5 Trends You Can Rock at Any Age (Budget Edition)


This is from a Youtuber I follow, Busbee Style who is a professional wardrobe consultant and she has a list of current trends that any age can "rock".

My style these days is mostly oversized and comfortable, but working on improving that.

For a more limited budget though, I will offer a few suggestions:

Jeans

  • Levi's jeans have a variety of styles and I have found them to be the most durable.
  • Thrift Stores on half-price sale days.  
  • Kohl's or JC Penney's when they have a sale and stacking with coupon codes.


Color Trends

  • Surprisingly, in Dollar General    While the selection is not vast, I don't think I have seen a piece over $15.  Most of it is comfortable and they even carry Bobbie Brooks brand (as made famous by John Cougar Mellencamp in his 1982 song "Jack and Diane".


Modern Motorcycle Jackets
  • Consignment Shops 
  • Macy's  with sale or coupon usually $40 and up 
Animal Prints

I do think you can go wrong with too much animal print:Photo: Source

This I think is specially if you are older, so I will limit this to:

  • Shoes - 6pm.com - they have pumps starting at $11.80.
  • Scarf  -  Ebay.com - While a lot of items that come up under the sort are not animal prints, the Auctions start as low as .01 and some include free shipping.
Sunglasses

If more for fashion and not out in the Sun all-day:
  • Dollar Tree - they have a variety of style during the Spring/Summer months.
  • DIY your Dollar Tree Sunglasses.  Below is a pair that I glued a chain using E6000 glue to the top several years back as a copycat of a Chanel pair that sold for $2,200.
