HAHA same here! Well, sortof. I went to my education, I was 22 at the time and I wore a long, white summerdress. Someone mentioned the thriftshop and someone said; 'Ahhww.eew...why would you go there?' I said; 'I mainly wear thrifted clothes...' and they looked at me and gasped and said; 'But you shouldn't, Emma! You look great in this, why would you settle for dirty clothes?!' And I said; 'This was 3 euro's in the thriftstore.' And they were quiet and didn't know what to say xD The conversation changed to something else, I seem to remember.

Before that age, I wore my mothers old shirts as a tunic, I wore boy's clothes (my mom's friend had a boy and a girl, she sold their clothes to us, I've walked around in shirts that said 'sailor' or 'I love dogs' even though I hated dogs) and I always wore socks in sandals, as to avoid blisters. Usually red socks in purple sandals. Not to mention, as a 9-year old, I wore lilac 'latex-look' boots in winter, because they were cheap and I lóved them and at the time, I had women's-size-feet and that was the only pair that wasn't boring. (Not to mention, my feet are currently a Dutch size 43, which is a men's size, so whichever 'feminine' shoe I fit properly, I have to buy, there are very few options xD

Thrifting to be trendy is better than supporting fast fashion to be trendy in my opinion. Both are cheap and convenient, but one is a lot more damaging.

Alyssa You’re making assumptions. Not everyone who thrifts is also contributing to fast fashion. Some people get their clothes mostly or entirely from thrift stores. And honestly, getting mad at people for thrifting at all is dumb. If they get good use out of the clothes and don’t just throw them away, I’m not going to judge someone for shopping at a thrift store.

adding onto what she said about thrifting being controversial, ‪coming from personal experience, there was a point in my families life where we only went to salvation army on wednesdays bc they were half off. that was our only option for clothing. ‪to be mad at innocent teens for shopping at goodwill for cheap trendy clothes is overboard. when ur poor, u don’t care what ur clothes look like. beggers can’t be choosers. ‪all we cared about was that our clothes were comfy and cheap. all throughout middle school my style (or lack there of) was all over the place. all of my clothes came from salvation army. but i didn’t mind because at least i had SOMETHING‬‬. now that we’re financially stable and can afford nicer clothes, i still go to thrift stores bc i know the layout, i know how to thrift, and i know that i don’t need to worry much about it being half off or not. there is absolutely nothing wrong with thrifting for the trends/aesthetic

I agree with this completely. I thrift because it’s more economical and way better for the environment. Why buy something new when you can give a used piece of clothing a new life? I encourage everyone to shop secondhand, regardless of wealth. To me, it makes no sense to tell anyone, “you have money, you must buy new.” That just seems counterproductive and wasteful.

Yes! I can’t bring myself to pay full price for things now that I’m an adult who could only afford thrift stores as a kid. Love thrifting.

So, my native country is a "third world country" and my mom started thrifting since I was 14, we couldn't afford to buy expensive clothes at the mall, but there were lots of thrift shops were we could find the actual same clothes, but affordable. I used to feel really ashamed to wear thrifted clothes, even when it was nice clothes or even brand new, when my friends ask where did I get it I got nervous and said "got it from internet". But later I realized lots of girls, even my best friend thrifted. Now a days is "cool to thrift" and its funny because when I find something nice I brag about how good it is and that I got from the thrift shop, almost all my wardrobe is thrifted and I feel proud about it. Hope someday I'll thrift at the US, you guys have good shops!!

Dude, Levi's just re-released a bunch of thier classic styles and I've FINALLY been able to find my favorite 512s at thrift stores! I wore the sh*t outa 512s in middle school and high school. I'm glad I can find them again in second hand stores because they aren't anywhere else! *lots of people in the States shop at second hand, charity, and thrift shops because we've actually had to, not just because it's trendy. I remember when Maclamore released that song and everyone loved it until we saw how many rich kids came down from the nice parts of town to go thrift shopping for fun instead of going to the mall. Many malls are now dead. And many people who could afford good, new clothes, don't buy them (and thusly don't donate them to thrift stores) because they'd rather thrift. It's actually made the pickings at thrift stores here slimmer 😖. I hope the wealthy start buying and donating more again.

Tbh i grew up poor so i lived on thrift stores and clearance aisles. When i was young i found out my bestfriend was making fun of me for buying my clothes at consignment shops. Years later in high school i learned to cut sew and reimagine clothes. I was known as the "thrift store queen" and that girl messaged me to see what thrift stores i went to since it was trendy.

When people who have more than enough money to shop elsewhere begin to pick up thrifting, stores start to realize this and raise prices substantially. I say if you want to do this as someone who has plenty of money, don't do it too often. More demand doesn't always create more supply ESPECIALLY if they are rarely buying stock themselves and instead getting donations, but more demand always equals higher prices which could make clothing no longer affordable to some people. Just my two cents!

The issue I've found with the increasing trendiness of thrifting is that all the thrift stores are increasing their prices crazily.

Not only are the prices raised, but since so many people go to the stores because it’s trendy, you can rarely find anything there. If you talk to people who are experienced in thrifting most of them will tell you that they actually drive out to smaller towns because those thrifts shops will have more finds.

Sometimes, if you've got a special occasion coming up, it's worth NOT buying a lot of cheap stuff and saving up $100 to buy the dress or coat or pair of shoes you love so much it makes you cry. There's also the rule of "cost per wear." If you spend $100 on a coat you wear 100 times, you've paid $1 per wear and that's well worth it, versus a sweater you bought for $10 that you originally thought was cute and then let it get lost in a pile of "meh" clothes, so that it ended up being $10 per wear.

Plus, finding a vintage piece of clothing that no one around me can have is pretty exciting! Thank you so much for doing these videos! You are an amazing person and I hope you're having a wonderful day

as someone who is poor and rely on second hand clothes, I actually receive a lot of me clothes from family and friends so thrifting has never really affected me. i don’t want to speak for everyone and i acknowledge my privilege.

Literally every time I shop, all I have is like Ashley narrating my thoughts on closing my head. Like “mix these textures “, “this could spice up an outfit”, and my personal favorite “ I could tuck this dress into a pair of loose jeans” . I love you ashley, you’re such a fashion icon in my life and really made me understand fashion and what i can do it with/how fun it is

Oh my god she just taught us how to rob houses-

This is an awesome strategy guide! I live in Portland, OR, and my problem here (Portland has a large population of green, recycling, outdoor-loving hipsters, for anybody who isn’t familiar with the city) is finding things before others do. Thrifting is so huge here, many goodwills and antique shops are picked clean daily 😩 Doesn’t stop me from going around thrift shopping very often! We do have a huge specialty shop called “House of Vintage” but I dislike going there, because they mark up prices SO steeply and the whole place just has that air of ‘better than you’ hipster.

I’ve literally only shopped at Thrift Stores my whole life and I’ll say I’m really excited about the cultural shift towards second hand. At least where I live it seems like there is plenty of good stuff for everyone and even if there is less for me to look through someday, maybe that will just make me more creative and adventurous, which is what I love about thrift stores anyway :)

Though we didn't thrift all our things and didn't really do it out of necessity it was still like a fun treasure hunt. Now I live in an expensive city and even though I don't "need to" thrift the majority of my wardrobe is second hand because I want to be able to save money for more important things like retirement, travel and a down payment on a house. Plus I like to be able to support local charities and give life to something that is already in the waste stream!

As a person who worked in a second hand shop this is such a fun video. 😊 I would definitely recommend returning to the same shops regularly, I'm not in a 'trendy' area at all but I have struck gold with some items. A lot depends on how you style the clothes. Think outside the box in that regard. Also try everything on, because there are some hidden flaws in a lot of second hand clothes. Also if you have the time charity shops always need volunteers, it's fun work, and you can keep an eye on the clothes coming in.

Wait same same same

When I was younger, I received the majority of my clothing as hand me downs or from thrift stores. I was always embarrassed that my clothes were older and not as "trendy" as my classmates. When thrifting became trendy it actually kind of validated me. It made me feel like the young version of myself would be so proud and happy to see clothing on other bodies that looked like my own clothes. I thrift now for more ecological rather than economical reasons but personally, I havent noticed a shortage or drop in quality because of the higher demand of second hand items. However, I would totally want to encourage others to be empathetic and understanding of why specifically "charity stores" exist and the population these thrift stores primarily serve. More privileged shoppers should work to serve the people that benefits most from thrift stores. I buy from thrift stores but I also donate useable items to ensure I'm feeding the cycle rather than taking from it.

i grew up feeling rich because my fam always made it a regular thing to shop for fast fashion clothing in regular downtown malls and have everything normal, and even then i used to feel afraid that my clothes looked thrifited because i didnt feel like i fit the clothes me and my family bought. exploring how much i actually cared about going the "eco friendly route" opened up my outlook on thrifting, and how thrifted clothes are a good thing makes me happy especially because i feel more happy about my thrifted clothes compared to most of the clothes i bought in fast fashion stores (and the rare lowkey bougie brand clothing i have in my overpacked closet) 🤍✨💛

One of my personal downfalls when i started thrifting was that i would get so tempted by the low prices that i would buy a lot of stuff that i didnt need and wasnt going to wear.

When I shop anywhere I tend to just run my hand down the rack to feel for the material I like. I definitely shop by texture first then color then style. Usually when people shop with me I'm normally done first because running my hand down each rack really speeds up the process.

The first point you make about the thrift store staff and hanging up the clothes is so true, my mum used to do volunteer work at Vinnies, a thrift store in Australia if you haven't heard of them and she always came home upset that people were not mindful of this, she's the reason I love thrifting and I always keep that in mind now.

Just a note from my experiences: The thrift stores I've gone to often have a rack for clothes that have been tried on- put the clothes there instead of putting it back; it's there for a reason! But thank you for this vid :) Thrifting is honestly the best and you have so many actually useful tips!!

PRO TIP FOR JEWELLERY: look for pieces where the clasp or lock metal is tarnished but the piece itself isn't (could be a little faded maybe), you'll know it's real gold/gold plated or sterling silver and it won't oxidize/change color on you 😌😌😌

re thrifting as a trendy thing, i work at a pretty big secondhand chain and our prices have definitely gone up bc of the rise of the "thrift aesthetic" ... like a cashmere sweater that used to be 3.99-5.99 is now 12.99-13.99, which leads to customers who need these items bc of economic hardship taking tags off and bringing it up as a "no tag" item, where it'll be marked up even further to punish them for taking the tag off/them getting kicked out of our store, depending on management that day. but yeah we've noticed the demographic shift and changed basically everything about our store's layout/ad strategy to make it appear subtly trendier/more expensive/etc.... so i'm kinda against the trending aesthetic bc i'm so close to the consequences. i grew up shopping at my store out of necessity too and used to get made fun of for wearing out of season/"grandma clothes" all thru elementary/middle/HS but now that i'm in college it's suddenly super fashionable... Etc etc etc. multifaceted issue... ethical consumption... yadayadayada but TLDR yeah thrift stores have actively noticed the change in who shops where and how much more money they have to spend and are raising prices bc of it Also PLEASE don't trash thrift stores lol thank you ashley for that dhskafshdjf ily

Also it’s likely stores are reacting to rise in expenses. Rent for the building is more expensive, pay for workers is more expensive, transport etc,, it depends on where you are and how you’re buying

the only reason why it's raising prices is because of corporate bigwigs

@Mark O to consider in your questioning: anecdotally, as someone who has been thrifting for necessity AND making proverbial lemonade out of that situation by styling the finds for almost two decades- it isn't just the actual price that makes me think the popularity is the culprit. In stores I have been in all over the country, spaces are starting to have "basic" prices of $1-8 AND "boutique" prices of $12-15 specifically on pieces that are trendy labels. A quality item that is NOT a trendy label might still be $3, but if it's "vintage levi' mom jeans?" that shit's $15 in most stores now. There are also many more people in thrift stores buying specifically for labels to resell in the stores, rather buying for themselves - if it's enough for me to notice the uptick, presumably a manager would also notice. These two points would tend to imply that prices are not rising overall because of increased costs, but in a targeted way related to popularity. Also to my mind, the fact that the rise in price so far outpaces the rise in expenses (above) seems to support that prices are being raised in response to something other than base expenses. Side note: because of what I just said, I also feel like if you aren't necessarily interested in trendy pieces, but you actually just need some clothing, you still have good options in a thrift store, though it is sort of a bummer that certain higher quality items are getting priced up these days. I can't buy coats in the thrift store overall, but I can still buy a great silk blouse for $3. I can't get the aforementioned mom jeans, but since I like a relaxed fit I can still get name-brand quality jeans for $5- if you walk away from the trend, you're still probably good. (which isn't the same as not being stylish if you know what you're doing ;) . ) So, thoughts. I hope you keep researching and I'll be curious what you find!

Dude me too, I kinda hate how people like Ashley who can afford new designer things choose to buy it cheaper but to me $15 is uh too much. There are some luxury vintage places where I wish they would go to instead. Please leave goodwill and cheap places alone if you can afford a $45 new skirt !!! Stay in your lane

i seemingly have a talent for thrifting jeans. i've found levi's for 5$ and plenty of other amazing jeans. i very rarely go into a thrift store and don't find jeans

this is the single most helpful thrifting video i’ve ever watched and you seem awesome so ily forever now

i think thrifting if u don’t necessarily need to is okay, but buying stuff really cheap and then reselling for something a super high price is just unethical

xenia anderson yeah of course, however thrift stores are specifically aimed at ppl with less income, and therefore less access to “literally every store” in the same way others do. so if someone with a comfortable amount of money comes in, buys a bunch of stuff (thus taking away someone with less money’s ability to buy that stuff for cheap) and resells it for a profit u could very easily agree they are taking away supply from others. plus thrift stores can’t replenish goods the same way others stores can, cause it’s all donations. i used to work at an op shop and it’s even worse then for ppl who are plus size maybe, as they already have less variety and have to compete with those who want to modify larger clothing to make it smaller. ur right it is how things work but like doesn’t mean it doesn’t suck for some ppl

I agree on some level but I think resellers usually sell things at a profit because a finder's fee, since they actually went in and sorted among a lot of stores/clothing to find that one cute product, and also they often make small repairs to the items.

That’s literally everyone on depop

As someone who works as a volunteer at a thrift store, the more you buy, the more we can put stuff out. It is not an issue of running out of clothing, we always have a ton of stuff to put out, it is good for demand and supply. And also most thrift stores have an Emergency Needs thing, so if you are in need of food, supplies etc, talk to a volunteer/manager about it, please don't be shy.

I'm boosting my confidence up, getting healthier, being more positive, learning new things, changing they way I dress TO ACTUALLY dress how i like, learning to control my anxiety, learning to love myself and see things positively. *after quarantine I'm gonna be a new person. Like, literally"*

At my local thrift store the money made goes to the homeless shelter and the soup kitchen, so in my community it actually helps the community to go thrifting!

Ashley THANK YOU for prioritizing retail workers - I love that you mentioned us right at the beginning of the video. It's totally true that not throwing clothes on the floor or keeping the clothing racks organized makes a WORLD of difference. A lot of people simply don't care about that so it made me really happy to hear you remind people to be considerate ❤️

@Maggie Casanova I think they're saying they actually tried to give people actual tips

as someone who's lower middle class i think it's important that lower income people get "right of way" in thrift shops since it's becoming trendier lately. low income people deserve to dress cute too, and unlike most thrifting influencers nowadays they don't HAVE other options. so overall i think thrifting is something that everybody should be allowed to do, i just don't think it should be monopolized by people who have the option to go somewhere else.

I’m an avid thrifter too and now I just really want us to go on a shopping date 😂 finally someone who gets that the music is important, and the time needs to be put in! I also scan the sides and only grab the colors and textures I like and I have favorite sections I check first. Thanks for putting out an actually USEFUL thrifting video!! I’m going to send it to my friends so they know what’s up when they say they want to thrift with me lol

I have never thrifted before, and I’m going thrifting on saturday. I’m soooo excited. Thanks for the tips!!!!
