Popularly known as 'Okrika' clothes, these items are sold for way less than you'd get them at boutiques or online stores.
2. DIY hacks

With upcycling, you can transform an old item into a new piece with just the right method and idea. There are many fun Do-it-yourself hacks available on the internet.
3. Sales and coupons
The emergence of e-commerce has made shopping a whole lot easier. A lot of shopping websites and Instagram shops often announce when there are items on sales and also offer coupons.
Set up sale notifications on those pieces you desire but can’t quite afford right now to avoid overspending.
4. Declutter and sell
This is one of the easiest ways to make quick cash for new items.
Go through your closet and fish out items you no longer wear and want but that are still in good condition. Put them on sale and use the profit for new clothes.
This way, you're not dipping into your savings to buy new clothes.
5. Go for quality
One of the reasons people often need new clothes is either they are bored, in need of retail therapy, or their clothes are old.
Now, if you go for good quality clothing, they will last longer and buy you enough time before your next shopping date.
6. Be confident
Above all, if you've applied all five aforementioned tips and still lack confidence in your carriage, it will all be for nothing.
Looking good has to do with more than just your clothes, your confidence also matters.
Try these tips and watch the magic happen to both your savings and your wardrobe!
