Winter is here again and aside from the cold weather, it also means it’s once again time to revamp your wardrobe and take out clothes from seasons past to make way for winter appropriate ones. To some girls, revamping the wardrobe can mean a winter shopping spree but to those who would rather save the money and spend it on something else, there are lots of ways to still look stylish this winter, even when you’re on a budget. Below are some of the best budget winter fashion ideas that you can use if you don’t want to splurge a fortune on tons of new clothes and winter accessories this year. Read on and see how you can remain fab while on a budget:

• Invest in a good coat – a coat is very versatile. You can use it to dress up an ordinary outfit and it’s also a great accompaniment to formal ensembles. It’s also a great piece that keeps you warm without sacrificing looking chic. There are a lot of coats out there but if you’re on a budget, it would be advisable to get one with really good quality. Never mind the splurge; you will be able to use it for years to come. It would also be nice if you could get one in a neutral color so it can go with any outfit you choose to wear.

• Use staples from last year – there’s a reason why winter staples are called so and that is because they are meant to be a part of your closet every winter. While it would be nice to buy new winter staples every year, reusing the ones that you had last year is way more practical. Don’t worry about these pieces going out of style, they’ve been around much longer than you and I have been and will continue to be for a very long time.

• Upcycle and DIY – if you’ve accumulated a number of winter clothes throughout the years, some of them may no longer look updated. Don’t throw those away just yet! What you can do with winter ensembles that have gone out of style is to upcycle them or use them for a DIY project.

• Knit your own pieces – this is a huge penny saver for those who know how to knit and crochet. If you;ve got the skills, why not knit your own accessories like scarves and beanies? You can make them and personalize them according to your liking and it can keep boredom at bay. It’s also very inexpensive and you can even knit some for your friends and sell it to them.

• Invest in biker boots – biker boots are perfect for walking through piles and piles of snow during winter because they’re very warm and durable. If you haven’t already got one, go out and buy yourself a nice pair of biker boots. These will surely last you several years and you don’t even need to bother about maintaining them too much because they’re even better when they look beat up.
