- Look good and feel good so the clothing looks good on you.
- To make the most of your shopping experience, have a plan!
- Before you leave your home, grab any merchandise returns, store credits, and gift certificates.
- Wear easy on / easy off clothing and shoes; if you’re buying a gown, bring your own heels – don’t approximate; if you need a strapless bra or pantyhose, bring them along.
- On average, people spend between 5-10% of their net income on clothing. Therefore, make decisions that will stand the test of time. Classic, well-made clothing stands the test of time.
- Assess your lifestyle and buy for that lifestyle. If you’ve changed, so should the style of clothing that you buy. If you’re still wearing the same clothing you did a decade ago, then you are probably missing something.
- Remember, fashion is fleeting, but style is forever.
- Make a list of your favorite colors, fabrics and styles before you begin to shop.
There are exceptions, but comfort is just as important as fashion.
