What I Look For when Buying Fashion
10/27/2017
I am
becoming such a picky shopper. I like the clothes and accessories I but to have
a certain quality and overall style just so hat I know I I'd wear as much as
possible and I though today I'd share all these things with you.
One of
the things I'm the most picky about when buying clothes is the fabric; I love
when fabrics feel really bad quality, too plastic or too itchy. Fabrics play
such an important role in the overall look of a piece of clothing and they are
something I do care about a lot. I am not saying you have to go for the most
luxurious fabrics, just ones that feel great and also look great. Stores like
Zara and Topshop can be quite inconsistent about this and that's why I prefer going to the shops rather than
buying online most of the times.
Another
thing I am really strict about when buying clothes it's the cut and shape of
the piece of clothing. I want my clothes to have a nice cut (as some pieces
sometimes have the weirdest cuts ever) and also have a great shape. I don't
like when tops fall strangely on the body or when jeans or pants don't fit
great. I also have certain preferences when it comes to cuts and shapes
(especially with dresses and coats) and I try and look for pieces that I know
would flatter my body shape.
I used to
buy shoes whenever I found something I liked and now I have completely changed
my mind. I think shoes are one of the things you need to invest in the most;
they need to be good quality and comfortable and they also need to go with your
style. If you buy a really good quality shoe that doesn't go with your style
you'd have lost money as you won't wear it as much as you should. Also, make
sure it doesn't rub your feet or that is too tight because you'll end up in the
same situation.
I have
two different advices when it comes to buying bags. If you are buying more
affordable bags I'd recommend you go for some the ones that look better
quality. In the same shop you can find bags that look really cheap and other
that look fairly more expensive at the same price. The materials used on the
making of the bag are key in order to determine how good it looks and/ or
feels. However, if you are buying a more expensive bag I'd recommend you go for
fabrics that are very resistant (as the Longchamp Le Pliage Nylon) or, if you
are buying a leather bag, one that is a bit textured so that it is more
difficult to scratch.
Last but
not least I want to talk about jewellery. As it happens with shoes, I used to
buy really cheap jewellery anywhere and now I see it more as an investment. You
still don't need to spend hundreds of euros in jewellery; some brands like Tous
or PdPaola and even some small boutiques make great quality jewellery at a good
price point.
That's it
for today's post! What do you look for when buying fashion? Let me know in the
