When To Shop For Deals On Clothes

Manifest What you Want, Whenever you Want....

As expensive as clothes sometimes are, they can also be fun to shop for; what's more, they can often be absolutely necessary to shop for. Even though you may enjoy buying nice clothes, you may not want to spend the money it costs; take heart, however, because there are certain times of year when you can get great deals on clothes! And actually, the times of year when you will find these sales might not be at all what you think!

In order to get good deals on clothes, the first thing you need to have is foresight. For instance, you can usually shop for clothes a year in advance, as old inventory needs to be sold in order to make room for new inventory. And if you think this means you will always be wearing "last year's styles," think again! Take khaki shorts, for instance; if you look at a story like the Gap, they sell khaki shorts every spring and summer, and each year these shorts look nearly identical to the shorts from the year before. Even though neither pair of shorts is more "in style" than the other, you can get one pair on sale if you shop when the store is making room for its fall clothes.

As for a store clearing out their inventory to make room for a new season, keep in mind that many of these stores - especially the ones in the mall with less storage space - operate on different "seasons" than everyone else. For instance, clothes for the spring often go on sale rather quickly, and winter clothes can get huge markdowns before the cold weather has even fully passed! Winter clothes might even be the best clothes of all to buy "out of season," as they go on sale quickly because of the amount of space they take up in a store. By the time it hits early-spring and the stores start selling their summer clothes, the winter clothes need to be sold at any price.

A final consideration to pay attention to is the holidays; you might think you have to wait until after holidays to get good deals, but actually, you can usually find good deals on both sides of the holidays.

Once you get into the habit of knowing what the "seasons" are for your favorite stores, you can start to get great clothes for a lot less money.
