Quality over quantity is an important mantra for all millennials.

Be it the clothes we buy, the books we read, or the people we spend time with, the music you listen to, your circle of network, quality will always add more value to our lives than quantity. On the other hand, too much stuff and an abundance of choices cause stress and overwhelm. And not only for ourselves but also for the planet.

Quality is the key to creating a stellar style, even if you only have a few pieces. It’s our collective effort to change society’s relationship with how we purchase and dispose of our belongings. All our actions and attitudes count.

Reasons Why to Choose Quality Over Quantity

If you have less, you are happier

Sounds simple, but it has even been scientifically proven. Those who have less are happier– and have more money to spend on experiences. If you buy less overall, you can concentrate on high-quality products - which in the best case scenario will last a lifetime.

Cost Efficient

It’s hard to believe, but spending that large amount of cash on a high-quality pair of pants is more cost efficient than buying several pairs of cheap pants. Why? Cheap clothing is not made as well as expensive clothing, and will therefore wear out faster. This means you’ll be back at the store within a few months to buy another cheaply made fashion piece. Instead, invest your money in a quality piece that will last you a long time!

Preferring Quality over Quantity Supports Sustainability

When you love your quality items and take good care of them, they’ll last longer. Thus, they’re less of a burden for our environment compared to the usual throw-away stuff. This is especially true if you not only look for timeless and durable but also eco-friendly and ethically produced items.

Personal Style

If you’re seeking to develop a personal style, choosing a few quality clothing items is actually better than choosing several cheap items. By purchasing quality pieces, you’ll consider more thoughtfully what you like and don’t like. This will also help you figure out what colours and silhouettes look best on you too.

Better Style

Simply put, quality clothing just looks better! Not only will you be able to see better workmanship in your quality garments, but you’ll also be able to feel that the fabrics are perhaps more comfortable. There’s also a huge advantage when you find the perfect shoe and it’s also a quality product. I can guarantee you that once you try proper quality leather shoes – you will feel the difference. It will be sturdier, fit better, and last much longer. Quality clothing also looks better because it forms to the wearer and lies correctly.

Choosing Quality Is an Act of Self-Love

Why again should you choose quality over quantity? Because you deserve it. Yes, I mean it. You deserve the best— the best people around you that uplift and support you, the best food to nourish you, the best of everything. Choosing quality definitely is an act of self-love. By not wasting time and energy on low-quality stuff, we can direct these precious resources to what actually matters to us. Inviting quality in your life is telling yourself daily that you’re worth it.

Does the Quality Over Quantity Rule Only Apply to ‘Things’?

No, absolutely not. It’s just easier to use ‘things’, in the sense of something you can purchase, as an example. But the rule applies to all areas, to everything and everyone you invite into your life (or not). Thus, not only ’things’ like clothes, furniture, music, tech stuff, food, etc. But also what you do for a living, how you spend your time, and so on. Of course, it also applies to your connections, to your relationships. Offline and online.

It’s up to you to decide. Quality will always add more value than quantity.
