If you have pondered the difference between the two terms, come closer, let me fill you in.
The runway looks are otherwise known as Haute Couture, a word that connotes 'high sewing'. They are the outfits we see on runways, that are usually very thrilling in appearance. They are custom made to the measurements of specific clients, and are made from more luxurious materials than their ready to wear counterpart. The designs are usually over the top and are sold in luxury stores. Often they serve as a framework for what will be later varied in smaller retail stores.
Ready to Wear or, as the French call it, pret-a-porter are more practical and affordable. Larger quantities are manufactured in different range of sizes and are available in retail stores. Most designers have ready to wear lines even though they deal in couture designs.
It doesn't matter if you can not afford couture clothes, what counts is your personality. Fashion can be bought, but style cannot be bought. Put on whatever works for you and shine.
