Shop like a fashion professional: Here's how
Shopping like a fashion professional is worth it - whether in the online shop or in the local shop. You not only stand out from the crowd with your style, you can also find real bargains. We show how to do it.
Shop like a fashion professional: research
- With stylish clothes it is often love at first sight. No reason to access it right away. Anyone who buys fashion like a professional is looking for the right part and the right price.
- You can often find the same or at least a similar item of clothing in another shop cheaper. If you shop frequently at the online provider Asos, an app can help you here. With the Asos Style Match app, searching is easier. You simply upload a photo of the garment that you did. All parts that look similar to this are then displayed.
- Also use vouchers or discounts that are plentiful on the Internet. This is how you save money when shopping. Free vouchers for the best online shops can always be found in our voucher area.
- Note: You can also find vouchers for fashion and fashion shops such as ASOS.
Cycle of clothing
- Fashion is fast moving: what you like today often hangs in your closet tomorrow - forever. Over time, this not only costs a lot of money, but also space.
- Professionals don't always buy new. Second hand is ideal for everyone who likes to wear a new outfit more often. You can bring worn clothing to men or women on portals such as a clothes circle or on eBay classifieds. You may also find your new favorite item there.
- We have summarized the best tips and portals for selling old clothes in a separate article for you.
Don't shop after the occasion
- A big mistake that fashion professionals don't make: shopping for a specific occasion. If you are invited to a wedding and are looking for the right outfit, pick something that you can wear otherwise.
- So stand in front of a breathtaking evening dress, ask yourself if you can wear it for another occasion. If not, the dress will wear a sad existence in the closet after wearing it once.
- Use clothing that is variable. A chic costume is suitable for a wedding, but can also be styled with an office outfit.
- Incidentally, not only should the occasion not be a leitmotif, the season also only plays a minor role in fashion. The next summer is sure to come - but then summer dresses are also more expensive. On the other hand, real bargains can be found out of season.
Shop in unusual places
- As a woman, the first way leads you safely to the women's department - whether in the local shop or in the online shop.
- A look at the neighboring department can be worthwhile. In the men's department you can find basics such as T-shirts cheaper. You also stand out from the crowd with oversized and boystyle and create your own look.
- You can best underline this style with vintage or other trend pieces. However, you will hardly find such in online shops. Second hand shops or flea markets are real treasure chests here.
- You can also easily redesign old clothes with our tips. You can read about how to do this in another article.
Online shopping is possible every day and around the clock. ABOUT YOU is a good example of one of these shops. It is different when shopping on site. Further articles explain why shops are closed on Sundays and where shopping is possible on Sundays.
