HOW IMPORTANT IS FASHION FOR US?
Whether it’s an interview, birthday party or a wedding, you have to have the perfect dress for every occasion. You have to look fashionable and trendy at all times, even if you are sleeping you got to wear those cute shorts and the plain black tank top. Isn’t that the trend nowadays, to find the right and fashionable clothing for every moment? Yes, that’s how much crazy we are about fashion.
Talking about fashion here reminds me of the latest one, ripped jeans! You buy a fully covered pair of jeans for 500 bucks but if they are torn from somewhere the price rises up-to 1500 bucks! Looking at all this, it is really surprising how much our world has changed, from torn leaves to torn denim.
This clearly shows how important fashion is for us and how much it affects our lives. Some of us are fashion bloggers; we pay our bills by explaining to people about clothing. It’s not just about clothing anymore. It’s everything about you, from the tip of your head to the tip of your toe, everything you wear is fashion. We see a celebrity wearing a great dress and then our evening is spent fawning over it or trying to find out a way to get the same dress for you.
We care so much about how we look due to which we spend so much time contemplating about a single outfit. This just proves how ridiculously important fashion is for us.
PHONE AND FASHION
The crisis has struck and we need to find an outfit that is not available in the market. What do you do? The answer is quite simple. You pick up your phone and just check for it online. Online apps and websites have made it so easy to feed that fashion craving in us. Anything you need, from those black lace skinny jeans to the half white and half black halter top, you will get everything and that too cheaper than the external market.
So many online websites have come up which sell exclusive products. Some sell shoes, some sell clothes and some just have it all. We use these sites so often that we just download their apps and whenever we have to buy something, it is done within seconds. Apps like Myntra, Craftsvilla, Amazon, Koovs, Abof and Limeroad etc. have found their way into the storage of our phones and are used more than even facebook or whatsapp.
These apps have made it even more difficult for their users to delete them because they give such amazing offers which are exclusive for the app users, like jabong offers Rs.800/- discount for new app users. Who wouldn’t want Rs.800/- off on their first purchase? No one can even start to resist these offers. Such things have tempted customers to use these apps and not just use but shop too.
TOP 3 FASHION APPS
Out of all the fashion stores available, some stand out because of various reasons. Some have a good customer service and some have better products. These three are the most used of all.
MYNTRA
If you can’t find something on any online site, you will find it on Myntra for sure! Myntra app is the best rated fashion app on Google play store. It has a rating of 4.2 out of 5 and the 10 million downloads which shouldn’t be ignored. The app doesn’t just have good products but it brings you the best deals too.
Some online fashion stores show something else in their pictures and the product that you get at the time of delivery is something you never ordered. This is not the case with Myntra. Whether it’s a small brand or a huge brand like Allen Solly, the product that you get would be of top notch quality. This is the reason Myntra tops the list. The motto of the app is ‘Everything you need to look good’ and that is the assurance we need as customers.
The app has the following categories from which you can shop and with the blockbuster sale going on there are huge discounts on every category. You just need to download the app, sign up or login and shop for anything you want. Anyone who downloads the app gets 500 Myntra points free for shopping. Just get your referral code and shop!
