Shop style-ish and smart on Black Friday

The number 1 feature in an app you need to make it through Black Friday shopping deals

Like many things in 2020, Black Friday and Cyber Monday will be unlike any recent memory. The COVID-19 pandemic has turned many of our social norms upside down and accelerated emerging trends…

Though COVID-like Black Friday would surely be… different, that doesn’t mean that we won’t get caught up in the retail frenzy even if we don’t want to.🙉

The ads are all over our feeds and it seems like everyone has something on sale… but how do you avoid getting drowned in all these offerings?!

We got you covered, girls! At La Koketa App we have a special feature to help you shop smartly and get the best Black Friday deals. The future is in the hands of technology and having a smart shopper by your side for Black Friday is priceless.

Plus, by having more than one way to wear an item in an outfit would surely minimize your cost per wear! Shopping smartly is good for the environment too, not only for your budget.

So, the plot

Say you’ve done all your homework and scouted all online stores with their “leaking” big sales… and oh, you have appointed a budget.

Now what?! You have to find a way to cut through the clutter and pick items that you WILL actually wear and that will MATCH with the other clothes in your wardrobe. And that’s before you even make the purchase!

This is where the “Shop Smartly” feature of La Koketa app comes in very handy – it basically shows you how the desired pieces combine in complete looks with your own clothes with one tap on your iPhone! 📲

That is crucial! Why splurging (or saving) on a bag that is light years away from your style, or buying a coat that you would wear once on a New Year’s Eve (and that’s probably not happening socially this year)?! 😷

Accept it – you can’t have it all 😉 and no need to! Having a curated closet that works for you and suits your needs, and reflects your style is times more valuable than simply having many expensive (or not) pieces.

Think about it: who needs for WFH or lounging a little black dress or Louboutin’s…. While having a statement coat that you can put over your pajamas to go to the gym, pick up the kids from school, or do the groceries would be a real-life necessity. So, invest there! Strap over a nice crossbody jewel and the sleekest sneakers and… you got the idea!

The solution

Let’s say you are looking for a beautiful coat to get you through the cold winter months in style – you have your eyes on a few pieces and you can’t decide which the best pick is. The main issue is how perfectly the new coat would combine with the clothes you already own.

So, to cut to the chase and shop smartly for Black Friday here is how to beat the marketing madness and strike a pose.

The drill

Here’s how it works:

1. Tap the Shop section and go to outerwear!

Find the coats you love by filtering by brand, style, color and DO NOT FORGET to slide the price range bar to a desired and comfortable budget. BE SURE to check the items on sale and put them in your Wishlist by tapping the 🤍. Later you can access them and shop directly from there!

I filtered Outerwear and added the coats I adore to my Wishlist

2. Tap the “What to wear?” button to see all the outfits you can pull up with the selected coat.

I check outfits with the first coat to see how I can wear it before buying

I do the same with the second coat to see if it combines with my clothes

3. Check out the suggested outfits combining the new coat with your own clothes.

Which one scores best on more and better looks? My rule: if I see at least 3 gorgeous outfits incorporating the coat and I really love them, then and only then do I buy it!
