How to Pay Less for Your Menswear
Rock bottom tops and bottoms…
Despite the economic downturn there is always going to be a need for a certain amount of clothes. In fact since April 2010 in the UK, retail sales volume increased by 2.8% until April 2011 and the value of retail sales has increased by 6.2% for the same period. With these statistics, retailers and in particular clothing retailers can confidently raise their prices a little. But if like many people you are still affected by higher fuel prices and the rise in inflation overall then you will be looking to save as much money on your clothing as you can. <br/><br/> Here are a few ways in which you can still get the menswear you want, without having to pay through the ear: <br/><br/> Discount Designer Warehouses <br/><br/> If you are rubbish online, cant bear the thought of buying your clothes from a supermarket and you are just desperate for designer outfits, then have a look out for a designer retail village in your area. These are stores which are set up only to sell, off season, slightly damaged or excess stock and always end up being cheaper than their high street cousins. Look for one in your area. <br/><br/> Online <br/><br/> It may seem quite obvious to some, but many people still haven't embraced the cost cutting online shopping forum that is the internet. You only have to go to your search engine, pop in the name of the type of clothing that you want: be it something specific like 'Lyle & Scott jackets' or something a bit more general like 'summer jacket' and you will be presented with a list of websites all selling products you like with competitive prices, free shipping etc. Plus on some search engines you can filter your results into specifically shopping results which even allow you to rank them by price so you can immediately see your cheapest option. <br/><br/> Shopping for menswear online is always cheaper, unless you are shopping for designer menswear that is, as online shops have lower overheads and simple logistics operations and often focus a lot of their adverting budget online, which always tends to be cheaper than offline. This means they can pass their savings on to you and bring you quality established brands such as Penfield Clothing UK or the broad range of men's and women's APC clothing. <br/><br/> Wear Less <br/><br/> One final tip is just to wear fewer clothes. Have a proper look through your wardrobe and count the number of items you don't wear that often. You may just have forgotten about some of them and with a bit of inspiration you can easily incorporate them into your current ensembles, removing the need for you to buy any new clothes. Finding old clothes you had forgotten about is a bit like getting new clothes anyway. <br/><br/> Avoid the high street and save cash! <br/><br/> <br/><br/>
