It s construction is almost too simple; I would ve liked for the inside of the skirt to either have a lining or a thicker denim. No hems or seams were frayed but the wash didn t look authentic. There are no rivets or inner-buttoms. Although it isn t as well made as the other skirt, for the price it fulfills it s purpose well.

11 Comparison After evaluating each garment separately, the suggested retail price versus the quality of the garments is accurate for all four garments compared. As a collective group of garments, the one with the weakest quality is from Forever granted, it isn t a moderately categorized store, and it is almost expected from their products to only perform a few times while it remains in-trend. The men s Levi s exuded a type of working luxury; with the denim having a tiny bit of stretch but incredible strength, they are worth the money. Aritzia s Wilfred Free tulip skirt is a piece with such aesthetic value and simple craftsmanship it will outlive any professional and personal event. Lastly, the DarylK for Urban Outfitters faux-leather skinny trousers exemplify great quality and beautiful design. All of these products could be considered simple, but it is apparent they went through multiple quality assurance tests before being placed in a retail environment. 7
