Do you have brand loyalty when it comes to clothes?

[eddy]

In my old age I pretty much stick with what I love and do not veer off once I find something good.  

For work clothes 90% of my wardrobe consists of 
land's end ponte dresses
j crew outlet clare cardigans
cole haan air wedges
limited exact stretch skinny pants


add random shells, statement necklaces and scarves and you have a million different outfits. 

What about you?

[Deleted]

No because many (most?) brands these days are unethical with the cheap fashion trends. I'm really trying to get better at this, so I mostly shop 2nd hand and/or am slowly doing my research about ethical brands. So I get what I can take and am not loyal to anything.

[Deleted]

Most of my wardrobe is from Talbots. Because they have a good selection of short fluffy sizes (aka woman petite). Which means that I can find pants that fit my fat ass but don't have to be hemmed and jackets that fit both my Hulk shoulders and my T-Rex arms. The I've had a few things fall apart sooner than I would like, but overall the quality is pretty good.

[nicbreeful]

Yep.

[hungrycaterpillar]

Right now I wear what is cheap and what fits because I am determined to get back to my pre pregnancy size.

[wambam]

Not really brand loyalty persay, but I that if I buy something at Limited or Ann Taylor, it's going to fit well and wash well and that's all I really care about. So I stick with that because it works.

But I'm not really into fashion. I wear basics 24/7

[ZoeHart]

Yes. But it has less to do with feeling loyal to a particular company and more about being lazy.
I know at certain stores exactly which sizes I need and that in certain styles there I need to go down a size. So I can shop online and not have to go into a store and try anything on. When I branch out and shop at new stores or stores I don't frequent, I never know what size to get.

[TamiTaylor]

I am only loyal to stores. All my clothes either come from Nordstrom or Target.

[miso]

Banana Republic Factory Store

[flex]

I shop a lot online with Loft. Because I know their stuff will fit without me having to try it on.

[my3boyz]

Most of my professional stuff is from the limited or Banana Republic Factory. I'm petite and they both have the petite sizes I need. Their clothes are neither dowdy like misses dept. store or too young like the Jr's dept. Most of my jeans are express and shorts are old navy.

[adhdfashion]

Nope, I don't care who made it. I either like it or I don't.

[agnes]

Not intentionally.

[averyjessup]

I stick to a couple of designers because I've found that it stays consistently the same and all pretty much goes together, mix and match style -- getting dressed for dummies, basically.

[cinnamoncox0]

I get 100% of my work pencil skirts from H&M and tops are a mix of H&M and TJMaxx/Marshalls if I'm lucky enough to find tops there.
Calvin Klein makes comfy heels as does Michael Kors. I'm on my feet most of the day so comfy but nice heels are a must.

[AutumnRose25]

My closet is 90% LOFT with the remainder split between band t-shirts from shows and Kirkland brand leggings.

[littlemermaid]

The majority of my wardrobe is from White House Black Market, Loft and Ann Taylor.

[auntie]

I have more LE clothing in my closet than the local Sears does. I yoyo, so I have almost as many sizes, too. When I branch out, I tend to find myself at Talbots for the same reasons @angryharpy, does. (DH thought I was wearing the same dress for 3 days straight this week; no, dude, I have it in 3 colors)

I'm persnickety about undies- Wacoal bras, Skimmies, and Jockey hi-kinis. I also buy Ryka athletic shoes whenever possible.

For dress clothes, I often make my own. My mother has tremendous luck at consignment and thrift stores. A couple years ago she picked me up a Burberry raincoat for $40. The lady at the shop even threw in a silk scarf that was donated with it because she felt badly charging so much.

[Doggy Mommy]

My new favorite work pants are from the gap (which I hadn't shopped at in about a decade). I love them and have 4 pairs now. Most of my tops come from anthropologie sales and jcrew sale cardigans. There's a knit blazer from Nordstrom that I love, and I got it in 3 colors when it was on sale. For boots, I've had luck with Sam Edelman and Lucky and have a tall and short pair of both. Still looking for that magical ballet flat that's comfortable and doesn't cost a fortune (both Frye flats and Tieks work great for my feet but are $$$!).

[stephm0188]

Not intentionally. When I find something that fits well, I buy it in as many colors as I can, especially for basics like pants and cardigans.

[Eagles]

Max Studio
Calvin Klein
Lucky Brand
Ralph Lauren (dresses)

Those four have never steered me wrong. Theory holds up very well. I'm a bargain and secondhand shopper as much as possible.

[rageragerage]

Elomi bras are my biggest loyalty. I like Seven and Kut jeans, but am willing to try others. Most stuff I wear comes from Nordstrom or Rack.

[abs]

Not anymore.

When I worked in retail my whole wardrobe came from that store.

After becoming a SAHM I mostly shopped at LOFT. Now I think their clothes suck and I have no idea where to shop anymore. I'm short so it's hard.

[pantsparty]

I think just with jeans - I have a few pairs of jeans from Forever 21, but mainly all my jeans come from AE. Everything else is fair game, I'm always looking for a deal.

[karmasabiotch]

I'm learning about clothes now that I seem to fit in sizes that regular stores sell. My budget is limited, but so far I seem to end up liking a lot of the Vera Wang stuff that they sell at Kohl's.

It's hard buying stuff because I don't know what size I will be from week to week. I keep waiting to go to turn to food for comfort and it hasn't happened. I feel like each pound I lose I should really get extra credit for because in the past I would have gained it. If it wasn't for all the loose flabby skin on my thighs and my ridicoulously large chest finding clothes would be fun for the first time in my life!

This but only for pants and jeans. I need long length so I jus order from Old Navy or Gap because I know my size and cuts. Everything else is fair game and I buy lots of it at thrift stores anyway.

[DotAndBuzz]

I'm pretty loyal to White House Black Market for nicer clothes. Like, if I need a new dress or skirt for an dressier/non-legging and knit top occasion, I can count on them to have something cute that fits me well.

Other than that, no, simply because I don't shop/update my wardrobe enough. I did just get some things at J.crew. I hadn't been there in YEARS, and was pleasantly surprised.

[gibbinator]

I mostly buy second hand. Although I shop at the same second hand chain 90% of the time.

[CloudBee]

Yes. But that's because I don't usually love going into clothing stores to shop. I mainly stick to a few tried and true brands that I can order online or just walk in and grab without trying on. I spend more on athletic clothes and jeans because fit and how they hold up in the wash is really important to me. Really basic tops and tees often come from Target or Walmart. I love the Danskin brand at Walmart for tees. The cotton holds up so well and doesn't lose shape in the dryer.

LLL, Athleta, Lucy Activewear, Adidas - workout clothes
7 For All Mankind, Uniqlo - jeans and casual pants
Express - dress pants (love their "short" length")
J Crew - shorts, blouses, tops
Joie, NYFJ, Target - blouses
Target, Walmart, J Crew - tees
Patagonia, Marmot, North Face - cold weather outerwear
Gap Body - bras
Wacoal - underwear

[Gato]

I am a lover of ThredUp because of ethical concerns, and it is so much cheaper.  I always to to their J.Crew section first, so I guess that's my biggest brand loyalty.  I also love Garnet Hill for everything - shoes, clothes, linens, and kid stuff - and would be sad to find out if any of that was produced in sweatshops.

ETA: and of course, as a Maine girl living 15 minutes from their headquarters, I shop LL Bean.
