I, like many of you, am ADDICTED to online shopping. Nothing makes my day better than getting a package of cute clothes delivered to my door. However, money is a little tight so I can’t always afford to be buying new pieces… and that’s where online thrift stores come in.

Online thrifting is one of the best kept secrets to scoring super cute brand-name clothes for cheap. You can also snag incredible vintage finds from the comfort of your own home.

I love online thrifting so much, I’m going to share the love and expose some of the best online thrift stores to find clothes second hand without leaving your house.

These apps work best when you have a specific piece in mind.

Sometimes it can be overwhelming when you don’t know what you’re looking for, but the search and filter functions help you to narrow items by brand, size, color, and condition in order to find exactly what you’re looking for.

ThredUp and Mercari

Similarly to Poshmark and Depop, ThredUp and Mercari are reseller apps for clothing items. These apps allow you to search items from a variety of brands and save your searches for later. 

Mercari is great for both selling and buying because it displays items that have already sold, so you know exactly how much money similar items will be selling for.

This is a great tool for sellers or for buyers who want to set a price point or splurge on a piece.

I highly recommend these apps for finding those rare items you’re searching for. They have a smaller customer base than the more popular Poshmark and Depop, which means you can find some hidden gems or some pieces that aren’t listed on other apps.

The goal of thrifting is to find the best pieces that no one else has claimed yet, and these apps are the best place to start!
