You Get What You Pay For
They say that cheap things eventually cost more. This is exactly how some
people feel about shopping at Forever 21. Of course, I'm talking about the
clothing brand that has kept growing and growing since 1984. Founded in
LA, California they now have locations in three of the six continents. You can’t fault its success, but its quality? That is a completely different thing.
Forever 21's marketing has always been based on made-in-the-USA
merchandise, but most product's pages indicate that they are imported. Are
we buying a lie? Or just bad quality clothing with a good price?
As a teenager, I don't resist the temptation of shopping "more for less", but I sometimes doubt if I should. Should we be spending our money on
clothing that we most likely won't be able to wear after 10-15 washes? Or,
would it be more intelligent to have less but better articles? Suppose that this also depends on what type of clothing you’re looking for. According to Washingtonian Magazine, you should always peruse the Love 21 area when shopping at this store. This collection is designed for an audience between 20 and 30 years old. That is the main reason why there is more emphasis on quality and fabric here. The Washingtonian also states that when buying jeans at Forever 21, we should be careful to not get denim-colored fabric which is what most of them are.
Forever 21 is as good as other brands, don't get me wrong. What I’m trying to say is that our entire closet shouldn’t be filled with clothes
from there. There are specific things that end up being worth a mark-up. (Ex: jeans, coats, shoes...) But if you ever need to buy
something quick for the weekend don't doubt that Forever 21 will have the
cheapest, and most trendy outfit for you. But yes, it will take you hours to
find it in those messy stores.
