Money Moral Dilemma: Is it ok to buy, wear and return clothes?

No you most certainly should not! How would you like to buy something then find that it's got someone else's skanky deodorant on it? There are plenty of ways to buy clothing cheaply and still look good - eBay outlet shopping for a fraction of the cost, charity shops (don't knock them, they get better and better) charity shops online, Amazon, outlet shopping malls etc.

Why not hold a clothes swap meet among your friends? You may find something they now don't like or have never worn that is perfect for you.

I don't know the legalities of taking clothes back after wearing them, but I certainly think it's a really awful thing to do!

No it's just plain odd...why would you want to walk around with tags all over you??

Plus to me it would be like stealing so definite no here too.

I have done this once in my life with an expensive dress I wasn't sure about, I kept the label in and didn't do anything too strenuous in it for a few hours at a work event, and then returned it. I wouldn't have returned it if it smelt or had anything on it. To this day I feel both guilty and smug!

But to do this with nearly everything your friend buys? Never mind the morals of this, it's just weird. If I had to say whether or not it was wrong, I would say it is. You should check out charity shops, my local one is full of stuff with the price tags still on!

I'll admit to doing this once, wrong though it was.
I was persuaded to do a pixie photo shoot with my dd and her cousin at a local boots and dressed dd up nicely but this wasn't enough for sis in law who had her ds in a little suit. She suggested to me to pop next door to Next to get something for dd to wear and chose a lovely dress for her.
Me being short of funds agreed to buy the dress but took it off as soon as I got out of sis in laws sight and carefully folded it back up to take back to the shop next time I was in town :eek:
Not something i've ever done again, but at the time was embarassed at her clothes not being nice enough for the photo and simply didn't have the funds to splash out on a new fancy dress she'd wear only once or twice!

I once felt really sorry for a lady whose hat was accidentally singed by a candle at a wedding.

I stopped feeling sorry when all the tags were displayed and she started moaning about how she would have to buy it.

Not long after her husband was moaning about £150 he would have to find.

Brightened up what had been a dull wedding.
