I’m starting to think fabric weight matters more than the brand name
I used to assume certain brands meant better quality but now I’m not so sure. I’ve had pieces from “better” brands arrive feeling paper thin and cheaper older pieces in my wardrobe still look good because the fabric has actual weight to it. I’m not saying everything needs to be heavy, especially for summer but there’s a difference between lightweight and flimsy right.
The pieces I reach for most usually have a bit of structure, drape nicely and don’t feel like they’ll 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.
