Buying second hand clothes is a great way to save a lot of money and get some great vintage pieces that you might not get from newer stores. But when you’re buying second hand it’s easy to get carried away and buy loads of stuff just because it’s cheap. Then you’re left with a wardrobe full of outdated stuff that you’ll probably never wear. You need to know what you’re looking for and follow these simple rules when you’re buying second hand clothes to make sure you end up with things that you actually want and don’t end up wasting a load of money and cluttering up your wardrobe.

Know Where To Go
The most obvious place to pick up second hand clothes is at thrift stores because you can get some really cheap stuff, which is perfect for moms looking to update their wardrobe on a tight budget. But that’s not the only place you can pick up some great second hand clothes. You can also get some good stuff on auction sites like eBay. It’s not going to be quite as cheap as it would be from a thrift store but you’ll get a better choice of clothes. It’s also worth going to any local garage sales in the area or checking the local community websites as well.

Look For High End Clothes
People often think that buying second hand is all about getting lots of cheap clothes. That is one of the benefits but it’s also a great way of getting high end designer stuff at a discounted price. There are some great companies like The Fifth Collection that specialize in second hand designer clothes. All of that stuff is usually unaffordable but if you go second hand, it’s a lot more accessible.

Shop At The Right Time
Shopping at the right time is the best way to make sure that you’re getting a good choice. If you shop in the middle of a season, you probably won’t find much. But if you wait until the end of a season when people are clearing out their wardrobes to make space for next season, you’ll find a lot more good pieces. It does mean you’ll have to buy summer clothes for next year at the beginning of winter etc. but it’s worth planning ahead if you can get some great deals on amazing clothes.

Look For Quality
Just because you’re buying it cheap, that doesn’t mean you don’t need to worry about quality. If you buy poor quality, you’ll buy twice and you won’t actually be saving any money. But if you can get a great deal on some good quality clothing, you’ll be saving yourself quite a bit. If you’re looking for second hand clothes online, the best thing to do is search for shops and brands that you know are high quality and see what the prices are like.

If you use these simple tips when you’re shopping for second hand clothes, you can save yourself a lot of money and get some great clothes at the same time.
