Best Fashion Store for Quality Clothing

What is quality clothing?

That is the question that trigger us once we want to buy or shop for clothes that we really desire. Like me i have difficulties in finding clothes or dr
ess that we will fit n my body. Maybe, because of my size..? i'm too petite! or maybe i'm just so picky. Here's the thing: sometimes I change my mind about what I buy. You know, take it home, look at it in a different mirror, have a change of heart, buy something else. Well, you get the picture. So I am frequently -- frequently -- stuck with merchandise that needs to be returned to the store.

Quality Designer Clothing: Some women scoff at the idea of ‘designer’ clothing. They tend to believe that clothing from any department store offers the same quality.

A statement couldn’t be more false!

Designer clothing is created to fit your body in the best way possible. The material that is used is much higher quality, and the style of the clothing is meant to flatter your body, not the mannequins.

Bargain brand clothing is created in factories that manufacture hundreds of the same thing at a time. Designer clothing is made with much more care. You can see the difference in the quality of stitching and material very quickly. If you’re shopping for the right designer clothing, Artful wears has it to suit your needs and style.

Many women find shopping for clothing difficult. They might enjoy trying things on, but find that nothing tends to suit them. These women often head to the discount stores rather than the fashion boutiques that carry amazing styles. If you’re one of those women, try leaving the department store and logging on to Artfulwears. Every year a number of different styles hit the fashion market, guaranteeing that there is something to suit every woman at Artfulwears. We’re the ultimate online boutique for you.

Here are some best stores for fas
hion on a budget and has quality clothing:


Zara - is a mamm oth of a fashion house, originally from Spain, nowadays found almost everywhere. The y are known to be fast to produce garments; it takes about two weeks from designing the clot hes to get them to the stores, and they do rotate their stock every month. So if you find something worth buying, buy it now. Otherwise you may never find it again.


Zara’s flagship store in Tallinn is located on the ground floor in Viru Keskus. The location could not be more central. The store serves both ladies and gentlemen, and also children. The clothes are of good quali ty, stylish, and the price is decent. If you like shopping in H&M or Mango, you’ll like this store, too.




H&M - launched a n ew fashion concept, Collection of Style (COS) in London, in March 2007. This concept p rovides high fashion attributes such as fabric finish and fit along at competitive price, for both men and women. The company rolled out stores under the newbrand in Germany, Belgium, and the Netherlands in 2007.

True Religion - His vision was to make quality, American-made, authentic, timeless, great fitting, 1970’s inspired jeans wear, with a trendsetting appeal for today’s consumer.

Today, True Religion Brand Jeans is known not only for its denim, but also for its knit and woven sportswear, such as t-shirts, western shirts, sweatshirts and sweatpants that all have that vintage feel.

Topshop
- wants its customers to look and feel tip-top. The retailer of men's and women's trendy, midrange-priced apparel, Topshop operates 300-plus Topshop stores for women, including the four-story, 90,000-square-foot flagship store at Oxford Circus in London, and about 165 Topman outlets.

Known for its ability to keep pace with current trends, the company employs a series of "style advisors" to upsell its products inside the stores, as well as to add an additional status appeal to its customers. Topshop is owned by apparel retail group Arcadia.


Forever 21 - Inventor of the designer knockoff, and the ultimate source for “fast fashion”, Forever 21 is one of the most popular discount clothing stores in America!

I shop at Forever 21
with two purposes – to find trendy pieces that I might only wear a few times, and to buy killer designer knockoffs. (Yes, I know designer knockoffs are unethical, but so are the prices of many designer dresses!)

Just like it’s cousin Wet Seal, Forever 21 does sometimes have some trashy, cheaply made clothing in stock. When you shop there, remember to keep yourself in check, look for quality fabrics, and don’t buy anything you wouldn’t think of getting at twice the price.


Charlotte Russe - Favori
te discount store for girly dresses and trendy pieces, as well as the occasional accessory. Yes, I love me some Charlotte Russe .

In comparison to the other discount stores like Forever 21 and Wet S
eal, Charlotte Russe isn’t a whole lot different. Still, I have a certain affection for the store that I just can’t explain.

Maybe it’s all in my head, but I think Charlotte Russe is just classier than those other stores. With nicer pieces than Wet Seal, yet fewer designer knockoffs than Forever 21, it’s a nice middle ground in the budget fashion world.


Wet Seal - It’s
a staple of every mall in America, and a great place to shop for trendy tops to wear to parties, blingy jewelry, and cute accessories. It’s like the less-chic, trashy club frequenting cousin of Forever 21 and Charlotte Russe .

To combat the tackiness and find the great pieces when you shop at Wet Seal, you need to develop a good “taste level” (as they say on Project Runway), the fashion know how to separate chic & adorable from tacky & awful. The pieces are all mixed together in this store, so it’s important that you know the difference between what’s trashy and what’s not.


Urban Behavior - If you’ve never heard of it, Urban Behavior is basically another Wet Seal, except less hoochie-mama, and with more casual basics.

When you visit an Urban Behavior store, you’ll find simple tees in a rainbow of colors, preppy jackets, and trendy denim, all at prices well below what you’d pay at Abercrombie, J. Crew, or the GAP. What’s not to love?



TJ Maxx / Marshall’s - To start off, let me say that I know they aren’t the same store, but they’re owned by the same people and are very similar.

Okay, if you’ve ever stumbled into a T.J. Maxx and picked up a pair of Seven For All Mankind jeans for half price, then you know why the store made this list!

In case you don’t know, T.J. Maxx and Marshall’s are chain stores that sell name-brand clothes, shoes, and even furnishings at low, low prices. It’s kind of like a treasure hunt whenever you go to one – you never know what you might find! Check either store out if you’re looking for some real designer names at slashed prices!


DSW - All the shoes you could ever want, most of them at great prices. What’s not amazing about DSW?

If you have a shoe problem like I do, I’m sure you understand my love for this store. Hundreds and hundreds of incredible shoes all in one massive space!! So. Much. Fun.

Since DSW stands for Discount Shoe Warehouse, I have to comment on the prices: some are great, others are not so cheap. But as opposed to stores like Payless (which rock, don’t get me wrong), DSW has a wider selection and more cute options. That’s why it’s on the list!


Vintage / Thrift Stores - Thrift store shopping for vintage clothes. What budget fashion shopping list would be complete without a nod to vintage stores? They are the best place to find one of a kind pieces, fashion treasures, and unexpected style.. all at extremely low prices.

Some vintage stores simply sell nice designer clothes that are old – and the prices reflect that. While those are fabulous places to shop, you’re not going to get much on a college budget. You want the real thrift stores.

When you shop at the real thrift stores, you need to be careful with your money. Know how to separate the amazing finds from the “I’m just buying this because it’s cheap” stuff. Don’t end up with a bunch of 80’s tee shirts that you never wear, just because they were too cheap to pass up!


Target - If you haven’t shopped at Target, you haven’t lived! ..While they are technically one of the huge discount megastores, Target is miles apart from Wal Mart or KMart when it comes to fashion!

The clothes at Target are way more stylish than you’d think – they often do collaborations with designers like Rogan, Erin Fetherston, and Isaac Mizrahi. Also, their new GO International line is fabulous, with $20 dresses that look like they cost $100.

Even if you don’t have a Target in your area, don’t worry – everything is available online, and ready to ship to your door. Just another reason to love them!
