Some parents live with a teenager who makes them feel like he or she is a stylist in the making. Sure, they
have a good sense of style, but they also have a big interest in designer clothing. There’s not anything
wrong with that so long as their new pair of True Religion jeans don’t come at the expense of everyone
in the house going without electricity the next month! If you can relate, there are ways that you can save
money on brand name clothes. These are just a few.

Go When There’s a Sale. Only.

When it comes to finding designer clothes for teenagers, department stories like Nordstrom, Dillard’s
and Macy’s are pretty much sure things. However, just because you know where to locate the clothes, that
doesn’t always mean that you can afford the price tag that’s on them. That’s why it’s a good idea to get on
their mailing list for sales. Most department stores hold them pretty frequently and being patient until
you get that 30-50% off notice is well worth the wait.

Shop Online

Websites like Overstock.com and even Ebay.com specialize in selling designer items at a discounted price.
Stores with websites Marshalls and TJ Maxx do as well. There are even websites like 15DollarStore.com (it
means just what it says) that has some unbelievable finds. The smart thing about online shopping is that
they tend to offer exclusive deals for people who are ordering over the Internet. Don’t forget to check out

coupon sites like RetailMeNot.com for things like OldNavy.com promo codes. On average, they can save
you around another ten bucks.

Check for Sample Sales

A sample sale is basically a one or two day sale that features designer clothing at 50-70% off. The catch is
that they are only for those invited and the quantities tend to be very limited. Companies that host these
sales include Hautelook.com , RueLaLa.com and ILoveSampleSales.com. It’s pretty exclusive in the sense
that you usually have to be referred by a current member to get in on the deals, but there’s a great chance
that your teenager already knows of someone. Ask them to check around.

Clip Coupons

Coupons aren’t just for grocery shopping. When you go to your favorite designer store, don’t be afraid to
ask them if they have any flyers with discount deals on them. Also, there are loads of websites devoted
to nothing but coupons. CouponMountain.com can get you discounts on designer lines like Hollister.
CouponCabin.com will get you deals for Abercrombie and Fitch, Diesel and others. Dealigg.com features
coupons for stores that house designer clothes including Kohls and designer lines themselves including
bebe, Phat Farm, Guess and even Gucci.

Shop Seasonally. In Reverse.

Want to know one of the absolute best ways to save on designer clothes for your teenager? If you can
find a multi-vitamin and a Puritan Pride free shipping code, make sure to make the order because you’ll
need it! A great way to reward responsible money habits is by encouraging your teenager to save half of
their allowance or part-time job paycheck. Tell them if they do it, you’ll match it (maybe even with a bit
of a bonus) and twice a year, they can splurge on clothes. Here’s the thing, though. Tell them that winter
shopping must be done in the early spring and summer shopping must be done in the fall. Shopping
during seasonal clearances is a surefire way to get clothing and shoes with at least 40-50% off retail and a
wonderful opportunity for them to get much more than they bargained (pun intended) for!
