Ways to Save Money on Clothes<\/strong><\/h1>\n

\"How<\/p>\n

When it comes to shopping for clothes, most people either hate it or love it. Whether a clothing store is your happy place or your worst nightmare, here are some tips that can help you save a little extra money next time you are clothes shopping.<\/span><\/p>\n

Use Online Extensions<\/b><\/h2>\n

Using online extensions such as Honey<\/u><\/a>\u00a0can help you save money. When you install shopping extensions onto your computer, you automatically are shown coupons or deals a website might be running. Then, you are able to apply that discount code to your cart instantly at checkout.<\/span><\/p>\n

Thrift Shops <\/b><\/h2>\n

Thrift Shops are a great way to get clothing for cheap. You can find a lot of great clothing options at places like Goodwill or other thrift stores. This is also a way to shop sustainably, since you are recycling someone else’s clothes which is great for the environment.<\/span><\/p>\n

Thrift shopping is a great way to shop for trends. When you shop at a thrift store, you are not spending a fortune on clothing that you might only wear for a short time. Spending less money on trendy wardrobe pieces will give you more money to spend on basics that you are likely to wear more often.<\/span><\/p>\n

Don\u2019t Shop as Retail Therapy<\/b><\/h2>\n

After a hard day at work, are you tempted to go to the mall? Or maybe you spend too much time online shopping? Whatever it is for you, it might be a good idea to find another stress reliever that won\u2019t break the bank.<\/span><\/p>\n

You can save a lot of money by not shopping without a reason. A good habit that you can also use is to put that money you were going to spend on buying an item into a savings account. This way you can see all the money that you almost spent on shopping in one account. This practice can help you realize just how much you spend on clothing, and in turn make you want to spend less.<\/span><\/p>\n

Go Through Your Current Clothing <\/b><\/h2>\n

Going through your current wardrobe can help you see what you already have in your closet, since you might not know what hidden gems you might find. Going through your closet every year is a great way to see what you could be wearing more. You can also see what pieces you can repurpose to make new.<\/span><\/p>\n

Borrow or Trade with Friends<\/b><\/h2>\n

If you are lucky enough to be the same size as some of your friends or family, use this to your advantage. If they are willing, you can ask if you can borrow something of theirs. You might even offer one of your clothing items for them to borrow. This can also be a great way to save money if you only need something for one event. For example, you might need a blue dress for a certain event. Instead of going out to buy one, see if you know anyone that has one first.<\/span><\/p>\n

Sell What You Don\u2019t Wear <\/b><\/h2>\n

Today, there are so many different platforms where you can sell your clothes. There are places like Poshmark<\/u><\/a>, Thredup<\/u><\/a>, and other apps that you can use to sell your clothes. Making money on some clothes that you do not wear can give you extra cash to spend on other clothes.<\/span><\/p>\n

Buy Out of Season <\/b><\/h2>\n

Buying your clothing out of season can be a great way to save a lot of money. Shopping out of season, or even during the end of the season is a great way to get some of the best deals possible. For example, If you are looking to make a large purchase like a winter coat, try looking for one in the Spring, right after winter is over.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":26,"featured_media":22020,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[45],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-16598","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-helpful-hints"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.af247.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/16598","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.af247.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.af247.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.af247.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/26"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.af247.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=16598"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"https:\/\/www.af247.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/16598\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":22021,"href":"https:\/\/www.af247.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/16598\/revisions\/22021"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.af247.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/22020"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.af247.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=16598"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.af247.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=16598"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.af247.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=16598"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
