Hello Friends!
Clearly when it gets cooler outside we’re always searching for the perfect jacket you’ll hang onto for the season.
It’s a bit difficult when it comes to purchasing retail jackets that won’t run you for your money. Especially, the nicer jackets that will last a lifetime; those tend to get exponentially expensive.
Due to that I wanted to make a post dedicated to obtaining some great jackets and coats affordably. You’ll never go wrong with second-hand jackets hence how we find these low cost seasonal coats.
We’ll be going into the prices, my own finds and the best tricks to finding these lovely jackets to keep you comfortable during any season! Thrifting for your winter, spring or fall wardrobe will save you so much money and give you so much more inspiration for shopping sustainably.
I want to first begin with my own finds:
I’ve acquired all of these amazing pieces just by taking the time to truly dive deep into the multiple coat racks.
Each of these coats have zero flaws that I’ve noticed and have lasted me years. The splendid part of shopping second-hand is the fact most of my jackets are vintage and even one of a kind finds.
I pass up so many amazing jackets each time I enter the thrift store, there are endless possibilities, such a wide range of styles and they’re incredibly cheap. You’ll absolute in doubt find amazing jackets that represent you!
Each of the jackets I’ve shown above were under $15. Some were even as low as $5.99! Having found such amazing jackets for that low cost is reason enough to trust in second-hand!
Exhibiting my own jackets and coats gives you guys the clear insight that you can and absolutely will find some lovely pieces you love.
Pricing when it comes to smaller and larger coats:
I mention this due to the range of prices when it comes to certain jackets versus others. In full confidence they’re extremely low cost for such amazing pieces.
You can observe, there isn’t much of a difference in pricing which is the best part of shopping second-hand. A few dollar difference between trench coats and cropped jackets? I say that’s an opportunity you don’t want to miss out on.
Allowing you guys to see the honest prices, gives you more of a reach on what you’re actually paying for rather than retail which we don’t want to turn to.
There is no better place to find such affordability, especially with winter coats and jackets. The versatility within each coat can give a flexibility of so many different styles which I embrace.
Sharing all the possibilities when it comes to shopping second-hand gives you guys the opportunity to see the full intermittent details of how important it is to shop sustainably.
Wasting the insane amount of money on retail can really crack your bank, but when shopping cost affordably, that allows you to get your money back in a way. Not to mention, ensures you to fully express yourself on a budget.
Each of the prices listed above – of the incredibly beautiful coats – are so unbelievably cost affordable when it comes to this specific outerwear. You’ll never find better than these prices and the uniqueness of each.
Two main tips that 100% allow you to find greatness when shopping for coats would include:
1. Inspecting each item completely before making up your mind!
- What I mean by this, is making sure you’re thoroughly pulling out and examining the said jackets or coats.
- You want to ensure you’re looking at all the details and don’t miss out on that one prized piece due to you not fully inspecting the item.
Example: I’ve passed up some great pieces because I didn’t take the time to fully observe the clothing items. The silver lining behind this example, is I did in fact have one of my thrifting partners with me at the time, that picked up the item I didn’t fully examine. Due to them taking that time; they scored on that beautiful jacket -not me.
2. Identifying which jacket/coats you genuinely need for the seasons
- You should always keep in mind what or exactly which type of top coat you need when thrifting. Spending money on ginormous jackets you won’t ever touch because you live in a climate where that doesn’t pertain to you; is just a waste of your money.
- With that, I live out here in Southern California, I wouldn’t be thrifting for a Colorado winter if you understand where I’m going with that.
Example 1 : Typically if you live in a state that gets extravagantly cold during the fall-spring seasons, you’ll want to find the more heavy duty jackets and/or light weight coats so you can layer.
Example 2: If you reside in warmer climates you shouldn’t be purchasing the larger jackets, rather you’ll want to search for blazers or wind breakers per se. They’ll keep you warm but not too warm where you’re regretting your larger jacket choices.
In Conclusion:
When it comes to shopping for nice, sustainable and affordable seasonal jackets always turn to second-hand shopping! You’ll never go wrong with thrifted jackets, due to them lasting forever.
When shopping low cost for your items always make sure you’re fully examining those said items and ensure you have a mental note of the correct jackets/coats you need. We’re shopping affordably not ridiculously lol!
All in all I hope you guys found some new motivation and inspiration to shop at thrift stores for your seasonal jacket needs! Leave any comments below I’d love to hear any feedback!
