How to save while shopping for transitional pieces

Want to be kinder to your wallet as the seasons change? There are ways to shop your own closet if you’re not up for a full-on wardrobe refresh. Here are a few pro-approved tips to get you started:

• Look before you shop: “Delve into your own wardrobe first to see what trends you may already own and refresh your memory on some of those items that are way in the back of your closet,” celebrity wardrobe stylist Audrey Brianne said.
• Consider how long you’ll wear something before you buy it: “Step one is making sure you shop with purpose, duality and keeping in mind how clothes will keep up day to day with an on-the-go lifestyle. Durability is a huge part of transitioning your seasonal wardrobe,” Brianne advised.
• Don’t forget about thrift shopping: “Look into secondhand shopping platforms to score pre-worn pieces and save money,” Rakuten Retail & Shopping Expert Kristen Gall said.
