Investment Worthy Wardrobe Staples: How Expensive Items Can Save You Money
With so many amazing bargain fashion stores now filling the high street, we have seen a massive shift in shopping habits, with people choosing bargain buys over splurging on expensive wardrobe staples. But there are some items that really deserve you spending those extra pounds. Generally, investing in good quality pieces will save you money – lasting you years rather than months and stopping you from having to replace your wardrobe essentials throughout the year. Here are those staple pieces that we really believe deserve the splurge – and will benefit your bank account in the long run.
Your Everyday Bag and Purse
It’s fair to say that bags and purses are an absolute essential for every woman. We use them daily to carry all our daily necessities, from our phones to our lippy, and they go everywhere with us. They get plonked on the floor, chucked into the car, shoved in the locker at the gym… so they need to be hard wearing and endure the battering and bruising! To ensure that your bag withstands the test of time, opt for a more expensive investment piece in a good quality material. The straps are less likely to wear and snap after a short period of time meaning you will be able to show it off for years!
Winter-Worthy Coat
It’s official, autumn has officially set in and winter is just around the corner. Here come’s the inevitable frenzy of finding the perfect winter coat. They must be hard working at this time of year: warm, waterproof, versatile, comfortable, and able to withstand all the winter weather the UK has to throw at us (we’re having flashbacks to the Beast from the East last year…). All this, whilst looking effortlessly chic. We expect a lot from our coat, so its always a staple piece worth investing in to ensure it lasts you through to sunny spring! Brands such as North Face offer quality coats with added insulation to keep you cosy.
Hard-wearing Boots
Like our coats, we wear our boots day in day out through autumn and winter, and we need them to last. Cheap boots will inevitably rip and tear much quicker than quality leather boots, and will look tatty and worn after just a few months. You will spend money buying another cheap replacement pair, they will give in after a few months, you will buy another pair, and so the cycle continues. Investing in a hard-wearing leather pair will last much longer, saving you cash further down the line.
Statement Wrist Watch
A staple item in most women’s wardrobe, a statement watch really is something to splash the cash on. Not only do they show off your personal style and complete pretty much any outfit, they also make a great investment. Good quality watches from reputable companies will hold their value much longer and are usually much more hard-wearing than their cheaper alternatives. This means they are much less likely to break, lasting you years rather than months.
So, whilst we all love a fashion bargain, there are some items that are worth splashing the cash on. Not only will you have beautiful staples for your winter wardrobe, they will last you much longer too, saving you money in the long run!
