1. Laced clothing 帶蕾絲花邊的衣服
If you want to know what real lace looks and feels like, then you should see handmade lace used to make couture gowns and wedding dresses.
如果你想知道真正的蕾絲花邊是什么樣是什么質(zhì)感,那你應(yīng)該去看一下那些用來修飾禮服和婚紗的手工蕾絲花邊。
What you see in your local store cannot measure up. It is made by means of special machines. Its surface is flimsy and flat. Cheap lace will never look good enough.
你在那些本地店里見到的蕾絲花邊是不符合標(biāo)準(zhǔn)的。它是由專門的機(jī)器生產(chǎn)的。它們表面十分平整而且又容易勾破。便宜的蕾絲永遠(yuǎn)不會看起來高大上。
If you want something resembling lace, then try fine
mesh instead. It is not as elegant as lace, but it is quite
feminine. Fine mesh bought in H&M looks great and costs little.
如果你想穿看著像蕾絲質(zhì)感的衣服,那么可以嘗試質(zhì)感好的細(xì)網(wǎng)格衣服。雖然它還是比不上蕾絲的高雅,但也足夠有女人味了。在H&M里你就能買到便宜而且質(zhì)量好的細(xì)網(wǎng)格衣服。
If fine mesh is not what you want, then buy a plain dress and use your favorite accessories to make it more attractive – after all, a $45 lace dress is not an option anyways!
如果好質(zhì)量的細(xì)網(wǎng)格衣服也不是你想要的,那么就買一件普通簡單的裙子吧,再用上一些你最愛的小配飾讓自己看起來更有魅力一些——總之,無論如何都不要買一件45美元的蕾絲裙子。
2. Embellishments and detailing 裝飾和點(diǎn)綴物
Be careful when you buy an item that has
embellishments on it. There are not too many cheap garments that are well-embroidered.
當(dāng)你在買有裝飾物的東西的時候一定要小心了。沒有那么多便宜貨是被好好修飾的。
Usually the quality of beads, studs and
sequins used for cheap clothing is too low. They are attached by machines instead of a human.
通常用在便宜的衣服上面的珠子、鉚釘、亮片的質(zhì)量都太差了。都是機(jī)器打上去的,而不是人工縫制的。
Decorated clothes that are new will always look good, but do not let this mislead you. Once you start wearing it you will see all these details fall apart.
有裝飾物的衣服在新的時候總是很好看,但不要被這個忽悠了。你一旦開始穿了你就會發(fā)現(xiàn)那些亮片珠子啥的也就慢慢掉光了。
A piece of clothing with missing jewels looks awful. What we suggest is that you should buy plain and simple garments.
一件掉過珠子亮片的衣服看起來實(shí)在是很丑。我們建議你要買普通簡單的衣服就可以了。
Adorn them with your own jewelry, embellishments and pretty accessories. Be your own stylist.
然后用你自己的珠子、裝飾物、配飾來修飾你的衣服。做你自己衣服的設(shè)計師。
3. Gathered seams 重疊雜亂的縫線
Gathered seams make clothing suitable to a greater number of people. They fit everyone and cause no fit issues.
縫線雜亂的衣服適合大多數(shù)人。這種衣服適合所有人而且不會引起任何不適的反饋。
On the contrary, flat and smooth
seams are far more difficult to make. Besides, perfectly tailored clothing fits fewer customers.
相反,要使縫線平滑規(guī)整就難太多了。而且,縫制精美的衣服適合更少數(shù)的顧客。
Due to their high quality such clothing costs a lot. Next time you go shopping for garments, try and find something with clean lines.
這樣的衣服因?yàn)楦哔|(zhì)量所以成本也很高。你下次逛街買衣服的時候,記得嘗試去找那些縫線規(guī)整的衣服。
4. Imperfect fit 不合身的
Clothes that perfectly fit will always look great. Even if you spend lots of money on expensive clothes that do not fit you well enough, they will look cheap.
衣服穿在身上如果很合身看著就很棒。即使你花了很多錢,但買了件不合身的衣服,依然會看起來是便宜貨。
Luckily, there is a way out – purchase cheap clothes that fit. Make sure that a pant leg is not too loose or long.
幸好,這里有一招可以讓你買到便宜又合身的衣服。買褲子,要確保褲腿既不太松也不太長。
Find a blouse, try it on and see if a shoulder is not too wide or narrow. If a sleeve is too wide, it will make even the prettiest jacket look cheap on you.
買襯衫,要試穿一下看看肩膀那里是否太寬或太窄。如果袖子太寬松了,那一件再好的皮夾克穿在你身上也會顯得很廉價。
If the garment does not fit you, yet you know you need it, then you can always take it to a tailor.
如果這件衣服不合身,但你又確實(shí)很想要,那你可以把它拿到裁縫那里去改。
Altering hems are not expensive at all. Complex alterations are expensive. So, if you know that the clothes will need more serious tailoring, then leave them and find something else.
改衣服并不貴,但如果你要對它大改動就比較貴了。所以如果你知道這件衣服去裁縫那里需要大改動,那就別買了,去找別的衣服吧。
5. Tiny multicolor florals and complicated or small prints各種花里胡哨的小圖案和繁雜的小字
Tiny?
florals?and small prints is not the best option. It is very likely that this kind of print will look cheap. When you are shopping for clothes, pay attention to graphic prints.衣服上有小花案和小字并不是最好的購衣選擇。因?yàn)楹苡锌赡苓@樣的印花就會讓衣服看起來很便宜。當(dāng)你在買衣服的時候,記得要注意一下它上面的圖案和印字。
Simple stripes, contrasting colors, polka dots and even
plaids is what you need. There are cheap stores where you can find tons of clothing that meet these criteria.
你需要選擇的是簡單的條文、對比色、波爾卡圓點(diǎn)、格子圖案。在一些廉價衣服店里你是可以找到成堆符合上述標(biāo)準(zhǔn)的衣服的。
Remember that if you cannot instantly recognize the print from 10 feet away, then leave the garment and find something more appropriate.記得要是你在10步以外就不能立馬認(rèn)出衣服上的圖案了,那就別買這衣服了,去找找別的更合適的。
