5 Reasons to Thrift Your Summer Fits in 2022

Summer ’22 is officially here, but is your wardrobe ready?

Getting your summer wardrobe together can be a stressful task. With TikTok and Instagram trends taking center stage, it can seem impossible finding clothes that are trendy, unique, and won’t break the bank.

Whether you’re looking to save a couple bucks or create a style that is special to you, the best thing you can do for your summer wardrobe is to check out a used clothing store. Second hand stores offer great deals on unique, retro clothing that is trendier than many new clothing lines. 

However, finding great pieces for your wardrobe can be hit or miss at most thrift stores. Vintage thrifting can be a mixed bag, especially if you’re just hopping from one Goodwill to another.

Fortunately, with curated, vintage thrift stores like Vibn Vintage, you can select pieces from world famous brands like Nike, Adidas, Champion and more. If you’re looking to make a splash at your next pool party with some wild and retro looks, you should consider thrifting this summer.

Save Money

For summer ’22, everyone is trying to figure out how to spend a little less on gas and a little more at the club. The biggest advantage to thrifting vintage clothes is the money you save. With thrifted clothes, the vast majority of vintage pieces are affordable, meaning you can get more looks for less. For instance, if you’re looking to get a thrifted team windbreaker, even the most sought-after vintage pieces will be cheaper than newer versions.

Making sure you’re going out with fresh fits each weekend can become very expensive. Shopping at thrift stores like Vibn Vintage allow you to have a large and varied wardrobe for a fraction of the price. If you’re looking to save more money for drinks and Ubers this summer, then shopping vintage is your best bet.

Enjoy Unique Clothing Options

There is no worse feeling than rolling up to your friend’s house and you’re both wearing the same outfit. In all honesty, when everyone shops at the same stores such as Urban Outfitters or Shein, these instances are all too common.

When thrifting for your summer wardrobe, you can basically guarantee that no one will be rocking the same clothes as you. Curated thrift stores like Vibn Vintage sort through thousands of clothes to find the most unique and interesting pieces that no one else will have. Buying vintage is a great way to find one-of-a-kind pieces and stand out this summer!

Save the Environment

One of the biggest contributors to climate change is the excessive manufacturing involved in the clothing industry. With fast-fashion brands like Forever21 and Shein becoming increasingly popular, climate change advocates are pushing people to buy thrifted clothes to lower the carbon impact of the clothing industry.

Shopping vintage is a great way for you to reduce your carbon footprint. Vintage clothes are often sent to landfills even if they’re in near-perfect condition. By buying vintage clothes, you bring new life to clothes and reduce the need for more clothing to be manufactured!

Finding One-Time Use Items

Thrift stores offer customers tons of unique options that are perfect for themed events like ugly sweater Christmas parties or 80’s Prom Night. Rather than buying something new and expensive, thrift stores offer plenty of cheap options that are usually more exciting and on-brand for theme parties and specialty events.

Create an Individual Style
