During a recent workshop, I gave participants 3 Black Trail Blazers, tagged over and asked them to put the price order of the jackets in. No one guessed correctly.
That’s because buying clothes is not always obvious.
Why you need quality of investment
Investing in quality works is the key to creating a lasting wardrobe. They are the basis for what you wear week by week, so (literally) know where to invest in your hard-earned money.
Investment quality is not about spending money on expensive labels. It’s about understanding the value of what it’s worth. You can find high-quality pieces in all price ranges, here’s how to find them:
1. Overall appearance
The first thing to note is the look of the clothes on the clothes. If the clothes look slightly weak or are stuffed on the hanger, it will only worsen over time. Do not buy any knitted clothing that is showing signs of pulling thread or swaying. It may be just a small detail, but remember that it hasn’t even been worn yet, so it’s unlikely to last.
2. Fabric quality
Check fabric labels. I do this for every piece of clothing I choose for my client. Natural fibers tend to be more expensive, but wear and breathe are better than synthetic fibers. For example, wool has its shape and still looks smart after multiple wear. Viscose is an unstable fabric that, unlike silk, may change shape after washing.
3. Craftsmanship
Looking inside the clothes at seams, linings, zippers and belts. The clothes should look neat and clean inside, without missing stitches and no loose threads. A belt with an interior (or facing) lining is a sign of making quality clothing. The sticky zipper shows that the brand is in trouble during its manufacturing process. The proper tailored zipper is sturdy and easy to pull up and down.
4. Suitable and construction
A quality piece of fragment makes the body pleasing and does not restrict the return to its shape after exercise. There are many well-made clothes, not all the details can be seen. Darts, seams and lining are the details you can find. Patterns and cuts are not visible, so it always takes time when trying out garments.
5. Mode Alignment
Matching stripes at the seams, printing and checking, takes more time and therefore more money. Most mid-priced brands will match obvious seams, such as the front seams of the check-in jacket. Premium Premium apparel will have all seams matching, which is why it costs more.
Improving investment products will make your overall appearance more refined and professional. As a result, you will see and feel confident. Plus, it can save you the way you have to update your wardrobe every season. You can layer fresh pieces each season.
