In the world of branded clothing comfortable could, in principle, any person. The stores offer products of the mass market (mass and niche cheap pret-a-Porte), boutiques pret-a-porter premium and Deluxe class, and major Fashion houses - masterpieces "Haute couture" (haute couture). The latter is intended for very wealthy customers and designed to demonstrate, belonging to the caste of "chosen" people with a particularly exquisite taste and financial possibilities; pret-a-porter (including mass market) – what is the most.

The name "mass market" suggests that this is budget category of clothes of mass production. Products are higher in quality-cut from expensive fabrics - it is "premium" (high), "middle"(middle) and "middle-up" (above average).
