How To Refresh Your Wardrobe Without Spending A Penny

A wardrobe refresh doesn’t have to cost you a thing! January’s the ideal time for a style overhaul, and we’ve got 8 genius tips to give your wardrobe a whole new vibe—without spending a penny!

Detox Your Wardrobe

Let’s kick things off with the obvious: a detox. Wardrobes packed to the brim can leave you feeling like you have nothing to wear, even when it’s overflowing! So, clearing out the old stuff and re-organising is step one in your wardrobe refresh. It might take a bit of time, but trust us—it’ll be worth it when you can actually see what’s in there!

Get A Pinterest Account

If you’re not using Pinterest, now’s the time to start! It’s the ultimate tool for wardrobe inspo and a killer way to refresh your style without spending a penny. Build a mood board of your favourite looks and discover new ways to wear the pieces you already own. Got a leather jacket or boots you’re stuck on? Search it on Pinterest and get a flood of new outfit ideas!

Revisit Basics

Sometimes, we get caught up in chasing statement pieces and aiming for a “wow” outfit. But often, stripping it back to basics results in the most timeless looks. A simple long-sleeve, well-fitted jeans, and a solid belt can make you feel like you’re wearing something fresh—and we’re pretty sure everyone already has this winning formula in their wardrobe!

Borrow From Your Partner’s Wardrobe

Upgrade your wardrobe by shopping your partner’s closet! It’s like a free shopping spree. Try on a few pieces and see what works—you’ll realise you have so many more outfit options! Jackets and sweatshirts are always great go-tos!


Mix Casual & Formal

Mix formal pieces like blazers or button-down shirts with casual staples like jeans and trainers. Or, throw on a baseball cap with a wool coat or blazer to make the look more casual. It’s a smart way to get more mileage out of your wardrobe!

Play With Colour Combinations

Forget the old rules—black and blue can totally work together. Try mixing unexpected shades like chocolate and light blue, grey and chocolate or pink and red. The possibilities are endless, so have fun experimenting with colours!

Repurpose

Before parting with your old jeans, transform them into summer shorts for a new look! Use bandanas as bag accessories or tie around belt loops to add interest to outfits.

Sell On Vinted

Sell the items you don’t wear and reinvest that money into pieces that fit your 2025 style. It’s a smart way to clear space, make a little cash, and refresh your wardrobe for the year ahead. But don’t be rash - only sell the pieces you’re sure you won’t regret letting go of!
