It can be difficult to find ways to update your wardrobe when you’re on a budget. Sometimes, it just feels easier to keep wearing your old clothes rather than spending your small budget on clothes. That doesn’t have to be the case anymore, though! There are so many different ways to update your wardrobe without breaking the bank that you may not have thought of just yet!
1 Raid Your Friends’ Closets
Pick a day or two with your friends where you go through your own closets, decide what you don’t want anymore, and then shop each other’s closets. Maybe you’ve always loved something in your friend’s closet, or vice versa, and this is the perfect way to snag a little bit of each other’s style! This is one of my favorite ways to update your wardrobe, because you may finally be able to nab your friend’s dress you’ve been coveting for years!

4 Sell Your Unwanted Clothes
The Internet has done wonderful things for our wardrobes.

It’s the perfect option for the girl who wants designer clothes on a budget. You’ll find some of the trendiest brands for teens on these apps, and you’d be shocked at the variety!
5 Find Basics
If you’re really looking for a whole new wardrobe, invest in the basics that you can wear almost everyday. Sure, it can be tempting to buy trendy statement pieces, but in the long run, it’s cheaper to buy basics that you’ll want to wear for at least a few years!
6 Invest in Accessories
Accessories can change an entire look. Whether you go for a hat, scarf, necklace, or somewhere in between, jewelry and other accessories are perfect to spice up old outfits. Especially as the weather gets colder, scarves and hats are the perfect way to stay warm while creating a whole new look!
7 Go Shopping Regularly
A lot of times, people save up their clothes shopping for the beginning of each new season. Stores know that, hence “back to school” and “end of summer” sales. However, the more regularly you shop, the less you’ll spend in one big shopping expenditure at the beginning of each season! It may seem counterproductive, but it will stop you from binge shopping in the long run!
