When you buy a new cloth like skirt or trousers, you often find a matching piece of fabric with an extra button and some threads inside a small plastic bag like a Ziplock. It’s attached to the clothing tag.

Have you ever wondering, what are those for?
Well, those are given to you with a few of reasons.

• A matching Fabric

The real purpose is to make sure certain cleaning products won’t ruin the material before you wash your new skirt or pants.

You can test the detergent on the sample fabric to see how it will react with different types of detergent. We want to know if they will shrink if you use bleach, or which detergent is better, whether it’s powder, liquid, mild, wool detergent and others.

• Extra Button

It is obvious that the function of this additional button is as a replacement if any button falls.

• Threads

This extra thread is used for sewing if your clothes have holes or tears. The most common ones you find when buying new clothes.

You don’t have to go to a fabric store to look for the threads that is the same color as your clothes. And this additional is very helpful if your fabric has a certain type of material (such as merino wool, chasmere, etc) with the manufacture’s color formula.

Always read your fabrics and tags for laundry instructions or cleaning information on your clothes if you don’t want to spoil your beautiful clothing.

Read carefully, how to wash it can be done. Is it only by manual wash using hands, find out about the water temperature that can be used, for drying whether to dry not dry, not iron and so on …
Lastly, if you have luxury clothes, I think you better go to a professional laundromat.

The military look is making a comeback on the runway in a big way; from black wool berets to the military inspired parkas. It looks like everyone in fashion is making a statement of strength.

Have you heard of that anecdote that if you dress strong you’ll feel strong? Well, it’s kind of a life motto here at Fashion Frequency. Here’s our take on military fashion.

We’re more on the girly side here at Fashion Frequency so instead we’re working in some military colors instead of military shapes. Army fits can be too masculine to be flattering on a woman’s figure. So instead we found this beautiful cocktail dress in the strongest army green color and some killer leather boots to match. As you can see from the details, the dress still as soft and feminine shapes but the color really stands out as something else. A big tip for military dressing: Be sure to keep the accessories at a minimum as utilitarian dressing is always about the essentials.

Plaid has a rich historical tradition, the best example is the plaid or tartan skirt which is traditional Scottish outfit. Many designers have been inspired by this traditional look. We have seen plaid transform from schoolgirl uniforms to haute couture using this checkered design with different colors and styles and also different materials.

This A-line tartan skirt of tartan goes well with solid color like black or white. Try this shirt with playful ruffles and you can see it works with this skirt. Today you can wear a conservative shirt modified with some edgy style to blend with creating a more modern style. Pull on high knee boots and newspaper hat to make the look even more trendy. Some gold accessories will give you a touch of glamour look.
