Streetwear on a Budget – Looking stylish without breaking the bank

Shaik Noushed / March 10, 2025

Be Fashionable While keeping Your Expenses Low You want to look cool even though your budget is tight? No worries! Streetwear looks great, but it’s way too expensive for many people. Not for us. I discovered how to wear fashionable clothes on a limited budget. Let’s get into it! 1. Discover amazing treasures at second-hand stores! You probably think back and wonder how that person found such a nice hoodie only for ₹500 and wonder how they did it! When you go to second hand stores, think like a treasure hunter and use intelligence to find your best finds. Instead of high-priced second hand clothes selling shops, find deals in local shops, big wholesale consignment stores, or online marketplaces like Instagram thrift stores, OLX, and Quikr. What to look for? Look for shirts with heavy cloth, tight seams, and unique names from the past. You have multiple ways to style something oversized: crop it down, layer it with other clothes, or confidently embrace the oversized trend. 2. Find great alternatives! Designer hoodies costing ₹60,000 are out of reach for many people. But guess what? You don’t need to! Several low-cost brands offer clothes that match the style of pricier options. Take a look at Zudio, H&M, and Max Fashion – they offer basic fashion pieces with a similar aesthetic. 3. DIY Your Own Cool Clothes Want to stand out? Make your own streetwear! It costs little money and has never been worn by anyone else. 4. Save on Sneakers All of us like new sneakers, but it hurts how expensive they are. Try cheaper versions of popular streetwear brands like Sparx, Campus, and HRX when you shop for good value. They find fashionable footwear that costs way less. You can find price cuts on branded sneakers at both factory outlet stores and online platforms like Flipkart and Myntra. Bonus tip: Even sneakers that aren’t costly can polish off your look, making it both neat and current. 5. Accessories change your clothes’ look powerfully Simple clothes look stunning when paired with the best accessories, which don’t need to cost a fortune! 6. Watch fashion trends, but keep your personal style in them. Your personality stays stylish even when styles change. Choose only the fashion styles that work well with your personality. Love baggy clothes? Keep wearing your favorite big shirts and pants. More into skater looks? Choose your favorite pair of jeans with holes and sneakers from Vans. Confidence makes the outfit! 7. Sell & Swap Clothes Here’s a smart move: Get money from old clothes and use it to shop for new ones! When you find old sneakers and other fashionable clothing in your closet, make money from them by listing them on OLX, using Instagram thrift pages, or selling them at local markets. Get something new to wear without spending money by trading clothes with your pals. 8. Confidence is the Real Flex When you’re uncomfortable in a fancy outfit, it ruins your appearance. Choose clothes that make you feel good and look great in. Combine second-hand finds with your basic, budget-friendly pieces and rock them like they’re from a designer show. At the end of the day, confidence is the best thing you can wear—and it’s free! No Comments Fit Check About the Author Shaik Noushed I’m Noushed.

Dopamine Dressing–Why Colors Matter

Dress For Your Mood If the Big Minimalist mafia has been making you feel down lately, don’t worry because Dopamine Dressing has got your back. What is dopamine dressing? It’s all about adding fun and personality to your wardrobe. It’s not a new concept, but it has been gaining renewed attention. With climate doomism and unstable politics of the world, one can feel like they can’t be happy. Good news, we have one thing in our control: the way we dress. Karen Pine, a renowned researcher in developmental psychology, believes, ‘Texture and style can boost mood as well as what we wear affects how we feel.’ Ditch the Gray and Black; add fun colors to your wardrobe that complement your vibrant personality! Who’s kicking it with Dopamine Dressing? Taking the time to learn color theory just to dress well sounds tedious, doesn’t it? So, if you want some inspo, here are a few fashionistas that are carrying the trend: How to hop on the trend From hip streetwear to Insta-worthy monochromes, the brighter, the better. Why it Matters Dopamine dressing trends have changed our perception of style and fashion. While a huge part of it is based on color theory, it is also about the freedom to express yourself with the way you look. Drag queens have been doing it since forever; it’s time we rethink our relationship with clothing as well. A common misconception about dopamine dressing is that bright colors should be involved. We’re here to tell you that it’s also about your comfort. You might have noticed that wearing a soft fabric or a dress that hugs you perfectly uplifts your mood instantly; that’s dopamine dressing. WHAT CTRL+Z SUGGESTS The most important thing about dopamine dressing is your opinion matters the most. It’s not about how you want to look for others or copying how Miss Rebecca’s style. It’s about how you feel when you dress for yourself. Go out of your comfort zone. Try new styles, mix and match patterns, seek colors that make you feel happy, and upcycle clothes that never felt like ‘you.’ It’s your game, and you are always winning!
