Swap designer clothes for thrift

A designer outfit or piece shows that you stay up to date with trends and your favourite designer but you don't necessarily slay. Designer apparel is also saturated with 'fakes' that anyone can get.
Styling thrift and non-designer articles of clothing is what sets you apart and makes your statement.
If you cannot forego designer and it fits your budget, wear only one designer article per outfit. Thrift clothes are divided into unique and cheap first class and second class clothes for all preferences.

Switch two-piece clothes
Swich two-piece outfits with other clothes. This means if you buy a matched outfit, you can wear the top with different pants or skirts, and the pants or skirt with different tops.

It is harder for neutral colour to suffer the same fate. They will be long lasting and you can style them with a wide range of colours and accessories.
