Staying stylish on a budget can be a bit tricky, especially with the rising cost of living. However, with the right tips, it is possible to stay stylish on a budget. Once you understand your personal style and your budget, and you know how to work with these, your fashion world becomes so much more fun.
Here are some tips to help you stay stylish on a budget –
Keep your wardrobe uncluttered
This is one tip that is not as popular, but keeping your wardrobe uncluttered helps your clothes breathe, and allows you to easily shop your closet and spot any gaps. I recently did a massive declutter of my wardrobe and being able to get rid of unloved items felt so good. It also allowed me to really see spot gaps that needed filling for the spring months. I realised I didn’t really have springy pieces that were stylish and comfortable enough to work from home in. If you want to stay stylish on a budget, the first step is to declutter and see what you are really working wit
Create or maintain a capsule wardrobe
Having a capsule wardrobe allows you have a fab collection of pieces and accessories that embody your personal style, and this helps you create various looks with minimal effort. Apart from the fact that having a capsule wardrobe can be seriously stylish, it also makes fashion shopping a lot more affordable, as you would find that you don’t have to shop so often, and you would get more wear out of every item.
Look out for sales
Before you go shopping, look out for which stores have items on sale. If none, consider holding on until you can get the item for a cheaper price. With the rise in cost for pretty much everything, it is important to avoid impulse buying, and shop more smartly. I love buying items on sale that I would have bought at full price. It feels to shop and save money at the same time.
Mix high-end with high street pieces
This is one of my favourite style on a budget tip. Mixing high-end pieces with high street pieces is a smart way to style on a budget. Styling a River Island or NEXT dress with a Gucci handbag and Stella McCartney heels is super cool.
What do you think of these style tips? How do you stay stylish on a budget?
All good tips. I have higher end and high street mixed too. I shop higher end of my style in the sales too.
There is a certain online cheaper store which is really good. Though I mainly use it for shoes and boots. Everything is around the fiver mark and part seasons style works for me.
You should be able to work out which online store I mean as I’m not sure if I’m aloud to say it on here
I know the store. I have heard lots of good things about the brand. Never shopped there before but will do one of these days. Thanks Carol.
