Thrifting for Clothes: Expectations Vs Reality
June 3, 2022
Thrifting for outfits and styling secondhand clothes are no longer a reflection of your low economic status but rather an indicator of your stance on sustainability and ethical fashion choices. But many people have unrealistic expectations regarding price, choices and variety when they go thrifting for the first time. When they find that the reality is far different from what they thought, the disappointment drives them away from thrift fashion and sustainable choices. Let’s see what to expect if you are a novice thrifter.
Know Your Wardrobe.
Assess your current wardrobe and find out what’s missing. That way you won’t be overwhelmed by the choices at the thrift store. Otherwise, you might be expecting to walk out within thirty minutes of going into a store while the reality is that you will end up getting distracted by the clothes for hours and end up buying nothing.
Be Patient.
Don’t expect to find great outfits on your first try. Building a sustainable yet fashionable wardrobe takes time and patience. You will have to be familiar with the time of the season when there is a good collection at the stores and be able to recognise good retro clothes and vintage t-shirts before you become a pro at thrifting. Trust the process and you can build a versatile wardrobe filled with classic Harley vintage t-shirts to retro hoodies, sweatshirts and even swimsuits.
Thrift Fashion ≠ Dirt Cheap Clothes
You have access to sustainable clothes at discounted prices through thrifting. But that doesn’t mean that the prices will always be extremely cheap. Prices are not always an indicator of quality or sustainability. So, inform yourself about the brand, and the seller and
respect the labour that goes behind upcycling.
At Fashion Rerun, you will find the best quality retro and vintage clothing that will up your thrifting game. Come and check out our collection.

Know Your Fashion: Difference Between Vintage and Retro clothing
May 28, 2022
A never before seen demand for vintage and retro clothing has been fuelling fashion trends on TikTok and Instagram for the past two years. Unlike Millennials, the new generation of Gen Z fashion enthusiasts are all about sustainable clothing and thrifting rather than consuming fast fashion every other season. But the popularity of second-hand clothes has also blurred the lines between vintage and retro fashion even though they are two completely different labels.
What is vintage clothing?
Vintage clothes are the evergreen staples in the wardrobe of fashion lovers around the globe. They are clothing that was made between 20 and 100 years ago and carry the distinct fashion markers of the period to which it belongs. For example, a dress from the 80s is most
likely to have the big puffed sleeve that was all the rage during that era. So, time is not the only factor that makes an outfit vintage but it is the defining fashion elements of that era. A classy vintage wardrobe can include everything from vintage dresses to vintage sweatshirts
and t-shirts as long as they carry the essence of their time period.
What is retro clothing?
Retro clothing is inspired by older designs that made a splash in the past. Retro clothes are ‘old’ in terms of their appearance or style rather than the material which is used to make them. You can look effortlessly stylish without the anxiety of causing damage to the outfit as it is not fragile. Levi Strauss, Calvin Klein, Adidas and Dickies are all popular brands among thrift lovers when it comes to retro fashion.
Fashion Rerun is the place to be if you are looking for unique vintage and retro pieces. Come and take a look at our collection!
