Whatever occasion you’re dressing for, the cost of buying a new outfit can quickly add up. And with the return of office working, weddings, parties, and cooler weather on the agenda over the next few months, it's likely you’ve got more than a few fresh items on your wishlist right now.

Before you start staring at your bank balance with an increasing sense of trepidation, allow us to let you in a little secret – if you know where to look, updating your wardrobe doesn’t have to cost a fortune, even if you want to shop the big name brands. There’s an online store that will help you to up your sartorial game for the season ahead without breaking the bank – the eBay brand outlet.

If you’ve only ever shopped eBay for second-hand fashion, it’s time to rethink all of your preconceived notions about what the site has to offer. Take another look at the listings and you’ll see the likes of high street favourites like Adidas, Birkenstock, Oliver Bonas, and River Island, alongside high-end options including LK Bennett and Whistles.

Each one offers a significant discount on the RRP of the items in stores, and that’s before you even get to the line-up of trusted third-party sellers, who have a strong supply of stock in various designer labels to widen your horizons even further. In fact, in total eBay’s brand outlet can offer you up to 70 per cent off 200 brands. We don’t know about you, but we may never need to shop IRL again.

To get you started on your eBay outlet journey, we’ve planned five outfits for a range of activities, from making sure all eyes are on you at your next party to dressing to impress at the office. Reap the savings now, and thank us later!

Wedding wonder

Whistles tropical flower silk dress: Was £299, now £86.65, Ebay.co.uk

(eBay)

The bold print of this Whistles dress will ensure that you stand out on the reception dance floor for all of the right reasons. It’s a statement piece, but the v-neckline, frilled hem and perfect length sleeves mean it’s also classic enough to recycle on holiday, for other more formal parties or even to the office under a blazer. For a wedding, though, we’d team it with neutral joupe mules from the Dune eBay outlet (Was £85, now £45.50, Ebay.co.uk) and a complementary clutch.

Workwear chic

Joules Agatha jersey blazer: £19.95, Ebay.co.uk

(eBay)

After a year spent in loungewear, there’s a curious enjoyment that comes with slipping something more structured, like a blazer, back on, and this one from Joules is the perfect port of call. The navy herringbone weave is timeless – layer it over a crisp white shirt like this number from the Vero Moda eBay outlet (Was £26, now £19, Ebay.co.uk) and your favourite high waisted trousers for a smart, stylish return to the office.

Party central

River Island womens black sweetheart neck jumpsuit: Was £38, now £10, Ebay.co.uk

(eBay)

A tenner for a totally on-trend sweetheart neckline jumpsuit? You can’t say fairer than that. What we love most about this River Island number (price tag aside) is its versatility – go for ultra-glam with gold jewellery, sky-high heels and a slick of red lipstick, or go laid back with sandals and simple accessories, and it’ll work just as well either way. This crossbody bag from the Dorothy Perkins eBay outlet (Was £16, now £9.99, Ebay.co.uk) will mean you can party hands-free, too.

Cosy cool

Oliver Bonas placement stripe sleeve pink jumper: Was £49.50, now £30, Ebay.co.uk

(eBay)

Oliver Bonas’s knitwear is always fun and eyecatching – but it’s not always as affordable as this! This new-with-tags stripy style is down almost £20 on its original price, and we say it’s a worthy investment – tuck it into a pair of Oliver Bonas blue denim wide leg culottes (was £57, now £20, Ebay.co.uk) and add a pair of chunky-soled white trainers from the Office eBay outlet (£56.99, Ebay.co.uk) for an outfit that’ll take you from the pub to the park effortlessly.

It’s a date

LK Bennett Lotte floral silk dress: Was £325, now £129, Ebay.co.uk

(eBay)

L.K. Bennett is a longstanding favourite of everyone from the Duchess of Cambridge to Holly Willoughby – we wonder if they know that they can bag a bargain or two from the brand on eBay? This pretty 100 per cent silk Lotte style is down a somewhat staggering £196 on the original price – we like the idea of it dressed up with a pair of the label’s Flossie court shoes (was £195, now £78, Ebay.co.uk) in coordinating red for an extra pop of colour, ideal for a date night look that’s as comfortable as it is chic.
