Looking to stretch your fashion funds?  Designers are giving you more bang for your buck with reversible items.

If you’ve noticed that there’s more items that are reversible these days, it’s not your imagination.  In response to the economic crunch, designers from high end – Diane von Furstenburg, Tory Burch, Max Azria – to more affordable retailers like Express or Gap imprint Athleta, have created double-sided items to give shoppers more options for less.  With so many fabulous options, multi-tasking reversibles aren’t just for toddlers or senior citizens – they’re for fashionistas, too.  Reversible items are even better if you’re jetting away for the weekend or a vacation – you’ll save packing space as well as money.

Some items to check out if you’d like to get more mileage out of your fashion dollars: striped knit blazer (above, at splendid.com), Tory Burch cherry print reversible tote (above), Express yellow reversible bikini (above).

Getting more for your money is just fashionably smart!
