You can actually build a fashionable wardrobe on a budget. You would just need to know where to shop and where not to shop. Low cost clothing need not be of an inferior quality just because its cheap. There are many online clothing stores that specialize in selling low-cost garments that can be used and discarded without a second thought. Consumers, especially teenagers, love the concept.

You can find rainbow piles of sweaters, T-shirts and other pieces of outerwear which even cost less than a sandwich. But while shopping for these products, keep an eye out for the quality and always choose sustainable or organic clothing. This trend of using eco-friendly clothing is catching up real quick all over the world.

Consumers spend more than $1 trillion a year on clothing and textiles, an estimated one-third of that in Western Europe, another third in North America. A study reveals that in certain places, cheap and readily disposable clothes have displaced hand-me-downs as the mainstay of dressing in one or two generations. A behavioral change in consumer patterns is needed and this would in turn force even the most staid retailers to alter the way they do business.
