Why are Clothes so Expensive? = =

====Who is really reaping the benefits of the clothing mark up? In the 1980’s a pair of Guess jeans were $60. Over the past 30 years the price has more than doubled. Yes, the standard of living has increased since then, but what is the driving factor for clothing mark ups? Are materials becoming more expensive, or are we just willing to pay these ridiculously high prices? If we continue to pay these expensive prices, companies will think that they can keep raising their prices. If we still pay these prices now, why wouldn't we buy them if they're raised? Can we settle for cheaper clothes, or are we going to continue to pay for the brand? ====
