A quality garment is not measured by its price, but by the way it is made and how it feels when worn. Many people make impulse purchases and then wonder why the garment doesn't look good after a few wears.
The truth is, there are clear signs that you can recognize a well-made garment right in the store. Without any special knowledge, without being a fashion expert. You just need to know where to look and what to feel .
In this article we will show you exactly that.
1. Matter - the first and most important signal
Feel the garment. If it doesn't feel good in your hand, it won't feel good when you wear it.
What to look for:
-
thick but soft material
-
a feeling of "heaviness", not emptiness
-
uniform structure
What should make you doubt:
-
too thin material
-
rough or “plastic” feel
-
excessive shine for no reason
A quality garment can be felt , not just seen.
2. The seams say it all
Seams are the most common place where savings are made.
Check:
-
Are they right?
-
Are they even?
-
Are there any protruding threads?
Turn the garment inside out. If the inside is neat and clean, that's a good sign. Quality doesn't lie on the inside.
3. The cut should "stand", not be adjusted
The good garment:
-
falls naturally
-
does not pull
-
does not require constant maintenance
If still in the trial:
-
you pull down
-
straighten your shoulders
-
adjust the hem
The cut is probably not good.
4. The details reveal the level
Quality lives in the little things.
Pay attention to:
-
buttons - are they sewn on securely?
-
zippers - do they move smoothly?
-
hems - are they even?
Cheap clothing often has a “good look” but poor details. Quality clothing is the opposite.
5. How the fabric behaves when moving
Lightly crush the material with your hand and release.
-
if it smooths out quickly - a good sign
-
if it stays wrinkled - it will look tired on the first day
A quality garment looks good for longer , not just on the hanger.
6. Composition isn't everything, but it matters
Don't be fooled by the "100% thing" label alone.
It is important:
-
how the material was processed
-
How thick is it?
-
how is it combined
Sometimes a mixture of materials is better than a "pure" composition, if it is done cleverly.
7. Ask yourself the most important question
Before you buy, ask yourself one thing: "Will I wear it for at least two seasons and in different situations?"
If the answer is "yes" - this is a quality purchase. If it's "just for one occasion" - think again.
8. Quality clothing doesn't scream
She:
-
doesn't rely on huge captions
-
not too "modern"
-
doesn't try to impress by force
She just looks good .
Conclusion
Recognizing a quality garment is not a talent, but a habit. The more you pay attention to fabric, cut, and details, the less likely you are to buy the "wrong" item.
And people who buy quality also buy consciously . They value their belongings. And they value their time.
