Focus on quality rather than quantity

It is better to possess 2 high quality suits that you will be wearing for several years, than 5 cheap models that will last you two seasons maximum. Yes, quality costs more, but in the long run you become a winner. This is especially true for shoes. When spending around 100 € in a pair in a consumer brand, it is generally considered to invest on quality. Only, they never hold much more than a year. To counter this, learn to identify the good manufacturing characteristics of the products, in this case observe the quality of the leather, seams and sole to choose a model that with maintenance can last longer.

Define your budget

Estimating what we will potentially have to invest when we want to remake his wardrobe is not necessarily obvious when we have the reflex to dress in the cheapest shops. Generally, good clothes cost more because of many things (detailed in our article Understanding the price of a garment), especially their longer life. Based on your prior research, you should be able to develop a list of brands to target based on your budget. Buy less, but smarter! Look at prices in several shops, do not buy impulsive and be patient. Determine how much you can spend in a suit, coat, shoes, etc. And analyze to try to find brands with optimal value for money. If the season of balances arrives, this can be a good opportunity to make good bargains.
