Second hand clothes fucking suck. When stuff is actually good it gets scooped up full price at retail and NEVER makes it to the second hand market. People then wear that shit into the ground and hold onto it forever. There is an absurd amount of stuff you see come out on the runway, drop at retailers, and then it never ever shows up second hand. If you're seeing stuff show up second hand it's always because:1) It fits weird and has sizing issues.2) It's a weird colour or material that not that many people like.3) It didn't sell well and went to discount, then a poorfag bought it and now they need money.4) It's absolutely beat to shit.The stuff that sells out full price just doesn't turn up second hand. Poorfags can't afford it and the people who buy it don't need the money. I have watched this cycle play out countless times:1) Item goes to 80% off on SSENSE, and still no one buys it.2) A few months later it shows up on Yoox cause SSENSE sold it to them.3) Someone buys it on Yoox, it obviously doesn't work, that's why it went to 80% off, then it ends up on Grailed.The shit you see on Grailed is basically the worst junk that any brand produces. I still buy shit second hand sometimes but it's because I have weird and ultimately unprofitable taste and genuinely like a lot of stuff that's considered "failures" by the brands I'm into. But there's also A LOT of genuinely good, well regarded stuff, from brands I'm into and I CANNOT find it second hand no matter what.That's why 2k26 you gotta get your bread up. If you aren't copping full retail you are NOT getting the best shit from your favourite brands.
If you haven't taken the rep-pill and learned Mandarin then you're ngmi in 2026
>>18624432>wearing clothes made by illegal operations that don't follow any health oversights>similar chinese companies have made shit like baby formula and pharmaceuticals with lead in them>thinking rep clothing makers won't cut the same corners>putting shit like that right up against your skin, your bodies largest organholy fuck dude PLEASE be joking you are actually going to give yourself ball cancer if you keep this shit up>2k26>trusting chinese niggas with your reproductive health>ISHYGDDT
>>18624424Didn't read your post but is the outfit in your picture serious? Someone made that and put it on, thinking it would look cool? I wouldn't even put that on as a joke for like a costume party or whatever. Again, not being facetious, I am truly curious.
>>18624446it was a different time
Second-hand is for poors.
>>18624446first of all, go back and read my post so you won't get #ethered in 2k26, im trying to help you nigga.second of all, it's one of the hardest fits of all time. baixchen deleted his tumblr after posting it cause he knew he could never top it. he just shut it down on the highest note possible. after he dropped this fit like 80 different places all started making bootlegs of the original tee. when was the last time you saw someone post a fit and it resulted in an entire movement of product being created and sold?closest thing i can think of was rick in the IMA READ hat but that shouldn't even count cause rick was famous and bai was just a /fa/ nigga.
>>18624424this is a grailed/vinted/depop/online issuego to physical second hand and vintage store locations and this all goes away >>18624446you had to be there bro
>>18624504howd he go from niche fashion meme shit to becoming an actual famous meme
>>18624424Holy effortpost nerd
>>18624504>go to physical second hand and vintage store locations and this all goes awaylmfao no it doesn't, did you read anything i wrote. the best shit does not get thrown away or resold, period. whether online or inrl it doesn't happen. i'm telling you anon you NEED to get your bread up 2k26. im trying to help you out and you're burying your head in the sand. >>18624508>howd he go from niche fashion meme shit to becoming an actual famous memesame way any musician does, he continually dropped good music over and over again and didn't stop. it's sinple really.
nah, plenty of curated vintage and upscale secondhand places these days. quit hanging around at Goodwill and Grailed and get into an actual brick and mortar run by someone who knows their shitshopping secondhand is also a good way to get exposure to brands you'd never hear of otherwise
with the amount of clothes floating around in general, it's unethical buying new/retail because of how bad it is for the environment. more so if you buy the full inflated price for clothes from luxury brands that use illegal, underpaid sweatshop workers. you're pretty much kneeling like a good goy consoomer whenever you buy a full price item from an lvmh brand. total humiliation ritual.
>>18624432>learned MandarinNah, i'm not a Herbivore Men. I'm on the road to impregnate my second white women.
>>18624424>ssense>yoox>grailedWow an american with a stupid opinion dictated by his ignorance of how people live in a first world country! Color me shocked!>>18624433>you'll get testicular cancer if you buy things from chinaDo you know where a vast majority of everything you come into contact with on a daily basis comes from or your government's yearly budget for anti chinese propaganda?You can easily look up either.
>>18624704I been doing this twice as long as you have probably. You don't know what you're talking about. Actually read my post. The best shit doesn't make it to the second hand market EVER. Someone has to sell for something to end up there. People aren't selling the best shit that sells out full price. They buy it and wear it into the ground. You'll never see it in the type of store you're talking about. >>18624723Who the fuck said anything about LVMH? This rule applies to EVERY brand. Doesn't matter if you're into Gucci or the most obscure shit on the planet. The best stuff sells out at full price and never makes it to the second hand market. If you only buy second hand you are resigning yourself to only wearing second rate stuff, sorry but that's just reality.>it's unethical buying new/retail because of how bad it is for the environmentMaking clothes is one of the most low impact things for the environment. They also wear out and need to be replaced. The only reason fashion gets attacked with this eco-warrior shit is because it's an easy target. Someone can not buy a $1,500 shirt they could never afford and were never going to buy in the first place and tell people it's bad but they can't decouple from shit that's actually killing the planet. Go be a faggot somewhere else. >>18624744Dude not even Chinese people want to buy Chinese shit once they get rich they move to the west and would fucking never touch Chinese made baby formula or clothes. Enjoy your testicular cancer and infertility.
>>18624744>china starts making everything>cancer, autism, and infertility rates go up across the planetkill yourself chang
DNR too much effort for this shit bait
>>18625046its an extreme black pill i warned people and don't expect many to be mentally strong enough to accept it and respond
>>18624424maybe instead of buying hyped brands on grailed you should look for some quality items instead?you can find great knitwear from heritage brands for pennies second hand, stuff that costs hundreds of dollars new but doesn't have the resale value of an overhyped designer brandsame goes for things like tweed coats. it's not buying second hand that sucks, it's buing on Grailed and buying designer pieces second hand
>>18624424>Second hand clothes fucking suck.From what I'm reading you just suck at thrifting.>i tried to buy second hand clothes online and they were all overpriced or complete shit!!Are you retarded or something? You have to look in person. Go to a goodwill or something. Even the shitty millennial "thrift stores" that are run by resellers have better prices. Go to a goodwill, go to the men's section, find your size, and flip through everything there. If you want nice clothes at a cheap price, you have to put the work in to find them.I find quality clothes ALL THE TIME at regular thrift stores. No you aren't going to find fast fashion nig brands or chinese streetwear, but you can find quality dress clothes and vintage pieces from Lacoste, RL, Calvin Klein, and pretty much every department store brand, all at 10% MSRP. And a lot of them are older pieces, so they're actually quality before these companies got bought out and went to complete shit. Last weekend I found a fitted Brooks Brothers dress shirt that fits me perfectly in mint condition and it only cost me around $7.
>>18624424>NEVER makes it to the second hand market.go to an estate sale.
>>18628104thrifting is for larping fags who like to lie to themselves about what they found (which was also found in the donation bin) works well because muhrarity or fades/proportions done by some fat fuck
>>18628115it's just a clothes store that sells used clothes...I never care about "rarity" or anything, I care about the price and whether I like it. Don't seethe just because you're bad at it.
>>18628120and proof youre "good" at thrifting at thrift stores with cuck prices
>>18624424The best bet is someone like me who bought a ‘capsule wardrobe’ and then started lifting so all their clothes no longer fit. I don’t want to give them to charity because they’re too good for that
>>18624424>>18628196current consumers leans more towards local or travel curated shops or trade swap meet events outside of tiktok, shopify, insta, grailed, depop
>>18624424the key is freshness. a brand new jacket is just far fresher. another key is to be large in size. I cop regularly new items that are great looking but put on sale because of the large sizes dont sell in europe. but you are right about fits etc, buying fashion from ssense online is like rulette unless its a known brand u already own items of.
>>18624424>go to salvos>find G1 flight jacket >is now my go to jacket for any temps above 10CThank you Arizona flying club. No clue how your jacket got down to me in Sydney but i love it
>>18624424Good bait, but there's a kernel of truth in here.The primary exception is that notable stuff becomes so sought after that its 2nd-hand prices exceed retail, so it does eventually appear. >>18624504Physical second-hand stores are almost universally terrible. There are like a dozen curated secondhand stores worldwide that are actually good and run by people who aren't complete retards. >>18628104bait>>18628115It's true I have declined to buy things after finding out the previous owner was fat.
>>18624424Nice movie poster.
>>18624424don’t care didn’t ask still buying cheap used shit from mercari and yahoo auctions plus you’re brown
>>18624424Absolute skill issue. I picked up eight items just today at the thrift shop, shoutouts to Macklemore
Accidentally shit myself twice this morning idk
>>18636322Oh cool, me too.
