I live nearby a bunch of swapmeets in la that consistently sell new mall brand overstock clothes and graphic tees from those hot topic/box lunch type places that I never have to resort to buying at thrift stores.

It wasn't even like this a few years ago, they're massively importing fast fashion garbage from china at an accelerating rate, far more than what they can sell at full price, i'm sure it would all end up in landfills if not for places like these.

I thrift and snipe full-time for a living, and ofc I have a personal collection of stuff, mostly vintage tees, football shirts, ACG, 90s sportswear, y2k one-of-a-kind pieces... right now I'm adding some cholo mid2k pieces in my fits, and to be honest I'm enjoying a lot to find discarded hypebeast stuff while thrifting, which almost didn't happen until this year

All my clothes are thrifted, I got a wardrobe worth atleast 10k and i payed a quarter for it. I would say 10-15% of what i bought is too damaged to be worn (beginner mistake), but experience made me pickup items that either have really nice vintage look, or look borderline new

After I graduated college at 24 I took my attorney brother's advice of buying collared shirts at Good Will and Walls. I only wear collared shirts now, button up style if casual and button down style if I wear a tie. There's a ton of button shirts now because of casualization in office work places.

It costs you 5 dollars for a shirt that forces you to think about how you will wear it and with what.

Button shirts are so versatile when it comes to fit. Too big? Wear it with a jacket. Not enough arm length for a suit jacket? You can still wear it with a vest too hot? Roll up the sleeves and unbotton it.

Do you mean the opposite? Button-down collars are more casual.

Thrifting is dead. Picked clean by resellers and the sheer volume of people thrifting now. Thrifting today means sifting through fast fashion from two years ago.
Upside is it's way easier to buy specific vintage pieces online.

Sad but true. Thrifting in the 2000s was glorious. Early 2010s was ok but reselling was growing rapidly and shitty fast fashion was starting to flood the racks. Now I still browse my local salvos once in a while but there's rarely anything worth buying, used to find a gem at least half the time.

If you were wealthy, why would you go there? They're places where you might find something in a niche or vintage style, but if you were wealthy, you could just afford to have any article of clothing in any style made for you just how you like it to your measurements.

Even past the upcharge and the resellers, curated vintage stores and curated flea markets are so much better to sift through then fucking goodwills and Salvation Army’s. Going through 10 racks of terrible npc clothes just to find one mediocre piece a day is excruciating. I’d much rather pay the upcharge and use that time for something more useful then go to a thrift store.

Thrift stores are only good for furniture. Found a nice mid century coffee table at savers for 65$ and found it again online for about $550
