The first tip is that instead of shopping in expensive brand name stores, the better place to shop would be online. The internet has thousands of little known websites where anyone can purchase brand name clothing at 50 – 90% off their original price. One popular website to find such deals would be Ebay where auctions are usually held on such pieces. All it takes is a little savvy and internet research and one can get numerous brand name pieces for a couple hundred bucks.
Flash sale sites are another great place where designer pieces can be purchased very cheaply. These websites offer specific pieces and they ship these in bulk to the flash retailer. This causes them to save a lot of money on packaging and marketing, which allows the savings to passed onto the consumer. However, these designer pieces sell out extremely quickly, so one has to be quick on the draw. These websites usually send out daily emails which will entice daily spending. So, when using these websites, it is important to only allow the site to send an email when specific brand names are on sale.
Another tip is to simply shop for fashionable clothing during the off season and choose pieces that are classic as oppose to seasonal.
This will allow anyone to look fashionable all the time without worrying about being out of season and irrelevant. The best time for off season shopping is actually a week or two before the store has a sale. This will allow for a greater variety of items to be bought at significantly lower prices.
Buying fashionable clothes second hand or swapping with friends is another great way to wear in-style clothes. Most people cannot afford to fill their wardrobe with brand name items, however, a group of friends can fill the wardrobe if everyone contributes.
Lastly, instead of purchasing brand name clothes, there are many other cheaper brands that offer the same look and style of brand names. For example, Marc by Marc Jacobs and REDValentino are much cheaper but look just as good as the main brand.
There are many ways to find cheap fashionable clothes and it simply comes down to being creative and working around budgetary limitations. Anyone can look amazing, once they truly want to.
