Transparent Fabric

The first sign that will help you identify a bad quality garment is the fabric. Just put it to the light and observe. If you can see through the fabric, it means that it was poorly made. However, this doesn’t apply to clothing that is purposely made to be transparent. A good example for that are sheer shirts.

Pilling

Pilling is formed during everyday use, as a result of rubbing. A good quality garment won’t have pills after a few wears. You can always remove them with a razor. But, keep in mind that they are a sign of poor quality.

 

Too Light Denim

Jeans are a wardrobe staple. Everyone should own at least one pair of good quality jeans. But, keep in mind that not every pair that you will see in the shops is the real thing.  Good quality genuine denim is a heavy fabric. If the jeans that you are trying are too lightweight, then they are not good.

Losing Shape

Good quality clothes are designed to keep their shape. If the clothes get loose and lose their shape after a few wears, this means that you have spent your money on a cheap item.

Seams

This is a very common problem with patterned clothing. The pattern should match at the seams. If it doesn’t, then you have a cheap piece of clothing in your hands. No matter how much you payed for it.
