The other day someone asked me if it was a good idea to buy lace tights/leggings, at this point, it isn't a good buy. The season is almost over (long gone in the fashion industry) and lace tights/leggings were a must have this fall, but in the spring they wont be. At this point it is important to buy eternal style items like LBDs (little black dresses), classic holiday scarves, etc. Things that never go out of style, and are on sale now. The best time to go shopping for the hottest items of the season is right after trends have developed. You get a few key pieces that will make fashion practically effortless and add on pieces as the season goes on. In the middle of the season it is sometimes good to buy some more key items, but not too many. Never buy those key pieces at the end of the season, they wont last you long.
I'm sure you have heard the saying "shop in your own closet first", maybe you haven't heard it before-but that isn't the point. As I have said many time before, just as history repeats itself, fashion repeats itself. Of course, not the exact same thing happens, just as it doesn't in history, but modern fashion is based of of past fashions. Each season, look in your own closet first, maybe you have some items that you wouldn't have been caught dead in two years ago, but now are at the height of fashion. You can modify your old clothes yourself if you feel they are too old or way to 80s (for example).
Bottom line, don't buy current fashion items at the end of the season.
Fashionably,
The Fashioneur
