How much do you pay per type of clothing?

Not gonna lie, I get a lot of stuff at reduced price. Usually I would go with the following...

Trainers/shoes: £25 maximum. There's always stuff like Nike and Adidas in the sales, and pretty much anything of those brands can be seen as 'acceptable' to an extent.

Bottoms (Jeans/Trousers): Below £10, branded or not.

Jackets, coats, and jumpers: £25 maximum. Usually branded stuff from the sales as this sort of thing from the likes of Primark aren't often good quality.

T Shirts or other sleeveless items (e.g. Polos, etc): Less than £10, branded or not.

Other sleeved items (sweaters, cardigans, knitted stuff): Around £10.

Undies last ages, but a few pound for them.

My jackets/jumpers/trainers usually come from online such as Jdsports or Sportsdirect. I usually use these to get more popular brands for the more noticeable outside layers, e.g. getting a £100 jacket reduced to £20.

Branding isn't really too noticeable for other stuff like jeans and t shirts so I often buy them from places like Primark or from the above online websites but from lesser known, cheaper, brand labels.

Oh, thanks :biggrin: :tongue:
I look around a lot before I commit to buying anything, eBay, Asos, Boohoo and Amazon have the best cheap clothing I've found. Asos Marketplace is a really good place to find any vintage gems that you might want. You can also buy reworked branded clothing such as Adidas, Nike and Ellesse at a fraction of the original store price.

Crop tops: no more than £5

Jeans: £20 tops. I try to shop around for jeans but it can be difficult (why are they so expensive?). Preferably I'd prefer to spend around £10 but it's not always easy.

Hoodies/jackets: £15-£25

Graphic t-shirts: £10

Shorts: I recently picked up 3 pairs of shorts from British Heart Foundation and it cost me less than £6!

Shoes: My MAJOR downfall. I will pay up to £100 for a pair of shoes.

Although I must say i'm curious why a 16 year old would want a suit let alone a relatively pricey one, don't y'all just roll in A&F these days or am i behind with the times :tongue:
