Discount Shopping

I’ll be the first to admit that I am a bargain hunter. Thrift stores, second hand shops and clearance racks are all on my list of favorite places to shop. But if you want to know the best place for discounts, do not head into your local department store - shy away from buying designer items at full price, and rather turn your attention towards discounted luxury fashion.

Most often, discounted luxury fashion will be found at a department store's outlet stores or in their clearance racks during the winter. But it is not only seasonal discounts for which you will find discounted luxury fashion - these stores also offer fantastic discounts on their entire stock of clothing and accessories, from dresses to handbags to shoes.

While there are a number of reasons for a department store to host an outlet store in the first place (selling at a reduced price to increase sales ahead of another shopping season, shifting focus away from some product lines and towards others, etc.), there is also the matter of offering customers a chance to purchase items that may not normally be available at that particular store.

This latter reason is one of the reasons that outlet stores have become more popular in recent years. As a result of a major push over the last few years, outlet stores have begun to garner increasing numbers of visitors, especially with the added convenience of having one or multiple stores in many tourist-friendly or major cities.

For example, a person travelling from place to place at certain times throughout the summer would not want to lug around heavy clothing and accessories with them - nor would they want to pay full price for anything they bought on their trip. Discovering an outlet store and picking up discounted luxury fashion allows this person to purchase items that are lightweight yet stylish, which are also about half price. The result? A lighter load and a bigger savings.

Another benefit of outlet stores is that they offer customers the opportunity to pick up items from a store's full range of products - rather than just carrying only a few items from one or two lines. Instead, outlet stores can be a great way to see what new and exciting fashion trends are being developed, as there will be plenty of new merchandise on offer all at once for shoppers to try on, purchase, and then return for possible future use.

Generally speaking, it is good practice when shopping at discount outlets (either an outlet store or clearance rack) to not just purchase what the salesperson recommends but also carefully examine the available merchandise. This is just common sense, of course - why would you buy a faux fur jacket that you would never normally wear, or a pair of shoes that are too large when they could be easily avoided? But this principle still applies when shopping at outlet stores: in particular, it is important to carefully examine the price tags on all items before making a purchase - because while available at full price, discounted luxury fashion may actually be overpriced. As such, it is also important to think about whether all discounted luxury fashion items are necessary.

In my experience, it is also good to keep in mind that there are some items that will never be discounted - or may only rarely be discounted. For example, a designer handbag that is made in small quantities will only rarely go on sale. The same can be said for clothing that is exclusive to a certain season, but it can also be applied to other clothing and accessory lines as well - especially when they are made by higher end brands.

While this may disappoint shoppers and prevent them from making a purchase with the savings they are seeking, it is important to remember why these items would not (or would rarely) go on sale: because of the high quality and exclusivity of the brand's products. In other words, the items (whether designer or not) will only be discounted because the company wants to encourage their customers to order more of their products and spend more money on them.

Ultimately, there are a number of reasons for discount and outlet shopping - whether for luxury fashion or other items - so simply put any questions you have in the comment section below. In particular, I would like to hear from people who know about similar experiences with shopping at outlet stores or discount outlets - I have always been interested in hearing about people's experiences when they search out discounted luxury fashion.

Near the end of this month, some of my friends and I are going to be attending a fashion show in New York City - where I will be seeing quite a few different designers and their lines first hand, including Carolina Herrera and Vivienne Tam. While I already have plenty of summer clothing (thanks to a very cheap shopping trip back in February), I can't wait to see what the newest fashion trends are - specifically those that are being shown at affordable prices.

Since the event is on Friday night, I know that I will need something appropriate to wear - which means trying to find discounted luxury fashion that is both stylish and flattering for me. If you have any suggestions for me, please leave a comment below with what you would recommend - and if you know of any outlet or discount stores where I can find discounted luxury fashion, I would also love to hear about those, as well (remember to look at the price tags first!).

Take care and see you soon! :)
