It’s no secret that in the last year or so we have all had to adapt to live in different ways. From lockdowns to social distancing the way we went about our day to day lives has been altered for the time being anyway.
With the pandemic sweeping the world we have spent more and more time at home and as such our designer fashion pieces that we used to wear with pride out and about haven’t really seen the light of day in quite some time. As the pandemic worsened and we spent more time at home our wardrobe drifted more towards the comfortable and convenient as opposed to the stylish and fashionable number’s we used to wear on a regular basis.
So now that things have been relaxed and our social lives are returning to normal what can we do to make the most of our designer fashion pieces we know and love.
Here are some of our golden rules to help make the most out of your designer fashion items.
As I mentioned earlier, we have been living in a different way than we did previously with lockdowns keeping us indoors it is perfectly reasonable that some of our favourite fashionable items may no longer fit us.
And that is ok it has been a challenging time and our routines have been altered however don’t feel obliged to keep a designer fashion piece that used to fit. We all change and grow and what once fit us perfectly perhaps now won’t look quite the same nor will it provide you with the same level of happiness and comfort.
If it doesn’t fit, then consider moving it on to a friend or family member so they can benefit from it or alternatively if it is in great condition, you can sell it and recoup some funds to grab some new pieces.
As with spending any significant amount of time at home many things in your life will have changed from your day-to-day routine and of course your taste. And as you well know fashion doesn’t stand still either so what once complimented your style maybe now doesn’t look quite right.
This is fine and perhaps is a good time to change your designer fashion pieces to something that reflects the new you that has come through this troubling time intact.Perhaps explore some new designers or try a bold new look this will not only help you to keep up to date with the current fashion trends but also reintroduce yourself into your social circles and increase your mood.
Following on from new pieces and changing your style its maybe a good idea to try some new designer fashion brands also. New and exciting designers come to the forefront of fashion all the time and as they grow their brand becomes more and more recognizable so perhaps now is a good time to take a gamble on an up-and-coming designer instead of sticking with the same brands you usually go for.
