Clothes are important and necessary (必需的) for us, but do you know how to buy clothes in a right way? Here are some ideas for you.
When you go shopping and want to buy some clothes, you should think about which kind of clothes you really need. Then look at the
labels that are inside the new clothes. They tell you how to take care of the clothes. The label may tell you to wash it in warm water. A sweater label may tell you to wash it in cold water. The label on a coat may say “dry clean only” and cleaning in water may ruin (损坏) this coat. If you do as the instructions (用法说明) on the label, you can keep your clothes looking their best.
Many clothes today must be dry-cleaned. Dry-cleaning is expensive. When buying new clothes, you should find out if they need to be dry-cleaned. You can save money if you buy clothes that can be washed in the water or that are well-made. Well-made clothes look good even after you wash them many times.
Expensive clothes don't always mean they are good. They may not fit you either. Less expensive clothes may sometimes look better and fit you well.
