The onset of winter every year makes people who do not live in tropical climates go through the grind of taking out their winter clothes and packing away their summer wardrobe but for the fashion victims among us the change of seasons means something totally different and has altogether more positive connotations.
For the fashionable set the change in season means one word, shopping. As anyone with even a passing interest in the world of fashion knows, if you bought any fashionable and trendy new clothing or pretty ladies jackets last winter in the hot look of the season, most of that clothing that you spent big money on at the beginning of the last winter now probably looks painfully dated and not the least bit stylish or with the times. People who are used to the fast pace of the world of fashion know about the sheer force with which new styles, new colours and new cuts race to the heights of trendiness and the suddenness and ignominy with which they are quickly cast aside as the fashion fraternity moves onward and upward to the hottest new thing.
While this is an inherent part of the fashion world and this constant renewal and rebirth is what keeps the designers and the labels fresh and keeps the industry moving, this can mean something different to people who are actually buying the clothing and the accessories that the industry has to offer to us. There are three kinds of people when it comes to the customers of the fashion industry. The first is the people who follow all the trends closely and have ample means and the money to buy all the latest styles as soon as they are hot and cycle their old clothing and accessories without any thought. The second kind of people are those who just want functional and decent clothing.
The third set into which most people fall and probably you do too if you are reading this is the people who would like to dress well but simply can't afford to go out and buy a completely new wardrobe every few months or twice a year even. For these people it is very hard to know what styles to buy and what clothing will still look stylish in more than a few months. Here is a tip. If you are buying ladies jackets this winter go for classic colours like charcoal, black and browns and go for classic styles that you are sure will be in vogue come next year even if they are not the hottest new style that all the cool kids are wearing.
