5 Factors to Consider in Buying and Wearing Clothes

Written By: Gerard Sabinosa

Do you want clothes in pastel or dark colors? Do you prefer them plain, printed or with lines? Do you give much weight to the kind of cloth used? Do you dress according to the weather?

Your answer to these questions will reveal that aside from comfortability and price, five equally significant factors are considered in buying and wearing clothes. These are color, lines, texture, workmanship, and season.

  • COLOR
 Color makes life beautiful and meaningful. Everybody is fascinated by different hues that reflect distinct feelings or emotions. Without color, what do you think life would be?

  • LINES
 Lines tell about the dimensions of length and width. They can create shapes and forms when they combine and enclose spaces.

  • TEXTURE
 When buying clothes, we also consider the quality of fabric used. Whether it is pleasing to the eyes and soft or comfortable to the touch is a deciding factor in choosing clothes to wear. This is what texture is all about. Texture creates an impression that is understood by our senses of sight and touch.

  • WORKMANSHIP 
People select clothes based on the amount and quality of work put into its production. This is workmanship or the care with which the fabric and other accessories had been handled to produce well-made clothes. Some clothes even have better quality details such as small machine stitches, deep pleats, adequate and even seam allowances, and properly placed darts.

  • SEASON
During summer, we usually wear light-colored clothes that make us feel comfortable. Some clothes, when worn by others, look beautiful on them, but when you try them on, they seem not to look right on you. This is because different persons have different body structures and sizes. Clothes that is loose or tight on you may just be fit on others, and vice versa. Choose clothes that match your body size and type.
