Hi guys,
Has anyone been to Zara lately? I was just at the newly opened Fifth Avenue store. I picked up two of their shirts. I thought their shirts were very tasteful -- their fabric looked significantly more expensive than their price tags ($55) would suggest, although there were neither pattern matching at the seams nor premium buttons.
I also bought some H&M shirts, very nice patterns, for $39, although I didn't think their fabric came close to Zara.
So what happened to my Jantzen/MTM obsession? I tried on a H&M shirt in small the other day and was surprised to discover that the H&M fit me better than my Jantzen shirts. Therefore, I guess I should not rule out off-the-rack items now. Plus, Zara had some truly interesting fabrics that I didn't think shirtmakers would have.
Any thoughts on Zara and H&M shirts? Are there other brands carrying similar items? (Banana Republic is distasteful and disgraceful this season; JCrew is too bland. GANT is pretty good.)
Cheers
