It’s almost spring… time to refresh your wardrobe for less

By Kate Naylor on March 15th, 2012 at 9:16am in Fashion

With the weather warming up fast and unseasonably delightful weather across much of Britain this week, it’s time to get your spring wardrobe in order. But how to do it without breaking the bank? Here’s some tips about saving money on the coming season’s top fashion.

  1. get everything out of your wardrobe and drawers so you can see exactly what you’ve got
  2. sort it into piles: to keep, to discard, to recycle, to give away
  3. make a list of the things you really need, taking into account the clothes you’re keeping from last year, and stick to your list. No impulse buys!
  4. most seasons come with a few ‘must haves’, for example the latest skirt or jeans style. The rest – basic items  like t shirts and jumpers and tops – are usually bog standard. Spend your cash wisely buying a handful of good quality, high fashion items and buy the rest cheap
  5. instead of spending a bomb on designer basics use somewhere like Primark, which is perfect for low cost, high fashion tops and Ts that’ll last ’til autumn. Mix up designer with chap basics  for a unique on-fashion look
  6. sell any unwanted decent designer or quality stuff via Ebay to recoup some of your cash
  7. use our discount codes to cut the cost of new clothing and fashion items
  8. hand everything else over to friends, relatives or your local charity shop so nothing’s wasted
  9. if any of your old clothing is hopelessly tatty and knackered, cut it up and use it for cleaning cloths or dusters
  10. remember that no human being needs more than three pairs of shoes and three pairs of sandals…
