It seems like production standards for clothing has been going downhill for a while. Cheap fabrics, poor construction, low manufacturing costs to fill stores with tons of affordable, disposable garments. When I buy clothes from stores like Forever 21 the color fades or threads come loose in a matter of weeks. Lately, I've been focusing on a few quality pieces that I wear more often, mixing and matching. They don't irritate my skin or fall apart.
Which do you prefer?

Personally, I like having a few good, sturdy staples and a ton of lower-quality pieces so that I can keep things interesting and colorful. I'm very unique in how I dress, and quite frankly, I cannot afford to have a ton of good quality clothing. I do a lot of thrifting and go down to shop in the States (clothes are generally more expensive in Canada, not to mention the 13% sales tax). I don't have any trouble with skin irritation and my clothes rarely fall apart, so those aren't problems for me. If I get a couple of years out of a shirt that cost me $8, that's better for me than getting 10 years out of a $40 shirt. I like to change things up anyways, and I re-purpose torn or stained clothing to make something new anyways.
