    All the people I know who have just graduated college and have low incomes buy their clothes on sale, from thrift stores, or places like Wal-Mart. My family endured financial hardships while I was in college due to several factors including lack of jobs with sustainable income and massive downsizing of businesses in our area, resulting in layoffs. During that time I developed a passion for thrift shops. I find a lot of practically new expensive brand name clothing at these shops. Some of my friends also save up for special expensive items just because sometimes it feels good to own a couple pieces of fancy clothing. Plus, though I can’t speak for all brands, usually the more expensive brands have better craftsmanship and last longer, so you don’t have to buy as much clothing.
