You want to start shopping second hand clothes? Yay! Welcome to the best way to save money and reduce waste to landfill whilst still getting your retail therapy fix. Here are our three top tips for getting started with
second hand clothes shopping.
1. Know what you’re looking for and know how to search for it. Get specific, for example “red zara wool blend cardigan” instead of “red cardigan.”
2. Read the product information and check images carefully. Unclear images and ambiguous descriptions are a red flag! On our website you can find a condition category for each item. If the item has any signs of previous wear, this is detailed in our product descriptions. Learn more about our condition categories here.
3.
If you’re unsure about a second hand clothing item, ask questions. Contact the seller or retailer for more information about their quality control policies, returns policies and any additional information you need about a specific product.
By extending the life of a clothing item by just 9 months you could be reducing its carbon, energy and water footprint by up to 20%. We currently have enough clothes on earth to dress the next 8 generations, and
fast fashion manufacturers aren’t slowing down any time soon. Choosing second hand clothes over brand new prevents perfectly good unwanted clothing items ending up in landfill as well as saving you money. Unsure if second hand clothes are for you? Take a read of our blog where we weigh up the pros and cons of second hand.
When shopping second hand clothes online, what size fits you best may vary by brand. This is because of varying sizes by clothing manufacturers who aren’t required to meet a clothing size standard. The best way to ensure your second hand clothing purchase fits how you want it to, is to take your clothing measurements and compare them to our garment measurements provided for each clothing product. Use our measuring guide for assistance with taking the correct measurements.
