There is nothing quite like the feeling of having someone comment on your outfit or accessories and being able to rattle off the designer labels you’re wearing. Unfortunately for most us paying retail for these items means this doesn’t happen as often as we would like, but there are a number of ways you can get your hands on some designer labels and save hundreds of dollars in the process, without compromising on the compliments:

Online designer shopping. You probably already save money by shopping online for a range of other items, and you can now save on designer items online too. There are a number of shopping sites which you can become a member of, and then receive invitations to limited time discount events, and you can earn vouchers the more you shop with them. Just remember that if you are shopping to one of these deadlines, that you should be clear about what you want, and where you will be able to wear the items as there are usually no refunds. At the same time, you don’t have to battle the crowds of other bargain shoppers. Just make sure you do your research before signing up to a site, read reviews and ask friends about their experiences, as you want to make sure you really are getting value.

Know the original prices. Before you are going to save any money, you should know how much you are saving. Therefore, while you may see discounted prices and items and be shopping on discount websites you may not be saving all that much off of the regular retail price, so you could be splurging on what you think is a great deal, when you’re actually overspending.
Set yourself a budget. It is easy to get carried away when confronted with all of the sales stickers, so set yourself a budget before you arrive at the store or start shopping. In this way your designer bargains will remain bargains, and you will save yourself from spending more than you can afford.

Buy relevant items. Review your existing wardrobe before you start shopping and look at what you need, and which items you have which will go with new statement pieces. The idea is to mix and match your designer labels, so you don’t have to spend more on several complete designer outfits, but instead you can inject some designer label chic into your existing wardrobe and create dozens of new outfits.

Have a focus. Knowing what you are looking for will save you when you get to the checkout. Decide whether you want casual or formal clothes, whether you want items for winter or summer. This will help stop you from buying three different skirts or four different tops, because if you stick to your focus you will know which ones you really want and need the most, and don’t need to splurge on the extra costs.

Comparison shopping. The best way to save money when buying designer label clothing is the same tip as if you were buying anything else – shop around and compare the prices. Don’t just automatically buy items because they are discounted from their original recommended retail price, often you can find items which are discounted even further.

Op shops. Designer clothes can fall in and out of favour and as a result, there are many people who do have the money to buy at full retail price, and rotate their designer wardrobe items regularly. Therefore, they will often take their unwanted designer clothing items to op shops or consignment stores, so don’t disregard these as opportunities for a unique bargain. There are even online consignment stores you can search more easily.

More and more people are starting to wear personalised hoodies in day to day life. Usually, these are stereotypically associated with university students and sports teams. However here are ten tips for other ways to make your own hoodie that isn’t exclusive to a team or education institute.

School mascot

One way of representing your school is to get the name of your education institution on a hoodie with a picture of the emblem or mascot on there.

Picture of a super hero

Nothing stands out like a Superman badge or a picture of The Incredible Hulk. If you really wanted to live up to your childhood you could even zip up the hood to create a mask over your face.

A witty statement
