4 Tips to Dress for Less
Clothes are not just a basic human need, they are also a form of expression. Although they can keep you up to date with the latest trends or show off your personality, clothing can get very pricey.
Here are four tips to make your money for clothing go further:
Buy the Right Size
Buy clothes that look flattering on you, as buying an outfit or clothing item which is slightly smaller – because we reckon we’ll lose some excess weight and enjoy it later – very seldom works.
Sell Unwanted Clothing
Go through your closet and start chucking out any items you haven’t worn in the last three months. You could also try giving them away to your friends or sell them on on social media. When you get cash for your old clothes, then you can buy some new ones.
Be Creative
Altering and mending old clothes can be great fun, plus they give you a unique look.
Have the Basics Down
Get basic items like white T-shirts and skinny jeans that you can pair with other clothes and accessories.Tips for Building a Classic Wardrobe
Fashion trends come and go, but classics last forever. In order to have a well-rounded, timeless wardrobe, you should focus on classics, and add the occasional trendy garments seasonally.
Here are three simple tips to build a classic wardrobe:
Neutrals
Neutrals act as a blank canvas that you can embellish upon. Make sure you have enough staple garments such as shirts, skirts and trousers in black, white, beige, navy and grey.
From there, you can add fun pops of colour, or go for a full-on neutral look for a bold fashion statement.
LBD and LWD
The little black dress (LBD) is an integral part of a classic wardrobe, because it suits almost everyone.
However, many people overlook the importance of a little white dress (LWD). A white dress is timelessly elegant and screams classic, clean and crisp. It’s also the perfect canvas on which to add pops of colour through accessories and make-up.
Great Fitting Jeans
Denim jeans are a staple for almost everyone, and are part of the basic foundation of a classic wardrobe. The trick is to find jeans that fit incredibly well.
Jeans can be dressed up or down, and are available in many different styles and colours.
