@@yungjose3369 If you genuinely think Zara “clears” RL, you’re completely clueless about style. Zara is just fast fashion cheap and forgettable.

When you can’t tell the difference between a trend and a legacy, it’s clear you need a serious lesson in real style.
Seconding this. I may be broke but their baggy jeans are my absolute favorite pants that I own, way better than the abercrombie, UO, and uniqlo stuff that I have.
I feel that people tend to confuse gap factory with gap, and yeah gap quality is crazy good I think people just have there factory store confused with there main store. Also there fits on things recently are catching up to the times! I recommend for yall to check out there oversize hoodies and zip ups if you haven’t for this season.
depends what pieces you buy, their hoodies and tops in general have been great quality for the price I buy at. Only essentials though, not any of the overpriced 'high end' stuff.
@@MrRicardVanNordstramNot as cheap as it should be, as their construction is getting shittier bit by bit, while the price is getting higher and higher.
@@Marnige Maybe not at the expense of human rights eh? besides Zara prices have gone up steadily and their quality is dogshit even for that price range, let's normalize not creating a million different designs to follow trends and instead produce cheap affordable basics like Uniqlo
i like the format because it gives me a quick glimpse into brands i'm not familiar with. i would change the 'trash' category to 'not for me' because some people can't afford issey mitake or fear of god. trash is a little harsh if those are the only brands people can afford. but overall great job tim!
I could say a million things about this, but really, I think ranking this many brands at once is almost impossible. Some brands are good in one area, abysmal in others. Some brands peddle what I'd call trash relative to the price (Essentials), but some people are fine with the quality because they're buying the aesthetic, so to each their own. Some brands I'd like to load into a cannon and shoot into the sun (Shein, Zara, etc.). Some brands are still basically fast fashion but can offer fair value for money (Uniqlo, Muji, COS, Arket). Some brands are an octopus with many legs/brands, and differences in quality among them (Polo vs Purple Label vs RRL). Some brands live squarely in department store purgatory, and aren't very good in quality but can be decently high-utility for the price when on sale (CK, DKNY). Some brands are only somewhat above mid, largely overpriced, masquerading as luxury, or "affordable luxury" (Reiss, Sandro, Allsaints). Some brands just sort of are what they are, and aren't extraordinary, but don't really try to fool anyone (Suitsupply, Massimo Dutti). Some brands are riding a wave of hype I don't think they deserve (Abercrombie). Some brands are putting out really solid, albeit pricey clothing (Lemaire, Studio Nicholson, Marni, Our Legacy, ALD, Nanushka). Some brands need to figure out what/who they are now (Off-White, Supreme, Kenzo). Some stuff is straight up designer in my eyes, meaning that if you're buying it, you know the markup is wild, but you don't care (Loewe, Jaquemus, Bottega, Kapital). Some brands I don't know what to think of anymore (Jil Sander). Some legends will never die (Rick, Issey). All in all everyone has to weigh quality (not always easy to identify), price, design, etc. for themselves
@@KritimBista-bb5vu I don't have a ton of experience wearing their stuff, but from what I've seen it's well thought out, construction is decent, and I think their designs lately are overall really nice. If I were buying it I'd probably stick to the pieces that are 100% cotton, or 100% wool, etc., unless it's a technical garment.
@@arty_lerry7730 it shouldn't be though. the video title is "ranking clothing brands from best to worst." it seems like tim is sorting the tier list based on if he buys from the brand or not. objectively, zara shouldn't be in the same tier with cos, kapital, etc.
@@for_nothing_important well yeah. He's making video based on his prefference. Not on some colective sales data. For me all those "fashion houses and runways" are trash brands. But for him it's outstanding. I'd never buy from anything fashion related. Loro piana for example is supposedly some god tier brand. But I'd never buy anything from them. So they trash to me. I buy mostly SuitSupply stuff. They fit me the best and look the best and have good/best quality. In my opinion.
Yeah, names are useful but the tier list is very messy and confusing. Too many variables such as design, materials and craftsmanship. The best one did Gentleman's Gazette but reviewing streetwear is very problematic considering the repetitive designs, trashy materials and lack of craftsmanship. I mean Zara above Ralph Lauren? The only advantage of zara is that it copies bigger brands and is cheap. Zara doesn't deserve any place in the ranking, and being placed higher than a brand from the pool that it copies is simply disgusting.
RL Polo in mid is wild!! They literally have just about everything you'd want that you would get from someone else. Polo is always a buy unless you just want to try another brand but theres nothing they dont have.
should have disclosed for the newcomers on here that in the same way massimo dutti is zara's "higher end" line, COS is h&m's "higher end" line. still priced within the premium high street tier.
Not anymore....the quality is decreasing then 10 years ago...and i was their loyal customers back then and still have many their clothes that have better qualities then todays uniqlo with the same articles
Reiss and Ralph ranked mid is criminal, considering Ralph has purple label where the quality of the fabrics is much higher and Reiss is similar in some styles to Ralph but slightly cheaper and their fabric blend percentage is still really good, but you rank other brands lower in quality like Uniqlo and Zara (Zara does have some good quality items but not enough) which are ranked higher 🤨 This was more based/ biased on what style you like rather than price and quality.
I wouldn't put Calvin Klein in the trash! If you're into a tailored fit, Calving Klein knows how to cut the garment for a tailored fit. Even women's dresses are well fitted.
Mate, it's like you read my mind. Just finished with improving my ' basics' wardrobe with a bunch of uniqlo stuff, and now trying to move towards standout pieces. This is exactly what i needed. thank youuuuu
I gotta say (and this should be very obvious to anyone watching) that this list is VERY biased. I think this list is probably fairly accurate to anyone going for a similar aesthetic of style. Tim is halfway between streetwear and minimalist fashion. If that’s your cup of tea, you probably agree with him. Personally, I tend to wear a lot of office casual pieces (not a single T-shirt or pair of baggy jeans in my wardrobe) because of the line of work I’m in. My list would look RADICALLY different. Banana Republic is at the top of my list with affordable quality pieces.
Massimo Dutti pieces are very good quality. I’m a broke 10th grader so I can’t afford a lot of stuff even from there, but when I wanna treat myself with something nice, I go there. Got myself 2 QUALITY T-shirts, black and white. 30€ each but I say it’s absolutely worth it since I don’t have Uniqlo stores in my country. Also got a quarter zip sweater which I love
Thank you so much for this video! I’ve been trying to make a list of brands like this by my self for quite some time now, but I always end up finding the same, boring brands, get frustrated and abort the mission. Having all those brands presented and rated by you is so helpful ♥️
Thanks Big Tim. You put me onto my whole closet since your first white shirt vid in 2018. this is exactly the video i needed to get me on game for the next few years. Appreciate you
@@CNote415 still isn’t as high quality as RL. It’s weird to put Massimo Duti in the same tier as A&F even though he said he doesn’t wear it much, but put RL in the tier below when he said earlier it was basically the same vein as massimo duti. RL is high quality. I don’t wear it anymore but I used to, labeling the brand mid is crazy.
The fact Gap is so far down and Uniqlo and Zara so far up + the fact brands like Patagonia, Carhartt, Dickies etc. are not even in the conversation go to show this list is highly subjective and of very little use for the viewers. The criteria behind categories like «Trash» and «would buy» are way too mysterious anyway. The main criteria that should really matter are design + durability.
Would have been quite helpful if you mentioned the fabric and build quality of the brands in this lists so we could sort of personalize it based on our style preference. But, a really helpful video nonetheless 💪🏽
he probably doesent even know the fabrics, he ranks based on what he hears and sees from others, dont expect to find any unique opinions and takes here
not a fan of this format tbh. one thing I like about your videos is that they're always positive (try this, try that, get inspired by this, etc), but this format forces you to be negative (this is trash, this is bad, you look ugly if you wear this) someone who could only afford Primark/River Island/etc wouldn't feel as uplifted by these videos as they would from your other content
Hollister should be in would buy section for tall people because as tall person their clothes fits me very well. Hollister has a lot of comfortable graphic hoodies, I love the hoodies. In the past they had a lot of unique caps that I get compliments on.
Loved the list, didnt agree with RL, personally think Kenzo is way better than their reputation, but enjoyed your reasoning and general insights. Strong agree FOG Essentials is much better than people think, too. Missed Yohji / Y3, Balenciaga, and Burberry especially. Where would you put those?
Format video was awesome!!! Yes bring more of this type. It does help a lot when narrowing down the list of trustworthy brands that do care about the us investors of their brands
This video was great! One thing I struggle with is knowing where to shop for shapes and textures I’m looking for and this named a bunch of brands I can look into. Thanks!
GAP quality (cut, material, steam and stitch) is much better than Uniqlo and Zara. Not trendy nor fashionable, but nothing less than Uniqlo. For instance, wearing GAP oversized tee and tank top make Uniqlo ones feel like trash.
While Issey Miyake does have some exclusive items for the domestic Japanese market, most of their accessible clothing are just polyester synthetic fabrics made in the Philippines. By this standard, COMME des GARÇONS offer much more diverse lines, available to wider demographics, and often made with better craftsmanship.
I loved the premise and the idea of this video but honestly the reasoning for the placements really threw me and seems like a lot of the viewers off. Some of it was based on personal aesthtic. Some of it was based on quality of their items in general. Some of it was because of historic allure. Super confusing tbh
Nice little trip that was, the Marni store had us both tempted. But bro was low key ready to buy some swimming shorts from Primark don't forget loool. Would be sick to see an "up and coming / smaller brands" version of this video too man
I think alot of people need to realise this is ‘opinion’ based not facts, fashion is individual, some people may say Levi’s is goated for longevity, some people might have Abercombie goated for it’s affordability.. Solid list Tim, I don’t agree with all of it but great video as usual, love. 👏
Could you do a budget version of these? I'd appreciate it as someone getting into fashion, but can't justify the price tag of hire end brands yet. Thanks!
Maybe I haven’t seen it, but maybe a series of brands for each type of clothes would be amazing. For shirts, pants, etc, maybe not to deep but it could help those like me who pretty much know less than nothing
I highly disagree with Abercrombie. Honestly, I’d put it at “Would buy” at most. Don’t get me wrong, I really like and own a lot of their stuff, like their jeans and shorts. But overall, their clothes tend to be way lower quality that what you’re paying for and their sizing is completely unreliable a lot of times, specially when it comes to shirts (most of the time they run super long).
Even after the recent rebranding, I’m still deciding on leaving A&F to my high school days (the 90s). Over and over, I’ve tried to give them a chance. Everything just looks better on the hanger than on me.
Great video , I would probably take a deeper dive and do another video. Split the brands up by Category such as Fast Fashion, street , tailored and high fashion luxury. Then rank them worst to 1st , bases on your opinion. Thanks !
Saalt Studio is so sick, Tim thanks for putting me on to them. i was lucky enough to get the pre orders for the oat hoodies, sadly missed the Crochet Hoodie drop but definitely got in on the latest drop and picked up the Charcoal Ornate Work Pants, and both Cardigans. Checking the delivery updates 5 times a day. cant wait till they arrive. Would have liked to buy all the colour ways of the jeans too but since there such a staple peice i couldnt justify buying all 3. but if i was a millionaire you bet your arse i would of.
Honestly, watching the disrespect of Ralph Lauren on here made me stop watching and possibly rethinking of ever watching these videos again from this fashion UA-camr
Two weeks ago I was in Paris wearing a fake kislux Chanel bag and people thought it was real. I had a lady compliment me when I was in the Louvre. It was an unforgettable experience.
I actually agree with the Issey at goat pick. I think uniqlo deserves goat too. If we are measuring by value too uniqlo just has captured a massive audience because they sell high quality basics at such a great value proposition. By far the cheapest brand in the standout group and better than most. Ami at standout was a good pick. Ami Paris quality is criminally underrated. I love their hoodies, the hardware and the weight of the cloth just feels so premium and you can usually get it at a good discount. I think Loewe could easily be standout, I've been seeing it way more recently. AllSaints definitely deserves mid good call. They are just an essentials copy and more expensive. Overall solid picks
Issey miyake goat category? That's a brand that makes nearly all of its clothes from 100% polyester. It would be same if you strap bunch of plastic water bottles with plastic bags around your body. If you can't understand what type of fabric is good then you don't know anything about clothing. It's weird bunch of ignorant people trying to show off their ignorance to people around them. Lastly some advice for people who can use their mind: 1. Look for the fabric composition only buy natural fabrics like cotton, linen, wool, cashmere, silk etc. 2. Don't pay overinflated prices because of brands. T-Shir you find with 100$ price tag probably produced for 7 or 8$(max) in China or Bangladesh.
Uniqlo C sometimes can't be judged without trying and wearing. They look simple at first glance but they make my wife looks really great after she wear them and I don't know why.
You should check out some Dutch brands. A lot of cool new brands popping up the last couple of years, especially in Amsterdam: New Optimist / POP trading company / New Amsterdam Surf Association / The New Originals / Daily Paper / Bram's Fruit
You get it. This is his tier list. There’s no way I’m ranking issey miyaki plisse Goat in all its polyester glory for what they charge. Eye find it Mid but i get the appeal from fashion/influence, but fabric/quality can be copied by everyone and indistinguishable from a Zara knock off. Def mid.
In my opinion hollister is underrated. Back then i did not like it but recently they also did some really cool stuff with decent quality and a low price
would've liked further explanation on the "trash" brands, since lots of people buy there and are some of the most affordable from the list also, apply the same standard to all brands

I highly disagree with Abercrombie. Honestly, I’d put it at “Would buy” at most. Don’t get me wrong, I really like and own a lot of their stuff, like their jeans and shorts. But overall, their clothes tend to be way lower quality that what you’re paying for and their sizing is completely unreliable a lot of times, specially when it comes to shirts (most of the time they run super long).
Would want to see you make a video tier list for clothing brands to buy on a budget
just got a pair of baggy jeans from gap and easily one of the best in my wardrobe the way they fall is so perfect and they feel good
Dear Tim, it's amazing video to express your personal opinion, no matter someone is agree with you or not. It's a very educational video for everyone.
This video shows that even people who make videos about fashion and style, also have some bad opinions about fashion and style 😂😂
Tim, you took the words out of my mouth about Urban Outfitters!! Exact same feeling towards it!
Tim is the bright light in my world
Even after the recent rebranding, I’m still deciding on leaving A&F to my high school days (the 90s). Over and over, I’ve tried to give them a chance. Everything just looks better on the hanger than on me.
Whys that is it too long , etc?
Urban Outfitters over Fred Perry is crazy. And Aime Leon Dore is just doing what Ralph Lauren has done.
I disagree regarding Calvin Klein. It has pretty good stuff. Waaaaaaaay better, than ZARA
Uniqlo gang💪🏻
I can’t think of any other brand beating Uniqlo in terms of fabric quality and durability at the same price point
Great video , I would probably take a deeper dive and do another video. Split the brands up by Category such as Fast Fashion, street , tailored and high fashion luxury. Then rank them worst to 1st , bases on your opinion. Thanks !
Saalt Studio is so sick, Tim thanks for putting me on to them. i was lucky enough to get the pre orders for the oat hoodies, sadly missed the Crochet Hoodie drop but definitely got in on the latest drop and picked up the Charcoal Ornate Work Pants, and both Cardigans. Checking the delivery updates 5 times a day. cant wait till they arrive. Would have liked to buy all the colour ways of the jeans too but since there such a staple peice i couldnt justify buying all 3. but if i was a millionaire you bet your arse i would of.
Love me a good tier list. Definitely do more videos in this format.
Honestly, watching the disrespect of Ralph Lauren on here made me stop watching and possibly rethinking of ever watching these videos again from this fashion UA-camr
been obsessed with issey miyake the past few years.. lowkey what got me into fashion
I don’t care about brands or logos
If I like it I wear it and if I don’t then I don’t
Gotta be thinking about fabrics, durability and price tag though
You just gave me a whole bunch of brands to tap in to. Thanks so much brother!!
Putting Ralph Lauren to trash in the thumbnail is criminal
Good plot twist, tho
Would be nice a framework of affordability vs. Quality for each of these brands
Two weeks ago I was in Paris wearing a fake kislux Chanel bag and people thought it was real. I had a lady compliment me when I was in the Louvre. It was an unforgettable experience.
Hey! Great Vid. What's your glasses? Best
I actually agree with the Issey at goat pick. I think uniqlo deserves goat too. If we are measuring by value too uniqlo just has captured a massive audience because they sell high quality basics at such a great value proposition. By far the cheapest brand in the standout group and better than most. Ami at standout was a good pick. Ami Paris quality is criminally underrated. I love their hoodies, the hardware and the weight of the cloth just feels so premium and you can usually get it at a good discount. I think Loewe could easily be standout, I've been seeing it way more recently. AllSaints definitely deserves mid good call. They are just an essentials copy and more expensive. Overall solid picks
Issey miyake goat category? That's a brand that makes nearly all of its clothes from 100% polyester. It would be same if you strap bunch of plastic water bottles with plastic bags around your body. If you can't understand what type of fabric is good then you don't know anything about clothing. It's weird bunch of ignorant people trying to show off their ignorance to people around them.
Lastly some advice for people who can use their mind:
1. Look for the fabric composition only buy natural fabrics like cotton, linen, wool, cashmere, silk etc.
2. Don't pay overinflated prices because of brands.
T-Shir you find with 100$ price tag probably produced for 7 or 8$(max) in China or Bangladesh.
Uniqlo C sometimes can't be judged without trying and wearing. They look simple at first glance but they make my wife looks really great after she wear them and I don't know why.
You should check out some Dutch brands. A lot of cool new brands popping up the last couple of years, especially in Amsterdam:
New Optimist / POP trading company / New Amsterdam Surf Association / The New Originals / Daily Paper / Bram's Fruit
I like the beard this way, a very clean and fresh look, you also look very masculine ... the whole look is top notch
nah bro i know this is subjective but the miniature clickbait and putting zara over PLR deserves a dislike and i never dislike videos smh
Keep up with these videos bro. You made me style up. Thumbs uppers
The gap hate is unreal. It’s so underrated
I would like your unfiltered opinion of Reiss. You were holding back there.
That all works for YOU and ONLY YOU. You're Your own INFLUENCE. NO one else.
You get it. This is his tier list.
There’s no way I’m ranking issey miyaki plisse Goat in all its polyester glory for what they charge. Eye find it Mid but i get the appeal from fashion/influence, but fabric/quality can be copied by everyone and indistinguishable from a Zara knock off. Def mid.
What brands yall recommend? As of now im going to check out A&F, banana republic, Gap, & RL.
Great vid! Would love to see a tattoo tour v2 at some point too!
In my opinion hollister is underrated. Back then i did not like it but recently they also did some really cool stuff with decent quality and a low price
Gap quality is on par with A&F in my experience. I swear by their socks and lightweight jackets. Just never pay full price.
kapital being in a tier below Abercrombie is something else
don't do it again
This list is mid tbh
who are the goats in your opinion?
would've liked further explanation on the "trash" brands, since lots of people buy there and are some of the most affordable from the list
also, apply the same standard to all brands
Some of these I just can’t tell apart with the oversized/relaxed fits and minimalist designs
What about outdoor brands like North Face, Arcteryx, Patagonia, etc?
Zara in "would buy" is something huh. They're overpriced, subpar quality, and inconsistent.
Fred Perry is an absolute iconic brand. Strong disagree
I'm amazed Banana Republic, J.Crew, Madewell, Bonobos, Everlane, Huckberry, Taylor Stitch and rag&bone aren't in here
Pretty sure Bonobos is US only
these are american brands
@@malamute4793 wouldn’t have most, if not all, of the brands I mentioned expand over there?
COS is better than your GOAT. I highly disagree with this list. COS offers a great price for the quality and designs,axxel too.
