We often get bored with our clothes and feel a strong urge to redo our wardrobes now and then. Party outfits can usually wait, but our work wardrobe demands a makeover since we wear work clothes for most of the week. But changing an entire wardrobe in a short period involves heavy spending, especially if there are no offers at the stores at the time. But there are smart ways out of this problem. Here are six ways in which you can redo your wardrobe without investing heavily on it.
1. Try simple DIY techniques.
The best way to avoid unwanted expenses is to pep your old clothes up with some do-it-yourself (DIY) techniques. There are a variety of DIY tutorials available online that can transform your old, boring clothes into trendy and fashionable outfits. All you need is a pair of scissors, some cool accessories, video tutorials, your old clothes, and a little bit of time and effort.

2. Raid your friend’s closet.
We all have friends who buy more stuff than they need and later don’t use many of what they’ve bought. You can take raid their closet for new outfits for you to wear. If you don’t have such a friend, you can still raid your friend’s closet for stuff she doesn’t use anymore. A (clean) old dress from her closet can look really trendy if you can pull it off. Try it on and find out.

3. Shop when there are offers and discounts.
If you wish to upgrade your wardrobe without burning a hole in your pocket, keep an eye out for offers and discounts at stores near you. Your favorite brand may have a sale on, and you may not have a clue about it. This normally happens during festive seasons. Just keep your ears and eyes open for discounts and subscribe to your favorite brands’ newsletters to stay in the loop.

4. Sell what you don’t wear anymore.
An excellent way to buy new stuff without touching your savings account is making some bucks off the stuff you don’t wear anymore. Run through your wardrobe now and then, and make a list of all the outfits you either don’t wear or you don’t fit into. These old clothes can be sold online, and you can purchase brand new outfits with this money.

5. Go back to basics.
Besides trying to spruce up your wardrobe, try out simple, classic clothes that never get old. A casual black top with a pair of black skin-fit jeans, a casual denim shirt with a pair of torn boyfriend jeans, and a classic white top and a pair of blue jeans work wonders every time. These classic combinations never lose their charm. Make sure you invest in them.

6. Hunt for inexpensive accessories.
Your accessories play a large part in defining your style quotient. Even if you’re wearing a basic top or a casual t-shirt, the right set of accessories can pep your look up. If you invest more in these inexpensive accessories, you won’t have to spend on new clothes. Even a basic tee and jeans can come to life with the help of, say, funky neon earrings and an earthy neck piece.
