Countless instagram pages dedicated to selling old clothes and accessories popped up during lockdown. Not only can you find great quality pieces for too-good-to-be-true prices, but buying secondhand is also environmentally sustainable.

Some secondhand businesses, like Resale Wave, even have physical stores so you can try out the clothes before purchasing.

What's more, thrifting is now known as one of the solutions to highly consumerist “fast fashion” industry of today.

Here are some tips to get the best out of your thrifting experience:

Tip 1: Bookmark

Bookmark the local thrift store pages. Or better yet, click the bell on the page to get notifications whenever they post. Quality clothes are low prices get sold quickly enough.

Tip 2: Thrift flip

Be willing to alter clothes to better fit you or make them more stylish and updated. In the community, this is called a thrift flip. Unlike mass-produced articles of clothing, thrift pages will feature only one piece in one size.

Tip 3: Contribute

Sell your preloved garments too and contribute to the thrifting culture. Whether you're looking to make some extra cash or simply clear your closet, putting your clothes in the thrifting circulation rather than throwing them away is the responsible thing to do.

Hunting for pre-loved treasures can be overwhelming. However, the rewards the challenges and there's a good chance you may walk away with unique threads for amazingly low prices.
