Sales drive bad purchases; only buy on sale if you'd buy at full price.

End-of-season clearance (January for winter, July for summer) = 50-70% off. Black Friday and post-Christmas for accessories and outerwear. Off-season opposite hemisphere: buy summer in winter, winter in summer. Subscribe to brand emails 2-3 weeks before purchasing — most brands send 'new customer' codes (15-30% off).

Take three measurements (chest, waist, hips for tops/bottoms; full body for dresses), compare to each brand's specific size chart. Read reviews specifically for fit notes ('runs small', 'order up').

Avoid trends past your 20s. Build a small wardrobe of pieces you love wearing — wear-cost (item price ÷ times worn) is the only real measure of value.
