It is no longer news that Nigeria is in a recession and most times, it means is that people get to buy less for more. Not good at all, right?<\/p>\n
One thing I am sure of is that, recession or not, Nigerians love to look good. You only need to go on Instagram to see the latest aso-ebi styles that are trending to confirm. If anything, our fashion industry is even growing faster than ever before. But I know that things are not always as they seem, and even when we want to look good, we have to be wise about spending.<\/p>\n
So these are 5 tips to help you stay fashionable without breaking a bank: 2. Considering Selling or Trading Clothes You Don’t Wear:<\/strong> If you have nice things you don\u2019t wear or use, consider selling them. That way, you make some extra cash to buy the clothes you really admire.<\/p>\n 3. Take a Friend along when Shopping:<\/strong> This is for those of use that have the tendency to overspend. Make sure you take a friend along that would keep you accountable. Be careful to ensure that this friend does not do the exact opposite (Lol!).<\/p>\n 4. Shop Off-Seasons:<\/strong> This may sound ironic, but a price surge usually happens when demand is greater than supply. So for example, a Red dress would be more expensive during Valentines season. Shopping off-seasons means you shop ahead of the season to avoid paying more due to high demand.<\/p>\n 5. Be Creative:<\/strong> Believe me, there are many creative ways to stay fashionable without poking holes in your pocket. Read fashion magazines, and try to recreate the styles there at a lesser cost. Repurpose your old clothes by bringing them to life with a little bit of DIY hacks. The good side to this is that you do not have to worry that someone else is wearing the same outfit as you.<\/p>\n 6. Shop Locally:<\/strong> This may be a good time to cut down on shopping at those international stores and ‘Buy Nigerian’ to keep costs lower.<\/p>\n SDL Fabz, how do you maintain a “slaying” look even in the recession?
