Destinations like Ibiza and Marbella have been popular for years. However, with the increasing pressure to look Instagram ready at all times, people are more determined to look good on holiday than ever before. Locations such as these are not only welcoming thousands of visitors every year, but killer poolside outfits.
Don't wait for the sales to come to you
It’s recently been found that the average woman spends £245 on holiday clothes, contributing to a third of the overall cost of the getaway. However, while many women want to feel their best on holiday and it’s always nice to have new clothes, splashing out to this extent is not realistic.
Fortunately, there are ways of buying designer or looking good for less. The money saving experts at PIWoP, a price drop alert tool, understand the pressure upon many girls to buy into all the latest trends for their next holiday. They have offered 4 tips on how to fill your suitcase for less this summer:
Choose a few versatile pieces that you love So you need a new bikini or two and a dress you can wear straight from the beach to the bar. Choose versatile pieces that can be used more than once or can be dressed up or down with other items. Rather than overspending on a different outfit for every day, find affordable accessories that can transform an outfit. Spent a little more than usual on a bikini or maxi dress? Change up your look each day with a cheaper pair of sunglasses, sandals or bag to compliment them.
Don’t wait for the sales to come to you Inboxes can become flooded with emails about upcoming sales, but they can still be easy to miss or ill-timed. Tools like PIWoP allow users who have the tool installed on their computer, tablet or phone to setup lists for items they have their eye on and the price they want to pay for them. The tool then alerts them if that item does go to or more likely below their PIWoP (Price I Want to Pay). Keeping track of shopping bargains by utilising technology will ensure as soon as a price drop occurs, you’ll be the first to know. As soon as you book your holiday, you can simply find some items of clothing that you want and wait for them to come down in price.
Visit an outlet Outlets across the country welcome thousands of visitors a year who enjoy designer brands but want them at a lower price. So, if you can’t get that pair of sunglasses out of your mind but can’t justify paying full price for them, see what outlet shopping centres have on offer before committing to anything.
Think about what you really need There’ll be some items you’ll definitely need for a holiday in a warmer climate and if you’ll be going out a lot, it’s likely you’ll want a couple of new outfits. However, one quick way to pack your suitcase for less is to resist buying anything that you don’t really need. You’ll not only have some money left over for the actual holiday itself, but you’ll avoid packing a suitcase full of clothes and realising you only wore a few items.
