In this economy, it's easily the most affordable and sustainable option to all of your fashion woes.

Many consumers also agree.

Secondhand fashion transactions were up 22% year over year in March with more Americans buying used clothes than ever.

I'll see you next time.

I'm talking about places like Depop, ThredUp, Poshmark, eBay, Vinted, and Mercari, where you can get excellent condition clothing, shoes, and bags for $20 or less.

If you're looking for designer pieces, there's alternatives like the Vestiaire Collective, the RealReal, and Grailed, which exclusively retail used luxury.

I've found great Giorgio Armani, Prada, Jill Sander, and Vivian Tam pieces on the RealReal for less than $50, which is literally cheaper than

than a plain tank top from Aritzia.

If you have a little bit more to spend, you can also consider local consignment shops or curated vintage stores, which have pre-curated selections of pieces, but the trade-off is that the deals are less jaw-dropping.
matched
Online, you can also cross-compare the retail price against the price on a second-hand market, and even check the prices between two different resale platforms, so you can guarantee you're saving the most amount of money to get that thing your heart desires.
matched
And don't sleep on shopping secondhand in your neighborhood either.
matched
That's usually where some of the greatest deals are.
matched
Check out Facebook Marketplace, Craigslist, or estate sales near you for the win-win scenario of buying something for a great deal and also getting the chance to snoop around your neighbor's houses and get to see what they look like.

One amazing story that I recently heard from one of my girlfriends.
matched
is that she went to an estate sale on the Upper East Side, and there was a woman who absolutely loved fashion, and she was just selling her pieces and wanted them to actually go to girls who would truly wear them, not try and flip them for more money.
matched
But my friend was able to get some really incredible designer pieces for very, very affordable prices.
matched
She is now absolutely rubbing it in our faces, and we are just begging her to take us to the next one.
matched
Usually at these local neighborhood sales, you can also negotiate the item prices to bring down the price into below your budget.
matched
Everyone wants to hate on a lowballer, but the whole point of Facebook Marketplace is to get a deal, and I'm not going to apologize for that.
matched
Anything goes.
