Save money on clothes

Clothing can take a big chunk out of your budget. Check out these easy tips.

1) Buy out of season

Retailers put out-of-season clothing on clearance to clear the stock from their stores. You can save a ton buying clothing when you don’t need it – like a coat in May or a swimsuit in December.

2) Shop online clearance sales

Don’t discount online retailers (and retailers’ websites) when you’re shopping for clothes. They follow seasons too with huge discounts – and a larger selection than most stores clearance items.

3) Don’t buy it because it’s on sale

Don’t buy clothes unless you really need them – even if they’re on sale. Thirty percent off isn’t a good deal if you don’t wear it ninety percent of the time.

4) Shop Trends Carefully

What to buy depends on your budget and the season, but some trends seem destined to pass quickly and should be avoided by the budget-conscious. Spend the bulk of your wardrobe budget on quality pieces you can update around, and look for deals on the trendier looks.

5) Accessorize

This can be one of the best money saving tips there is because you can change the whole look of an outfit or piece of clothing just by adding different jewelry, scarves, or even ties.

6) Think in Color Palattes

Purchase clothing in colors and styles that can mixed and matched with other items in your closets. This will give you more variety and save you money.

No matter how hard you try to save money on clothes you need to remember why you are doing it. It might be because you want to save your pocket money or you don't get money for other stuff. So, keep reminding yourself why you need to save money as this helps in making your self control much more better.
