In fact, thrift stores have arguably never been more popular among teens than they are today.The thrift store industry has grown significantly in recent years. Thrifting has also changed by including online platforms like Depop and eBay. This has made thrifting more accessible to all. Since 2020, these apps and others like it saw a huge rise in usage. But thrifting also benefits sellers, offering a good side hustle for people who want to make a little extra cash and to get rid of some old clothes.“I’d say my business is pretty successful,” senior Kyleigh Kramer said about her Depop account. “I sell about 70% of the items I list.”Gen Z is certainly a main reason why thrifting is on the rise. Vintage styles and retro fashions are commonly seen in the halls at NASH. It’s a cycle–styles from at least a decade ago have been reinvented and are trendy again. Nonetheless, thrifting does come with some criticisms, the most frequent of which is, ironically, the prices at vintage stores.“I don’t really go shopping for vintage clothing because most of the places are super overpriced,” Colbie Edmond, a junior said. Regardless, the trend continues, so here are some local Pittsburgh thrift stores/vintage stores for those who need recommendations. Twisted Vintage in Oakland Twisted is a vintage-curated thrift store, with prices from $10-45 dollars per item. They have a range of clothes from the 90s and 2000s, including a wide selection of vintage denim and t-shirts.Boheme Shops in Lawrenceville Boheme shop is a storefront shop that has a bunch of different vendors. The vendors sell a plentiful variety of different styles and fashions. Examples of some of the styles they have are like very soft retro styles to 90s vintage clothes. Their prices depend on the vendors and what they sell.Style Encore in McCandless Crossing Style encore is a more traditional style of thrift store. They are primarily a women’s clothing store but they have recently added a men’s section. One thing that makes Style Encore interesting is that they sell designer items there. They have a wide variety of bags, wallets and other luxury items. Their prices are moderate but for these designer items it can go up in price. Goodwill all over the area Goodwill is a classic. Based on this list, it’s the most traditional thrift experience you can get. They have whatever you can think of in all sorts of styles. Their prices are probably the cheapest on this list and you’re almost guaranteed to find something you like — you’ll just have to search. “I like when I find good clothing after looking for a long time,” Edmond added. “It’s very rewarding.”</div></body>
