hollyrenee said:Yeah, exactly. They justified spending $350 on a pair of jeans by arguing that the denim is of better quality, thus they will last longer and pay for themselves in the long run. The only problem with that is that within 6 months or so another trendy brand generally pops up and it is suddenly a must have. Then those super high-quality jeans that would last forever end up shunned to the back of the closet where they will sit and gather dust for all eternity.
As far as jeans go, those are acceptable to wear until holes are forming in them. So the quality argument is just an excuse to buy something trendy.
I have some 10$ jeans that have lasted me 10 years. I guess theirs last for 350 years.
But I don't mind paying 10 dollars for some new jeans once a decade.
