  • Price: It is the most common factor as higher prices discourage people from selecting cloth. Therefore, price plays an important role while selecting cloth.
  • Design/Style: This happens due to taste and habits. People who prefer cotton clothes may not select any other type of cloth easily.
  • Durability: People prefer durable clothes. As longevity is something people always look for.
  • Quality: People prefer better quality as it satisfies various other needs like durability, comfort, safety, etc.
