1. Plan ahead
1.購(gòu)物前規(guī)劃
There's always the risk of buying something you don't really love just because it's a bargain. It's much better to buy something you love and spend that bit more. It's a good idea to plan ahead - decide what your budget is beforehand to avoid post-sales-shopping guilt, and also think about which pieces you might want. Are they something you can wear now and next season? Key trends stick around, so a sale is a good way to snap them up. Right now, look out for coloured leather, think sharp jackets with cigarette pants.
許多時(shí)候你買到的東西并不是你喜歡的,而是因?yàn)樗阋四悴湃ベI。與其這樣不如多花點(diǎn)錢買自己喜歡的東西。提前規(guī)劃是明智的做法,做好預(yù)算和想好要買的東西,以免買了又后悔。你這個(gè)和下個(gè)季度的衣服都有了嗎?緊跟時(shí)尚潮流,參加促銷活動(dòng)是很好的選擇。這個(gè)季節(jié)可以買彩色的皮革,因?yàn)槠A克和直筒褲是很搭的。
2. Be open to ideas
2.廣泛搜羅
Have a general idea of what you'd like, for example, a jacket or a coat, but be open-minded about the brand or style. The great thing about sales shopping is you might discover brands that you previously didn't know about.
清楚自己要買什么,比如夾克或者外套,但對(duì)牌子和款式不要斤斤計(jì)較。參加促銷活動(dòng)的一大好處就是你能找到一些你以前沒(méi)有聽(tīng)過(guò)的牌子。
3. Get in there quickly
3.下手要快
Bags, jewellery and small leather goods are the first things to go in a sale as they are sizeless, and due to the nature of sales shopping, sizes are always limited. If you see a bag or shoes you love and they are on sale, go for it.
一進(jìn)商場(chǎng)先去買包、珠寶和小的皮革制品,因?yàn)檫@些商品的每個(gè)尺碼都是有限的。所以如果你看到了喜歡的包或鞋子,那就買吧。
4. Buy classic and statement
4.買品牌經(jīng)典
If you're looking at designer labels, definitely go for items that are the signature pieces for that brand. So, anything leather from Helmut Lang, red from Valentino. But, as well as the classics, sales are also a good opportunity to buy something like a really amazing evening gown that you couldn't quite justify at full price.
如果你想買品牌衣服,那么一定要買這個(gè)牌子有代表性的東西,比如買皮革就要買海爾姆特朗的,紅色的東西就要買華倫天奴的。促銷活動(dòng)上能夠買到經(jīng)典的衣服,同樣也可以買到那些原價(jià)很貴的打折晚禮服。
5. If the dress fits…
5.衣服尺碼不對(duì)怎么辦
If you're shopping online, shop by size. A lot of websites have size filters so you aren't tempted to buy something that's way too big or too small simply because it's a good deal. Having said that, if you completely fall in love with a piece of clothing that's the wrong size, you could always look into getting it tailored.
如果你在網(wǎng)上買衣服,一定要按自己穿衣的尺碼買。很多網(wǎng)站都會(huì)給出尺碼對(duì)比表,所以你不會(huì)因?yàn)閮r(jià)格便宜而買那些號(hào)太大或太小的衣服。但如果在促銷活動(dòng)上你實(shí)在很喜歡那件尺碼不適合你的衣服,買吧,然后讓裁縫修改。
6. Time for an upgrade
6.提升衣柜檔次
Buying from the sales is an opportunity to upgrade your wardrobe, if you think it's time you invested in better fabrics. For instance, beautiful cashmere is timeless and great to buy when you can.
如果你想買好衣服,促銷活動(dòng)是你提升自己衣柜檔次的時(shí)候。在促銷活動(dòng)上可以買那些永遠(yuǎn)不會(huì)過(guò)時(shí)的東西,比如羊絨衫。
