This is one of the easiest ways to spot cheap clothing. The quality of the fabric is a tall tell sign if the piece of clothing is quality or not. Most bargain pieces are made of inexpensive fabrics. There are many types of fabrics out there and some have heavier weight than others. Some of the cheaper  fabrics include Rayon, Acrylic, & Nylon. Some of the more Luxury quality fabrics include Suede, cotton and linen. These fabrics may cost a bit more up front but they will look better on your body.

Black is a neutral color so it goes perfectly with everything. It is a classy color and looks great when paired with other black pieces. 


Another popular reason for wearing black is because its dark color can hide the quality of the material. You can throw on a black t-shirt and black pants from Wal-Mart and pair them with some black pumps from Ross and still have tons of money left over for accessories. This color also looks great on any skin tone. Just try on an all black outfit and go out. Watch how you will instantly feel glamorous. Oh yea and this look never goes out of style.
