339 | Why Does Everything Look Better on the Hanger?

from Her Style Podcast | Shopping, Color Palettes, Fashion, Wardrobe, Outfits, Clothing · host Heather Riggs

Is it just me or do clothes have this incredible ability to look super cute on the hanger or styled on a mannequin... and then five minutes later, you're standing in a fitting room wondering if you accidentally grabbed a completely different shirt by mistake?   What's actually happening? Why do clothes often look way better on the hanger than they do once we try them on? Is it the lighting? The styling? Our bodies? The clothes themselves?   Today, I want to peel back this little mystery layer by layer. Once you understand what changes between the store display and the fitting room — and the right question to ask when an item doesn't look the way you expected — shopping is going to become a whole lot less disappointing.   FREE 5-MIN PERSONAL STYLE QUIZ: https://herstylellc.com/quiz HER STYLE ON INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/heatherriggsstyle/ JOIN THE WAITLIST FOR HER STYLE COLLECTIVE: https://herstylellc.com/collective   Related Episodes: 196 – Body Image Boost: It's Not You...
