Buying new clothes can be a lot of fun but it can also drain you financially. Technically, you do not really need to have new clothes all the time. If you know how to take care of your clothes to make them look new for a long time, you can just mix match your clothes to make it appear that you have a huge closet full of new clothes. The colors of your clothes will fade and bleed over time; however, the good news is that you can easily delay the process of aging on your clothes. That Anne Cole, Tommy Hilfiger, Calvin Klein, DKNY, Claiborne, Liz Claiborne, Ralph Lauren, polo or Jones Apparel that you bought from Macy’s last year could still look good if you take care of it.
How can you make your clothes look new all the time? First, you need to read the labels of the clothes that you bought carefully for washing and storing instructions. Always remember that different types of fabrics need to be treated differently. Second, you need to empty all pockets and close zippers before you put your clothes into the washing machine. Note that sharp objects that are left in the pockets of clothes can case tearing on the fabric. On the other hand, open zippers may cause snagging that may result to damages on the clothes. You should also inspect your clothing for any holes and sew these holes up before putting them in the washing machine. Always remember that washing machines tends to tug on your clothes in powerful jerks causing small holes in your clothes to go bigger. Third, you must turn colored clothes inside out before you put them in the washing machine to prevent the color from fading. Fourth, you need to wash colored and white clothes separately. Whites should be washed in warm water with bleach while dark colored clothing should be washed in cold water.
When drying your clothes, sort them first before you put them in the dryer. Separate clothes that are made of light materials from those that are made up of heavy materials. Do not overload the dryer. On the other hand, if you have some space in the house where you can line dry the clothes; try not to use the dryer. Clothes that are line dry usually have longer lifespan that those that are constantly subjected to tugging and tumbling inside the dryer. Once your clothes are clean and dry, store them in plastic garment bags and then place them inside your closet. Do store your clothes in cardboard boxes. Note that moths love cardboard boxes so make sure that you do not tempt the moths to eat up your clothes. Besides, cardboard boxes will not be able to protect your clothes from getting wet and strained.

| Macy and Company, Inc. |
in full R.h. Macy And Company, Inc ., major American department store chain. Its principal outlet, the 11-story department store that occupies a city block at New York City's Herald Square (34th Street and Broadway), was for many years physically the largest single store in the country. Headquarters are in New York City.
The company grew out of a partnership founded in lower Manhattan in 1858 by Rowland H. Macy (1822?–77), whose several previous attempts at retailing had all failed. Under the close supervision of Margaret Getchell, a Macy cousin and pioneer businesswoman, the store prospered after the American Civil War, relying on extensive advertising and its reputation for value. The company's red star trademark was derived from a tattoo borne by founder R.H. Macy.

| Macy’s Respect For Diversity Strategy Goes A Long Way |
| When Rowland Hussey Macy started the first Macy’s store in 1858 at the corner of 14th street and 16th Avenue in New York, he had envisioned a company that will open new grounds in doing business. He envisioned a store that would not just sell products like clothing and shoes, but would also provide equal opportunities to men and women in terms of career. In fact, Macy’s was the first to promote a woman to an executive position in the retail industry. Margaret Getchell rose among the ranks on Macy employees to become one of the first female executives in the history of the United States. The move of Macy’s at that time was considered very bold since women were not really known to hold such high positions during that era. more |
