    People are recommending good European brands — which you should definitely check out! — but I’d like to also recommend buying second-hand.

    It’s cheaper, better for the environment, and you don’t have to worry about supporting American companies; Even if you buy from an American brand (Wrangler, Levi’s…), the money is going straight to a fellow European citizen and to whatever platform/website you buy it from, so you just have to make sure to use a European platform such as Vinted.

    It might not be as convenient as buying straight from the brand, but it is better.

      Can confirm. Of course you can’t really expect to always find the thing you are looking for, especially if you need a certain size. But I got lucky and found nice quality jeans on a very good deal for 9€.

          Yeah it was in a store in my city and originally the price was double that which was still very good. But they had a sale since they were probably wanting to get rid of stuff and everything was 50% off.
