Second-hand shops - clothing shopping tips

Here I come New 2016... It is still unknown what joys and victories it will bring to our country, but it is too early to think about an increase in the standard of living of the population. In 2016, Russians will continue to save money, including on clothing.

Second-hand shops can help in this endeavor, the main thing is that there are great deals in your city, and you know the basic principles of buying used clothing. And you also need to regularly visit such stores, and then it is quite likely that you will be lucky to find original things in condition - like new ones from well-known brands.

Second-hand means things that have already been used by someone. Whether it's clothes or shoes, accessories, books or even firsthand information. But we used to call that only used clothes. In this article, we will analyze the nuances of buying it in second hand. These are simple truths, but we often forget about them when we visit these stores.

Buy clean clothes

If you decide to purchase used clothing, then buy only those that have undergone chemical treatment (cleaning). The only exception is stock clothing. After the previous carrier, bacteria can remain, including dangerous infections.

Dry cleaning not only removes dirt, but also bacteria. Washing in a washing machine, even with special means, is not always capable of destroying microorganisms that may be on clothes. And dry cleaning does an excellent job of it. Things have to go through several stages of processing, after which they become clean and safe for use.

Of course, you can take the purchased item for cleaning on your own, but this will not be profitable for you. It is easy to understand that the clothes have been cleaned: on it you will feel a specific smell left by chemical means. This smell tells us about the cleanliness of the clothes.

Whatever clean clothes are, they must be washed before use.

After dry cleaning particles of chemical solutions remain on clothing, which can cause redness and burning sensation in people with sensitive skin. Also, the smell of cleaning products can cause allergies. After buying a second-hand item, be sure to wash it for an hour, preferably with an air conditioner. This ensures that the odor is removed from the garment after the first wash.

Unfortunately, this rule cannot be applied to all things, many woolen shawls and shawls fade and lose color, and jackets and jackets turn into a rag after washing.

Buy quality clothes!

The dress you like may have defects, and you will notice them only after purchase. Therefore, before you reach the checkout, carefully examine the item. There may be holes or scuffs on it, as well as missing parts.

Always try on second-hand clothes

Do not rely on the specified size, especially if the clothes are not new. Worn items can lose their shape and fit poorly, so be sure to check how they fit on your body before buying. Don't trust your feelings and don't buy clothes by eye. Otherwise, the purchase will be unsuccessful for you: the item will not be in size, and the money will be wasted.

In conclusion, it is important to note that not all Russian cities are provided with second-hand shops where you can buy truly high-quality clothes. In some cities you can find second-hand goods with very high quality items. There you can find real jeans from well-known brands and much more. But so far not everywhere, in many cities, second-hand shops focus on completely disadvantaged and poor citizens, and therefore offer completely unsightly things.
