Through the years, women’s ensembles have consisted of different types of clothing for the different seasons. Tight clothing, in particular, is one of the favorites on catwalks and even on the streets because they are comfortable and make women feel good. And with an industry worth at least $368 billion (2019 stats), they have become closet essentials for ladies. There are many considerations to make before choosing certain clothing items for your wardrobe, and here are a few of them.
- Your skin type vs fabric type
Certain types of clothing may look appealing. Indeed it is one of the reasons why ladies choose them. For others, it makes them feel sexy, trendy, and sharp. However, you have to consider the effect on your skin. Sometimes, you might experience some irritation because of the material or seams. In fashion, there are four types of seams: lapped, plain, French, and abutted. Each kind serves a purpose depending on the dress cut. Unfortunately, none of the four can prevent textile contact dermatitis if you wear certain types of clothing frequently.
Additionally, some materials like polyester cause allergies in some people. A solution will be to use undercover tape for those itchy seams. Additionally, choose the right undergarment to prevent direct contact with your skin. This includes bras like those on ThirdLove’s channel and panties that work for you. If none of these work for you, you may have to find other clothing options.
- Consider the season
This is one of the most important things to consider when choosing clothes for your wardrobe, and things like material and style matter. For example, it may not be appropriate to wear a woolen jacket in the summer or a bikini during winter. In both cases, you put your health at risk. So whenever you are shopping for new clothes, consider if it is the right time to wear them, unless you are shopping ahead of time. To be safe, you can consider getting more versatile items that would require minimal tweaking to be weather-appropriate. Aside from the fabric and design of the outfits, some people consider color when shopping. You’re likely to see more warm-colored outfits in stores during the winter and cool colors during the summer.
- Mobility
Many fashion items look good on paper but are not practical for movement. The combination of lithe and restriction sounds odd. That’s because lithe is supposed to mean graceful and ease of movement. Unfortunately, some clothing may not offer that even though they look good. For example, a knee-length pencil-cut dress restricts excessive movement of the legs. Therefore, you may not be able to walk in long strides as you would in loose-fitting pants or a flair-cut skirt. Additionally, body movement is further restricted when the material doesn’t have that much stretch. In this case, it will be better to choose an outfit with spandex, an elastic synthetic fiber.
- Consider your age
There are some timeless pieces that anyone of any age can wear. However, other fashion items and styles may not be appropriate for certain ages. For example, children mostly wear dainty, light, and soft colors, while teenagers and young adults prefer bolder colors. Also, the style of the dress matters. For example, younger adults can get away with mini skirts with a revealing neckline.
On the other hand, someone in their late 50s may get side-eyed. Even minor details like the type of collar could turn an outfit from appropriate to the opposite. This is not to say that you cannot venture a little out of what is considered appropriate for your age. How you style the item could make a difference. Fortunately, there is so much information on how to style clothing items to achieve a certain look and have as much fun as possible.
The fashion industry is growing and evolving, and it is a lot of fun to put pieces together and achieve a look. There is some truth to the idea that looking good could make you feel good and so it won’t be surprising if you want certain stunning outfits. However, it would help if you were as comfortable as possible. Of course, there are some pieces that you will only take to specific events, and there’s no harm in indulging a little. However, try your best to fill your closet with more comfortable and stylish pieces. And most importantly, ensure that they are health-friendly. Hopefully, these tips will help you get started.
