Everyone who has ever met me can agree- I spend way too much time at the thrift store. Whether it’s a trip to Goodwill or a local resale shop, I never truly know what I will come home with. And while this remains an absolute mystery, one thing is for certain- there are always thrift trends surfacing. With that being said, I’d like to provide a list of fashionable thrift trends you can look out for (and rock) this fall!
- Funky sweaters
-
You can not go wrong with a wacky patterned chunky sweater. There’s an automatic guarantee that you will be comfortable, warm, and stand out in a crowd. With a wide range of colors and styles of knitwear, they are one of my favorite things to thrift.
- Chunky boots/shoes
-
Whether it be vintage Dr. Marten’s or 90s Sketchers, I love chunky/platform boots or shoes! Thrifting shoes can be hard, but if you get your hands on a pair of these shoes that are your size, you struck gold!
- Patchwork
-
Thrift stores are a great place to find unique pieces. There is a lot of handmade items that find their way to the racks of second-hand stores. This means- patchwork! Whether someone put a patch over a hole in their jeans or specifically made an entire bag out of patches, these pieces are undeniably adorable and fall-festive!
- Baggy ’90s jeans
-
Baggy skater-style jeans are back and better than ever. These ’90s boyfriend style jeans can be dressed up with a stylish top and cute boots, or used as a casual outfit with a t-shirt and tennis shoes. Bonus if the jeans have fun patterns or have even been painted on!
- Slip Dresses
-
While slip dresses are lightweight and great for summertime, they are also great for layering! Throw a turtle neck on under and pair it with tights, boots, and a flannel and you have yourself a perfect fall look. Slip dresses have been around forever, so there are so many available to thrift! Whether you find yourself a cute lacey nightgown or even a cowl neck dress, it will become a staple in your closet!
Thrifting is a wonderful way to remain sustainable and fashionable without breaking the bank. At the end of the day, shop for what you feel most comfortable in! While I never know what I’ll come home with, every piece is guaranteed to be unique. So, don’t be afraid to express yourself through your one-of-a-kind find. Happy thrifting!
