What to wear shopping

No matter when your birthday is or if you do or don't have a summer job, you probably have some extra money floating around, and want to treat yourself to a shopping trip. But shopping isn't just about what you're buying, it can be about what you're wearing to get the most comvenience out of your trip.

• Although it may not feel like you're wearing much, sometimes it's best to throw on a plain tank or spaghetti strap top. It's just easier for trying on large sweatshirts, jackets, button-downs and the like. Put a flannel or cardigan over it so you don't look too bare. Plain colours like white and nude are your best options, although if you prefer leopard-print or neon pink zebra stripes, go to town: it's completely up to you.
• Your second shopping staple is a pair of pants or shorts that can be worn easily when trying on shoes. Leggings  and jeggings are perfect, as well as skinnies that don't go past your ankles. The ideal type does depend on what kind of shoes you're aiming for, but these are pretty much good for anything. Shorts/skirt-wise, you're pretty much good with anything as long as you can imagine them with whatever you plan on buying, so you're co-ordinated while trying on shirts.
• For the shoes that you do wear shopping, your best bet is anything you can take off easily, whether you're trying on shoes or a new pair of jeans. Sandals, slip-on sneakers, flats (although not great for walking) and Uggs are perfect. I personally have a pair of calf-length leather boots that zip up on the inside and are still snug over slim-legged pants.
• You have two options for bags: you can either carry a small purse for your wallet and phone and accumulate bags as you go, or simply use a larger crossbody, tote or backpack if you don't plan on buying much.
• I personally do not recommend wearing a dress if only for the fact that it's much easier to try on separate pieces if you are already wearing separate pieces.

Thank you for reading, and as always I hope this helps.
