With the beginning of the month of January, in addition to the end of Christmas approaching after the arrival of the Three Wise Men, an unavoidable event every year when the holidays are over is the beginning of the sales. A few weeks of discounts and opportunities that are perfect for renewing your wardrobe and finding that ideal piece at a much cheaper price.
However, before going to the stores, it is good to take into account a series of recommendations and tips to really buy what you need, make an investment in good clothes and not buy just to buy for the mere fact of following a fever. consumerist.
a previous list
The first piece of advice before going to the sales is to make a previous list of the clothes that you really need to buy or take time to incorporate into your wardrobe. In addition, at the same time that these clothes are being ordered on a piece of paper, it will be much easier to adjust a ceiling budget so as not to use the credit card without any control and get the odd surprise at the end of the month with the bank statement.
When making that wish list, it is best to invest in a good wardrobe, even if it means more spending, with clothes that are basic and timeless. In addition, it is important to pay attention to the quality of them so that they last season after season and do not spoil after a couple of washes. In this sense, it is better to be guided by the maxim: buy less, but buy better quality. For this reason, you have to avoid too suspicious bargains or discounted items at a ridiculously low price.
must-have items
Without taking into account the trends of each season or the necessary clothing in each case, if you want to make a good purchase taking advantage of these discounts, a good idea is to get these basics that cannot be missing in the dressing room according to fashion experts. This is the case of a classic-cut trench coat in a nude tone for rainy days or when it's not so cold; good sneakers with a casual style to combine with everyday clothes and a suit jacket in dark tones that will be perfect for going to work at the office.
In that renovated wardrobe there must also be room for a dress for everything; both to wear informally on a daily basis and for a somewhat more dressed-up date with the perfect accessories, including high-heeled shoes. When it comes to investing a little more money in a special garment, you can always choose a straight-cut or masculine coat that does not go out of style or a cashmere sweater. Finally, it is the ideal time to take home a practical bag, with classic and simple lines and that combines with any look that one wears.
some whim
Although when it comes to taking advantage of the sales you have to buy with your head, this does not mean that if you can afford it, you can do it with some other whim. For this reason, if you just happen to find that textile item that you have been dreaming of for months and it is at a good price, it may be a good opportunity to take it home.
Of course, first of all you have to think if you are really going to take advantage of that garment later and it will not be relegated to the end of the closet as a museum piece. In this case, it is essential to try it on before paying and leaving the store to justify this extra expense that will be made for this whim.
consumer rights
As they remember from the Organization of Consumers and Users, during these weeks of special prices what is reduced is the cost of the items, not the rights of consumers. For this reason, you have to be very careful to avoid deception that is sometimes associated with this period of sales. And a good way to avoid it is to observe that the discounted products were already on the rack before this day and are not balances or leftovers from past seasons that you want to sell.
In the same way, the label must indicate the original previous price and the new one with the discount already made; or that the percentage of discount made is clearly read. It is also important to pay attention to the special conditions for purchases made during these weeks in everything related to returns or card payments. For this reason, it is essential to keep the purchase receipt before any change or claim that the client wants to make after a few days.
