Quiz: what weighs most when you buy clothes?
Five questions to find out what weighs most in your clothing choices.
Before buying a piece, each person gives different weight to comfort, looks, price or durability. This quiz focuses on the buying decision: it helps you identify what weighs most in your choices and buy more consciously. It is not a scientific test, and no profile is better than another.

Interpreting the results
Mostly A: comfort first
You value physical well-being. When buying, try it on, move, sit and check how the fabric feels. Pay attention to composition and stretch.
Mostly B: practicality and combination
You like pieces that organize with each other. A limited palette and base pieces are your allies. Before buying, think about how many pieces it goes with.
Mostly C: durability
You think long term. Look at seams, finishing, fabric and washing instructions. Consider the cost per use: a more expensive piece worn many times can pay off.
Mostly D: personal expression
You use clothing to communicate. Set aside space for pieces with personality, and balance with simple basics so they stand out.
A tie
You have a style that mixes criteria, which is common. Observe in which situations each criterion weighs more.
