Clothing is so overpriced. A name-brand button-up shirt or pair of jeans is not worth $55 to me. Buying the first shirt and getting the next for 50% off (so 25% off both shirts) is still insulting. When I go to JCPenny, Macy's, or other stores at our dying mall (I think that might be all that's left), I head straight for the clearance rack. I'll buy those clothes for $10 or $15, or less. It's a low price, and I feel like I'm getting a "$55 shirt" for $10.

The “real” full price of a lot of non-luxury clothes is more like 60-70% of “full price” and it’s not a real sale until it dips under that. A lot of traditionally lower-edge-of-upscale brands have even gone that way. Between that and vanity sizing buying clothes involves a lot of looking at and interpreting bullshit numbers.
