If you are a hockey coach your wardrobe is going to be a lot different than a corporate lawyer's. However when we choose a basic article of clothing it is something we plan on wearing many times (getting our money’s worth). These items are like good investments since they will reward us many times in the future. When buying your basics purchase quality pieces, not necessarily the most expensive. -
