Many of us have at least once asked the question: I don’t know much about fashion, how can you tell if something is “yours”? This is a problem faced not only by newcomers to the world of style, but also by those who simply want to consciously update their wardrobe. Choosing clothes is not just about following trends, but finding something that reflects your personality, brings joy and comfort. This question becomes especially relevant when you are in a place like a Megahand second-hand store in Rustavi, Georgia, where the assortment is huge and unique.
How to sort through this diversity and find the very thing that will become your favorite? Our material will help you develop your “flair” and learn to distinguish just beautiful clothes from those that are really “yours.”
Why is it so important to find “your” thing?
Clothes that suit you not only in size, but also in spirit, can work wonders. It gives confidence, improves mood and helps you express yourself without words. Wearing what you truly love and feel comfortable in is much more important than chasing the latest fashion.

Signs that a thing is “yours”
There is no universal recipe, but there are a number of criteria that will help you in this search:
- Feelings. The first and most important thing is your feelings. When you see an item or try it on, how do you feel? If there is an instant feeling of joy, comfort and “rightness”, this is a good sign. Don't ignore your intuition.
- Comfort. The thing should be comfortable. It should not hinder movement, rub or cause discomfort. Even the most beautiful thing will not be “yours” if it is uncomfortable. Try on carefully, move around in clothes.
- Fit with your lifestyle. Think about where and how often you can wear this item? Is it suitable for your daily activities, work, leisure? The thing that is in the closet “for a special occasion” may be beautiful, but “yours” will be the one that you can integrate into your real life.
- Harmony with the wardrobe. Imagine what clothes you already have that you can combine this thing with. If you immediately have several ideas on how to wear it, this is an excellent indicator. “Your” item easily fits into the existing style and complements it.
- Reflection of personality. Clothing is a way of non-verbal communication. What does this thing say about you? Do you feel like yourself in it? It should reflect your inner world, your values, your mood.
- Quality and condition. In a second-hand store, it is especially important to pay attention to the quality of tailoring and the condition of the item. Even if it looks beautiful, but has defects or does not fit well due to wear, it is unlikely to become “yours” for a long time. The Megahand assortment is regularly updated, which increases the chances of finding the perfect condition.

FAQ: How to understand that an item is “yours” when buying at a second-hand store?
How to distinguish intuition from an impulsive purchase?
Intuition is often accompanied by a feeling of calm confidence and joy. An impulse purchase is more likely to be caused by external factors (a discount, a friend bought it) and may be accompanied by doubt after the purchase. Try to put the item aside for 10-15 minutes and come back to it.
What to do if you really like the item, but it doesn’t fit in size?
You can rarely find a full range of sizes in a second-hand store. If the item is only a little large, consider whether it can be easily sewn in. If it's small or requires major alterations, you might want to let it go, no matter how sad it may be.
How do I know if an item will go with my wardrobe?
Before you go shopping, you can take a photo of the main items in your wardrobe, or at least keep their color scheme and style in mind. In the fitting room, imagine specific combinations.
Is it worth buying a unique but impractical item at a second-hand store?
If this item evokes strong positive emotions, fits perfectly and you are ready to find a reason to wear it (even if rarely), then why not? Second-hand stores provide this opportunity without large financial investments.
