Hand-me-downs
For those who’ve got younger siblings or cousins, a classic way to let go of your clothes is by handing it to them. You can be thoughtful when it comes to choosing what you’ll be giving to which person since you don’t want them to end up looking like a hot mess when they’re going to school.
Post and sell
We’ve seen how influencers post their pre-loved items on secondary Instagram accounts, so why not get on it. too? Apart from making another account, Carousell or Facebook Marketplace is also an option if you want to widen your reach. Just make sure you’re pricing your clothes the right way before you do anything else.
Contact your go-to thrift store
Since we’ve got an abundance of in-store and online thrift stores, you can select the few you usually get from and give away your clothes to them. Talk to the owner and strike a deal or you can even just hand your clothes out of the goodness of your heart—you might want to check Le Studio Arkiv on Instagram to try this out. Either way, at least you’ll know that they’ll be used by someone else.
