Where To Look For Affordable Designer Clothing

By Lila Bryant


Everyone who's ever opened a fashion magazine dreams of wearing clothes by top fashion brands. However, these clothes come at a very expensive price which most people can't afford. Luckily it's not that hard to find affordable designer clothing. You simply need to know where to look.

The people who can normally afford to spend thousands of dollars on a dress or a pair of jeans can be divided into two general categories. The first is the type of person who slavishly follows every trend and only wears the very latest ranges. This kind of person tends to be someone with no sense of style and can seem like someone with very little class who is desperate to impress. It's better to look as if you belong in the second category, which is the type of person who buys classic pieces that will last for many seasons and for whom the quality is more important than whether everyone can see the brand logo.

One of the easiest ways to afford expensive labels is to wait for the end-of-season sales. There are also sales during other times of the year, such as the beginning of January. Then stock up on classic items that you can wear next season too or even better, find basics that will work in summer as well as in winter.

Another good way to find great bargains is to look in second-hand stores. There are many online retailers that specialize in pre-owned designer clothes. Even charity shops sometimes have items that are still in great condition and will cost you only a couple of dollars. It does take some dedication to browse through these shops, though.

Wearing vintage designs is something that even the rich and famous do. Actresses who have famously worn vintage gowns when they received the Academy Award for their work include Julia Roberts, Reese Witherspoon and Penelope Cruz. Roberts had to ask a tailor to adjust her gown, a Valentino design from nine years earlier, so that it would fit perfectly. Her dress is still one of the most memorable in red-carpet history. Witherspoon's beaded Dior gown and Cruz's embroidered Balmain dress were both half a century old and first worn in the 1950s.

It's best to avoid fake designer items. Counterfeiting is a crime and supporting this industry is not very ethical. Besides, real fashionistas can spot a fake from a mile away.

Supporting only the famous couture houses is the sign of an unimaginative dresser. Instead, keep an eye out for the work of young designers. Their designs are often more striking and much less expensive.

It's also possible to look like you're wearing designer clothes even when you're not. Many retail stores sell items that were inspired by a couture design and you'd never know the difference unless you looked at the label. Then add brand-name accessories such as sunglasses, which are often among the more affordable pieces from a fashion house's collection.
