We’ve all been there, staring at a window shop wishing we could afford whatever outfit was on display in front of us. Unfortunately, sometimes it’s just never practical to buy that particular outfit. There are often more important things that people need to spend their money on likes bills or food.

Look Good on A budget

However, you might come to a point in your life where you need to buy a new suit for an important job interview or maybe you’re getting married. Sometimes you might need to spend a little more than you planned for.

I am a guy and I have no idea about women’s fashion. This article is only about men’s fashion.

When you’re on a budget, it’s somewhat difficult to spend money on expensive fashion items. If you’re struggling for end’s meet then you’re better off borrowing the dress or renting the dress for that big occasion.

If this is the case then it might be a good idea to spend some time and Compare insurance, credit cards, or personal loans in seconds to help you out if you’re on a budget.

But for this article, I’d assume you have some money to spend on the upcoming big occasion. Maybe for a few hours or a few days. There are a number of ways you can buy the best dress and least. Here’s how.

Consider all your options first

A lot of the time people always go with the first thing they find, rather than shopping around. If you know that you are on a budget, then it might be a good idea to take a picture of the first outfit that you love and then try and find a cheaper version elsewhere.

You can still look good on a budget and buying the most expensive outfit doesn’t necessarily mean that you will look good. Whatever event you are going to, you are dressing to impress.

So, it’s important to find the best outfit for yourself first. Don’t rush into these sorts of things. Take your time and you’ll be fine.

People watch

Seriously, spend time watching people. On television or the streets and malls. Watch people and see the trend. Watch what’s going well and what’s not. You can’t get a better idea about men’s fashion otherwise.

You can get some ideas on what’s in and what’s out in terms of fashion. Well-dressed persons are identifiable form distance and in a crowd.

When you watch people enough you’ll have some basic ideas on fashion sense, and let me spill the beans right here, some men do people watching too. Get out and watch for fashion and watch for trends.

Also, you can go to the clothing stores and spend hours going through the items and noting their prices. So a thorough homework before you fills your wardrobe.

Go shopping with your friends and ask for advice

The best thing that you can do when you go shopping is to take your friends with you. Ask them to be honest with you. They’ll be able to tell you exactly how good you look in the clothes that you try on.

If you are worried that they might be too harsh on you and knock your confidence, then just ask them to be nice.

They’re your friends, at the end of the day they’ll want what’s best for you. So, listen to what they say, and you’ll find the perfect outfit that you look great in.

Use coupons, vouchers, and credit card offers

I use ‘Retail me not’ app all the time, while I am on a shopping trip. When I like something, I search for this app for a store coupon. Most of the time I find them.

Do not buy because you have a coupon, rather find a coupon to buy what you have to buy anyway. This was you are only saving money rather than doing an impulse buy.

If you do not worry much about short-term credit score fluctuation, then you can also take advantage of the store credit card offer. Usually, when you have a big purchase at a large retail o departmental store, they’ll offer you a new store credit card. 

You can easily score a 10-25% discount on your total bill for signing up with a  store credit card. But, keep in mind to pay the entire bill off as soon as you can and before the payment is due on the card. You can forget about the card once you pay it up. You can go back to using your regular cards.

Wear your clothes with confidence

Being confident can often be the difference between a good outfit and a great one. If you are smiling and loving your life, then you’ll look ten times better than if you looked miserable. If you feel uncomfortable in an outfit, then there’s no point in wearing it.

Your body language will tell the whole world that you are unhappy. You’ll do a lot better by wearing your favorite outfit than wearing something new and uncomfortable.

Don’t feel pressured to buy whatever the latest trend is. If you don’t like the way you look in an outfit, then you won’t be wearing your clothes with confidence.

Learn to love the way you look, and you can look great in any outfit. Your clothes don’t have to be expensive or the latest fashion.

If you are happy with the way you look and can’t stop smiling, then you’ll great at anything. Even if it is on a budget. For more fashion ideas you can check out this article here.
