Why Quality Clothing Matters
Buying quality items will save you money in the long run
Cheaper quality clothing items will almost always have a short lifespan, sometimes a lifespan so short that the item will only last through the first wear or one wash in the machine. To help you determine whether an item is worth it’s asking price, fashionistas around the world have created the “Cost per wear” formula.
Cost per Wear = Total cost of the Item / Number of times you’ll wear it
When in doubt, use this formula to help you decide if an item is really worth splurging on.
You’ll become more aware of your shopping habits
Because quality items are usually sold at a higher price, it’s logical to assume that shoppers would spend more time picking out quality items since these items are eating up more of their budget.
It’s easy to walk around a mall and mindlessly pick out jeans in your size that you ‘don’t need to try on’, but when the jeans are $150, you’re more likely to try them on to see if they fit well, provide comfortability and determine if they will need to be altered in any way, which adds an extra cost, thus making the jeans more expensive than the price listed on the price tag.
Resale Ability
Anyone who’s ever taken clothes to Plato’s Closet or used apps like Poshmark and Depop know that items they spent more on, usually sell for more later in life as well. For example, a Forever 21 sundress being re-sold for $20 is less likely to sell than a Free People dress being re-sold for $60. This is because shoppers are less inclined to buy used ‘fast fashion’ clothing items compared to quality garments that have been used or worn before.
Not to mention, the Free People dress still has numerous wears left in it, while the Forever 21 garment is most likely on its last wash before unraveling.
WARNING!
If you’re feeling overwhelmed after reading this article and realize that the majority of your purchases are cheap clothing items that hold no significant value to you, that’s okay and perfectly normal.
This article was not intended to convince you that you need to throw out your wardrobe and spend $4,000 on ‘quality’ deemed items, but rather encourage you to be more mindful next time you leave the house to do a ‘shopping haul’ at a fast fashion retailer.
Womens Graphic T-shirts Style Guide for Any Occasion
Too many graphic tees find their way into dark corners of our closets or are flung into a spring cleaning donation bin to be transported to the nearest thrift store - where badly designed tee shirts go to die. We’ve all had a giveaway shirt or impulse buy Gildan tee that simply becomes a useless piece in our wardrobe. Many people only keep a tee to paint their house or wear to bed. This is heartbreaking, but understandable as we definitely know how poorly some screen printed apparel can be designed and produced. Our mission is to create fashion forward designs on trending and high quality shirts so that they are worn over and over again.
We believe an incredible graphic tee can live a fulfilling life life without fearing the thrift store, and actually be the flare of a great outfit, casual or professional. If you’re in doubt, let us show you how it’s done!
Let’s start big. Professional. The casual notion of graphic t-shirts may be why many don’t make the cut when getting your work outfit together in the morning. Next time you miss the alarm and have a morning of chaos - turn to a blazer, the cure all be all of outerwear. Pair your fave blazer with a graphic t-shirt and slim fit jeans or matching dress pants and you will be slaying the game. Feel free to dress this cool-girl look up or down with heels and jewelry or flats and sunnies!
However, it’s summer now and there’s nothing wrong with rocking that relaxed style. We have a couple looks in mind for that too. Have you ever thought about pairing a graphic t-shirt with the classic staple pencil skirt? This creates a more casual but still boss-girl look that could go seamlessly from work to happy hour. This look was featured at Lollapalooza last year along with many other graphic tee outfit ideas. Another great option could be a pleated midi skirt for a sheek vintage look. A midi skirt adds more coverage and still has the high waisted belt line perfect for tucking the tee in and flatters any figure. If skirts don’t suit your style, fun dress pants have been trending recently. Looking at the variety of dress pant options available from wide cut to skinny leg with an array of waistlines, a graphic tee can dress down a serious dress pant while adding a creative twist.
Out of the office and into the weekend, it’s time to chill out and get comfy. High waisted jeans came back around 2015 and are still popular summer bottoms - from boyfriend jeans to paper-bag shorts. Both can be tastefully paired with graphic t-shirts- tucked in, cropped or even tied creating a stylish, effortless look. Boyfriend jeans make for a great compliment to a graphic t-shirt adding a slouchy street-wear style. Wearing an oversized t-shirt can also add an even more casual, but still cool-girl vibe. When it really heats up this summer you may reach for shorts; we recommend reaching for high waisted jean-shorts as a casual complementary garment. But if you want to stand out this season high waisted paper-bag shorts, often with a front bow tie, are making an entrance. And, we noticed these are yet another fun way to tuck in a graphic tee with added style from the unique waist line on these shorts.
