Thrifting is a great way to bring new life to old clothes and to add items to your wardrobe without spending tons of money. Thrifting is a hunt as sometimes you’ll find amazing items and other times you’ll walk away with nothing. If you’re new to thrifting, here are some tips to keep in mind before your first trip.
Be Patient
There are tons of items to sift through at thrift stores so be patient, and set aside an afternoon to spend at your local store. Start with your favorite section and really look at the items as hidden gems may be hiding deep in the racks.
Shop in the Men’s Section
For the perfect mom jeans shop the men’s section as the woman’s section will be picked over, especially if you’re searching for Levis or Tommy Hilfigers. It’s also the place to shop oversized shirts and baggy sweaters.
Pick Up Basics
No one wants to dish out tons of money on basics like t-shirts and leggings and at thrift stores you can get them for dirt cheap. Make your own crop tops by buying regular shirts and cutting them when you get home.
Check Out the Accessories
Accessory trends are constantly changing and if you’re not sure if the trend speaks to you, buy it at the thrift store and try it out before spending tons of money for something that will sit in the back of your closet.
