How to dress in cheap clothes and look your best

A Challenge for a 21st Century Explorer

Not everyone can find a beautiful and cheap thing, so sometimes this is the most exciting part of shopping.

Bookmark your favorite online stores and visit them during sales periods. This is the time when the secret is revealed. The most unusual things remain for sale: complex colors, ultra-fashionable styles, non-standard colors. That is exactly what frightened the ordinary buyers and turned out to be too tough for him. If you know how to combine it correctly, and find something of your own, your style will definitely be one of a kind.

Temporary can become permanent

Let's say you're on a picnic and suddenly remember that you didn't bring extra socks or a T-shirt. Or it's getting cold outside, and you want to throw something warm and cozy on your shoulders, but there is no time to go to your favorite store. Inexpensive stores with a basic assortment of practical, simple clothes in regular colors and indefinite silhouettes will help to cope with the situation.

Feel the potential new thing: she will have to spend at least a couple of days with you, so the fabric should not be pricked, and the seams should not creep in your hands. Color, print on a T-shirt or stripes on socks in our case do not matter. But if suddenly you like a thing and you decide to leave it, then you will have to take care of it more carefully than higher quality and more expensive things from your wardrobe.

Emotions, forward

Trending trendy accessories and clothes should only be bought from cheap brands, if only for the reason that wearing this summer's hit next summer will be very, very wrong. And the clothes of expensive brands are of high quality, and it is always sad to throw away clothes in perfect condition just because the season is over.

If you liked the color and unusual cut or you just “have never had this before”, feel free to take it! You don't even have to try it on, put it on a couple of times - you will cheer yourself up, and after a few washes, the thing will still have to be thrown away.

You are looking for a berry, but you find a mushroom

You planned to spend money on updating your seasonal wardrobe: buy basic black shoes, a beige coat, simple blue jeans. And suddenly we found ourselves in a store where you can buy such things much cheaper than you expected. In order not to waste time on repeated shopping, pay attention to the following points.

Composition

If you see a jumper for 600 rubles, which includes 20% cashmere, this may well be true. That's just cashmere there from short fibers, which means that after two days of wearing it will begin to peel off (become covered with pellets) and this process cannot be stopped either by shampoos for delicate fibers or by machines that shave off the pellets. The same applies to inexpensive natural silk: it is loose and can easily tear or form a puff.

Give preference to inexpensive raw materials from which there will be no unpleasant surprises: cotton, viscose, polyester.

Colour

The white color of fabrics with a cheap composition tends to turn yellow, and stains can also be washed off worse on it. Black, chocolate and dark blue can lose their color after several washes: cheap dyes are often unstable. Therefore, look for middle solutions: shades of gray, beige, multifaceted green, coral-peach tones also gently transform over time.

The size

If you buy imitation leather shoes for 1,500 rubles, keep in mind that they will not stretch or spread along the foot. Try it on so that it is comfortable and in size right now.

Additional elements

Manufacturers of economical clothing and footwear always have a choice of three components: cheap material, accessories, and quality of tailoring. Bows, buckles, zippers, buttons will be of poor quality and can break at the most inopportune moment, and besides, they cost money. Therefore, the simpler the better, especially when it comes to basic things.

Finally, if you liked the price of the item, take a step back and ask yourself, “Do I like this color? Does it suit me? How does this thing sit? Does it disfigure the figure? Where can I put it on? Who can I meet in this?"

Style is determined not only by what we wear, but also by how we make a choice and how quickly things rotate in the wardrobe.

I have a client whose wardrobe base consists of 12 items. These items were chosen carefully and meticulously, everything is in its place: fit, cut lines, shade of color. A couple of things were sewn to order, and in some of the purchased ones the buttons were changed. And the rest of the wardrobe is assembled from what is described above: bright, cheap, disposable.

Here is what she herself says about this state of affairs: “These are my vitamins, the wind for change, I can’t stand being the same from day to day! But I don’t raise my hand to buy expensive things for a couple of exits, I’d better take a training course or help a dog kennel.”

People will continue to buy cheap clothes and shoes, because it's cool (any fool can buy expensive and beautiful ones), because with the money saved, you can go on a trip or just have fun with friends and for a thousand more reasons that you can give me yourself. The main thing is to surrender to this vice with knowledge of the matter and all the nuances.
