New Delhi: July 21, 2015: Craving for branded crop tops, skirts, dresses, tops, jumpsuits, shirts, shoes, bags, accessories and more to spruce up your wardrobe for college, but have limited pocket money? Online fashion stores are turning out to be a haven for youngsters, who log on for best bargains.

 

 

Portals like Jabong, Myntra, Fashionara, ShopClues, Koovs, FabAlley and LimeRoad, among a string of others, keep offering heavy discounts and luring offers, helping students to stock up their closets with trendy clothes at a lesser price.

"As a student, you more often than not live on a limited budget, and shopping online brings you convenience of choice, affordability, door step delivery and easy returns process. The college-going crowd is always on a lookout for what’s trendy and fashionable and these style edits definitely help make a quicker and smarter decision," said Praveen Sinha, managing director and co-founder, Jabong.com

"College life is probably one of the most important chapters in one’s life. Other than dreaming big and working for it, it is also the best time to show off one’s style," Carlton D’souza, stylist, Myntra said media.
