Join the high flyers. How can you look chic on the cheap

Join the high flyers. How can you look chic on the cheap? It's a real problem with inflation putting the bite on everyone, but second-hand shops can provide the answer if you're prepared to keep on looking. Hunt carefully and it's possible to put together an outfit or two that compare very favourably with contemporary fashion trends. Stylish American clothes are on sale - second-hand - in London at Flip stores, owned by Paul Wolfe and Alice Pollock. They import baseball and bowling shirts, fifties tuxedos and a mixture of camouflage and denim gear. Import costs amount to 50% of the ultimate price tag but Flip's owners try to keep charges down in the hope of increasing their turnover. For a brand-new bargain. The Sale Shop off Pimplico Road sells designer clothes at wholesale prices. They specialise in evening dresses and frocks. Suit yourself....Unisex flying suits from Flip, at £25 - £60 in navy of khaki. Suede skates at £59, hats at £2.50. August 1980 P017413
