An unsung hero of British affordable fashion in the humble supermarket. They often stock great work wear and active wear and at very reasonable price points. Additionally, many supermarkets stock nightwear and underwear in a variety of styles and usually have a wide selection of sizes.
You needn’t look further than a large British supermarket for a book pack of boxers or a bra. Primark have also upped their game in terms of quality and you can certainly find great socks, underwear and nightwear at a good price without comprising on quality. If you’re looking for cheap underwear but want something that lasts then Marks and Spencer’s is wonderful for essentials such as bras, socks and tights. They will be a slightly higher price point that Sainsbury’s or Primark but they will certainly last years.
If you’re a student looking for cheap deals on clothing, then Student Beans and NUS are just a few of the many places that offer codes from 10%, 20% and 50% off clothing, accessories and shoes.

Another way of buying clothes economically are the end of season sales, almost all high-street clothing brands have end of season sales and many reduce the original price point dramatically.
Get to them early enough and it’s likely the sales items will be in a selection of sizes. Although the clothes in end of season sales will be for the season that’s ending, if you shop smartly with next season in mind you can usually find shoes, dresses etc. that can be worn all season round. Shopping the end of the summer season is always a good idea if you’re planning on some winter sun.
