Keeping up with the ever-changing trends in fashion can be an expensive affair. Every year, it seems, clothing tastes change so much that last season’s clothes feel dated and frumpy. Complicate that with different clothing needs as the seasons change, and staying fashionable can seem like an insurmountable task.

But Hey Bellas! We got you covered. Here are the tips on How to Stay Fashionable on Budget 😉

1. Look For Staples First

This means looking for clothes that are neutral, free of complicated patterns and easy to pair with other clothes. Maybe the clothes you are looking for, are just within your closet. Go and check on it honey

2. Sell or swap with Friends

Swapping clothes with your friends can give new life to unloved pieces and help everyone pick out new pieces to freshen up their wardrobe.

3. Look for Sales and Clearance Items

The best way to keep budgets low is to get your clothes from resale or outlet stores, rather than straight off the rack. Many fantastic pieces end up in these stores due to an inability to move product, or sometimes because a store simply needed to make space for new goods, meaning you’ll find great pieces at low prices in these stores.

4. Browse Thrift Stores

Along with looking for sales and clearances, your clothes can also come from thrift stores. Thrifting, although more frustrating and difficult than shopping in a regular store, can turn up absolute gems to add to your collection for rock-bottom prices. We can even buy clothes in the Ukay-ukay. For only 100 pesos you can have your complete fashionable outfit.

5. Get Creative with Combinations

The best way to keep your outfits fresh is to swap out small pieces or parts. Think of outfits as entire combinations, and each item you swap in or out can make a new look.

Remember Bellas,

Staying fashionable doesn’t have to break the bank. Watching for sales, monitoring your local outlets and thrift stores and letting friends breathe new life into your wardrobe can keep you well-dressed without racking up a debt. Get creative with your wardrobe building to live the fashionista life on a budget.
