Tips for a Better Shopping Experience
By Oscar B. Hult, Haberdasher
THE NEW YEAR IS A GREAT TIME TO UPGRADE YOUR WARDROBE.
Many guys feel intimidated by the idea of shopping for clothing and accessories. Here are 5 ways to have more fun shopping for the items you need to look your best.
Chill out. Find a shop where you feel comfortable. If you are uncomfortable it will be hard to find anything that feels right. The atmosphere of the shop itself (the music & decor) will have an effect on your shopping mood. Find one you can relate to.
Find a guide. I personally find that I have a much better experience when I find a salesperson who is knowledgeable about the items that I am interested in shopping for. They can usually be depended upon for advice on how the item should fit, what colors look best together and more importantly how they look on you.
Follow the Money. Make sure the salespeople are not working on commission. They will be much more likely to give you an honest opinion about how the items look on you. Hard pressure sales tactics are not conducive to an enjoyable experience.
Fit is King. If you are shopping off the rack, be ready to get items altered. The fit of your clothes is more important than any other single factor. get to know your alterations tailor.
Be Particular. Don't buy it unless it is right (unless of course it can be altered to fit). If you buy something that is a little too tight or a color that is not your shade, you are probably going to reach for something else to wear.
Follow these simple tips and you will have more fun in 2022 and you will look great doing it!
