Side Hustle Ideas For Fashionistas!


Thanks to the accessibility of the internet, these days you can earn yourself some extra money without even leaving the house. Even if you don't want to give up your day job, it's well worth having a side hustle of some kind that can boost your income, and also help you to improve your skills. If you already have a genuine interest for something then it gives you a good starting point to go off, and if it's fashion you're passionate about then there are a number of options you could consider. Here are three side hustle ideas that allow you to earn money (from home, in your spare time!) and are likely to be of interest you.

Write a blog
Blogging has really taken off in recent years, and now it's widely accepted as a great way to earn money while improving your writing, photography and social networking skills. If you have a huge wardrobe and a love for clothes, why not start documenting your outfits? You could provide style advice, talk about clothing for different body shapes, put together celebrity inspired looks as well as outfits for all occasions. It will take time to get established as a blogger, most people are publishing regular content for a year or more before any paid opportunities come in. However, if you see it as a hobby at first and stick with it, in time it can be a fantastic way to earn some extra income. The great thing about starting a blog is it's cheap to do, you can purchase a domain to link to your blog for just a few pounds a year. And you can write about and photograph clothes you already own. 

Start your own clothing line
Maybe you've got a qualification in a fashion related subject, or you're a strong follower of fashion and know what people really want when it comes to clothes. If so, why not utilise your skills and start a clothing line? There are lots of companies out there who connect brands with clothing manufacturers, it could be a brilliant way to get creative and put your knowledge about trends, garments and different clothing styles to use. If you have a strong interest for fashion, chances are you're always thinking of ideas for different pieces, so why not put thoughts into action?

Buy and sell clothes
If you don't feel as though you have the knowledge to create new clothing items, one way you can still make money with fashion is simply by buying and selling. You could have your own website set up, or sell through an online marketplace like eBay or Amazon. You could find manufacturers or buy clothes from wholesale or end of line stores, or you could scour charity shops for vintage finds and sell them on. Either way, buying and selling for a profit is always a solid business idea and you still get to be involved in clothing. If you're going to do this, just make sure you have space at home to store your stock. You could use a spare bedroom, garage or an outbuilding to keep everything organised and in one place.
