You could pocket up to 200 euros per item.
Vinted, the queen of the closet clearance app, sometimes has surprises in store. If you thought that only luxury pieces found buyers, think again. The basics, those clothes that almost all of us have, are literally blowing up the counters. And often, we let them sleep in the back of our cupboards, without knowing that they can bring us big returns. So why such enthusiasm? These pieces are versatile, timeless and therefore highly sought after. Today, a good, well-cut t-shirt or raw jeans can be as attractive as a designer bag. To lure the customer, focus on an impeccable presentation. A clear photo, a clear description and an attractive price are enough to hit the mark.
Among the pieces that are a hit this season, we find the ball skirt. Evoking the style of the 1980s, it continues to inspire fashion designers and vintage enthusiasts. As a bonus, it’s an easy piece to photograph for an ad. With careful presentation, a ball skirt can quickly find a buyer and bring in a nice sum, up to 200 euros for an H&M model.
Another piece that is causing havoc on Vinted is the suede jacket. Vintage models or recognized brands like Mango or Zara are particularly popular. On Vinted, a jacket in good condition can fetch an attractive price, especially if it is well presented. One of them marked Mango is also sold for 200 euros on the site. To maximize your chances of selling, be sure to show details like stitching or buttons, and be honest about the overall condition of the piece. Buyers appreciate transparency.
Whether in wool, cotton or cashmere, the cardigan is also a timeless piece. Long versions with a belt are particularly popular, but also those in bright colors. If you have a flashy cardigan sitting in your closet, now is the time to bring it online. A turquoise model from Zara is currently priced at 179 euros on the platform with 31 likes to its credit.
Finally, the leopard pattern is still popular. Whether for skirts, blouses, jackets or even accessories, leopard prints are selling like hot cakes. The proof: a pair of H&M leopard pumps is currently on sale for 180 euros on Vinted. To maximize your chances of sales, focus on photos that highlight the quality of the fabric and the vibrancy of the colors. If your piece is in good condition, you might be surprised by how much a buyer is willing to pay to add it to their collection.
So, whether it’s a ball skirt, a suede jacket, a cardigan or a leopard-print piece, search your closets. You could be sitting on a real treasure without even knowing it.
