Did you know that many people do not wear at least 50% of the clothes in their wardrobes? If you’ve ever stared at a packed closet and thought, ‘I have nothing to wear,’ you’re not alone. 

Your closet could be hiding more than just forgotten clothes. It could be hiding cash. And a more sustainable way to refresh your wardrobe. By reselling what you don’t wear, you can give your clothes a second life while earning some extra money.

Spot the Cash-Ready Items 

Begin by searching for signs that something has resale value. Items that are…

• Made from high-quality fabrics

•  In like-new condition

• fFom recognizable brands

•  Timeless pieces like denim, jackets, or handbags

•  Vintage tees or event wear 

…are good candidates for resale.

Holding onto “someday clothes” just takes up space and mental energy. Those clothes that might come back in style or might fit again in the future (might being the key word here) are likely better off with someone who will appreciate them right now. Just as you will appreciate the money you receive in exchange.

Prep for Profit

In order for your preloved items to make a profit, remember: that the better the condition, the more valuable they are. Make sure to wash, fold, and even repair your clothes as necessary before consigning. Think of it like a job interview. Clothes look a lot more hireable when they’re clean, pressed, and not missing buttons. Avoid wasting time on items that are too worn. You can donate those pieces instead.
