Refresh your wardrobe for less cash

With a little TLC, you can extend the life of your clothes and reduce the frequency of the expense.

Haircuts, waxing, shellacking, shoes, clothes, accessories, makeup and those monthly items we can’t live without. It all adds up to a cash splash, and that goes for guys as much as it does girls.

Indeed despite what you might think a recent survey found that young men can actually spend more than women on looking good.

The survey by Suncorp Insurance and published in the Daily Mail found that men in their 20s are spending more on clothes, shoes and personal care than their female counterparts.

The survey of 1,000 people across Australia found that males in their 20s will splash an average of $493 every month to look good, compared with females, who spend an average of $390 a month.

But with a little TLC, you can extend the life of your clothes and reduce the frequency of your expenses without getting anywhere near that $400 monthly amount.

Here are my top tips to refresh your wardrobe without spending more than $35 at your local supermarket.

As always, don’t forget to check the care instructions on your clothing before use. This is usually located in the back of the collar or waist or left hand side seam.
