A common wardrobe mistake is not investing in quality clothing and shoes.  


You get more value if you spend your money on good quality because:


? you?ll wear them for years,

? they?ll add sophistication to your existing wardrobe, and

? they will elevate your entire wardrobe.



Quality and Price are Not the Same


When shopping, it?s easy to assume a higher price tag means a better quality product. But, not every expensive item is quality and not every quality item is expensive.


I discovered the hard way that price does not equal quality.


I?m sure you?ve had a similar experience when you were disappointed in an expensive purchase that didn?t last or meet your expectations. 


Now, I focus on quality not price when shopping. 


Here?s my best tips on how to identify quality in clothing and shoes. When you know what to look for, you can find quality clothes and shoes at reasonable prices!

 


Quality Clothing


Higher-quality clothing will not only last for years, it?s also easier to care for. Have you ever washed cheap clothing and it comes out a size smaller or a wrinkled mess?


So what makes clothing good quality?


A good quality garment will have better fabric and better construction. It will have smooth fabric, neat seams, tailoring, and beautiful detailing.


Become a smart shopper and inspect every item before you buy. 


???????????????If you shop online, be sure to check the return policy since you can not see and feel the item before buying.


Here?s what you want in your clothing:


? Clothes that are durable to last more than a couple of seasons. 

? Clothes with sturdy construction that you can move in without ripping seams. 

? Clothing with quality zippers, buttons and fasteners.

? Clothes that keep their shape and will not stretch or shrink after wearing or washing.

? Clothes that do not wrinkle easily.

? Clothes that fit the shape of your body smoothly and not restrict your movements. 

? Fabric that is smooth, tightly woven, and will not snag easily.

? Fabric that is a good weight that you can not see through.

? Fabric that will not pill or fade after wearing or washing.

? Clothes that feel good on your skin.


And most importantly, you want to shop for clothes that look high-quality! Wearing quality clothing elevates your style and can transform your look from frumpy to fabulous.


To judge if a garment is good quality, you need to:


? Feel it.

? Try it on.

? Look at the fabric content.

? Stretch and test the fabric.

? Look inside the garment at the seams and construction.

? Look at the tailoring.

? Look for details, like a lining, extra buttons and thread.



Quality Shoes




Invest in quality shoes because your feet are worth it!


Quality shoes will usually fit your feet better, feel better and last longer. Leather is always a good option, instead of synthetic materials.


Here?s what you want in your shoes:


? Shoes that fit your foot properly and are comfortable.

? Shoes with sturdy construction and quality materials. 

? Shoes with good arch support and soles.

? Shoes made of materials that can be cleaned easily.

? Shoes that are durable to last for years.



??????????????So next time you?re shopping for clothes and shoes, you can use these tips to be an expert at choosing quality.  

 

Happy Shopping!
