Despite the fact that stay-at-home orders across the country have no identified end date, many people have been shopping online for clothes to wear when the quarantine order is finally lifted. As prices for clothes keep rising, people have been looking for affordable alternatives.

Here are three affordable yet stylish brands that offer both wardrobe essentials and statement pieces.

1. ASOS:

ASOS is a British based brand that expanded its warehouses to the United States in 2018. Since the company only recently expanded to the U.S., most people have not heard about this brand. Their clothes are stylish and affordable with almost every design and clothing piece imaginable available on their website. While they do sell their own brand of clothes, they also sell clothes from popular European fashion labels and brands well known in the U.S. such as Nike and The North Face. Furthermore, with a dedicated outlet section on their website and frequent site-wide sales, ASOS is a solid choice for affordable online shopping for new clothes.

2. H&M:

H&M has always been a solid brand that has offered fashionable clothing pieces at an affordable price point. While H&M clothes can be hit and miss, their clothes have generally improved in quality, now with 100% cotton shirts and durable pants and other clothes. With summer fast approaching, H&M has a variety of clothes made out of linen (a fabric that many opt for during the summer since it keeps the body cool) at affordable prices. With competitive prices and fashionable styles, H&M is another solid choice for buying summer clothes in bulk.

3. Nordstrom:

While Nordstrom is usually associated with more expensive items, the stay-at-home order has resulted in the company offering a large site-wide sale to drive business. Sales up to 60% off have been placed on items ranging from shoes to clothes and accessories. With such a massive sale on merchandise, there are plenty of high quality, fashionable clothes available: all at a reasonable price point and perfect for a summer haul.
