Shopping in White (or Off White) – Tip #3

I always advise ladies (and men) to go shopping while wearing a a white (or off white) collared, darted and fitted shirt as your base.

Here’s the rational.

• When shopping it’s common to try on a garment over the top of your shirt and if you’re wearing a colored-textured-unfitted-funky top you’ll get the wrong impression. This means you’ll have to find a shirt that works with the combo which takes time or worse, you’ll try it on anyway and get the wrong picture of the item.
• If you wish to try on a skirt, pant, or any other type of bottom, a neutral top allows you to view the garment realistically and just like the above scenario, you can be quick.
• If you wear any other color you’re bound to have issues given that color and texture do spread visually.

This little tip will make your shopping faster given that you can try something on in a heartbeat and then be on your way, will help you to put together packages as white is easy to match, and will make shopping more enjoyable since you’re buying what really works.
