Different people have different attitudes towards
branded names. Some are very particular with the brand while others don’t
bother. Wherever you go, especially during social gathering and functions, the
first thing people look at is what other people in the hall are wearing.
Branded? Signature? A lot of people are apparently still so hang up about. Why?
Well, that’s because branded things connote status symbol, class, elegance and
style. And the price you have to pay for them? Only for those with deep
pockets, obviously.
But there are some ways you can still have the “look”
and “image” you want to project in your fashion style and you don’t really have
to spend your lifetime savings. There are ways that we can do to have them
without emptying your wallets. These helpful tips are:
Know Your Size
You must know your current and exact measurements.
These numbers should be your comfortable measurements – not too big and not too
small. Do not make allowances. Even expensive and top of the line branded
dresses can look awkward and “cheap” if the fit is not proper. Always buy your
exact size. Don’t buy smaller sizes hoping that it will fit later once you get
thinner. It’s a waste of money. Your aim is to look good, no matter what dress
you wear. And you can do it as long as you are comfortable in it and you can
carry it elegantly.
For men, visit your tailor to get your exact
measurements. This will enable you to shop off the rack that will give you more
items to choose from. Or you can shop online and hunt for the best deals that
bargain hunters are looking for. Online shopping has many available shopping
sites that offer the same products but with different prices.
Go Local
Local markets are the starting point of successful
designers. It is the best place to shop for quality clothes at low prices.
Quality recycled and one time only find items can also be found here. The
cutthroat competition among the aspiring and the successful designers forces
them to sell at lower prices which benefit significantly the bargain hunters.
You can also check thrift shops in high-end suburbs where you can find branded
items at lower prices than in their store outlets. Don’t be hesitant in going
to second-hand stores. Discard your fear of wearing clothes that somebody had
already worn. Most of the items being sold in these stores are of good quality
and safe to use. They have decent standards when it comes to the wear and use
of items that they purchase and resell. You can chance upon slightly used
designer’s clothes at an unbelievable low price.
Time Your Shopping During Sales
Big and small department stores are conducting sales
throughout the year. There’s post Christmas, New Year and mid-year sales. The
stiff competition and the saturated market forced them to hold sales more often
to grab the available cash. It is best to sign up for email alerts from
different stores so that you will know when the sale will be and what items are
on sale.

our money. You can even have savings by following these tips.
