There are two types of fashion people—those who love to shop and those who, more than anything, just love fashion. This group is more likely to nerd out over the details of a piece—hems, sleeve styles, embellishment, etc.—than merely the label that created it. Fashion, in their eyes, is a full-fledged art.
I love to shop and love fashion, to be honest, but fitting in with the second crew has required some extra studying over time. If you've never designed clothes or gone to fashion school, it's easy to miss out on some crucial fashion terminology. However, I've picked up on the most oft-used terms and are happily filling you in, below!
