Who remembers having a wardrobe full of hand me downs as a child? I know I certainly do! I remember wearing clothes that had come from all imaginable places from my older cousins to the neighbour a few doors down the street. In fact I still own – and wear – a cardigan handed down to me from my mum about 20 years ago!
What was once the norm isn\u2019t quite as widespread nowadays, with many of us opting for a wardrobe full to the brim with brand new clothing and, in particular, fast fashion. But, of course, clothing an ever-growing family is an expensive task! So here are a few ideas of how you can keep the costs down and clothe your family on a budget.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
1. Pre-loved fashion<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nPre-loved fashion is making its way back into the mainstream with the rise in popularity of second hand selling sites. It\u2019s not hard to find a bargain or two on sites such as Vinted <\/a>and Depop<\/a>, as well as the more traditional places like eBay<\/a> or Facebook marketplace. While many of us will be looking to these sites to save ourselves a few pennies, there\u2019s the added benefit of being more environmentally friendly through this act of recycling. In particular, second hand selling sites are great for bundles of kids\u2019 clothing – a great alternative for brand new clothes which you know will soon be outgrown!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n2. Shop your wardrobe<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nOr perhaps you\u2019re like me and have a wardrobe full of clothes but wear the same few trusty outfits on repeat. If so, then maybe it\u2019s time to draw some inspiration from the contents of your closet. Dress up, create new outfits from items that you\u2019ve not worn in a while and reinvent your look without the need to hit the high street. Do this with your kids too, to get more use out of their garments. Your mini fashionistas will love to experiment with new outfits, showing off their creative side.
With summer drawing to a close, you might have been considering a shopping trip to get stocked up on the new autumn\/winter fashion trends. But first, think about layering up your summer wardrobe before packing it away for another year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
3. Create a capsule wardrobe<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nNot only is keeping up with the latest fashion trends expensive, but it requires more time to plan outfits and more space in your house. If it\u2019s not just the cost that you\u2019re looking to keep down then creating a capsule wardrobe for all members of your family may be the answer.
The idea of a capsule wardrobe is to have a relatively small collection of items of clothing and accessories that you can mix and match to create new outfits. Stick to mainly neutral colours and, if you fancy, a couple of more colourful or patterned items that suit your desired look. Adding or subtracting layers should ensure that your capsule wardrobe can be worn year-round. Pick timeless classics that never go out of fashion to really get the most out of your clothing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
