5 Pieces Of Clothing That Are Worth Splurging On This Year
As we continue to meander through 2022, there is always time to splurge on items, including apparel to improve our daily routines, push us to meet our goals, and provide us with a bit of motivation to shift towards a more confident lifestyle.
Overall, there are 5 select items in 2022 that you may want to invest in. However, one of the leading fashion focal points for this year is climate change and the fast fashion impact continuously imprinted in today’s society.
While trends are everything these days, they tend to hurt our environment. Sure, social media and whatnot have pushed us to pursue the mindset of needing the latest and greatest apparel pieces on the market.
It sounds great and all, but we are only hurting ourselves and future generations to come as we discard our “out of style” garments and ship them off to various landfills throughout the nation.
As we push for a better future in 2022, there are a few items worth splurging on as they are sure to stick around and stay classic, strong, and durable all at once.
Our first item on the list is denim. While denim is a strong and durable textile, I often find myself discarding jeans worn out by massive holes, rips, and tears and those that include pilling and appear to be overly faded.
So this year, let’s aim to avoid purchasing cheaply made denim and spend the money on designer jeans that are sure to leave us comfy and cute for time to come!
While you may think to yourself, what is the difference between a pair of jeans for $12 and a designer set that’s triple the price?
Well, the answer is quite simple. Designers use high-quality cotton, while brands that offer a bargain will most likely use a synthetic mix. So, aside from the craftsmanship and construction, you are looking at a textile that is worth splurging on this year.

Aside from denim, the best alternative is leggings. There is no doubt that working for multiple hours a day in uncomfortable attire can be soul-crushing.
With the work from home trend becoming more mainstream, leggings are on the rise as an alternative for dressing up in your everyday business casual apparel.
As we shift into a scene more comfortable for the workplace, you would be surprised as to what the fashion industry has to offer you.
Transition from day to night as you wear leggings that create a versatile aesthetic while featuring velvet textiles.
Enjoy the workday with a fitted flare legging that can be dressed up or down. There is no need to wait until casual Friday as the market has been ever-changing as the world shifts towards classic and comfort.
Instead, consider shopping at places such as Athleta, which carries work-appropriate pants that feature pockets, zippers, and a tapered hem that ends at the ankle for a more professional appearance.
Next on the list is a long coat or blazer. This style is perfect for any season. Whether you are wearing a micro mini skirt, tank, and combat boots, you may consider throwing in a long structured blazer to keep you warm on a chilly summer night.
The best part about a blazer is the idea behind dressing it up or down. So the next time you are in the market for a new staple wardrobe accessory, consider adding in a long blazer that features your favorite patterns and colors.
This may come as a surprise, so be prepared. Turtle necks are back in action this year! We are traveling back to the 2000s as we shift from layering accessories to layering our garments.
So grab a few different turtlenecks in all sorts of colors and get ready to layer them underneath oversized t-shirts and spaghetti strap tops and dresses.
Before you know it, summer is here, and the most important fashion item on your list is a new bathing suit.
Last year we saw suits on the market that left nothing to the imagination. This year we are feeling more confident than ever as we strut our stuff on the beach wearing a one-piece.
Designers all over have ventured back to the drawing board and are now offering more options that may have you questioning whether you want to purchase a one-piece this year or not.
But don’t hold back. With unique straps, ruching, and plunging necklines, you may just find one of these in your shopping cart.
