| | Clothes shopping in Konstanz
Where in Konstanz do you buy lasting clothing for a decent price?
For example - we tried H&M, but their products are really wearing out quickly.
Here is overview what's available in Lago, but I know it's not the only place in Konstanz: https://www.lago-konstanz.de/fashion/ |

Clothes: low price = low quality (of the clothes, of the working conditions, or both).
But keep in mind that high price does not guarantee high quality!
Maybe there is a Loveco shop in Konstanz?

I think I narrowed the question too much refering to Konstanz, maybe that's not necessary.
Can you advise me which clothing brands generally in Germany offer decent price and decent quality? "Best bang for your buck", again.

Buy real fibres, and things not made in china.
Of course clothes from H&M wear out quickly. It’s a terrible waste of resources and an environmental disaster.

Do a search for brands you like from other countries that are sold in Germany

Actually I think there are many German brands that offer good price/quality ratio but it also depends on whether you like the style... Overall it is difficult to say anything without knowing your budget.
For example Gerry Weber or Basler are mid-priced but have good quality. Tom Tailor or S. Oliver are of somewhat lower quality but still decent.
On the more expensive end Escada is of good quality imo.
Though nowadays even quite expensive brands may lack the quality. I have a t-shirt bought on a street market 20+ years ago very cheaply that I wore a lot as a kid and is still in a great shape...

It's a spanish company with clothes made in China trying to sell itself as an Italian fashion house.

There is a decent size Karstadt (department store) in Konstanz who sell branded, high quality clothing at a fair price. If you go during the sales its even better.

That's a fair question about a budget. So the goal would be - one step higher as H&M. Something that will not wear out after couple of times or shrink crazy in the tumble drier. Stating the above, I think it's worth to try your suggestions of Tom Tailor and S. Oliver.
