This year has only just begun, and yet you are already feeling the shrinking of your budget. Recently, you had to give up golfing because the greens fees cost too much.
Fear not! There is an easy way to solve your dilemma without having to give up food or clothing. According to GQ and Esquire Magazine, men can dress fashionably without breaking the bank.
Get Discount Conscious
If you want to look good and save money, your best bet is to buy clothes that will outlast your current money problems. If the retailer you frequent features a clearance rack, you have just found your clothing oasis. Sure, the clothes on this particular rack might not fit your style or even come in your size, but it is simple and better for your budget to buy the cheaper clothes a size bigger and have someone handy with a needle take them in.
If you are on the lookout for business attire that looks good and doesn't cost you your left kidney, you can scour the racks at a discount men's clothing store. You won't believe the kinds of deals you can find if you look hard enough. Remember, you will want to purchase clothing that will last so that you aren't out shopping for new pants a month from now.
Cotton, wool, and other durable fabrics should be on the top of your DO buy list. Try to stay away from delicate materials like silk. Materials like silk will require dry cleaning.
Invest in jeans and shoes manufactured by older and reliable brands when it comes to casual wear. Levi and Nike are iconic brands known for their durability and longevity. Iconic brands may cost more. But they will save you a lot of money in the long run.
Make it Last
In these times of economic uncertainty, you can do more to save more. Buying clothes in simple fabrics like cotton, nylon, and wool will allow you to wear your clothes until they wear out completely.
For your clothes that require dry cleaning, purchase a home dry cleaning kit and keep them in garment bags. Hemming and patching holes by hand are ways to increase the life of your clothes. A man that is handy with a needle is a treasure.
