One of the most important things that you can do for both peace of mind and a longer lasting wardrobe is to invest in higher quality pieces. It can be difficult to know exactly how to pick high quality pieces in your wardrobe because more commonly than ever before, low quality items are being sold in stores as fast fashion. While fast fashion is usually a bit more affordable and attainable to the common person, most items need to be replaced quickly, as they can deteriorate quickly over a short amount of time. This is a problem if you want to invest in a wardrobe, so here are tips on the items that you should invest in as well as what to look for when you’re trying to upgrade your wardrobe with higher quality items.
Accessories
While accessories may not be your first thought when it comes to upgrading to higher quality wardrobe essentials, they are one of the most important to upgrade first. The reason why so many people invest in higher quality bags, belts, and other accessories is because these are the items that tend to be used everyday and therefore can deteriorate much more quickly. Look for a standard utility buckle and a belt made with pure leather with high quality craftsmanship so it will last longer and be less likely to need replacing.
Apparel
The clothing that you wear may be your first choice when it comes to deciding what items should be upgraded in quality. It can be especially difficult to find high quality clothing without breaking the bank. However, if you know what to look for, you’ll be much more likely to get high quality apparel that will last without breaking the bank. Shop thrift stores and look for authentic labels and know your fabrics so that you’re aware of what you should and shouldn’t be spending your hard earned cash on.
