If you’re anything like me, each month you promise yourself that you’ll stop making those payday high street binges. Your wardrobe is full of hoards of things you’ll never wear again, and maybe haven’t ever worn! It's time to start thinking sensibly about exactly how you're spending your well-earned money on fashion, and investment pieces are the way to go.
Paying more for staples that you can wear over and over makes an incredible amount of sense. High quality pieces with that timeless, elegant style can be worn regularly, mixed and matched with other staples in your wardrobe. The end result is a look that is always on point. It will reduce the clutter of a wardrobe full of clothes you never wear, remove the stress of finding the perfect outfit, and probably even save you some cash, since every purchase is of high quality, which makes you less impulsive.
If you want to make a start, then McArthurGlen Designer Outlets are the perfect place to do this. Promising the ultimate luxury shopping experience with over 800 designer and luxury brands available with up to 60% off the RRP, what better place to start your journey?
But where to begin? Here are our top tips for buying investment pieces.
Keep it timeless
Investment shopping is all about choosing things that you can wear again and again over time. This isn’t JUST about the quality of the piece, it’s about the style. Steer clear of going for anything too trend led, keep it classic and classy and you’ll be able to wear it forever.
Shop Emotionally
As we’ve said already, you’re going to want to get a lot of wear out of your investment piece, so it’s important that you love it! If you’re at all unsure, then think carefully about whether or not you really want it. If you can picture yourself wearing it, if you feel it matches other pieces in your wardrobe, and if you feel good in it, you’ll know it’s the one.
Make Sure It Fits
If you’re going to spend a lot of money on an item, you’ll want it to be perfect. ALWAYS try it on and make sure it’s the perfect fit. Alterations are always a good thing to consider.
It’s All About The Upkeep
Use your favourite bag, treat the leather, get your shoes re-heeled, keep your dresses in a garment bag – all of these things will keep your clothes looking brand new for longer. It’ll also make them feel special each time you get them out.
