Caring About People, One Outfit At A Time
When Kamali recently decided to broaden her fashion offerings to reach people who previously couldn’t afford anything she made, a statement she has listed on her website reveals her excitement about being able to reach a new group of women and give them access to her designs in an effort to help them look and feel great and have improved confidence and self-esteem. Each of pieces is designed to be easy to fit, easy to care for, and easy to mix and match so by investing in a handful of basics, women can build an entire wardrobe.
What It Costs
What you will spend on a Kamali item depends on what you want and wear you shop. If money is tight or you just enjoy the thrill of getting a great bargain, then by all means, try the Walmart line. Almost everything costs $20 or less, with the exception of a classic double-breasted trench coat, which is priced at $30.
T-shirts start at $6, while many of the pants styles are in the $15 range. T-shirt dresses are also $15. A versatile wrap dress is $20, as is a fitted blazer and a long v-neck cardigan. So for $100, you can easily get five or six pieces or even more and most of them shouldn’t go out of style anytime soon.
On the upscale end of the Kamali offerings, footed zebra leggings around about $100, while a bodysuit blouse is $375. Cat suit leggings adorned with studs are $550. A Victorian-inspired jacket made from multi-color parachute fabric is close to $100. Further, a slip feather chemise dress of silk satin will set you back between $2,500 and $3,000.
So you can find Kamali pieces spanning the range of under $20 on up to a $3,000 or even higher.
A Worthy Investment
At a time when the balance of your retirement fund and what you own in stocks are both probably lower than they were a year ago, you may be heartened to know that when it comes to value, it seems like at the least the more affordable Kamali items can hold their own and even bring back more than you spent if you decide to sell them later. Since some of the Walmart styles are sold out fast, many people are buying multiple pieces and selling them on Ebay or through resale shops for higher prices.
