Get easy to pair clothes
The first tip to building your wardrobe is to make sure you have enough basics to serve a variety of different outfits. This means looking for clothes that are neutral, free of complicated patterns and easy to pair with other clothes. These include plain t-shirts with simple necklines in multiple colours, a pair of form-fitting blue jeans in your favourite cut, simple ballet flat shoes, a decent jacket or blazer in a dark colour and a pair of black pants.
Sell or swap with friends

Sell or swap with friends
Rather than giving away unwanted clothes or throwing them away, see if your friends are interested – then ask if there’s anything in their wardrobe they don’t want anymore. Swapping clothes with your friends can give new life to unloved pieces and help everyone pick out new pieces to freshen up their wardrobe.
Look for sales and clearance items
The best way to keep budgets low is to get your clothes from online clearance sales. Many fantastic pieces end up in these stores due to inability to move product, or sometimes because a store simply needs to make space for new goods, meaning you’ll find great pieces at low prices in these stores.
Browse thrift stores
Along with looking for sales and clearances, your clothes can also come from thrift stores. These places hold a unique mix of clothes donated by those who lost interest in them for a variety of reasons. Perfectly good clothing will end up here for outrageously low prices.
Get creative with combinations
The best way to keep your outfits fresh is to swap out small pieces or parts. This is why you want staples, and why you should build up a generous collection of accessories such as cardigans, scarves, belts and jewellery that can add flair and a sense of change to your outfits.
Thrift stores for corporate dresses.

DeleteSwapping clothes?
Delete@swag u was just going to say same....
DeleteCheck @slaythrift on Instagram and thank me later
Delete@swag isn’t thrift same as okrika here? Which people still purchase
DeleteApart from the swaps, not into that, this is really good advice
ReplyDeleteYes, before your clothes get taken to babalawo, lol.
DeleteHahahaha abi oooo
DeleteTell me this writer is writing from the States! This article is so old, please, write "copied"
ReplyDeleteIf you have clothes you no longer need, give them out.
Apart from the swaps, not into that, this is really good advice
ReplyDeleteThis is american write up! Where do they ever do meaningful clearance sale? Who buys cloths from friends? You want insults and gossip??
ReplyDeleteWhere is thrift stores in Nigeria??? Abi na okirika you mean??? Please let’s stop all this oyibo copy and paste articles.
Anyways here is my own list; Naija version;
1. Keep what you have clean and ironed.
2. Make sure you buy only what fits you, your body type, even if you have few let it fit well.
3. All black attires look expensive and if you’re outside throw in a sun shade...as long as it’s black and fits it looks rich.
4.make friends with the okorika bendown select seller so they will call you when they want to open bail, go early and select clean good stuff then invest in a cheap dry cleaner for the first wash or wash and iron them yourself.
5.Famz rich well dressed aunties and cousins, they will dash you stuff, greet them, show respect, run errands for them and generally kiss ass if you can.
6. Don’t buy too much okirika, you will end up having plenty cloths and no cloths
7. Always donate the ones you don’t wear to charity and younger ones, clearing out wardrobe opens up space for new items and givers never lack.
Okay I’ll come back with more.
Stella we can write better than these copy and paste craps you post sometimes, let me know I can send you good original contents that apply to Nigeria to make this blog better.

ReplyDeleteThanks but no be only sell or swap with friends. Will never be interested in that biko.
ReplyDeleteTo add; Cut and sew is in trend now. Look for a soji customer that always travel to aba to bring materials, go to select and look for a correct cheap tailor in ya area that will always give u d style of ya choice.
