Costco is many things, to many people, but it is not the place where you should be shopping for designer labels. Suppliers typically make deals with big retail chains to sell items that are slightly defective, often cutting some corners in order to keep overhead margins as low as possible. If you see something you like, wonderful. If you’re going to Costco just to buy high quality clothes – consider other options like Marshalls or something similar.

Don’t Miss: Workwear

While you won’t be getting your latest Gucci clothing from Costco, good ol’ work shirts and pants are an easy find there, and usually at a steal. Many workers require “uniform like” clothing, with employers encouraging them to wear certain colours and types of clothing, so Costco can be a good place to look if you’d like to explore some variety within those parameters. Mid-range stores may offer something similar, but you’ll be paying extra for sure.
