Lots of savings can be made on clothes. If you have children, you can save or spend a fortune on clothes. A thing to remember: designer label clothes are getting as muddy when you are playing football as cheap ones. What's more: your children can enjoy freedom of getting dirty when they know that you are not going to scold them for getting messy. Plus you will save yourself money by not ruining branded clothes. Unless you are a loaded celebrity, it makes no sense to dress the children in top gear. But it's my opinion, which you don't have to agree with
The same thing applies to grown-ups. Obviously, for office work you need to dress smartly, but you still don't have to go over the top. If you spend on clothes as if there was no tomorrow, don't be surprised when you see your credit card bill. And once you are sucked in by interest payments, you are losing money constantly. That's the beauty and ugliness of compound interest. It's always better to have it on your side than against you.
Anyway, it's the attitude to clothes that counts. Some people judge others by what they are wearing.
To be honest, I treasure my second-hand jumper most. It was given to me by my friend, who, even though she can afford to buy new things, purchases clothes from charity shops, simply because she wants to support them. It's pretty obvious I don't wear it everywhere, but the point I am trying to make is: don't buy clothes for the sake of buying. Fashion comes and goes. Debt on cards stays.
