Hunting for thrift clothes is always a fun adventure, but certain items require a little bit of work before being worn. Before investing in second-hand clothes that need a DIY makeover, here are a few things you should keep in mind.

Too Much Work

Know right away how much time you’re willing to invest in flipping certain items. If the thrift clothes you stumbled upon require too much work, consider going with a less challenging project that won’t be so time-consuming.

Final Price

Some people like upcycling second-hand clothes because it’s a fun adventure, while others do it to save money. Unfortunately, putting a DIY twist on your thrift store finds doesn’t always come cheap. Try to do a calculation in your head on the spot, and if you think you’d spend more money than on a brand-new item—just leave it be.

Think Outside the Box

Finding a dress or a shirt at your favorite thrift store doesn’t necessarily mean you should transform it into a different dress or shirt. Some second-hand pieces of clothing are worth buying for the fabrics alone, and you can later use them to make pretty much anything.

If you’re a big fan of thrift shopping, you may be struggling a bit during lockdown to find a way to buy clothes that are both affordable and ethical. But don’t worry, there are still plenty of thrifting-like activities you can do without leaving the house. Here are just a few options to consider.

Depop

A peer-to-peer social shopping app, Depop lets you find used, secondhand, vintage, and homemade clothing from the comfort of… anywhere. It’s especially popular among some pretty hip and trendy millennials and Gen Zers, so it’s definitely possible to find really cute clothes and accessories.

Poshmark

A U.S.-based social commerce marketplace, Poshmark lets Americans buy and sell used clothes, shoes, and accessories. The shipping is a bit pricey, but it has a great search and an offer feature that makes it easy to bargain without any of the awkwardness.

ThredUp

An online thrift and consignment store, shopping on ThredUp is just like shopping on any other e-commerce website, but the items are secondhand. The best part is the search function, which lets you narrow down everything from brand to size to color, making it way easier to find what you’re looking for than in a traditional thrift store.

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.
