Looking good does not have to mean breaking the bank. Even in 2025, when the prices of goods and services have risen, you can still look clean and classy for as little as GH¢100.

The saying “money does not buy class” holds, but knowing how to choose the right outfits will determine whether you look stylish or not.

1. Shop Smart – Thrifting is your best friend

If you are on a budget, thrifting is your go-to option. In Ghana, especially in Accra, affordable thrift markets can be found at Katamanto, Makola, Lapaz, or Kaneshie.

With less than GH¢50, you can find trendy shirts, blouses, T-shirts, jeans, skirts, or shorts.

Jackets or statement pieces can go for as low as GH¢30. The trick is to arrive at the market as early as possible, even at dawn, to grab the best items.

Bargaining is key, so sharpen your negotiation skills and learn how to spot vendors with the best deals.

2. Affordable footwear

Slippers, sandals, and second-hand sneakers or flats can be found for GH¢30–GH¢50. These are versatile and can be paired with different outfits.

3. Personal grooming matters

Your clothes are only part of the equation. Personal grooming can elevate your entire look without costing much. This includes getting a haircut, washing and styling your hair, and ensuring you smell fresh.

Iron your clothes and accessorise with items you already own, such as a bag, necklace, or scarf.
