What to Buy and Consign Before Spring Arrives, According to a Market Expert
Is there anything more satisfying than spring-cleaning your closet? While at times it can be hard to part with some of your cherished fashion items (especially those designer pieces you spent a small fortune on), the rewarding part of purging is that is you can always make a little pocket money on your unused items (because let’s face it, they're certainly not being used gathering dust at the back of your closet) by consigning on fashion resell sites. Buying and selling pre-owned wares is not only sustainable, but you can often score some incredible gems at a fraction of their retail price.
Curious to see what I should be selling (and buying) before I head into my spring-cleaning frenzy, I tapped into market expert Sasha Skoda, head of women's at luxury consignment retailer The RealReal. Below, she shares her tips on the designer items we should be consigning and the items we should scoop up with that extra change before spring arrives.
"Trench coats are among the most-searched items on our site during spring, and Burberry’s timeless trenches are some of the most popular right now. With Ricardo Tisci at the helm, resale value for Burberry items is high.""The shoulder bag had a major comeback last season, and it’s not going anywhere. With many design houses like Gucci bringing back designs from the archives, now is the time to consign the vintage styles that inspired today’s like this Gucci shoulder bag." "Demand for sunglasses rises during the warmer months. From '90s micro mini lenses to oversized '60s shades, this year almost every decade is desirable.""Spring break and summer vacations are right around the corner, and we've seen that our customers are shopping for comfortable and casual shoes they can explore new cities in and easily kick off at the beach.""Zimmermann is a contemporary brand that is always in demand once spring rolls around. Now is the perfect time to consign last season's dresses so you can invest in current styles!""I'm looking to invest in a floral dress for spring weddings, bridal showers, and dressier events. Floral gowns have been trending during award season (and also on our site). We’ve seen that demand for floral gowns has increased over 100% year over year (nearly 70% in the past few months).""Stay on trend this season with '60s-inspired platforms that you can dress up or down all through the season.""Leather shorts are an elevated alternative to the warm-weather miniskirt. Colored leather is a personal favorite of mine for the season.""Top-handle bags are great to pair with shorts and a tank for an alfresco brunch or a feminine dress and heels for a bridal shower. Brands like Gucci and Miu Miu featured bamboo styles in their S/S 20 runway collections, but you don't have to wait for new-season products to be released to shop them on our site." "An oversized, lightweight blazer is a perfect item for transitioning your winter looks to spring. I love updating the suiting trend with fresh colors. It's the easiest way to add a pop of color to a T-shirt and jeans."A cult favorite among the street style set.You'll be wholly on trend this spring/summer with a '70s-inspired suede crossbody bag.We saw chain-embellished shoes all over the spring 2020 runways.The perfect day-to-night purse.Heeled loafers are one of spring 2020's biggest shoe trends.Layer under your blazer to create the trending three-piece-suit layered effect.It's all about chunky chain-link necklaces right now.The smartest warm-weather investment.Clogs are back for spring.

If you're into fashion and an avid TikTok scroller, you've probably come across the viral and somewhat controversial Coperni one-leg jeans . People who got their hands on them are asking followers how they should style them - and even whether or not they should keep them. Those who are still on a waitlist or are simply curious about the trend are going so far as to DIY the jeans by taking a scissor to one leg of an old pair. I, on the other hand, dared to step into the Romeo Hunte Black One Leg Pant ($232, originally $725), an alternative take on the same silhouette that's even more eye-catching (which, how is that possible?). These jeans were, without a doubt, one of the most polarizing looks I've ever worn - and I've tried some pretty divisive clothing, from Skims butt-enhancing shapewear to the brand's famous push-up nipple bra , and many a sheer naked dress . After wearing the jeans around town to run errands and obviously attracting some attention (st...

Never have we been more envious of an inanimate object than when Pedro Pascal stepped out in a sparkly cardigan this week. As soon as we saw him walking the streets of London wearing the glittery knit, we longed to swap places with it - to be enrobing the heartthrob, catching the attention of random passersby, sparking internet discourse, and ultimately taking responsibility for his style breakout. Pascal has been serving look after look while promoting " The Last of Us " season one and "The Mandalorian" season three this year, working with stylists Julie Ragolia and Fabio Immediato . His latest came on Feb. 23 when he arrived to a radio interview wearing the shiny cardigan in question: a long button-down sweater made of silver foil yarn and created by menswear label 4SDesigns. He layered it over a sheer brown tank top and finished the look with black pants, leather boots, and his usual chunky-framed glasses. Just one day prior, the actor stopped by a photo call...
