Almost 90% of people used to complete seasonal shopping in the starting month so keep waiting until the majority has done theirs and merchants are happy with their start season’s high margins.
Then?
They are ready to offer you a good bargain (Already tagged or you can directly ask for bargain when visiting).
I noticed that there is no much difference in fashion & styles from one season to another, so I use to shop for winter & summer in the second half of the season on discounted prices.
You might have a $250 hoody for just $50. Although sometimes, I have to sacrifice a bit on variety & options it matters less when I am winning the best deal.
So,
I start my season with last season’s fresh discounted shopping. Just by adjusting my shopping cycle I save thousands of bucks every season, happily.

Averse Take: when you go for shopping late in the season, mostly good stuff is gone and you are left with limited choices of colors, styles, and sizes so waiting months to save 100 bucks and sacrificing the product of your choice is anything but not a better idea especially for a fashion picker
The second best time to buy fashion items is every long weekend holiday such as Black Friday, Presidents Day, Labor Day and July 4th. Shopping in January – after Christmas, will get you amazing prices.

WHEN IS THE BEST TIME TO BUY FASHION (H2)
For a frustration-free and savvy shopping, here we shared briefly some smart ways to follow through the process of smart, savvy, and pleasant shopping.
1. Wardrobe inspection, shopping list and budgeting
Wardrobes are an important place for fashion adopters specifically women. Savvy shoppers do regular scrutiny of their wardrobes to manage their closet.
It is the most important task before you go shopping whether regular shopping or discounted.
2. Market intelligence
When you try the first best time of late-season discounted shopping you should have information about the market, your selected merchants and the price range. Sometimes, merchants offer discount percentages on the prices higher than the regular to attract customers. So, it’s very important to be vigilant, do your search, check the market options and price ranges (I do it online checking different clothing stores sites) so that you can be in a position to assess the actual discount when late season and off-season sales are offered.
Select stores which are best for shopping of your required item categories – focus on specialized merchants to find good deals of options and bargain.
3. Eat full and wear complete
This is the third and last task at home to do before going to shop. Go shopping with a full stomach – it is proven as a preventive measure for excess shopping. Wears comfortable clothes and footwear – you may need to remove during checking new items.
6. Be selective to your style and size
Don’t buy anything that looks attractive at store shelf in terms of price or fashion. Be selective, focus on the item in your wish list, find items that you feel comfortable and click your mind. The second important thing is the size – always buy to fit your current size. Check the items wearing the undergarments you are planning to use with.
If there is a good deal with a slight size difference that you can fix at home, go for it. Different brand size charts may differ so you should know what exactly the brand size is. It is better to take your exact and current measurement with you.

7. Check reviews (online) and read instructions
If shopping online, it is easy to check the comments and reviews under each item to have a clear idea and on store must read instructions and tags to know more about the item. Inquire about the store policies for returns.
13. Consider other attached expenses
Other expenses may attach to an item such as taxes and shipping costs, so you must consider it before making the final purchase especially checking out online.
14. After you have made purchase
Try the item wearing with other matching items and check the fit and style at home. Read all the usage & washing instructions and follow them. Lastly, must keep all the bills and receipts with you because you may need them in the future.
