How to Choose Good Clothes
When you set out to choose good clothes to add to your wardrobe, pay close attention to the materials from which the clothes are made. Natural fibers are always going to look and feel the best. And there really is no good reason to have anything made out of polyester in your wardrobe. Does this Spark an idea?

Try on many different cuts and styles of shirts, pants and skirts to evaluating what looks best on you. To choose good clothes for your wardrobe, you must know what flatters your figure and what doesn't.

Buy cashmere or wool sweaters. Sweaters made of high-quality natural materials such as cashmere and Merino wool are less likely to pill, fade or shrink over time. Find moderately priced, quality cashmere and wool sweaters at Bluefly.com (See Additional Resources).

Choose 100 percent wool for dress pants. Cotton tends to wrinkle easily, while wool does not. Many well-made wool pants are as light as cotton pants, so don't think that just because they are wool that they are heavy and itchy. You can find beautifully cut wool dress pants at Chadwicks (See Additional Resources).

Check the stitching. Clothing that doesn't skimp on stitching is more durable. Less space between stitches are a sign of quality construction and helps to ensure that the clothing will hold together over time.

Tips & Warnings
Just because an item of clothing is made from quality material and is well-constructed does not mean it is going to look good on everybody. Try on all clothes you are considering buying so you don't end up spending your money on something that doesn't fit well or flatter your body type.
Avoid man-made fabrics. Clothing made from synthetic fibers such as polyester and rayon are cheap because they look cheap. Good clothes are not made from synthetic fibers.
