FOUR FASHION PIECES WORTH SPLURGING ON

Fast fashion purchases might be fine for non-essential items, but when it comes to looking your best, it’s much better to invest in quality items. 

While this approach might be less immediately beneficial to your bank account, it often pays off on a long-term basis.

You’ll only need to replace cheaper items after a few months, if that, and they’re unlikely to look or feel too good either. Quality items will have a higher initial price — though not always as high as you might think — but they’ll last years, becoming a long-term part of your wardrobe. Plus, they just look better.

Of course, not every item in your wardrobe needs to be top quality. You can probably get away with lower-value loungewear.

There are some items, however, that are worth spending a little extra to make yours. In this post, we’ll run through a handful of fashion pieces that it’s worthwhile making some space in the budget for. 

A Great Winter Coat

A great winter coat doesn’t only help to keep the chill at bay; it also allows you to make a pretty fantastic fashion statement.

The type of winter coat you’ll need will depend on where you live, but most people find that a mid-weight wool coat or classic trench coat can give them a head-turning look. If you pick correctly, then you should find that you’re wearing the same winter coat many years into the future. 

Quality Jewellery

Quality jewellery instantly delivers a healthy dose of sophistication, helping to take your outfit to the next level.

And not only will fine jewellery make your style sparkle, but it’ll also become a long-term keepsake. It’s not an exaggeration to say that your grandchild may well be one day wearing the jewellery that formed part of your personal style for so many years.

From earrings and necklaces to bracelets and rings, there’s no shortage of quality jewellery options out there — find one that you connect with, and make it yours.

A Stunning Bag

Yes, there’s a practical side to handbags, but that doesn’t mean that you should skimp on quality. In fact, of all the items on this list, you can probably argue that it’s your handbag that’s worth spending the most money on.

After all, you’ll use it virtually every day. A Louis Vuitton, Chanel, or Prada bag won’t come cheap, but we’re pretty confident it’ll become one of your favourite items. 

Comfortable Basics

Finally, let’s move away a little from the standout fashion pieces. Those items are great for feeling confident and making a splash, but what about when you’re just looking to relax and be comfortable?

All too often, people spend huge sums on showstopping pieces and virtually nothing on the everyday basics. It might not be quite as glamorous to spend above-average on underwear and basic t-shirts as it is on a fine necklace, but trust us, it’ll be worth every penny.

You can usually get significantly better quality items just by spending slightly more than usual.
