Is Designer Clothing Worth the Cost?

by: Angela Ayles
Do you ever wonder whether or not designer clothing is worth the cost? Do you think that some people are out of their minds for spending so much on a simple piece of clothing? If so, keep reading and you’ll find out why individuals who refuse to buy designer clothing may actually end up spending more on their wardrobes than those who wear haute couture designs. Here is a list of benefits associated with designer clothing. Hopefully this will clear up any doubts you may have had about spending a little extra money on high end designs. Longevity As you probably know by now, designer clothing is made with the highest quality of materials, 100 percent of the time. You know what you’re getting and they aren’t trying to trick you. They are telling you very clearly – this piece was designed by the best designers in the industry and features the highest quality materials possible – but you’ll have to pay the price, otherwise we’re not making any profit. As a result, you’ll pay a little more in the beginning but that piece will likely remain in top condition for years and years. Status This one is a little materialistic but let’s be realistic – there’s a little part of each of us that want the designer clothing because of the label. Chanel didn’t get their consumer-base strictly from the materials they use. They built a name for themselves through their incredible logo and the designs they use on a regular basis. It’s okay to purchase clothes for this reason but you generally shouldn’t purchase them only for this reason. Comfort Once you realize how much time you actually spend in your clothes (which for most of us, is approximately 95% of our lives) you’ll realize how important it is to choose the right clothing. Have you ever noticed that individuals who purchase designer clothing never complain that it’s itchy and uncomfortable? Me either. Cashmere, silk and satin are the most comfortable fabrics available. For most of us feeling good is just as important as looking good. Not only will you look good in designer clothing but you’ll feel good too. I hope this clears up some of the questions you may have had regarding the benefits of choosing designer clothing. Knowing how the clothing is made and which types of materials are best to purchase will give you the upper hand on your next shopping experience. Don’t let other designers fool you into thinking you’re getting authentic pieces when you’re not. If a deal seems too good to be true it, it probably is.

When someone decides to select and buy their clothes online they are opening up the doors to a wide world of choices that include the latest fashions, hard to find pieces and discounted rates. Avoid the rush and discomfort of shopping at a mall by shopping at home and spend more time relaxing with family and friends. If you have a formal engagement coming up, don’t hit the shops and elbow your way to the perfect top in your size. Choose online for the latest styles and colors with a large stockpile of your favourite size.
Finding clothes to it your body perfectly can be quite daunting. There are so many things to consider that includes fabrics, colors, styles, cuts and contouring. It can be quite easy to finding a perfect outfit by sticking to some simple rules. Don’t get caught out by what your friends think when you are trying clothes on, they may think they are doing good but they won’t be the one spending vast amounts on clothes that may only be worn once. Trust your own instinct and listen but don’t base your decisions on the advice of others. To ensure you have a great shopping experience while on the Internet, we recommend the following tips. If you feel comfortable wearing heels, choose shoes with a 1inch heel and notice how dramatically taller and slimmer you appear. Get you bra refitted every few years to ensure your bras fit comfortable and won’t cling or hang from you. Underwear shouldn’t be tight or too loose; this can create unwanted lines and make your clothes hang incorrectly. When creating a wardrobe select the clothes that favour the shape of your body and build your style around these cuts, fabrics and colors. If you have wide shoulders avoid boatneck tops otherwise this shirt can be used to accentuate a bustline or contour the waist.
Handbags and accessories are another issue altogether. With such a variety of sizes, colors and styles there is always that wide belt or large handbag to flatter shape. Clothes should always fit with the accessories but not always be too matching as this can create a bland look. If you don’t like accessories brushing against your body, go for a strapless handbag. Belts can be used to contour waist. Rather large belts can cut the body in half, avoid this look if you think it is unflattering. The latest fashions are not always best. There are so many color, cuts to consider and they won’t fit you everytime. Choose selectively or buy clothes that resemble clothes you already have. Colors are a great way to show off or hide parts of the body. Bright clothing can attract and are great as a top to highlight a favourite asset. The same applies to dark colors; these can be used to flatter your bum or waist. Create a look that will leave a lasting impression by mix and matching the fabrics of your clothing while keeping the color the same shade. This creates a funky look that won’t be bulky or uncomfortable. Remember to avoid clingy or baggy clothing, as these will distort your figure.
Keep these tips in mind when you are next browsing the online shopping sites. Have an eye out for clearances and sales but be ware that they are on sale for a reason. Create a look that is timeless and practical rather than expensive and ‘gotta have that now look.’ Select your clothes online, draw up a wishlist then step instore for fast shopping or order online for convenient and fast delivery straight to your door. Shop around to be sure you have value for money as many stores have similar styles at a cheaper price.
