During the current economic climate and on going recession we are all having to rein in the purse strings a little more than ever and having to budget sensibly when it comes to deciding how to spend our money. Consequently, this means that some of us may be finding it harder to strike a balance between our love for designer fashion and desire to look good and having to make decisions about whether or not we really need to buy that designer shirt we want. However, despite us having to re-evaluate our attitudes towards wants and needs when it comes to clothes, we can still make our money go further than we think if we follow some simple guidance when it comes to maintaining a trendy wardrobe.

Our first top tip is to let go of your pride and ponder buying used. There are some great bargains to be had on line with some of the popular auction sites, such as ebay and where you can pick up some hardly worn designer items that are being thrown out by their owners. If you know your style and fit then stick to it. If an off the peg Jaeger suit is something that always fits you like a glove, then have a browse on line to see what is available for second hand prices. Another option is to try the charity shops, particularly those in the more bountiful parts of the country where the rich and wealthy throw out an old designer item that have hardly been worn and for no other reason than they are bored of it having only worn it twice. There is something inherently satisfying about buying such a bargain.

Coats, jeans and scarves are a good basic choice that with careful thought can be made to go a long way. Trousers are the focal point of any designer image and around which everything else is based and jeans in particularly are always in fashions in some form or another, be them drain pipe, stone washed or regular. Take time to browse the magazines to learn what is currently hot and what?s not in designer jeans.

Coats are a versatile way to add longevity to your wardrobe if paired correctly with your jeans. Go for a relatively neutral colour so that you can match the jacket to a variety of tops. Even better is to find a reversible coat so that you get two in one. There aren?t many of them about, but there are still some available. Another key point is to consider function over fashion as you are far more likely to get the use and wear out of a jacket if it is fit for purpose.

Scarves are an desirable way to accessorise any designer image and create much more versatility to your wardrobe, so long as it is matched correctly with both your jacket and jeans. Weather worn for warmth or look, they can add extra style to that neutral jacket and are available in a choice of colours and patterns.
