Can you list top quality clothing brands & how those brands are perceived?

Question

When it comes to fashion, I'm not one of those girls that needs a Vogue every season so I can become a victim. However, I also want to learn more about top quality brands, and maybe their "social class equivalent"...you know, rich, elegant, preppy, snob, sporty, etc.

Also, as a starving college student, whats the best way to get top quality brands that come off as sophisticated that wont break the bank? I heard thrift stores in rich towns? Nordstrom Rack? I am about to graduate and how I look is extremely important to make that first appearance. Good suits are like $300!!! But I cant even lift my arms in cheap brands...tips on this?

Lastly, I am 23 dating a 28 yr old man...I need to be wearing more fine-tuned stuff...like young-professional chic...classic sexy but no cleavage...someone who would come off as intelligent and in style.

Any help, tips, ideas would be greatly appreciated, thank u!

Answer 1

So what exactly is your question???
I live in Australia so I cant really tell you much about brands because most of the mid range priced clothes will be brands you've probably never heard of. But I am 21 and going through the same thing you are. I think the best way to look young and hip and professional is to dress in clothes that look tailored, they don't have to be tailored but just look that way, they are easy to find and cheap. Look for the straight leg pants (not hipsters) A line skirts, high waited skirts are in and they look really good, jeans with knee high boot, jackets that fit nicely (if you buy a cheap jacket that doesn't have any shape to it, it doesn't cost that much to take it to a seam tress and they will fix it up)

Stick to the basics and classics, iron your clothes, accessorise, do your hair and make up. Its not just about the clothes its the whole outfit.

Take you cheap suits to a seam tress and they can fix it up for you, at least they can shape it to your body and it cheaper than buying a designer suit.

Warehouse, direct factory outlets are good, (I don't know if you have these in the US) you can get some great clothes very cheap.


Well I hope this helps you
