]]> Coats and jackets are among the most expensive fashion pieces, so it’s not a shocker that many people head to thrift stores when looking for one. If you’re thinking of doing the same, here are three things you should pay extra attention to when looking for a second-hand coat or jacket.

Good Condition

All items you buy at thrift stores should be in good condition, but this is more important than ever when it comes to coats and jackets. Once you buy them, you’re going to wear them for years to come, so it’s crucial to find one that doesn’t have any signs of wear and tear, such as pilling and thinning areas.

Tiny Details

They say that “the devil is in the details” and this expression rings some truth when it comes to thrifted coats and jackets. Even if the item you’re buying looks pretty good at first glance, you should take some time to examine all the tiny details that might show signs of damage, such as zippers, buttons, and lining.

Extra Cleaning

If your second-hand coat or jacket can’t be washed in a regular washing machine, think twice before buying it. Some materials need extra care, so try to decide if paying for professional cleaning services is actually worth it before making a purchase.

]]> The cozy season is upon us and that means dusting off your winter wardrobe and rediscovering those chunky knits, chic coats, and woolen accessories that you haven’t seen since last winter. If you need a few extra cozy pieces, your local thrift store is a great place to start. Filled with hidden gems at reasonable prices, but also notoriously chaotic, thrift stores can make or break you. Here are our top tips for mastering the art of thrifting for winter warmers.

Check the Fabric First

The most important thing about winter clothing is the fabric. Wool and cashmere are going to keep you a lot warmer and last a lot longer than flimsy synthetics. Get to know these fabrics and be sure to check labels for the fabric composition. Soon enough, you’ll be able to pick out a cashmere sweater from a rack of acrylic just by touch.

Don’t Be Afraid to Size Up

Oversized is in, and bulky clothes leave more space for layering underneath. Check the racks in larger sizes or the men’s section for oversized pieces that will let you play with proportions and make a bold fashion statement.

Get Things Dry-Cleaned or Tailored

Thrifting is a whole lot cheaper than buying high-street pieces, which means you might have a little extra cash left over to play around with. If you find the perfect coat but it’s too long or a musty blazer that needs some TLC, consider getting them professionally tailored or cleaned. It will likely still work out cheaper than buying them new.
