Nose pads that are too hard leave marks and feel uncomfortable on the skin. A simple pair of glasses or a basic jacket that always works is worth a lot. Bad lenses can cause eye strain, reflections and headache when you wear them for hours.
Now I try to read as many real user reviews as possible before I buy anything. Even a short note like 鈥渢his size runs smaller than expected鈥?can help someone. Over the last months I noticed that some of my favorite items are not the most expensive ones. I like when they mention whether the fabric has stretch or not, that detail matters a lot. If a website gives a detailed guide for measurements, I feel more confident when ordering. For coats and blazers I usually go one size up if I want to layer sweaters under them. I have learned to avoid items that look extremely different in every product photo.
