The Best Time of Year to Restock Your Closet

Shopping tips image

If you spend a lot of time looking into your wardrobe until you find the outfit that you want, it is the right time to refresh and/or restock your closet. Maybe you have too many items that you don’t use anymore, either because they’ve gone out of style or don’t fit you anymore.

Other times you simply keep a lot of old clothes for their sentimental value, but you can no longer use them to go out on the street. Whatever the reason, updating your wardrobe from time to time is always a lot of fun.

You need to start by taking the clothes out of the closet and analyzing them piece by piece. After getting rid of what no longer fits, you can finally go shopping without feeling guilty. And when we talk about shopping, it’s always good to remember that there are some ideal times throughout the year to restock your closet on a budget.

Let’s analyze three of them and why you should circle them down in your calendar so you don’t miss the next big sale!

Holiday Season

Store owners often take advantage of this time of the year (and the number of people looking for gifts) to promote deals, markdowns, and even cashback offers. This happens first because retailers try to avoid getting stuck with lots of things after Christmas; and from January because they want to get rid of what they couldn’t sell during the holidays.

So, this is the best moment to find bargains like designer clothes and cool accessories such as handbags or some in-demand and timeless aviator prescription glasses for a much more attractive price.

But you’re not the only person looking for offers during this period. So here are some tips to avoid the holiday rush and still get great deals:

  • Make your Christmas shopping list in advance to better set your budget.
  • Go to outlet stores rather than malls or large department stores.
  • Set your budget before you start holiday shopping.
  • Compare prices of items you’re looking for on the stores’ websites to identify the best deals.
  • Don’t leave your shopping to the last minute.
Memorial Day

This is a federal holiday originally created for mourning the soldiers who have died while serving in the U.S. armed forces. It takes place at the end of May and for a few decades now it has also become one of the biggest shopping holidays of the year, offering a three-day weekend with sales of summer merchandise.

Precisely because of this – retailers preparing their stores for summer, which starts in June – it is possible to find great deals on spring items that these retailers were unable to sell during the season. And since they want to clear out their inventory, discounts can reach up to 50 percent, allowing you to stock your closet with a few pieces for next spring.

The golden tip is not to buy summer clothes during the Memorial Day sales, because these items’ prices usually go down during mid-summer and you can buy them for a better price on the following date…

4th of July

The Fourth of July (also known as Independence Day) has been celebrated since the 18th century and became a federal holiday in 1870. Gradually, the political importance of the date began to be forgotten and the focus shifted to a celebration of American patriotism, with family get-togethers, fireworks shows, and lots of outdoor parties.

To take advantage of the celebrations, retailers started promoting massive discounts and turned the 4th of July into one of the hottest shopping holidays of the year, especially for those looking for summer and spring clothes.

Around the same time, another great option is Amazon Prime Day, a 48-hour deal event promoted by the e-commerce empire that offers thousands of deals. In 2022, Prime Day took place on July 12th and 13th, and these dates are expected to be repeated in 2023. So the first half of July is one of the great times to restock your closet, with at least two weeks’ worth of deals and promotions.

Keep an Eye on the Calendar

Although there are some other opportunities throughout the year to buy cheap (including the famous Black Fridays), the three dates above are the best times to restock your closet without compromising your bank account or accumulating debt for the rest of the year.

Try to stick to the basics and avoid superfluous purchases. Before going out shopping madly, make a list of the items you really need instead of buying only what is on offer or at a great discount. That way you avoid filling your closet with clothes you may never wear in your life.

How Can You Use Gender Norms To Your Stylistic Advantage?

There are so many ways to approach style and your fashion choices that no one can really tell you if you’re ‘doing it wrong,’ unless of course, you’re dressing inappropriately for a certain event or in a public setting, or if you’re wearing an item incorrectly, such as trying to wear a coat backward or wearing a t-shirt inside out.

That said, often style is found when we break the norms or try for something new because it makes us happy. Look at some of the biggest fashion icons in the world and we constantly see their willingness to flip the script.

Think of David Bowie, an international fashion icon in his heyday, who often managed to balance his wardrobe between masculine, feminine, and gender-neutral clothing. Now, you may have a very real sense of who you are, what gender you are, and how you present yourself to the world. But that doesn’t mean you can’t try the opposite or wear something if you’re interested in it and it pleases you.

But how can you use breaking gender norms, or adopting them for fun, to your stylistic advantage? It’s a good question and might help you enjoy rejuvenating your fashion decisions. Let’s consider a few ways that might happen:

Wear Men’s Clothing For Comfort & Practicality

It can be nice to wear clothes that haven’t been ‘styled’ as much as women’s clothing often is. A nice set of mens clothing can help you feel comfortable and practical, and also make a bold statement. A large sweater, a comfortable set of practical trousers, and large sneakers that help pillow your feet more comfortably but still fit and look stylish, all can be a fantastic choice to make.

Blend & Fuse Both Gender Styles

There’s no rule that says you have to wear one gender style or the other. It can be good to blend them if you like, such as wearing a man’s large denim shirt and women’s denim trousers that fit you more easily – going for that classical American mechanic’s look. Don’t think you have to balance the clothes with one another, it might be that a man’s outfit with women’s accessories and jewellery is for you. Have fun with it. After all – imagine if an artist were to find that they could double the number of colors on their palette for painting. They’d marvel at the creativity they now had access to.

Experiment & Have Fun

When we try something new, we do make mistakes. In ten years, you might look back and think “what did I wear that day?” with a smile on your face. But that’s much better than not experimenting if you wished to. If you want to wear that bold piece of jewellery, go for it. The benefit of this is that you’ll start breaking obligations for other people too. After all, in Ancient Rome many people wore togas, dresses were usual for men, and at other times women were covered from neck to toe because that was the cultural expectation. Have fun experimenting – and put your own stamp on culture!
