Every city has its own rare finds that thrift shopping can offer, and it’s time to discover some for yourself.

Admit it, all you girls out there, who amongst you loves thrift shopping? Some people turn a blind eye to this shopping trend, labelling it dirty, ugly and basically second-hand. But we think thrifting is one of the best things this world has given us – super affordable, trendy, and sometimes even rare discoveries that we have the ‘luxury’ of rummaging for. We hope that’s the case for you as well.

The beauty of thrift shopping lies in the fact that you can literally find clothes from all eras and seasons, unlike your usual fashion outlets in big shopping malls that only sell items for the current trend, and after which, they’re gone. This is because people sell their preloved clothing to thrift stores after the trends are over, and that’s where the idea that thrift shops only sell outdated items stems from.

Perhaps you’re not one to follow trends much, or maybe you love coming up with your own style of fashion. Then, we’re pretty sure you’ll find what you’re looking for at one of these thrift places that even Zooey Deschanel, a celebrity who sure knows her thrifting, would love.
