Inexpensive ways to dress in style

We all want to look fabulous, whether we're going for a punk rocker look, vintage, or just plain casual clothing that looks good. Yet being stylish can get expensive real quick. A quality pair of boots can run hundreds of dollars, to say nothing of high quality clothing.

Fortunately, you don't have to rack up credit card debt in order to have a nice outfit. There are ways you can get incredible, stylish clothing on the cheap. Here's how.

Check thrift stores

If you love brand name clothing, but don't love brand name pricing, checking thrift stores is a great place to start. You can find all your favorite brands and virtually unlimited styles at most thrift stores,and spend just a few bucks on them. As an added bonus, you'll be doing the planet a service by keeping that clothing out of landfill.

Keep it simple

Simple clothing often has the classiest look, Meghan Markle is often seen in relatively simple clothing, but the quality of her outfits make everything she wears seem to pop. You can choose simple outfits that are your mainstay, and then dress them up with accessories.

You can get ideas by looking at what models and celebrities with your body shape and skin tone are wearing, and looking for similar things that catch your fancy.

Buy less, but higher quality

Isn't it better to have 3 outfits you love and wear endlessly rather than a wardrobe packed with clothes and “nothing to wear?” Save your money for outfits you truly love and know you will wear every day,and leave that trendy piece on the rack. It'll be out of style in a week anyway.

Dressing in style doesn't have to be expensive, it simply means thinking carefully about the pieces you buy, and doing your best to find things you truly love, not just what the current style is.
