Are you better of buying lots of Penneys clothing or a few quality garments?

Tom_Cruise

Jeans in Penneys come in at around 15 - 20 euro, even cheaper in clearance sales. Levis and the likes are around 70 -100 euro.

Would it be wiser to but 5 pairs of Penneys jeans as opposed to the one pair of the more expensive brands?

The same applies for most Jackets, Shirts etc.

Pennys for most things yeah.

I find the crotch area in the cheeper jeans cause certain uncomforts.
Well worth the extra 60 - 80 euro for a better material and stitching.

Remmy

Depends on the item of clothing I guess.

admiralofthefleet

denim is denim, no matter what name is on it. which, incidentally is what you are paying for

I used to pay a small fortune for clothes when younger, not anymore. Penneys range is very good tbf and i get as much wear from them. You can't beat those €2.50 Tshirts

Lol yeah i know, first brand that popped into my head.

with jeans the only thing that matters is that they fit right, the jeans could cost a fiver or 200 quid.

shoes and coats are where you should be investing in quality, timeless pieces.

Unless you are an unusual size and cannot find well fitting clothes in the likes of pennys?

KKkitty

For items you want as good wear maybe go and spend extra but Penneys and the like are just as good and you can get a few of the same item for peanuts compared to the big brand stores in case of wear and tear or stains that won't wash out.

Dunnes and Penneys jeans for every day wear, then all the fancy stuff for going out, special occaisions, etc.

bluecode

If you have children, yes. They kill clothes. Me I buy cheap stuff for the my boys. My wife is silly, she'll spend fifty quid on a pair of shoes and they will last as long as the ten quid you get in Dunnes and Penneys.

For me, yes Penneys are not so good but at the end of the day they keep you from being naked.

No way, you've obviously never worn a good pair of Italian jeans.

You can buy cheap jeans which are coarse and tough, or decent ones which are smooth, soft and look well.

I would rather buy less of decent clobber than a load of cheaper quality clothes.
In saying that, i'm not particularly stylish at all, I just like my comfort, that and I spend 12 hours a day in chefs whites, so I enjoy getting out of them

WoollyRedHat

Potato sacks for the winter, bin bags for the summer.

None of that fancy ****. If you want to feel fashionable, create a few rips in them.

ETA: Oh, invest in a good woolly hat though. They're for life.

Annoying when you split the arse of your jeans.
So better off with cheap ones.

I don't know what you're asking me...

I never mentioned penneys by the way. I meant the high street in general.

Butterface

I usually only buy hoodies and t-shirts from Penneys. They never last very long, so you only get a couple of months out of them. I also like getting pyjama bottoms and socks from there because they have a nice cheap selection.

irishgirl19

I got a penneys pair for 8euro on sale a week ago. The fit is great and I was deligted at the bargain.

I have to say,years ago I wouldn't go near their jean as they were terrible but now they're great .

Although they're sizes are a bit all over the place and sometimes the fitting is a bit weird.

But if I can get a good fit all round then i'm all for them!

And you still stand over your statement that 'denim is denim ' ?
How so? I guess your technically right, but there are so many grades of denim....

same as saying beer is beer

Hold up a pair of tesco denim jeans to a pair of hugo boss denim jeans and your saying the only difference is the name ?

Catari Jaguar

Clicked that video thinking "Penney's used to advertise?? I don't remember that!" As soon as I heard the singing that jingle came back to me. There was an uptempo version obviously on another advert. Awh.. Never connected the two.

Penney's is great because the stock changes so often and you can get basics for so cheap like vests, jammies, underwear, stuff for layering in Winter. Yay for Penney's!

Not really.

You don't have to go all out and spend €200 on a pair of jeans but there's a huge difference in quality between the clothes Penneys sells and other brands of clothing both when it comes to fit and comfort. The jeans they sell feel coarse and don't fit as well as other brands.

It's like saying a car is a car and the only difference is the marque on the front.

PickledLime

For socks, jocks, tshirts, bathrobes, Pennys all the way.

I do like a reasonable pair of jeans as i find any pair from Pennys tend to be ill fitting and a bit rough, so a pair from Next for about 30 quid is a good compromise.

phasers

in fairness penneys have some gorgeous men's jeans sometimes, their cheapest pairs are a bit gack but they've a good selection of 15 euro pairs that feel great and last for ages. The women's jeans are ****e though, I get my cheap jeans in New Look

starlit

A mixture of both. For men and women - For general everyday and casual wear, bedwear, penneys/dunnes is grand. For work wear and night out wear where ever that takes your fancy but to be honest its worth spending a bit more for those types of clothes for them to last and get good wear out of them but dunnes and penneys are handy too.

For women, awear, h and m, dorothy perkins, next and new look are good spots to go to other than river island, debenhams, topshop, warehouse, red herring, miss selfridges, ted baker, french connection, coast, oasis, monsoon which can be a bit pricey but good quality stuff, swamp is the best for going out wear for girls other than new look for both men and women, quiz, jane norman, lipsy (bit expensive but at least not as expensive as juicy couture), while debenhams/pamela scotts/coast are worth investing in for wedding wear say or special occasions depending.

Depends on your style like sporty/casual/trendy/comfy/high street. Like the case of gap, a & f/hollister, tommy hilfiger, CK, ralph lauren and the big brands like LK bennet, juicy couture, channel, prada, armani, d & g, gucci, and louis vuton only certain number of people can buy and wear.

While some things wear after a while you need to get new ones on the cheap but other things like footwear, jeans and jackets/coats its worth spending money on quality that last longer as they are things you wear the most and most often. Definitely if you want to get more than a few months-years wear its worth investing in good quality clothes but not necessary have to be expensive or top of the range stuff beyond a student budget say.

The likes of topshop, next and oasis and river island are worth spending money on. For cheap stuff new look and penneys, h and m. In between vero moda and awear. For winter/summer wear wise penneys and dunnes are grand. Always look out for bargains and sales stuff when you can.

Dietsquirt

I get ALL (i work in an office) my work clothes in Penneys, i've bought tshirt and sweaters.

Can't complain, cheap and cheerful
