Designer Clothes Buying Guide

You've seen clothes in our designer store, and you may have wanted to shop for some for yourself, but if you are unsure about what makes designer clothes different from other apparel, then you may be hesitant about buying designer clothing and accessories. This designer clothes buying guide will show you how to buy designer clothes, shoes and accessories that are right for you.

Buying Designer Clothes:

1. Quality and fit: If you look closely at all designer pieces, you'll see how carefully everything is made, and when you wear them, you'll feel the luxury. Designer clothing is cut with a great attention to detail and is sewn to be as flattering as it can be. Designer shoes are made with the highest quality materials and are made to last. Even designer handbags are meticulously constructed. Part of the higher cost is due to the finer materials and more careful construction that gives them their luxurious look and feel.

2. Confidence: When you look successful and are well-dressed, you'll feel better about yourself. And when you like the way you look and you feel good in your clothes, others can sense it. Designer clothes and accessories radiate success. Whether you've already made it and want to let others know or you are just faking it until you do, designer accessories will send the message that you are confident and in control.

3. Trendy and sophisticated: After designer styles come out, other companies rush to make knock-offs. When you buy the originals, you'll have the trendy styles in your closet before everyone else. However, designer clothes and designer accessories are not throwaway trends. Since your pieces will be in style longer, you'll get more use out of them, especially designer dresses and designer suits.

4. Tomorrow's heirlooms: Fashion fans scour thrift stores for them. Daughters rejoice when they find them in their mothers' attics. What are they? They're the designer clothes, designer shoes and designer accessories of the past. When regular shoes are old, they're just old, but when designer shoes are old, they become collector's items. The iconic styles and quality materials make vintage designer pieces highly sought after for many years.

Starting a Designer Clothing Collection:

1. By designer: Look through fashion magazines to see the different ready-to-wear looks available. If there is one designer whose style you admire, then don't hesitate to only purchase pieces by him or her. Designers work to create a signature look from season to season, and when you wear designer dresses from a specific label, your style will become just as distinctive.

2. By country: The style of every country is evident in the designer clothing that is produced there. If you'd like to give your wardrobe a French, Italian, British or American flair, look for discount designer clothes by a variety of designers from that country. Look online for videos of the Fashion Week from each country to see what styles are in every season.

3. With certain pieces: If you have a favorite item of clothing, you may enjoy buying several pieces from different designers. For example, if you love shoes, then you will love to indulge in some designer shoes. Designer handbags are also versatile pieces perfect for beginning a collection.

4. Accenting your current wardrobe: If you'd like to have just a few pieces of designer clothing, you can choose to buy quality basics that you know you'll wear often or you can choose accent pieces that will liven up your wardrobe. Basic designer clothing, like jeans or blouses, can be worn with many things, so you'll have several outfits with a designer touch. If you'd like a wardrobe accent, try a designer jacket that could be worn with pants, a dress or more. Designer accessories are another great way to accent your wardrobe. A designer wallet can be one of your signature pieces. Designer sunglasses can be worn with other clothes to give you a glamorous look anytime.

What to Look for in Designer Clothing:

1. Fit: Be sure to accurately measure yourself before purchasing any designer clothing. Read Overstock.com's measurement guides (for men here and for women here) to learn the proper ways to measure.

2. Genuine pieces: As you are looking online for information about designer wallets and discount designer clothing, you may see many warnings to look for genuine designer pieces. Some fake pieces will have a name that sounds like a designer name, but it is intentionally misspelled. The quickest way to see that you have a fake piece is to check the label; if the name is wrong, then it isn't genuine. Other fake designer pieces will also have a fake label, but if you inspect the stitching and materials, you'll see that the imitation pieces pale in comparison.

3.Guarantee: There are many people who create fake designer pieces, but when you shop on Overstock.com, you don't need to worry about ending up with a cheap imitation. We do everything we can to make sure that we only have genuine designer clothes and designer accessories.
