We all want a better wardrobe, but when you're on a tight budget, especially if you're majorly transforming your look, it can be difficult to find the right items that are within your budget. And when you're trying to transition from men's to women's clothing, you might not know where to shop to get the best deals that also conform to your tastes. Here are a few tips to get you started on your journey to a wardrobe that suits you and your transition.
Focus on Quality, Not Quantity
You spent years accumulating your male clothing, and you'll probably spend several years accumulating your female clothing. It's best to find pieces that are made of high-quality materials. You should also be cautious about buying too many trendy pieces that will go out of style too quickly, and buying daily wear is going to be the most important. High-quality pieces can last for years or even decades, but if you buy low-quality pieces of clothing, they'll begin to show wear within a season. You can accumulate a couple of trendy pieces each season later, but you'll be glad that you invested in everyday items first.
Shop Clearance
When you're trying to transition your clothing to female things, shopping the clearance racks can save you a lot of money. Although you need clothing for this season, try looking at pieces from last season. If it's winter, most of the items on the clearance rack will be autumn pieces. You might even be able to wear some of these items in the spring, and you'll have plenty to wear when fall actually comes. In fact, there are many benefits and strategies for buying clearance items.
Buy Secondhand
Although it takes more time, and although you need to be careful not to buy items with defects, shopping at second-hand stores is a cost-effective way to fill up your closet while saving money. Many items of clothing even still have the tags on because someone received it as a gift but didn't like it or just has more clothes than what they can wear. Take the time to look over each piece of clothing, though, examining them for loose stitching, stains, and missing buttons. You can find some great things at second-hand stores, but you need to weed out a lot of slightly off clothing, too. Shopping for secondhand pieces is an acquired skill, but there are many tricks you can try to make it easier.
Transitioning your wardrobe should be one of the most fun parts of transitioning to a woman. If you're saving up for hormone therapy and surgery, saving money on your clothing will help you reach your goals faster.
