Tips for Better Clothes Shopping
Tips for Better Clothes Shopping
Shopping can be a pleasure or a chore. However you look at it, use these tips to be an effective and organized shopper.
Dress well. In order to spend less and buy wisely, dress up in comfortable clothes. It's the same concept as going to the grocery store on a full stomach.
Shop with a plan. Know exactly what you need and how much you can spend. Write it down. Create a budget.
Keep an ongoing list of clothing needs posted in your closet. As you dress each morning, make notes of items you need to complete outfits such as a wider, brown belt or a white tee with v neck. Be specific. Take the list with you when you shop.
Before making a purchase ask yourself, "Does this match my wardrobe in terms of color, style and price? Is this on my needs list? How versatile is this piece? How many ways can I wear it?"
Shop first at high-end mass merchants (i.e., Target), and off-price stores for basics such as tees, shirts and pants. You'll then have more money for seasonal updates like jackets and accessories.
Go to the outlet malls and sample sales if you can and pick up great designer bargains from the previous season that are still fashionable and fit your style.
Always pay a visit to discount fashion stores like H&M, Zara and Top Shop/Top Man. These stores carry good quality and highly trendy outfits at a fraction of the cost of a designer label.
Remember, if you have a great body and posture and you carefully pick out the right colors and styles to meet your body and complexion, you will look good no matter what's the price point of your clothes!!
