The winter sale season launching started at a time when the symptoms of coronavirus have intensified.

Buying this sale season will be different because winter began while we are suffering from the health and material discomfort of the Coronavirus, so we offer you the following tips for safe shopping.

*First

In the time of the Coronavirus, the online purchase has increased. While it is very useful, you need to know the brand you are buying from, the sizes, its policy of exchange and return.

It is preferable not to buy shoes online because it must be measured. After all, sizes differ from one style to another.

*Second

We have to realize that shopping is a desire, which may increase due to psychological pressure or tension, and there is nothing tenser than our current times, so you must pre-set your budget for shopping.

*Third

Do not be lured by the offers of buy two pieces and get the third for free, or at half the price, and the likes, because it leads to you buying pieces that you do not need.

*Fourth

Do not buy a piece that requires special coordination, or requires buying another piece, such as purchasing trousers in a distinctive color, you need a top that matches its color, as well as a bag and shoes.

*Fifth

Do not let the discount cause you not to examine the piece closely, it may have a makeup stain from a previous client, and this stain may not go away after washing, or it has a cut or a thread at one end of the piece.

*Six

Smart purchase is for the basic pieces that you use permanently, but this does not mean that you should buy jeans of the same color and style as the one you have in your wardrobe, as this will not add anything new to your look.

*Seven

You can buy trending fashion items to revamp your look, for this winter and the next, we recommend plaid, oversized collars, puffed and ruffle sleeves.

*Eight

Winter clothes are one of the pieces that can be invested in because its lifespan can last for many years. So buy from a good clothing brand at a good price, provided that the size is right, so do not buy new clothes and hope that you will lose weight to wear it.

Finally, take care of your health and be safe during the time of the Coronavirus, avoid crowds, and shop safely.
