Summer is the time to show off your beautiful outfits in the sunshine, but unfortunately, shopping is an expensive hobby to take on.
If you are searching for ways to save money on your outfits this summer, you have arrived at the right place. In this blog, we will explore how to save money on gorgeous outfits this summer!
Buy versatile pieces that can be worn different ways
Fashion is all about choices, so it’s understandable if you want an array of clothing options to choose from this summer. In an ideal world, we’d walk into our giant walk in wardrobes, picking a new dress for each day, without a care in the world!
In reality, though, most people have a limited budget for their summer outfits. For that reason, one way of saving money while still giving yourself options is by buying versatile pieces that can be worn in different ways.
What does this mean? Let’s take a look at an example. The new UK clothing brand Never Fully Dressed has got the right idea – they stock high quality pieces that can be reshaped into entirely new pieces, if you have the know-how!
Never Fully Dressed aren’t the only brand that sell versatile pieces – search for reworkable pieces for your summer wardrobe 2021!
Go second hand – even if you’re skeptical!
When most people want to buy a new piece of clothing, they immediately head to the webpage of their favourite brand.
However, second hand clothing is coming back into style. This is largely due to the emergence of increasing climate consciousness and platforms such as Depop giving people access to second hand clothes.
If you aren’t used to shopping for second hand clothes, you might have missed out on many incredible money saving moments! Why not head to eBay, Vinted, Depop or any other second hand clothing platform to see what you can find? You might find high quality clothes, shoes, bags and accessories that are in great condition and are under half the price of retail.
Got an event to go to? Hiring is your best option
If you are considering buying a brand new outfit for an event, such as a wedding, you might be alarmed at just how much you could be spending on a new dress, shoes and bag.
One way that many people get around this is to Hire dresses. This is an increasingly popular way of wearing a fabulous, high quality outfit to an event, without having to splash out hundreds, or even thousands, on the piece.
Hiring clothing is also a super sustainable option, making it an even wiser choice in today’s climate!
