Did you know women have an average of $1,000 to $2,500 of clothing sitting in their wardrobe? Even though this may seem high, it’s been reported 9% of women have more than $10,000 sitting in their closet! When you take into account just how many varieties of pumps, dresses, and cute tops you have that you probably aren’t even wearing, there’s certainly a way to decrease that number while increasing your style.
Affordable Graphic Tees Are in Style
As witnessed in 2017, graphic tees are making a comeback in a big way. This street style trend mixes brand iconography with elevated pieces to make for a low-key yet high-fashion look. They can be dressed down with distressed jeans or dressed up with a cute skirt or blazer for everyday. This is great news for anybody looking to save without sacrificing on style as the look is easy to replicate without breaking the bank. Old Navy, Missguided, and Forever 21 all offer cute graphic for under $10 that you can add as a staple to your wardrobe.
Oversized Earrings that You Can Mix With Anything
Oversized earrings will also be a staple in your wardrobe throughout the rest of this year. This look is so popular that Pinterest reported that saves for “structured, statement earrings” have grown by 947%. This trendy yet affordable item can transform your wardrobe as these types of earrings can be paired with a lot of clothing items. Mix them in with a cute sweater for a cozy, elegant fall look or add them to any floor-length dress to feel classy and confident all night long. Lightweight leather ones have specifically been big. The best part is you can get them in almost any color or pattern you’d like. Brighter colors are nice for accessorizing summer outfits while neutrals and jewel tones will work fall to winter and at around $20 a pair you can probably afford a couple of pairs!
Mom Jeans & Layers Are Actually Stylish
Mom jeans came back last year and are definitely still on trend. So don’t be afraid to break out your mom jeans this fall, or even the bulky oversized sweater. Both are back in style, which is great for savvy shoppers and fashionistas who want to stay on-trend as you likely have these in your closet already and won’t even have to head to the store to get these items. Transform your wardrobe simply by digging through your closet to look for items that you already have that have come back into style or repurposing/refashioning what you have.
Don’t Sacrifice Your Style
Being stylish and trendy doesn’t have to mean spending all your savings. It’s important to remember that being on-trend is really about what makes you feel confident while looking exactly how you want to look. Whether you’re rocking the oversized sweater with some large, structured earrings or simply pulling out those mom jeans and pairing them with statement socks, you can do it without paying the high price tag. Be sure to purchase items for your wardrobe that can be mixed and matched with other pieces to maximize the amount of use you’re getting out of each item.
