It helps to understand the basics of clothing care. Your clothing pieces come with complicated symbols that explain exactly how they must be washed. And avoid the dryer.

Take care of your stuff

Don't buy clothes for a fantasy you. Because you may end up with a huge wardrobe with nothing to wear. Take into account how you spend your daily life, how many similar items you already have and the time of the year (warm, cold) when making new purchases.

Buy for reality

Spend time researching how different items are supposed to fit. Because one of the reasons we jump into buying new stuff is that nothing from out closets seem to fit right.

Knowing your fit

Cheaper clothes usually mean cheaper material and bad resistance. But quality doesn’t have to be expensive. You can find secondhand quality clothing items in special stores or online. Just don't use the quality excuse to spend even more on stuff you don’t need.

Going for quality

You spend hours trying on clothes, you spend hundreds (maybe more!) buying those clothes, then you open your closet and, lo and behold, you see nothing worth wearing. It's a common dilemma and a financially wasteful one, too. Here are some common traps we fall into when we shop and how to get more bang for your buck.
