I work at an outlet mall. The clothes are the same than they would be at a regular mall. The only difference is the price of the clothing. And they are not necessarily old styles or clothes that the brand couldn't sell. Trust me, I work in one of them. The difference: the price! But I would rather get the same clothes at a cheaper price, right?

No, they usually don't sell the same merchandise as the regular stores. Sometimes, I see things that I think are fake, too! But, you can find clothes with the same brand name (supposedly) for a LOT less. The main thing about doing outlet shopping is to know the good from the bad. If you take time to shop, you'll get good bargains! I hope this helped and best of luck!

an outlet sells thing much cheaper. but, what they usually have are last years styles, or stuff that isn't selling in the stores very well. they move those to outlets, and then the outlets sell them for cheaper. you wont find all of the brand new styles at outlets, you should go to a retail store for that. hope this helps!

outlets are usually a season or two behind. usually less expensive if you don't mind out of season items. Also, some stores sell stuff directly out of the outlets and not in normal stores. Banana Republic does that with some merchandise.
I shop almost exclusively at the outlets by my house. I cannot justify paying more. And it doesn't bother me that they are not the latest styles.

outlets are where they sell overstock discontinued and factory seconds all at a cheaper price at least that was when they first started making outlets they still sell those things but also sell items you won't find in local area store like some clothes that where only going to be sold in one state tacky - if I buy a shirt for $40 and buy the same shirt for $20 who's the fool ?

I don't know what kind of outlet malls Medi P has been going to, but the one I go to the stores are all brand names. They have Charlotte Russe, Pac Sun, Calvin Klein, BCBG...etc. The clothes are not fake. The mall wouldn't let any stores sell anything fake.

Outlet stores tend to sell their merchandise at a cheaper cost.
