In Chapter 5, Gatsby throws a pile of shirts in front of Nick and Daisy, and Daisy states that "It makes me sad because I've never seen such beautiful shirts." This shows how Daisy is a materialistic person, as was customary for most characters in The Great Gatsby. She loved material items more so than the people themselves who owned them. Daisy is trapped within her marriage with Tom and can't get any of the nice things that she wants. All of the characters in the book only want to be higher in life and have nicer things than what they have. Daisy's attraction to Gatsby was for his money, and Gatsby only lived where he was and tried to show that he had a lot of money and was very wealthy to impress Daisy.
