I know that the saying ‘you get what you pay for’ is mostly true when it comes to cheap items, but after a certain price you’re not getting quality and you’re more paying for the reputation that comes with a designer label.
What clothing brands do you feel hit that ‘worth the cost’ phrase without being too expensive for no reason?
Edit: wow this post blew up. By the way when I said ‘too expensive for no reason’ I meant paying for designer brands where the extra $ isn’t an increase in quality but rather for the reputation of the brand itself.

I’m in my mid-30s and I’m looking to elevate my wardrobe.
I’m looking for brands that are classic, chic, and high-quality — maybe like Ralph Lauren vibes but more contemporary? Willing to spend.
UPDATE: thank yall sooo much for sharing all of these recs!! I’m gonna grab a glass of wine and do a lil shopping!
I feel like I've seen so many different answers on this question with people claiming different things, so I'm really confused - and it seems like different brands go down in quality every year. What brands should I buy from that can be trusted to produce high-quality clothing? For socks, I know there's balega. For outdoor clothing, I know there's REI, patagonia, carhartt, etc. But for most other things, I'm kinda lost. Underwear? Business casual? Workout clothes? Even my Levi's jeans fall apart at the crotch after a few years... Does anyone have a guide/website with recommendations for alternative brands to fast fashion? TBH I don't always have time to thrift, and there are just some clothes that I don't feel comfortable wearing second-hand (like workout pants), and I still can't tell if other items I get are true vintage/will last or will fall apart soon... so I'm looking for brands that I can buy new from and keep forever.
For most of my life I have thrifted everything and have a surplus of random crap with rips and such that I don't actually wear. now that I have more money I want to get some high quality clothes to last forever, if anyone knows any good women's clothing brands that look good and well made please tell me! I am 5'9 size small
I’m looking to finally buy new clothes, and I’ve found that nearly everything in my favorite sites is polyester. I like brands like Princess Polly, Outcast, White Fox, etc. I don’t mind the clothing being a bit pricey, does anyone have any recommendations? Brands like free people aren’t really my style.
