Hello! I have an issue:
TLDR: I live in E Europe and would just like a site or app where I can shop for good quality, consistent, reliable, brandless, fashionless, timeless, standard, printless, good material, fairly priced clothes.
I usually like to buy bulk (2 long house jogger pants, 5 t-shirts of the same brand and form, just different basic colours, 2 black jeans, 7 pairs of socks of the same kind, 7 pairs of undies for example) and get it over with.
The closest i have found are C&A and H&M so far. I'd like even more simplicity and a bit better build quality.
"Fashion" conglomerate apps both second hand and new, contain the opposite of what i want in clothes: overpriced, varying quality, brand heavy, print/logo heavy, exotic cuts, weird colors, dated, impractical clothes.
I dont like needing to visit many generic online shops and flip the coin on build quality, and i dont like going to many online stores and finding the simple, honest clothing i like scattered one-three items on each brand.
I specifically want to avoid popular labels because that costs extra and the price is high for the label, not for the actual item of clothing.
Is there one app to unify this for me, or is there a company that just has fair prices and no fuss? And by no fuss, I also mean, i don't want some brand that sells me a white plain t-shirt for 100$ and makes this precious pageantry out of minimalism.
Sorry if i come off as bitter, but it's really difficult for me to just find simple stuff, and i am already fed up with it being such a chore after half a life. Simply because i have such simple requirements, its very difficult to find what i want.
Thank you in advance.
Have you tried Express?
I buy lots of their plain shirts which don’t have any branding and have great muted color choices (I like layering with flannels). They have great quality (I’ve owned most of mine for 4+ years), the colors maintain after washes, they don’t shrink, you can buy them in multi packs, they offer them in materials like performance tech, or my favorite linen. The sizes are also consistent I’ve found.
My jeans from them are INCREDIBLY comfy and have been very reliable and don’t tend to rip or break at seams.
Aren't they an american shop? It would be like $25 postage plus the customs charge and VAT, plus the import admin charges for schnitzelbub to get anything.
Hmmm, I had looked quickly to see if they were available there before I had commented, but upon googling and mapping further it does look like they’re state side. Which is frustrating because I figured they were based out of London since they post about European sizes and wares frequently.
For people state side they’re definitely a great option and hopefully there’s something like it over in the UK. Although IMO their clothing is worth the extra cost… it’s like Hugo boss without the history and for a bit less and with less logos.
