Are you looking for some vintage clothes without having to spend too much?

From cheap finds at the local thrift shops, to rummaging through your parent’s closets, the answers are all around you. The vintage fashion trend made its way into international brands, and we can’t get a good old jacket without having to spend a fortune. But there are many ways one can acquire truly vintage pre-owned clothes for a fraction of the prices.

Rummage  through your  mom’s  trunks; Why settle for fashion remakes if  you can get original editions.

Have you ever opened your parent’s or grandparent’s closets and found an abundance of clothes they used to wear back in the day? I have. Raiding our family’s closets can serve as a way to revive fashion styles that our generations have not experienced. It can preserve the previous generation’s styles and merge them with our modern fashion. Try switching your outfits with your parents or grandparents one day. You’d be surprised how interesting that can look.

Be the belle of the ball – Make sure you stand out wherever you are.

Grandma’s  Jalabiyas? Give a fresh take on traditional frocks by giving it a boho spin.

Finally, another way one can benefit from pre-owned clothes is to upcycle them. Hasanat is a charity that re-purposes donated clothes and sells them while giving all the proceeds to charities supporting and empowering local women. The way it works is, Hasanat receives unwanted clothes from people, washes and sorts them, then re-purposes them while teaching volunteering women how to sew and make a living.
