As someone who is cautious with my money, it is extremely difficult for me to justify spending a lot of money on a new shirt. But I really love new clothes. I want to be stylish. I want to be cool. So here are a few of my favorite places to buy used clothes so I can look fashionable but not hate myself for spending $70 on a pair of jeans.

1. Poshmark

This is by far my favorite place to find cheap clothes online. You can buy used clothes from people for way less than their original price. I usually bid down a lot less than the price people ask for originally as well because shipping isn’t included in their posted price, and my bid almost always gets accepted by the seller. But my favorite part of using the website is when the sellers include thank-you cards or wrap your clothes in a cute way. It’s like getting a Christmas gift in the mail which is hard for anyone not to love.

2. Thred-Up

-There are plenty of great brands on this website, and the first time using it you can get free shipping on your order. It can be difficult sometimes to find something I really like, but I like just checking up on the app when I am in the mood for some new clothes. And unlike Poshmark, you do not buy clothes from the individual sellers so the packaging is consistent and always very cute.

3. Yard Sales

-Some people hate yard sales because they think all they ever find is junk, but that’s usually because they don’t know how to go to yard sales. A couple of my favorite shirts have come from yard sales. And you cannot find clothes cheaper than you can at a yard sale. My recommendation for buying clothes at yard sales is to really look, and to go to a lot of yard sales at the beginning of a yard sale weekend because that is when you will find the best things in general and also, you are not guaranteed to find something you really love at every yard sale, so you need to be committed.

4. Thrift Stores/Plato’s Closet

-Depending on what you are looking for will really determine where you might want to shop for your clothes. Plato’s Closet is going to have the more popular and expensive brands you might be looking for and just a wider selection of things you might want to buy. Thrift stores are typically cheaper, but you might have to look a little harder to find something you want.
