7 Tips To Save Money On Your Wardrobe
We LOVE adding new pieces to our wardrobe, but we’re just as obsessed with scoring the best bargain. We’ve put together 7 of our favourite tips for saving money while shopping. They might not be groundbreaking, but they’re easy to overlook and make a huge difference!
01 Shop Off-Season
One of our go-to hacks? Shopping off-season. The Outnet and Net-a-Porter always come through with next-level sales and unbeatable discounts. Plus, a lot of stores bring back last season’s pieces at a fraction of the price. Just don’t get caught up in the hype—if you wouldn’t buy it full price, it’s not a deal.
02 Take Advantage of Loyalty Programs
Many retailers have loyalty programs that are definitely worth joining. You’ll score perks like discount codes, money-off vouchers, and even early access to sales. Some of the best? Rat & Boa for fashion, Look Fantastic and Sephora for beauty!
03 Always Check for Discount Codes
Signing up for newsletters is a simple way to save—most of the time, you’ll get 10% off your first purchase. Plus, with influencer discount codes popping up everywhere, there’s always a deal to be found. As they say, every little bit counts!
04 Multi Season Clothes
Opt for pieces that work year-round, like lightweight knits that layer up in winter and stand alone in spring. Wear your dresses in summer, then throw a knit over them when it gets colder. And dungarees? A winning combination no matter the season.
05 Utilise Returns Policies
If you get home after an in-store purchase and start feeling a bit of buyer’s remorse, try it on with pieces you already own. Remember, most stores offer a return policy, so you always have the option to return it if it’s not quite right! People tend to forget or just don’t bother—that’s the real problem!
06 Outlet Shopping for Designer
If you’re eyeing a designer piece, hitting up the outlets is a must. And let’s be real—Bicester Village is the spot for this. While many outlets stock items made just for them, Bicester Village is true past-season collections and, if you’re lucky, even current-season steals at a fraction of the price!
07 Shop Sample Sales
The discounts at sample sales can be insane, sometimes up to 70% off or more, and you get access to designer brands without the designer price tag. The catch? It’s usually a bit chaotic, and sizes can be limited, so it’s all about getting in early and being prepared to sift through the racks. But if you’re up for it, it’s a treasure hunt worth the effort!
Here’s a golden rule—only buy pieces you’ll keep coming back to. It’s worth spending a little extra on something that’ll stick around longer than one outing!
