Are u looking for casual clothes or work clothes? My go to for work clothes are banana republic and jcrew. Sometimes their casual stuff is ok too - but For casual I like anthropologie but that store has a very specific style. I think you can wear these clothes for years, they hold up really well. I have several suits from jcrew that are 5 years old and I still think they look current and are in good shape.

I personally find it matters more on the materials than the makers (to some extent). I have a few merino wool sweaters from Target that look brand new several years later, and an anthro top that looked gross after a few months that was a rayon blend. I find some of my best quality clothes at TJ Maxx/Marshalls

Banana..I also like some basic pieces from Nordstrom.

I agree with @scg00387, I have some cardigans from H&M that I still wear after 8 years!! How crazy is that? On the other hand, I have some stuff from Ann Taylor and Banana that haven't lasted through 2 seasons.

That being said, my favorite high quality stuff comes from Nordstrom, J Crew, Ann Taylor, BCBG Max Azria, and Banana Republic. I used to work in retail, and there is a huge difference between the quality of items sold in the main retail stores and the outlets, so keep that in mind! Also, Nordstrom is great for buying more expensive items because their return policy is so awesome.
