Thrifting can have such a negative connotation like it's "dirty" and "used" but some of my favorite clothes have been from thrift stores! Here are some reasons to start thrifting, if you don't already.
1. Everything's discounted
A big part of going thrifting is to find discounted clothes and accessories. Anything you find is gonna be marked down from it's original price even if it was never worn- some items may come new with tags. My best find was in Goodwill, I found a brand new Fitbit (which is usually 60-100 dollars) for 8 dollars.
2. You can recreate your style
Do you ever feel like your style is too mainstream? Thrift stores completely solve this problem! Most of the time these stores only have one of each item so it's gonna be nearly impossible to run into someone wearing the same clothes as you. You can be more easily tempted to buy something that you wouldn't usually wear since everything is so cheap.
3. The clothes are constantly changing
Clothes are constantly being sold and donated so you never know what you're going to find when you walk into the store but that's part of the fun. Thrift stores require more of your time than other stores because you have to sort through several racks before finding something you actually like but it's totally worth it.
4. You can find the best vintage items
When an item is vintage, there's even more reason to buy it. Many clothes come back into style from decades ago and thrift stores are the easiest way to find these times. A vintage item is always fun to throw into your wardrobe to break out from your usual style.
5. The money you save can be spent on something else
If you were to buy all your clothes from only thrift stores, you're going to save yourself some money. The money you save can be spent on something else or saved up for a rainy day.
6. You can find unique gifts
Most thrift stores have an antiques section which are always fun to browse through. It can be easy to find a gift in this section that you won't find in the average store.
These are just 6 reasons to start thrifting, there are several more! The main reason to try thrifting is because it's fun!
