Build Your Summer Wardrobe On A Budget
With the warmer temperatures we are having here in the UK we need to start making some summer clothes investments. It's hard not to jump onto the micro trends during the summer holidays, but we need to be thinking long term. To build you summer wardrobe you want to consider many different factors. Such as, budget! Getting new pieces for your wardrobe can be costly, especially when shopping for the family as well. Which is why we wanted to share our tips on how to build your summer wardrobe on a budget.
What Clothes Do You Need & What Do You Want
There is a real difference on picking items that you need and those you want. When you are heavily restricted to a budget then you need to consider that you might not be able to get everything you want. Therefore meaning you need to prioritise those items you need. When you are shopping for the whole family it makes sense to build a list of what EVERYONE needs/wants. From that list you can see what items you need to look for now. For example if your son needs a winter coat it's not going to be at the top of the list even though he needs it, but you might want to keep an out for a good sale price.
Where Are You Heading
If you have something fun planned for you or for the whole family - where is it? UK staycations tend to make for heavier handed packing as we can NEVER predict what type of weather we are going to be faced with. Where as if you are going abroad sunshine or at least dry high temperatures are a given. Which means you can figure out what items that you want that could also be practical for your holiday.
Where Are You Getting Your Clothes
Maybe it's time to consider that saving money on clothes could be resolved by where you are buying your clothes. We don't mean hit up the fast fashion brands for a cheap win. We actually mean the opposite, as this clothes tend to only last a season before you notice wear and tear. However, if you are on a budget we understand that buying from higher ends brands isn't the best solution. Which is why suggest that you look at buying second-hand. You can get some incredible steals and great purchases at a fraction of the cost. If you know what it is you are looking for then you won't even be scrolling through the website aimlessly.
