5 tips to buy clothes online cheaply

By Roy

We understand you don’t like going to the store, trying to get ahead of all the people hunting for bargains. So how nice would it be if you could shop just as cost-effective from the couch? Luckily, this is perfectly possible! Even more; online you can save even more than when shopping in a store. Curious about how to achieve the most modest online receipt? We are happy to share five handy tips. Be sure to read on!

It can certainly be a challenge to shop online and actually come out cheap. After all, there are countless online stores, each with their own assortments and promotions. Fortunately, there are several tricks that will help you get a cheaper deal than if you were to order clothes from an online shop without any preparation, even if they are on sale. Here are our tips for you.

1. Comparison sites

How convenient would it be if you could filter all the clothes from a large number of online shops in a single overview by type, size, color, price and delivery time, among other things? Fortunately, you can! On a comparison site, such as Dressed.com, you can look up a type of clothing after which you will see at a glance what the offer is and at which shop you will get the cheapest price. This of course saves you a lot of research and you know for sure that you are paying the best price. Super handy!

2. Discount codes

Coupons, coupons! This relatively old-fashioned method of saving money (and creating more customer loyalty) has certainly stood the test of time. You've undoubtedly come across the digital version of this system many times: a discount code for your first purchase on a new account, a discount code in the newsletter, a discount code related to the season or a holiday, a discount code from an influencer; there are an awful lot of them! Often you will save at least 10% on a purchase. Do you already know you’re going to place an order at a specific web shop in a while, but you don't have an account yet or haven't signed up for the newsletter? Then check for a discount code for this and use it as soon as you start ordering. It also doesn't hurt to check in Google if there is a discount code available somewhere online for the web shop you want to order from.

3. Off-season sale

It's a tip you come across over and over again, yet it's not applied enough in practice. Often, people buy an expensive men's or women's coat only when it's already cold, paying full price. Somehow it is understandable; you only know what you are missing when you are confronted with it. However, looking further ahead will start to save you a lot in terms of clothing. After all, that same winter coat costs only a fraction of the price in the summer! Winter sales often start as early as December, when you can score the latest trends in hats, sweaters, boots and more for much less than a few weeks earlier. It works the same way with summer collections, whose prices drop as soon as the temperature does. Did you know that you can get up to 70% off on off-season items?

4. Black Friday

The Black Friday week, always at the end of November, came over from the United States and is ideal for Christmas shopping at a discount. But clothes often get a big discount as well, so park your shopping session until Black Friday week. In the previous tip, we talked about learning to look ahead to save on clothes. Is it time to order a new pair of women's pants and women's sweater, but Black Friday is coming up? Then wait until Black Friday week to order your new clothes at great discounts!

5. Second-hand clothing

It will not have escaped your notice: second-hand is totally hip. The sustainable nature of giving used items a new life is in keeping with the spirit of the times and clothing is also joining this trend. Popular apps like Vinted make it very easy to resell your own clothes online or to buy second-hand clothes for a fraction of the new price. You can find everything from women's clothes, to men's clothes to clothes for girls and boys on a weekly basis.
