Question

I will be moving to Germany in April. I was wondering how is the shopping as far as clothing?

Answer 1

Kind of saying like the other posters to a point. Quality is pretty much the same. You can buy cheap low quality clothes or expensive high quality clothes, just like in the US.

Seeing as most clothing is made in China anyway, that won't be much difference :)

What will maybe the hardest for you might be the sizes. Sizes are different and even XL might not be like XL here..but then...thats different between US stores too, so nothing too different there.

Good luck!

Answer 2

Been there recently - sizes - a little difficult.  Quality- full spectrum, cost - generally more particularly for higher quality clothing.  Sales taxes are considerably higher than in most of U.S.

Answer 3

That's not true! You can get very nice clothes here for already 10 $ !!!! The Price Ranges are from 10 to 100 $ just like by you guys and the quality is just as good!

Answer 4

It depends where you are moving from.  If you are moving from the Continental United States (Georgia?) you will find it expensive.  As far as selection is concerned I have no personal shopping experiences to relate but I have seen many well dressed Germans so I presume that quality will not be an issue. Probably the best description of how it will be will be "Different" but that is one of the joys of living overseas.

We used to use a rule of thumb that whatever cost a dollar in the States (mostly Southern) would cost beteen 50 - 70% more in Europe.
