The first thing here is that the clothes you buy (and thereafter start to wear) will be continuously sending messages about you to the people who will be meeting you when clad in them. This means that you need to think very carefully about the specific items you select when shopping for clothes. Ideally, you should work out how you would like to be seen – and then go for clothes that convey that message, keeping in mind that the clothes you wear might end up being taken more seriously in making judgments about you than anything else that you do. So how would you like to be seen? Would you like to be seen as a serious person or an easy going person? Would you like to be seen as a quality conscious person or a ‘cheap’ person? Would you like to be seen as ‘rich’ or ‘poor’? Answer these types of questions in your mind, and ensure that the items you pick when shopping for clothes collaborate your answer.

The second thing you need to keep in mind as you go shopping for clothes – and which is closely related to the first – is that unless you make up your mind on what you what in terms of clothing, you are not likely to get it. So ideally, you should avoid shopping for clothes on impulse – and prepare for every clothing-shopping trip with a session of planning on what you want, up to the very last detail, like its size, color and make, and then go get it.

The third thing you need to keep in mind as you go shopping for clothes is that, contrary to what many people have been led to believe, the most expensive clothing items are not always the very best. Ideally, your guide on what makes ‘superior’ clothing items should be their quality, rather than price – as you can end up paying hefty price for a very poor quality clothing item, just because of its ‘big’ brand.

And the fourth thing you need to keep in mind as you go shopping for clothes, which is closely related to the third is the fact that clothing items that are sold for ‘too low a price’ are typically sold for such a price for a reason. You might think that you are getting a bargain by going for such ultra-low-priced clothing items, but the feature that is making them be priced so lowly could be obvious to others out there (while hidden from you), thereby making you look ‘cheap.’ The moral in these last two points is that you should try to find a balance with regard to the pricing of the clothing items you ultimately opt for, keeping in mind that the most expensive items are not always the best, and that the cheapest items tend to be ‘obviously cheap’ in one aspect or another, therefore portraying you badly as the wearer.
