How to Have Great Clothes for Every Occasion
How to Afford Designer Clothing 2013
- Some designers also make lines for cheaper stores or create their own cheaper line. Some of these lines are Marc by Marc Jacobs, Versace Jeans Couture or Miu Miu (by Miuccia Prada).
- Don’t be too shocked by the high prices. Yes, they may be exaggerating, but most of the clothes are worth it. Not to mention that, if the shop assistants hear your complaints about the high prices, they will treat you with considerably less respect.
- Save some money. If you usually spend 95% of your monthly income for necessities (even if you/your parents/your spouse have a pretty large salary), it’s time to consider whether everything you spend your money on is truly a necessity. Spending money wisely will help cut off your unnecessary expenses and affording more quality products and services. The golden rule is, if you don’t need it or don’t enjoy it significantly, don’t spend your money on it.
- Save some money you spend on the bills by trying to finish your work before it gets dark outside and go to bed early. Turn off the lights when you’re not in the room (to save energy), take a shower instead of taking a bath (to save water), ride a bike instead of driving (to save fuel) and so on. You will help both the environment and your budget.
- Manage your money wisely when going out. If you used to go out often and spend lots for stuff you do not need, then these count as a waste.
- Consider getting a part-time job if you have the time. Every buck you have matters.
- If your wardrobe is full of non-designer clothes, look for the basics when you go shopping- a pair of black pants, a white shirt, a trench, a grey cardigan, a pair of black shoes, a suit and the little black dress: buy all these, in the most flattering version for your body type, and of the best quality you find. If you have these, you can mix-and-match them with the clothes you already have.
- If your wardrobe is a mixture between wise style choices and fashion mistakes, between good quality and not-so-good quality, then you need to get rid of most of your poor quality clothes and buy items that add a glam touch to the good quality ones you already have. You probably already have the neutral-looking basics; so start acquiring things that draw attention to themselves. Look for interesting details such as sequins or lace, geometric prints and neon colors.
- If your wardrobe consists of clothes that look good on the hanger, but don’t flatter you, sell them at a thrift store or on eBay or Amazon.com; and try looking for clothes that suit you next time. Buy some books on this subject; they’re very useful.
Tips
- Look your best when entering a designer store. Being not-so-well-dressed will make the shop assistants respect you even less than if you complained about the prices. The clothes don’t have to be necessarily designer; just good enough to make you look polished and well-groomed.
- Know that designer clothing is not only made for and worn by the models. Look for clothes that flatter you, regardless of their price; even if something’s very cheap, don’t buy it if it doesn’t look good on you.
- What else you can do is buy designer clothing and at the end of the season sell it to a second hand store. This way, you get your money back to buy new clothes. So, let’s say you have 500$ of spending money and you spend it all on a new wardrobe, but then it goes out of style the next season. If you sell your clothes and advertise that they’re designer, you’ll probably get most, or all of your money back.(plus, if you need extra cash for designer clothing you can also sell some of your old clothes,non-designer, etc.)
- If you happen to run into an item that is extraordinarily cheap for designer clothing (like $175 for a pair of pants), don’t buy it right away; try it on, see if it looks good on you, think if it fits your style, then buy it. Just because the price is incredibly low, it doesn’t mean that you should automatically buy it. If it’s not your style, then save up that “tiny” amount of money for something you truly like.
- You can also buy high quality clothes and accessories from brands that, while they’re not as renowned as the designer brands, also have very good stuff at lower prices (no more than $500 for otherwise extremely expensive items, like natural fur coats, for example). The average prices for these brands are $50-$350, with a few exceptions above and below these prices. They’re more affordable and almost as high-quality and unique as designer clothing. (J. Crew, Ralph Lauren, Anthropologie, etc.)
- Go shopping after you pay whatever taxes and bills you may need to pay, but before the 20th of each month. People have more money at the beginning of the month.
- Even extremely expensive clothing can have flaws. It rarely happens, but it does happen. Look for anything that seems suspect in the item’s appearance and/or feel. If you find anything, don’t buy that item.
Warnings
- Never buy knockoffs. They’re not a substitute for designer clothing. No matter how well it imitates the original, you can always tell a knockoff from the real thing. Remember that most knockoffs are made by laboured children who are hired illegally for a miserable salary and they’re often exploited; and if you’re buying a knockoff, you’re supporting this.
- Don’t turn shopping into an addiction. It’s true that a woman never has enough clothes, but being desperate about shopping is plain unhealthy and pointless, since you’ll never be happy with what you have anyway. It’s OK to keep buying clothes even after you’ve developed a large and various wardrobe, but keep it in normal limits.
- By any means, avoid going bankrupt because of lacking common sense in shopping. If you’re not wealthy, you should worry about every investment you make, and know whether it is worth it or not.
