We do tend to hoard clothes here in the US and its mainly because of the many cheap imports that are arriving from China and so we wear an item of clothing once or twice and then we throw it back in the wardrobe never to be worn again. This is terribly convenient but we end up with two or three wardrobes full of clothes that are unsuitable for most occasions and it’s likely that they have gone out of fashion years ago. It’s time for you to get in there and to sort everything out and decide what you want to keep and what you want to throw away.
Once you figure out the clothing that you want to keep, you need to start shopping for clothes in a smarter manner and stop buying things just because they are cheap. Start dealing with reputable stores that sell things like Festival Outfits that are not only suitable for particular occasions but can be worn again later on. If you need some top tips to allow you to shop better, then maybe the following can help.
- Think about the long-term – Many people only shop for clothes that will do them for the next night out and they don’t think beyond the next weekend. It’s time to you to stop shopping like this and shopping for clothes that are not only fit for purpose today but can still be worn many years from now. Try not to get pulled down the style rabbit hole because you never know where it’s going to end. Take the classical closing that you know will stand the test of time and will still be trendy years from now.
- Stay away from the sales – What you need understand about sales in America is that it is a marketing ploy and just because the signs say that they are selling clothes cheaper than normal, it doesn’t necessarily mean that it’s true. If you see a sale sign on the front of a clothes store, try to resist the temptation to go in there and to spend all of your money. It’s time to start buying quality and spending a little bit more money.
- Stop filling up your wardrobe – There is going to be in your life and the rule is that when you buy something new then you have to give an item of clothing that you already have away to someone else. If you don’t do this then you’re going to have a wardrobe full of clothes again that you want people to find when you need them the most and they will just go out of style anyway. It also means that you will be more environmentally friendly and so that’s good news for everyone.
Everyone wants to look good and feel good by wearing their favourite pieces of clothing but you have to stop emptying out your purse and spending all of your hard earned cash on single wear clothing.
