Is Depop the New Thrifting?

By: Kamilyah McMiller

Upcycled fashion and saving our Mother Earth is in! Depop has been constantly evolving since the reselling app launched in 2011, and here are four trends to shop before hitting your favorite retailers. 

Baby Tees 

From characters to your favorite movie sayings there’s a baby tee for everything. Small businesses throughout the app are using their creativity to put whatever comes to mind on a tee for consumers (like us!) to purchase. And let’s not forget to mention the thousands of passed down 80s, 90s, and y2k tees that are constantly up for sale as well. 

Bayonetta Glasses 

We know and love these iconic glasses from the 2000s. With these making a comeback more than twenty years later, there are colors galore to match any outfit. As well as if you’re looking for the classic black pair, you too can hop on this trend (and even take some digitals while you’re at it)! 

Corsets

Looking for a new corset but don’t want to pay new corset prices? Or in need of a date night top by the end of the week? Depop has secret gems throughout the platform, from American Vintage to Victoria Secret, that’ll make you think twice before purchasing current retail for a corset again. 

Vintage Crewnecks 

Everyone has a favorite crew neck that has seen better days, so why not add to the collection with retro prints! Resellers are now selling items featuring graphics that are one of a kind or that aren’t manufactured anymore. Enjoy a blast from the past and splurge on a new *favorite* crew!

Depop’s main mission is to replenish circular fashion and with the app being safe, easy and quick to use for sellers and buyers, why not! And remember: instead of buying it new, thrift it!
