If you’re a college or university student looking to save money, then there’s no exception when it comes to fashion. So, finding a good deal is a must, as is budgeting whatever’s left from your allowance. Now, if you think about it—being well-dressed can seem like an impossible (and expensive) task, but it doesn’t have to be.

Ahead, a rundown of shops at an SM mall near you running #aweSM sales this month. Available via the SM Malls Online app, these finds keep costs down but usage and style high.
