Are you overdue for an image makeover? Are your clothes looking tired and worn?
Overhauling your style can be expensive and time-consuming, and it can be hard to choose which clothes will suit you the most without trawling the high street.
If you want to have a makeover without the enormous price tag, look no further than these top tips for creating a stylish luxury look without the luxury price tag.
1. Upcycle Your Clothes
Upcycling is the work of the ultimate DIY fashion designer. Even if you have no fashion design experience, with a little practice, you could turn a pair of old Levi’s into the next statement pair of jeans and turn heads everywhere you walk. To do this, you could learn some basic sewing skills using YouTube tutorials and transform your threadbare knees with some brightly coloured patches. Many factories and clothingcompanies now offer offcuts of patterned fabric for a discounted price.
Whether you hand sew these patches, or use a sewing machine for a stronger and more regular stitch, you can transform your tired clothes for less every time.
2. Buy Pre-Loved Designer Items
If you want to upgrade your luxury wardrobe with some higher priced items, but don’t want to pay the full price, you can purchase your designer items through websites like Lux Central. Their trainers are lovingly restored, with an authenticity guarantee so you can rest assured that all items purchased are giving you the most value for money, with all the quality associated with top designer labels.
3. Use Secondhand Online Marketplaces
Online marketplaces like Vinted are the perfect place to snap up a bargain. The best times to shop are usually around Christmas, when unwanted gifts are listed for bargain prices. Many luxury items are snapped up quickly, but using Vinted’s save feature means you can keep track of your favourite items as they’re uploaded and purchase them quickly and efficiently.

You can also declutter your wardrobe and sell on any clothes that are no longer your vibe. By doing this, you can build a fund in Vinted to spend on new clothes for yourself or loved ones with minimal effort!
4. Rent Luxury Clothes
If you want to upgrade your style without paying a fortune and without compromising on wardrobe space, you can rent your clothes from companies who provide a hiring service.
Whether you’re looking for formal dresses, office wear or a more casual style, renting your wardrobe means you’ll always have fresh clothes to experiment with. This is great if you’re experimenting with a new style, or want to try something new but don’t want to commit to permanently owning brand new clothes.
5. Donate to Charity
If you fancy a big declutter of your old clothes, donating them to charity can help someone else find their new sense of style whilst also donating to a great cause.
Charities like the British Heart Foundation accept donations via post, through their high street branches and can even collect from your home. This is a convenient and environmentally friendly way to recycle your old clothes and allow them to have a new lease of life.
