Looking for cheap-ish clothes
Do y’all have recommendations on value clothing brands? Currently balling on a budget and I want to start re-building my 2 year old wardrobe that’s mostly from Marshall’s lol.
I haven’t really bought new clothes in a while so I’m not sure how much they cost but I’m hoping to spend ~<40 for pants and ~20-25 for shirts. I’m not sure if it’s possible but I don’t mind moving my budget up a little bit.

Secondhand high key
eBay or da thrift
You can get really good stuff for dummy cheap
Is the best way to make sure the clothes are good/clean just through reviews mostly? And some from pictures?
Also, how is depop?
Depop is also pretty good
And Poshmark/grailed
eBay is definitely the premier site though cos so many more people sell on it
Yeah I’d look at the pictures, most sellers take pretty detailed pictures. You could also ask
Thanks, I’ll check it out!
I’d also wash/clean anything you buy before wearing obvs
Uniqlo may have some options for you?
Def eBay. You have to live with idea that you will have some hits and misses. The price makes it palatable. Typically if you end up with something unseen re: stains, smell, etc... you can rectify with a little laundry research, dry cleaning, or just airing things out. Also worthwhile to have things tailored or altered to fit your frame. All kinds of great vintage Polo, Brooks Brothers, etc... that in many cases are preferable to what you'd get today from same brands. On the other hand, J Crew, Banana Republic, Uniqlo, Madewell, Abercrombie & Fitch, all go on sale frequently if you are looking to buy new. Or better yet, don't be like me. Be intentional and buy one of something you'll have forever rather than 6 lessor versions of the same thing. Sometimes it takes some trial and error thought to figure out what that is. A Drakes Coverall Jacket or a Manresa Bittner, a Carhart, a Dickies, a Ralp Lauren Hunting Coat, a vintage J Crew Barn Coat, etc. Three pairs of Gap jeans or some selvedge denim from 3Sixteen. etc.
