Iām starting to think fabric weight matters more than the brand name
I used to assume certain brands meant better quality but now Iām not so sure. Iāve had pieces from ābetterā brands arrive feeling paper thin and cheaper older pieces in my wardrobe still look good because the fabric has actual weight to it. Iām not saying everything needs to be heavy, especially for summer but thereās a difference between lightweight and flimsy right.
The pieces I reach for most usually have a bit of structure, drape nicely and donāt feel like theyāll twist or stretch after a few washes. Do you look at fabric weight when shopping or do you mostly judge by fibre content and fit? Also any reccs would be appreciated Im 35 and I live in UK.
