Buying second-hand is often better than new because you can often buy name brand clothing for way cheap. I started second-hand shopping in college because I was poor, but even when I had a good job I just couldn't give it up. I'd get a lot of compliments on my wardrobe, too.
The best thing you can do is live below your means. It is not difficult to do. Just resist mindless consumerism (and thrift store binges, too.)
