- Try them on
So after we are done shopping it's time to try them on properly. I love trying on clothes. This is the moment to evaluate your Okrika buying skills. While trying them on, take time to check for any other problems with the clothes.

Make use of your local tailor to reduce or increase clothes that are big or small. You can even completely transform an item you bought to suit your style.
For example, you can transform a pair of trumpet trousers into slim trouser.
