Do you remember the last time when you went shopping for clothes? Though some tend to say it is a stress reliever, afterwards it may prove to be a real guilt teaser. If you spend more than you intended, you may end up stressing out over it. Money is crucial factor on how much you will or will not feel guilt when it comes to clothing shopping. But there are few ways of renewing your wardrobe that don’t require spending as much money as usual, without renouncing the need to be fashionable. Here are few tips and tricks on how to do that.

1. Think ahead – shop out of season
   This is a well known money saver as for clothes shopping, but a little reminder can’t hurt. You can easily buy stunning outfits that you know you’ll need the next season, at amazingly low prices. Also, it’s less likely that you’ll overspend, because you’re shopping for things that you don’t need right now. An extra tip you’ll need if you embark in this kind of shopping: don’t buy seasonal hits that will be outdated the very next year.

2. Handle the second hand stores
   Shopping in consignment stores is a great way to save money while buying famous brands. Though this type of shopping may demand more of your time than regular boutique tours, with a little effort you may find perfectly preserved fashionable items for almost nothing. It’s a great and cheap way to own designer labels, you couldn’t normally afford. You can also sell clothing pieces that you won’t wear anymore, and spend the extra cash on new items. If you visit some of the online consignment stores, make sure they have a “google trusted” certificate, since that is one sure way to know you're purchases are safe.

3. DIY your style
   By learning how to sew some simple clothing pieces you may save a pile of money. Master the basics of repairing and refreshing your clothes first, such as button replacement, changing a zipper or hemming pants. Hand-sewing buttons is a piece of cake first step towards refreshing a clothing item. In the future, you might even be able to design and sew an entire outfit. How exciting does that sound?

4. Don’t be a sales prey
   You shouldn’t buy everything that is on sale, just because it looks cheap to you. First ask yourself: “Do I really need this?” If you are going to put on something you bought just 1 time, does 40 percent discount really means something to you? A buntch of sales coupons may result with overspending by leading you to buy everything that is on discount, without any real need.

5. Take care of what you have
   Take good care about clothes you already have and that investment will pay off in many ways. Read the labels that are telling you how to wash, dry and iron your clothing, and obey the instructions. Try not to use a dryer, but dry your clothes naturally on a rope outside if you have the opportunity. Buying new clothes often may be very money demanding, and you can avoid that, by simply caring for the clothes you already own. This will help your clothes last longer and look better.
