Sometimes your go-to brands give you most, but not all of what you need in a garment. Sometimes your usual size is not the one that works. Instead, focus on the more important variables of a garment to make sure it works for you.
Some fits can be altered, some garments can be dyed another colour, and sometimes items are cheaper on sale. But things like the fabric, quality, comfort level, and practicality of a garment are fixed. Make sure they are optimal before you spend your money.
Other things are important too: Whether a garment is produced ethically and sustainably. How it gels with your style goals and works with your lifestyle. How it makes you feel when you wear it might be the most important variable of all. Go with great.
