where do you guys buy your clothes

do you shop online from cheap shops like aliexpress or eBay and Amazon or do you go to thrift shops near you or do you go to proper stores like M&S and TK Maxx and Debenhams or do you go to cheaper ones like H&M and Matalan and Primark or what?

Best shops? (i.e. best quality and lowest price)

LOL same!! After hours of trying clothes on I feel as if I just completed a workout smh
You can just return them.. -.-
I buy mainly from primark for basics and eBay for bargains. Gotten a few things from everything5pounds.com and sometimes pick up stuff from forever 21, h&m and new look in sales.

EXACTLY it makes me not want to buy clothes

And I swear to god some changing rooms... What's so hard about installing some proper locks with high walls instead of these sh***y curtains which any old perv can whip open.. Feel so insecure my god...

First world problems to the max

EDIT: 0:30 my WORST nightmare

Topshop, River Island, New Look, ASOS, Whistles, Zara, Mango, Miss Selfridge, Next, Dorothy Perkins, Warehouse, Urban Outfitters, H&M, Monsoon, Allsaints, occasionally Very, M&S. All over the place, I'm really picky so I have to look everywhere before I find something I like lol

Don't really do it online, have a handful of times but it's a dangerous habit cause I can get quite out of control :tongue:

I don't go clothes shopping often, and when I do I spend <2 minutes in a store if I know I won't like anything.. I really get exhausted from it sometimes ://

Favourite shops:

Burton
Saltrock <3_<3
H&M
River Island
Peacocks is sometimes good for cheap stuff but not primark-cheap-quality.

M&S is good too but quite expensive.
Hate shopping but I prefer to try on before buying so I go like twice a year. Debenhams/John Lewis if I'm looking to buy something to last me a while (coat, nice shoes etc.), otherwise Urban Outfitters, American Eagle, Next, Blue Inc, Topman, JD for trainers.

When shopping with someone, I just ask them to stand where the slit is, problem solved :yy:

I wouldnt classify H&M as cheap.

Or TK Maxx as proper lol. I thought they just took all the surplus/wrongly made clothes and sold them cheap?

I meant cheap as in low-price

and H&M has clothes starting at £2 for a top

in stores like Marks and Spencers the same top would be like £7 - £10 !

The stuff they sell in TK Maxx is either surplus stock or last season. Not faulty.
eBay. The thought of wearing dead person clothes which I bought for 1/10 the retail price really makes me happy.

Is it? I've gotten loads of stuff from TK Maxx before and it's all well made there's nothing wrong with it...
Shoes are quite good too

got ones very similar to that for £9! But TK Maxx is everywhere and ... idk why i said it was proper lol but I think by that I meant that you see it everywhere like New Look and Forever 21 and stuff and its got stuff ranging from in the pennies to in the thousands so :/
