Uniqlo is always a solid choice I feel like in terms of quality and so far my experience with ASOS has been great although I've only ordered from them a couple of times, I stay away from stuff that have poor reviews which is a fair few so I guess you're right about the hit and miss thing lol. Thanks for the recs Harry
Actually, about a week ago I bought a trench coat off eBay for $10. I gave it to my friend that is a tailor so all the repairs were $35 but he discounted it for $12. That's not even the best part. The best part is that the trench coat is Burberry. Second hand shopping is the best!
I love "hunting" for clothes in the second hand stores, almost always find some great piece, even some small local designers' clothing. Second hand stores are my favourite kind of clothing stores.
Can alwayssss rely on COS & Arket 🙌🏽! I'm certainly going to be taking a look at Kotn, I like what I see from what you shown 🙌🏽! Great video as always brother!
M+S was always the go to place for all my school stuff as a kid. Their trousers can survive all manner of playground shenanigans and their shirts stay in shape nicely. I mostly thrift for high end brands at ultra low prices but if I see an M+S cashmere jumper I will always buy it. However their shoes aren't so great. I got a pair of black loafers which looked and felt amazing, but the soles were very low quality and wore through in a couple of months and the leather started cracking on the vamps soon after. These days I keep my eyes peeled for anything by Loake, Cheaney or any of the other traditional English shoemakers. With a bit of patience I can score some cheap deals on shoes that will probably outlast me. It always feels good to grab a pair of nearly new £400+ shoes for less than £20!
YES to Marks & Sparks! I've found myself on their website more and more these days as well! You can tell we're getting older mate haha. You've pretty much just listed all the websites that I frequent on the daily!
God bless for this video. Just found pieces I’ve wanted for along time but couldn’t afford the super expensive brands. These cheaper brands have solid fits
@@HarryHas Unfortunately not - they closed all of their 6 stores in the UK a couple of years ago so its online ordering only now. Really solid quality when you buy on sale.
@@jasvir17 Oh really? That shows you how much I go to London or clothes shopping on the high street in general. I do all my shopping online. A lot of stores are closing down these days, which is a shame but I can see why.
Asos can be a big hit or a complete miss. I wouldn't put it on the list because of that. I have some pieces that I wear quite often but the majority of items I bought off of Asos I sent back due to poor quality, horrendous fit or item looking completely different in person compared to how it looked on the site.
Some mango pieces have lasted me 3-4 years. Since I entered and left University. I also bought from their Outlet and you get good items (although you need to know what to buy). But for real every pant Ive bought in Mango has lasted me at least 1.5-2 years for me. I even have two suits that are impeccable.
I have a similar video on the channel called ‘Brands worth the money’ or something like that, which has those brands in. However, my list would probably have changed a bit since then. Maybe I’ll make an updated version
The problem I have with a lot of these brands is sizing. I'm 6"3' 215lbs. Either their larger sizes are immediately out of stock or they don't even bother making them. Or, their 2XL will fit like an L. Or, my favorite, the larger sizes will be significantly more expensive. There is a certain body type and size person most mid to high fashion want to wear their clothing. And it's definitely not me.
Almost forgot about Marks and Spencer, they have here in my country, might check them out I didn't know they're kinda affordable as well since I tend to avoid their stores since I thought they're expensive lol. My only choice was always Uniqlo, since their market is so height friendly (I'm 5'6'' only lol). And their quality is so above H&M, H&M's clothes don't last me at all. There's Muji as well, I'm not sure if they have stores from where you live tho, Harry. I'd classify Muji as an upgraded Uniqlo, you might want to check them out as well! My country doesn't have COS and ASOS sadly...
UNIQLO shares the same retailers as other fast fashion brands as far as I know. Their garments are made in China if I'm not wrong. Justine Laconte has a video on how to spot fast fashion brands and I think it is a helpful video if you're into being a more responsible consumer. Take care!
@@gringo2900 noooooo, I did know that some high-fashion brands would do dirty by producing their garments in questionable factories, however, I wasn't aware of the exact brands that would do this. Thanks for the fact!
This was a sick video! so many brands i've never heard of. Admittedly I get a lot of pieces from Zara and H&M...lmao. Looking forward to trying some of the other ones out!
In my country basically none of these count as "Affordable Brands" :D Those would be something like H&M, Pull&Bear, Bershka, Reserved etc. Great vid though, always entartaining! It is interesting to hear you say you can buy better quality for the same amount of money as H&M and Zara from these places. How is that possible? When I look at their online store literally everything is singificantly more expensive at COS or Uniqlo for example, even the basics are more expensive
I really really love uniqlo pants, because of the free tailoring and how stretchy they are. We live only a few hours from japan, so Uniqlo clothes are way cheaper than compared to the US/UK.
@@IchiBeemo dam bro here in my country (singapore) they charge free regular altering for trousers/jeans over 50sgd and 5$ for a blind stitch. if the pants below 50, 5$ for regular altering and 15 for a blind stitch. thing is most things are above 50 so yay i guess
I will *rarely* buy from Zara if something is on a deep discount, but generally yeah, avoid. I got their duplicate of the Homme Plisse black pants and the stitching was awful around the cuffs. I'm getting it tailored to fit me better and fix the issues, hopefully it works out because I don't want to spend that much on Issey Miyake right now.
I also has slowing down on uniqlo recently.. it's the quality & sustainability for me. they're using more and more synthetic fabric. the ratio between natural fibre to synthetic is huge. for example they put 10-20% cotton and the rest is polyester & acrylic. I understand each material has their own function. but cmon 20% cotton?? with the high price they're selling 😓 and the quality itself is declining. these days I only look up to their cotton, linen, cashmere material and the collaboration they had. although I want to move on from uniqlo, but there are still some items that is still worth buying. it is super rare for me to buy uniqlo now unfortunately
Such an embarrassment to hear that a group of NGOs are taking legal action against Uniqlo following the company’s involvement in forced labour with Ouighours
I have spent so much money in Arket and ended up hating the brand. Now it is a no go, together with Zara, just for the quality. Or lack thereof. From all those under h&m I think &other stories and cos have the better quality. I have had a couple of monki pieces that are indestructible.
Being a tall chap, the thing I struggle with is sleeve and trouser length. I agree that M&S have upped their game recently, and I really like the look of some of their shirts for example, however the arm length in my usual size is ridiculously short! Going up a size makes it look like I'm wearing a barrel!
I seem to buy about 70% of my clothes from Marks and Spencer. I have a very basics orientated style, I have a local accessible store and for the very reasonable prices I struggle to find reasons to buy clothes elsewhere. I bought a pair of jeans from Uniqlo online recently and I really felt like I was pushing the boat out!
Really like arket. Unfortunately their smalllest size is a 46 which is just too big for me (im a 44). Quite weird actually. Mango is also a solid option
Great list but honestly cannot recommend Weekday at all. Everything I've bought from them (except their jeans) has been of horrible quality and fallen apart within a few washes.
I like Marni and it was good to see but I feel I’d rather get a piece from Marni or a piece from Uniqlo. I find the collabs kinda don’t feel too special for some reason
I appreciate your videos Harry but I'd just like to point out - COS and Arket are owned by the H&M Group, and at then end you say you are skeptical of H&M's sustainability practices. In addition, H&M Group is not very ethical. Almost none of its supply chain is certified by labor standards which ensure worker health and safety, living wages or other labor rights. I understand the point of the video is to showcase quality affordable brands, but if you are going to bring up these topics I hope you present information to your audience properly.
I mentioned that in the video. For their sustainability rating, H&M, cos, weekday and Arket are all ranked the same. I didn’t say otherwise. I am just putting brands out there that are affordable as I know not everyone can afford to spend a lot on clothing. These brands are far better than a lot of other affordable brands out there in my opinion
@@HarryHas I think I ordered that before but returned it. Personally I find their heavyweights to be too stiff - almost like cardboard and unpleasant to wear. each to their own though!
Anyone know other brands like norse projects and Acne that have clothing that actually fits slim and shows off your frame. It feels like every tshirt these days is atleast somewhat boxy.
What’s your favourite affordable brand?
tigha
walmart
H&M is my personal favorite
gotta be Arket
Uniqlo
Uniqlo is always a solid choice I feel like in terms of quality and so far my experience with ASOS has been great although I've only ordered from them a couple of times, I stay away from stuff that have poor reviews which is a fair few so I guess you're right about the hit and miss thing lol.

we don’t even have a Uniqlo flagship store in NZ haha. Might need to give KOTN a peep. Love the vid Harry!
That Porter James Harrington too 👀
My nearest is London and I hardly go. Thanks a lot man. Have a great Sunday
I have to say the *amzclothes* coats are still pretty darn cute. I will buy that! Very satisfied with the price!
I would add Mango Man. They keep up with the trends and their stuff lasts. Good bang for the buck.
Unfortunately they don’t seem to be very sustainable or ethical so I wouldn’t recommend them
@@HarryHas That's a shame. Wasn't aware of that.
I've lived in Vancouver for five years and I just learned about Kotn for the first time from you 🤣
Hahaha better late than never! Seem to be a really decent brand

Uniqlo u airism shirt in white is one of the most versatile pieces out there. A great introductory piece into oversized clothes

Surprised Everlane isn't on the list. They make decent quality basics and they have sales pretty often.
They claim to be sustainable but apparently they aren’t. It put me off them a bit. They are also pretty pricey these days

Now this video is for the people! Great looking out for the masses!

I do. We have them in the UK. I’m afraid they have their problems when it comes to sustainability
Of these, the only ones I’m familiar with are Uniqlo and ASOS. It looks like I have a lot to look into now. I’m excited.
congrats on 100k subs dawg
Thanks so much mate
Uniqlo and H&M are the brands available here in the Philippines. Affordable yet stylish

Hi :) im looking for one of those? did you buy it recently? if so, how did you search it?
I have a simple mantra, zara stuff only if it's the last couple Thursdays of their sale
Gotta shop for Weekday clothing any day of the week, especially on the weekdays!!
The correct answer is
*Banana Republic and Coach*
Why would you not mention prices when talking about affordability?
Thank you so much!
I will check them right away.
really needed this video 🙌

Great video! Currently shopping at Uniqlo for a lot of my hoodies. Thinking of upgrading a few of them. Where do you think sells the best hoodies?

not related to clothes but he's right, M&S fruit and veg is top tier
M&S are also good for lightweight jackets like bombers for around 60 quid.
Unfortunately here in Australia most of those brands aren't in store only online or not affordable at all even uniqlo 😢
What about the brand Lethato?
What is that fantastic green jacket that you are wearing?
The jeans from Cos fits you much better than they fit me (not sure what I am doing wrong 😅)
