How To Spot The Best Luxury Apparel

By Shirley Wright


Though cheap clothes offer a cost-effective solution to those who would like to buy new clothes but lack enough money, they often have lots of shortcomings too. This is the category where you can get clothes that might have a hole within just a period of six months after you buy it. Some even lose their color the moment you wash it for the first time. The consequences of buying cheap clothes are often far-reaching than benefits. One common quality of expensive clothes is their ability to retain their quality for a long time. If you want to buy something that lasts, here are ways to detect luxury apparel.

Check for metal zippers. Top quality clothes are often fixed with metal zippers. Plastic zippers never last. In fact, they do not stay zipped and may leave you exposed without even noticing. This is just an indication of how much you will have to begin repairing your clothes sooner if they had plastic zippers. Metal zippers, on the other hand, stay zipped and can last years without breaking down.

Quality clothes often have spare buttons. Therefore, if you are making your selection and you want to determine if the cloth is of high quality or not, just look if it has spare buttons. A cloth that has spare buttons shows that the designer trusted that it would last long enough to need spare buttons. That is why such designers include the extra buttons.

Often be keen on the label. When choosing clothes in a store, one of the most accurate indicators of good quality is the label. There are common labels that are known to represent high quality. Fiber extracted from animals or plants as wool, linen, cotton or silk is often many people's favorite. However, synthetic is slowly rising to become many people's favorite.

Strong stitch is an indication of quality. Cheap cloths often contain lots of grey areas, including in stitching. Their designers often try to reduce the cost of making the garments and would compromise on quality just to finish the creation fast and with little materials used. That is why such clothes often reflect poor workmanship put into its creation.

How a garment is cut shows the level of its quality. Most telltale signs of poor quality are usually not easy to spot. Sometimes you have to be extra keen to be able to identify certain steps that were skipped while designing and creating the garment.

Concentrate on the quality of both the buttons and the button holes. If you are good with choosing clothes, it would be easy for you to determine a good quality button when you see it. High-quality buttons are fit on high-quality garments. Likewise, you should check the button holes to see how well they are designed.

High-quality garments are sewn together with high-quality thread. Check the quality of the thread to determine how well it holds the garment together. This would be an accurate way to determine the general quality of the garment.
