4 Fashion Items to Splurge On
For many women, fashion is the ultimate form of self-expression. Now, when we say fashion, we don’t necessarily mean what is trendy or popular. We’re talking about clothes that look good and feel good on you, and make you feel like you’re being true to yourself. The clothes that you wear have the power to change your mood, make you feel sexy or powerful or professional, or any other way that you might want to feel. It also communicates to others about your personality and just a little bit about who you are in the world.
While buying new clothes constantly is expensive and exhausting (and, in our opinion, totally unnecessary), there are some items of clothing that are totally worth splurging on. If personal style is important to you, or if you’re just embarking on your very own style journey, here are our suggestions for which fashion items you should spend a little extra money on.
Intimates
This may seem counterintuitive to some. After all, for most of us, very few people will actually see your underwear (but if they will, more power to you!). But buying quality bras and panties isn’t about other people, it’s about how they make you feel. Buying pretty women’s underwear and well-fitting bras can make you feel more confident and sexy, no matter what else you’re wearing. Spending a little bit extra here is worth it for the quality and the fit.
Staples and Basics
If you’re newer to expressing yourself through fashion, it can feel overwhelming when thinking about how to get started. One of the easiest ways to build confidence in your clothing is to buy some high-quality fashion staples. Staples are a few basic pieces, often simple cuts in neutral colors, around which you can create outfits.
Think about well-structured classic shirts and that pair of pants that make you look like you work out constantly, things that you can mix and match, working in a few more adventurous accent pieces. Because you’ll be wearing them often, it’s important to invest in high-quality items that won’t deteriorate or start to look shabby. We promise it’s worth it!
Work wear
Professional clothing is a fashion category all on its own. If you’re a working woman, you know how important it is to look and feel put together at your job. In theory, you should be able to wear whatever you want to work, as long as you’re competent and good at your job. Unfortunately, in reality, women are scrutinized and judged more harshly at work than their male counterparts.
Splurging on some nice work attire and other office accessories can help you be taken more seriously. Looking professional is an important factor in feeling confident in the office, allowing you and your work to get the respect that you deserve.
Shoes
We know. A fashion article recommending women buy shoes. As Miranda Priestly would say, groundbreaking. Well, it may be passe, but we still think that shoes are worth splurging on. Shoes are like the punctuation at the end of your fashion sentence; without the right pair, the outfit is incomplete.
On top of this, shoes protect our feet from the wear and tear of daily life. Long gone are the days where women had to choose between looking good and feeling good. In the past few years, many companies have started making shoes that are both fashionable and orthopedic, providing the support needed for healthy feet. You might have to spend a bit more up front, but if it means you get to the end of your day without pain, it’s totally worth it!
Your personal style says a lot about who you are, so don’t be afraid to spend a little extra to let your true self shine through! Splurging on these fashion items will help you look, and feel, your best.
