How to Freshen Up Your Style for Less

Now and again, everyone feels dissatisfied with the clothes in their wardrobe and decide that they are ready to freshen up their style. However, many potential fashionistas are put off by the cost of the latest and trendiest clothes. There are many ways that you can invest in your wardrobe and fill it with new clothes without breaking the bank; here is a selection of ways that you can do this.

Use Coupons

If you are too impatient to wait for the end-of-season sales that hit the stores in January, there are many online coupons that are available all year round, and that can allow you to buy the styles that everyone is wearing for a fraction of the price. For instance, Kohls coupons from Valpak can help you to save on a range of basic and essential women’s clothing, ensuring that you can fill your closet with classic styles that will never fade out of fashion.

Choose High Street Brands

Although you might have your eye and heart set on an item from a designer brand, you should look around to see whether you can find similar pieces in your local high street stores before buying this extortionately priced number. In many cases, once an item starts to trend or find its way onto the catwalk, many cheaper versions will be introduced. Although they may not be of the same quality, for high-fashion pieces that will disappear from memory next season, buying from a high street store can be the best option.

Purchase Second-Hand or Vintage Clothes

Second-hand and vintage clothing is the way to go if you want new clothes without the hefty price tag, with most charity shops only putting out high-quality pieces for sale. If you don’t fancy traipsing around the stores, you should consider hosting a clothes swap where you can gather with friends to exchange clothes and make your trash someone else’s treasure.

Look for Old Clothes

Most people have attics and basements overflowing with different clothes that they have discarded over the years. However, if there is one thing that you can expect from the fashion world, it is that certain styles will always come back into fashion. Then, if you are tired of your wardrobe, you should hunt around in your boxes to find old pieces of clothing that you can put into rotation again.

Only Buy What You Like

It is easy to get tempted by the flashy window displays of some of the high street’s top fashion brands, and these can make you spend more money than you expect. However, you should try to only buy what you like. If you like retro pieces with a twist of dark humor, you may opt for Steven Rhodes collection of shirts and pullover hoodies. Consider the color of the clothes you’d buy as well. Make sure it is something that matches well with your personality. 

This can help you to create a capsule wardrobe full of pieces that you love and that you will want to wear every day without leaving your bank account drained from purchases that you regret.

Find New Ways to Wear Clothes

However, you do not have to purchase new clothes at all to freshen up your style. Instead, you should simply find new ways to wear your clothes. For instance, you might consider mixing and matching your clothing differently or adding new accessories to your ensemble.
