Designing Clothes: culture and organization of the fashion industry #5

Hello Bloggers,

My name is Reddick Harris, and this is my fifth and final blog. In my last blog, I will be talking about “true style”. By “true style”, I mean not having to spend a lot of money to look nice.

The #1 way you can save money on clothes is obvious, it can either be through “hand me downs”, thrifting, or simply shopping at affordable stores. You will be amazed at how good you can look, and how little money you will have to spend. Fashion has usually been a way of showing wealth. “The emergence of a town bourgeoisie in Burgundy, at the crossroads of trade route with the east, created status competition with the nobility. One “almost literally “wore one’s wealth on one’s back” (Veronica Manlow 8.). Let us break out of that. Stay within your budget and learn to make it work for you.

Here is some examples:

The first outfit is an example for men. A simple button up shirt, and white jeans. Inexpensive, but also very nice. This is a way you can look nice on a budget.  

The second outfit is an example for women. A simple T-shirt with blue shorts and accessories. This outfit is nice but also inexpensive. Both of these outfits prove that you do not need to spend a bunch of money to look nice.  
What have you learned about " True Style"?
