Designer Male Fasion – Ways To Dress Trendy During The Credit Crunch
Does the credit crunch and existing uncertain economic times mean that we should stop buying designer clothes and place less priority on how we look? Well, not necessarily, because you can still look good for less providing you know where to look and are a bit savvier about what you buy.
The first thing to bear in mind is that during difficult times, shops are even keener to get rid of old stock and to keep the cash flows and stock turnover looking favourable. Therefore, it is always a good idea to take advantage of the seasonal sales, of which January is possibly the best of them all. You can get some great bargains in the sales and see discounts of up to 70%
One thing I always enjoy and find satisfying is when you locate and purchase a good bargain in some of the charity shops. It is perhaps time to put your pride to bed and venture in to some of them because there can be some interesting picks to choose from. A good place to look is in the more affluent areas of the country such as the Home Counties if you are ever venturing that way as you can sometimes pick up some really expensive designer labels that have hardly been worn.
Seek it out online; it doesn’t all have to be about bricks and mortar and there are plenty of bargains to be had online, both new and used. Online retailers are booming during the credit crunch and yet they are still offering some huge savings to tempt susceptible shoppers during the current economic climate. Consequently, online voucher sites have seen a massive growth in traffic and so I would always advise that you look at these to see if you can find any discount vouchers.
Don’t forget good old ebay as I have bought quite a few jackets there at great prices and in perfect condition. You just need to make sure that you are dealing with a legitimate seller with plenty of history. It is also a good idea to stick to labels you know. For example, Jaeger jackets always fit me like a clove and I know I will never have a problem with a second hand one that is in the size that I always have.
Learn to mix and match. Dig out any old clothes you have in your storage boxes under your bed and see if anything has come back in to fashion. Next, tidy and coordinate your wardrobe by colour so you can see what you have lots of and what you could do with more of. It is always best to go shopping for new clothes knowing exactly what you have and what you need. It is a bit like grocery shopping with out s shopping list and buying milk because you think you have run out, only to see you have two bottles in the fridge and you could have saved some money.
I also find it useful to look at the items in my wardrobe and ask myself what I could buy that would go with the most items. Therefore you are making your money go much further and increasing the options of what you can pair with which items. For example, I discovered that a casual light weight navy jacket would go with several shirts and three pairs of trousers, so from one purchase I instantly gained several different looks and outfits.
