Unless you want to put a lot of effort into this then just buy clothes with the best quality fabric you can find (you can tell quality fabric just by feel).
Not only will your clothes feel great, as a side effect you will be stylish without being fashionable. Quality never goes out of style.
Edit. I should add that top quality fabric is never wasted on "fast fashion" so the clothes will always be a bit more conservative and so will remain stylish for longer.
This is one area where men have a massive advantage over women. As a man you can buy well made clothes with quality fabric for less than women pay for wear-once garbage.
- orliesaurus 9y agoHow do you define best quality fabric?
- danieltillett 9y agoFeel. Really all you have to do is go around and feel the fabric from a range of stores (from cheap to outrageously expensive) and you will quickly learn to be able to tell good from bad fabric. Once you know this go back through the stores and find the high- to mid-priced clothes with high quality fabric. Edit. A lot of designers will make a limited number of items with fabric that is much better than the pricing point would suggest. My guess is they have dreams of being in Paris or Milan and so sneak in more quality than the collection calls for on a few items - the "yes most of my designs are compromised by commercial concerns, but look at this one shirt" effect.
- orliesaurus 9y agoGotcha, but I believe from personal experience that there are tons of fabric blends that are cheap yet feel fantastic, how not to get tricked?
- danieltillett 9y agoWell with experience you can tell the difference, but you can always look at the label if in doubt.
