When is it a good time to buy clothes?

According to a recent article in El Mundo, although clothing discounts are now distributed throughout the year, seasonal changes and sales periods are still especially important for those looking to buy clothing and accessories at the best price. However, there are a number of tips to keep in mind:

1. Make a list of clothes and stores to buy, and focus on basic, timeless, high-quality pieces that truly complement your wardrobe.

2. Subscribe to brand newsletters or apps to access promotions early and prepare your purchase in advance.

3. Shop ahead, including clothes for the next season or size if it's for children, to take advantage of low prices on clothes you won't wear right away.

4. Pay attention to the daily stock replenishment, which is usually in the morning, to find better availability of sizes.

5. Avoid impulse buying and focus on what you really need to avoid accumulating clothes you won't use.
