
Coogi
Chanel
Issey Miyake
Armani
Prada
Valentino
Anna Sui
Alexander Mc Queen
Christian Dior
Dolce & Gabbana
Yohji Yamamoto
Hugo Boss etc

Some shoppers understand the differece in quality vs a item that's on sale, because when you spend your hard earn money on your clothes it's an investment for the long run instead of buying a item that will not last for a month or two. Their are three levels of buying denim which is : Higher denim come from Japan, lower denim from Turkey,Jordan etc and medium denim come from Chima, now in history when you buy a poor constructed clothes that sew with lower quality material than 10 time out of 10 it will not last. As a shopper if you go in with the mentality that I am going to buy this mark down items instead of the high price item than you are basically cheating yourself and not really caring enough about yourself.

Buying lower qulity items because of the lower price is design to have you come back to spend more money instead of investing in high quality clothes that will last a long time and the more you understand what it takes to create the items you purchase you get much more out the higher price items vs the lower price items, For ex: Denim go through a process which is if the designer use japanese high end denom, then it's imported into the US and it go to the Cutting service, then it go to the embroidery dept. and then back to the contractor for cut and sew, and then it go to the wash facility for a 18 hr process each, which explain way high end denim cost that much as well as in the cut & sew garment when it come to the apparel industry as well.

DTG or Direct-to-Garment cost more than screenprinting in the t shirt industry because of the process and the ink to make the design. Remember less is not always the best route to goespecially when it come to buying your clothes or quality items period.
