    If I was looking for something special then I would, but when I'm looking to spend a couple of £ on a basic item, it's not worth the time or effort to me.

    I agree, it's all marketing spin, but there do seem to be enough people out there who do buy an awful lot of clothes! When I buy something I wear it to death and then only replace if I have to. All of my clothes fit in two drawers 😂

    Exactly this, what I want never seems to exist and I get so fed up with endlessly scrolling to try and find something vaguely suitable.
