Don’t waste your money on expensive jeans – so says this study!

Jeans

A recent study by the University of Leeds, in collaboration with Primark, found that a pair of women’s jeans costing just £15 were more durable than a pair costing £150.

The research tested 65 clothing items, including jeans, hoodies, and T-shirts, to set standards on how long clothing should last. They used equipment that can simulate years of wear and tear in a matter of hours.

Interestingly, the study revealed no correlation between price and durability. This means that higher-priced items aren’t necessarily more durable than cheaper ones. Primark plans to use these findings to improve the durability of their products and provide better value for customers.

So, for durability… buy the cheaper option. I have no idea about the design and style though.
