Do you buy clothes from secondhand/charity shops?

[Zippy]

I do!

where I live there's loads of good ones. Find some real quality clothes there for literally a few pounds. I found my fave pair of Diesel trainers in Oxfam for £9(almost good as new).

Some people are funny about wearing secondhand stuff. My best mate shudders at the thought. But I like to mix n match between secondhand/high street/designer. The great thing about charity shops is that you find original and cheap items that nobody else is likely to be wearing. Everytime I buy from places like H&M I always see others wearing it and it just puts me off wearing it again.

So yeah, charity shops are amazing.

Do you buy from secondhand shops?

[GypsyGoth]

Sometimes, so I guess that's a yes :D

[Stacey.]

No, I would never.

[Shaun]

It's probably the only thing I wouldn't buy from there...it's probably an irrational thing on my part, but whatever. I need to buy books and stuff from there more often.

[Zippy]

No, I would never.

there's a lot of brand new stuff there sometimes. Ive certainly given loads of good quality unworn clothes to Oxfam.

I had a clearout a few months ago. Then when I went into the store a week later it was like walking into my own huge closet; I could see all my stuff on the rails!

[Stu]

Yeah I'm fine with it. Washing machines are awful powerful. I feel fine wearing others clothes after they have been churned around in circles in alternating temperatures of water and suds for four hours.

[Zippy]

Some clothes actually look better well worn. :)

not underwear obviously

[Josy]

No, I dont, my sister does though and I hate going shopping with her because I end up having to wait outside the charity shop forever for her.

I did this once then realised I had given them something by accident so I had to buy it back.

[Lee.]

I don't, but don't really see a problem with it. I'm sure there's a lot of quality stuff that's hardly been worn.

I think I would be a bit icky about second hand shoes though..

you should have shoplifted it back!

I would :)

[Boothy]

I'd have felt like the biggest bastard on the planet robbing from a charity shop.

:nono: taking back whats yours

difference

[Niall]

I don't. D:

My Nan loves the charity shop though, like almost her entire wardrobe is from there. O_o

[Lewis.]

Nope.. It's hard to find stuff for a 16 year old male in there which is generally why..

[bettiepage]

yes.

[Zippy]

I don't. D:

yes those old people are a nuisance in there

they get so violent and aggressive when they sniff a bargain!

[Chuck]

I don't have enough patience to try finding one good piece of clothing mixed with loads of bad clothing. :L

[Niall]

LOL. My Nan isn't like that, she's lovely. :hugesmile:

[Zippy]

I feel like that about H&M.

[Stacey.]

LOL. My Nan isn't like that, she's lovely. :hugesmile:

:joker:

[Shaun]

I feel like that about H&M.

Agreed - H&M is awful :(

[Niall]

Agreed - H&M is awful :(

Primark is worse. You walk in there and everything is on the floor. D;

[Shaun]

-likes Primark :p-

I find the women's section to be messier than the men's. Which is annoying when I'm dressing for Friday night work. :/

[Zippy]

Primark is worse. You walk in there and everything is on the floor. D;

LOL. That place is even cheaper than Oxfam!

Niall shops at Primark, Niall shops at Primark!!!

[Twilight]

Nah, most of the time they only sell stuff that older people would wear.

[Niall]

LOL. That place is even cheaper than Oxfam!

Niall shops at Primark, Niall shops at Primark!!!

OMG NO I DON'T. :bawling: I wouldn't be caught dead in that sh!thole. D:

[Stacey.]

Primark just sells cheap ****. H&M's okay though.

[MTVN]

No I dont, I do sometimes go to Primark but only if I need clothes for a one-off occasion or something

[Zippy]

Wow only 3 votes for yes

you don't know the bargains youre missing, seriously. Cool vintage wear, designer labels, expensive leatherwear.....its all there!

oh well, more for me.

All the trendy supermodels and celebs sniff around charity shops to find original clothes. I stood next to Kylie in one about 5 years ago in the Kings road.

[Jordan.]

Nope, never. The second hand shop closest to me is full of granny **** and teddys.

+ This thread reminds me of the Little Britain episode in the charity shop 'Do you know if anyone died in these clothes' :L

if you actually look in an oxfam shop you'll find most clothes are for young guys not old men. They have lots of trendy designer stuff. I think many who don't go in them have a very outdated perception. I always see other young guys in there tbh. Lots of students and fashionista types. Think it depends which charity shop though. Some are small and crappy and do attract old people. But Oxfam do actually target a younger customer.
