Shopping for the trends at Planet Aid Thrift Store
Fashion enthusiasts are getting a taste of the new trends that will dominate the thrift store scene for fall and winter. Thrifting continues to be a popular choice for fashion-forward individuals who want to express their unique style while embracing sustainable shopping practices.
Planet Aid Thrift Store is all in, so get ready to learn about six dominant trends you can try this fall and winter season.
The List
1. Vintage Revival: Vintage clothing remains a timeless trend. There’s a treasure trove in vintage finds so keep on exploring! Expect a resurgence of retro styles from the 70s and 80s, focusing on bold patterns, oversized blazers, and high-waisted trousers. It's a style with British Vogue's approval. Plus, it's not only stylish, it's utilitarian. Both trends are perfect for layering in the colder temperature months.
2. Cozy Knitwear: Who doesn’t love cozy knitwear for fall and winter? This season, your local thrift stores are expected to be filled with chunky sweaters, cardigans, and scarves. Planet Aid Thrift Store is no exception. Oversized knitwear continues to be in vogue, providing both comfort and style.
3. Layering Essentials: Fall and winter call for strategic layering, and thrift stores provide ample options. Look for turtlenecks, thermal tops, and lightweight cardigans that can be layered under heavier pieces. Here’s a hot tip: Mixing textures and colors can create dimension and visual interest in your outfit.
4. Sustainable Fabrics: With an increasing awareness of environmental impact, sustainable fabrics are at the forefront of thrift store fashion. Natural fibers like wool, cotton, and linen are popular picks for fall and winter, offering warmth and durability. Shoppers should seek out quality items that look good and contribute to a more eco-friendly wardrobe.
Wool is a great choice for so many reasons! Wool coats, sweaters, and scarves are must-haves for winter. You don't want to replace them yearly, so durability is the way to go. Wool is a renewable source since sheep’s wool grows back once shorn.
How’s that for a plus?
Furthermore, wool is known to be extremely warm, water resistant, and long-lasting, making it an all-around winner for sustainability.
5. Accessories with Flair: No outfit is complete without the right accessories. This season, thrift stores are the place to go for statement jewelry, vintage hats, and leather belts. These accessories elevate any outfit and add a personal touch, creating a distinctive look.
6. Wild & Western Footwear: It seems the Wild and the Wild West are key players in this year's footwear trends. Snakeskin boots and feathered pumps are just one part of the rage. The Town & Country's article: "These 8 Shoe Trends Are Going to Define Footwear This Fall," also puts cowboy boots on the 'must-have' list.
