Top tips for shopping for second-hand fashion If you're new to shopping second-hand, here are a few tips to help you get started: Look out for the composition of the item - this will tell you what it's made from, and how to best look after it (for example, washing at a low temperature). Check whether the item is brand new or not - at Reliked, we put a special pink 'Brand New' tag on items that are still new with tags. Set yourself a budget - you'll be surprised at how far it goes compared to buying new items. When you get your pre-loved pieces, tailor them to your body shape and style! Add a belt or some jewellery, or even get them altered to really suit you. And finally, if you're saying goodbye to items in your wardrobe, try reselling them too! This reduces the number of clothes going to landfill. If you're an influencer, you can also start selling through Reliked!
