It’s great to be rich, isn’t it?
You can buy anything you want! The best cars, the best watches, and most of all, the best in fashion! Celebs in fashionable clothes with matching accessories are eye candy. Just look at them and you wonder,
“HOW DO THEY MANAGE TO LOOK PERFECT ALL THE TIME?”
It’s because they can invest in any expensive brand they want to, have the best personal stylists in tow and they do not mind splurging! If only we had all this, surely we would manage to look even better 🙂 .
Wait, it’s not just them, you can look stylish too.
How to look stylish on a budget.
1) Mix n’ match:
Clothes’ shopping needn’t be expensive at all! You needn’t own a ton of clothes in your wardrobe. Just mix and match and invest in versatility. Case in point? Check right here on various ways you can mix and match to make each outfit look different. Wear various permutations and people will never notice!
2) Shop Regularly for a fixed budget:
Say you’re going all out and make purchases for Rs.5000 at one go! You feel guilty about it later. Rather you can divide and distribute your expenses and fix a budget at Rs.1000 a month.
That way you wouldn’t feel guilty about spending and you can improvise your wardrobe at a decent rate.
3) You needn’t invest in expensive brands:
Look at any fashion magazine like Vogue and they give you the impression that shopping expensive is in!
You need to understand that having an expensive wardrobe isn’t going to make you stylish! Learning to put together a good outfit will! Nobody actually plays fashion police and notices your brands. There’s no use splurging Rs.6,000 on a MANGO top when you can get cool tops at much lower rates from modest brands or even unbranded collections.
You can shop for good looks at cheap rates and still manage to look stylish! Go for inexpensive clothes which look good on you. For e.g. watch how you can achieve Kangana’s entire look in a budget.
4) Invest more on basics:
Nothing like a classic pair of jeans to save you on a bad wardrobe day! Invest a little more on essentials in your wardrobe like jeans, a skirt, and any party wear as they will last you a long time.
For this you need to do a check on what you consider essentials. For the average Indian, it can be
- A pair of jeans
- A white shirt
- A skirt
- A nice saree
- A good pair of ethnic clothes like lehenga
- A party-wear top
5) Find the right stores(online):
Online shopping is a big business for fashion and a major reason for this is that items are often less expensive online. The reason is that online stores are able to cut down on costs because they don’t have the same sorts of rentals, staff, and bills as physical retail stores.
Check out the right store which offers clothes which suit you and your budget. Online stores are the one-stop destinations for all types of fashion. So browse each store, check out the clothes and accessories(and the rates!) and order from them. Of course you can always use coupons from sites like Shoppirate for even better offers.
