Yourself About Ann Taylor:
Ann Taylor vs
Ann Taylor Loft -
What's The Difference?
Whether they're ads in your
favorite fashion magazine or the titles of auctions on
eBay, you may come across two seemingly redundant
terms: Ann Taylor and
Ann Taylor Loft. These titles represent two distinct
clothing labels that are sold in different stores from
this popular fashion brand.
Here are the differences in a nutshell:
Ann
Taylor = Higher priced, more luxurious fashion
collections that are
geared towards
working
professional
women.
Ann
Taylor
Loft = Designer collections that are
more casual and affordably priced, geared
towards
younger women.
According
to Ann Taylor's official web site:
"Ann Taylor stores
compete in the better priced category, and cater to the
successful, relatively affluent career woman, who needs
appropriate, fashion conscious attire for her professional
life, and prefers stylish, coordinated looks for her leisure
activities.
Ann Taylor Loft stores compete in the upper
moderate priced category. Ann Taylor Loft collections
are designed for value conscious women with a more relaxed
lifestyle both at work and at home."
While
the designs, tailoring and sizing are similarly excellent,
Ann
Taylor apparel is usually crafted from more expensive,
higher quality fabrics
than Ann Taylor Loft pieces. For example, in the winter,
most Ann Taylor sweaters are pure cashmere, while the Loft
carries
sweaters
made of blended fabrics. Ann
Taylor and Ann Taylor Loft are both well known as places
to find feminine, tailored suits, separates,
dresses, shoes
and accessories with an updated classic style. Each offers
a variety of career, casual and special occasion clothing.
Their designs coordinate and work well together, so you
can
build a full wardrobe with items combined from either store.
When purchasing Ann Taylor apparel on
eBay, be sure that the seller makes it clear which
label you're getting. Reputable sellers like SunshineStyles have straightfoward auctions
that spell out whether their items are from Ann Taylor
or Ann Taylor Loft.
