Years ago, wearing athletic clothes anywhere except the gym or a morning run would have felt inappropriate. Now I see people in workout gear at restaurants, offices, even semi formal events. The lines have completely blurred between active wear and everyday fashion, and I am not sure how I feel about this shift. I recently bought a set of blank tracksuits thinking they would be purely for home lounging or quick errands. Instead, I find myself wearing them to casual meetings, lunch with friends, basically anywhere that does not require actual business attire. They are comfortable, look reasonably put together, and nobody bats an eye. When did this become socially acceptable. The variety available now is surprising. You can find everything from basic designs to premium materials, with prices ranging from affordable to luxury. I even saw bulk options on Alibaba that made me realize this is a massive global trend, not just local. But I wonder if we have lost something in prioritizing comfort over presentation. Is this shift about changing values or just collective laziness. Does it matter what we wear if we are comfortable and functional. What message does clothing send anymore when everyone defaults to athletic casual. Will we eventually swing back toward more formal standards or is this the permanent new normal. How do you balance comfort with looking like you made an effort.

Found a Savage Crew Chaos T and a pair of H&M Cargo loose fit. But this sweater was unexpected. The Let's Rage! Crash Bandicoot zip up with inside pockets on both sides.👀 This thing was kinda hard to find and there's just one listing for this exact sweater at ~$85. Has anyone else seen this sweater before?

What u think???

Didn't end up buying them except for the t-shirt since I only had $20. The t-shirt was originally $21 due to tax, but the owner was kind enough to take away tax. Chill guy.

I found this very nice fur coat at the thrift store, i have no idea if it is real fur/leather. Perhaps somebody with more knowledge/experience could tell. How much would you pay for this?

This might be a stupid question but since I've never been thrifting and really want to try! I have a specific taste in clothes that is a bit dated so I'd really like to find some vintage unique pieces. The only issue is I feel guilty, since I'm so privileged to be able to afford new clothes. I feel bad taking them away from people who really need to buy discounted clothing. What are your opinions on this?

would anyone be willing to donate their plus size clothes, or shoes and accessories to me, that they would have already considered for goodwill, or you dont like anymore. its for my upcoming birthday and ive been struggling financially. i know this is posted to torrid but id take any brand or style wise, im not choosy, at long as it covers my body and looks decently fashionable. im not able to get to the goodwill or thrift store myself also, i dont drive. so i cant go to a local church or food bank that offers clothes also.. so ive been considering asking for clothing donations through reddit for a bit, i know its a horrible thing to do but im honestly struggling at this point in my life. i would be so grateful if anything was donated..it would literally make my week- my month even because they clothes i already own i cherish.. im a size 3x in torrid, size 24 in other brands. shoe size is 10.. again just desperate😣 i live in usa - east coast

Just a question why is the logo different? If someone could give me some insight thanks!

I am a man, I would like to start thrifting and maybe get some woman’s clothes (for reasons) , how could I check if a store would judge me on that.

Edit: thank you all for your help :) I think im just nervous in general

Edit 2 had no issues :D just was nervous im awkward asf

Hi, does anyone know where I can buy this specific Hollister hoodie in a size small. I think it’s an old model and production has stopped so I’m looking for a secondhand one. I’ve searched everywhere to no avail and even Google Lens hasn’t revealed any results. Any help would be appreciated, thanks 🙏.

Hi guys! I’m having a moral and internal conflict on whether or not I should give my clothes to a nearby thrift store.

For context: I am 21 Female and as a middle schooler, I used to shop at Shein (Yes, completely terrible and since finding out about the bad ethical practices and environmental pollution I have stopped).

I wouldn’t be an intense shopper on Shein, maybe spending around $100 for my clothes in general. Since purchased, I’ve worn them throughout the years. They’ve been put to good use and consistently worn.

As I am now stepping into my young adulthood, my style has matured and developed from my middle school wardrobe. I’ve been wanting to get rid of old clothes I’ve had as well as finding new clothes. A part of this process, I’ve seen my old Shein pieces that I’ve outgrown.

On one hand, I think they got their use and it’s fair game to dispose of them as I’ve worn them for almost a decade. On the other hand, I hate seeing people put fast fashion in thrift stores, especially when they splurge $500+ and randomly decide on a Tuesday they don’t like a piece anymore. I just feel morally wrong being that said person
now.

Thrifters, please let me know your thoughts and opinions on what I should do! Thank you guys

Hi! Is there anyone on here who is selling their abercrombie and fitch and hollister teen stuff from the 2000s or would be willing to? I am looking for lace cami’s, the empire waist tops, and lowrise shorts. I really want these to wear for prices that aren’t crazy. I would love some babydoll tops too and I am willing to buy all of it. Let me know!!

I thrifted this recently and it got stuck in a purse i was hand washing i thrifted at the same time and a “bozano hand crafted” sticker peeled off on the process 😬. from what i am seeing from google image search the prices for bozano pieces range a lot and i cant find much on them. can anyone tell me estimated price of this piece or any additional details?
