A denim-on-denim look can be worn almost every season, but maybe you’re not sure how to wear it.

There are several ways to style the look, and we think once you get the hang of it, you won’t stop wearing it. It’s super simple and hard to get wrong. Let us show you 7 looks!

1. Keep It One Tone

Go for all-dark or all-light denim.

2. Mix Your Denim

Or, mix denim colors for a nice contrast.

3. Add Stripes

A striped tee or sweater may just be the perfect pairing to a denim-heavy look.

4. Wear a Denim Jacket as a Top

Button up a denim jacket and wear it as your top. Simple as that!

5. Add a Silk Scarf

There is something in particular about a silk fabric against denim that really pops. Try a silk neck scarf or a long scarf like the one here.

6. Don’t Forget Your Denim Skirts

Bring in a denim mini, midi, or maxi to the look.

7. Go All In

Grab all your favorite denim pieces and layer them!

See how easy a denim-on-denim look can be to pull off! Stop into any of our store locations if you’re looking for denim pieces. And don’t forget to bring along your pre-loved clothing to sell for cash or store credit.

We’re just days away from a season shift, which means it’s time to spring clean and sell clothes!

We like to clean out our closets at least 3 times a year, usually at the beginning of the year, when spring arrives, and then when we switch over to fall.

With each closet clean comes the opportunity to sell our gently used clothing for cash or trade credit, and there’s no better place to get this done than in our stores or by mail.

If you’ve never sold clothes in one of our stores, this video from Mary of Mary Elizabeth shows you exactly what the process looks like.

And Beth of B. Jones Style shares how our Sell by Mail option is free and easy.

Ready to get started? Check out our latest selling guide to see what we’re looking for, then mark your calendars to spring clean and sell clothes soon. If you plan to sell in-store, no appointment is necessary. We buy all day every day, so our buyers are waiting to help you!

Sporty chic style seems effortless when it’s done right. It’s a trend we’ve included in our current selling guide, and one that can be pulled together with pieces like your favorite leggings and a perfectly-oversized blazer.

Although you don’t need many pieces to achieve the look, you can mix them together for countless outfits. Here are 7 that caught our eye.

1. Monochrome

Go for one color to make dressing easy and to increase the chic factor. This works exceptionally well with black pieces.

2. Top it Off with a Cap

Throw on a cap to shake the business feel from your button-downs and structured handbags.

3. With a Unitard

Start with a great sport basic like a unitard and simply layer from there. This look has hints of another trend we love: ballet fashion.

4. Add a Sweatshirt

Layer a sweatshirt under a long trench or wool coat, and you’ve added a touch of polish to a comfy piece.

5. Start with a Sports Tee

Sports shirts have great fits, so pair them with your ‘fit.

6. Mix it Up with a Crop Top

Swap out a blouse or t-shirt with a crop top to easily add a sporty vibe.

7. Bring in a Bomber

An oversized bomber over sleek leggings or bike shorts makes for a great contrast.

Try a sporty chic style look this spring, and stop into any of our store locations if you’re looking for fun pieces to build it. Even better, benefit from your recent spring clean by bringing in your pre-loved clothing to sell for cash or store credit.

Of course, there are more! But if you’re just getting started in the world of secondhand fashion, here are 4 thrifting accounts to follow on TikTok now. And hey, you can even join us there too!

Celeste of @_celestemunoz has a go-to Instagram feed to follow for fashion inspiration, especially if you love seeing looks that incorporate secondhand finds. We reached out to ask more about her personal style and how she started shopping for secondhand fashion. Read on to learn more about Celeste.

Hi, Celeste! Please tell us a little about yourself.

Hi! I am 27 and have been living in New York City for 9 years. I work in fashion merchandising and do social media and content creation on the side. An avid coffee drinker and thrifter, I’m also obsessed with hot yoga and pilates.

It’s great that you incorporate secondhand fashion into your wardrobe. Tell us how you started thrifting.

I have been into thrifting since I was a kid! I always loved vintage and was obsessed with the history of fashion trends. It may have started when I began watching That 70s Show. It inspired me so much in middle school and lead me to start learning about what garment details were telling signs of the decades they were made in. Now, my POV on thrifting has changed into wanting to consume less fast fashion and knowing that since trends are cyclical, you can always thrift the original piece instead of buying it at Zara. Often times vintage is better quality anyway.

What was your best secondhand fashion find ever?

SO MANY! My favorites are my Burberry Trench Coat ($35) and my Gold Metallic Jean Paul Gaultier Skirt ($10).

You’re fresh off the heels of NYFW. What were your personal highlights?

I went to the I Like You after party, which was SO FUN! So many tiktokers were there, and the street style was so cool.

Spring is on the horizon! Which spring trends are you most excited about?

I am so excited for the return of bohemian style in a modern way. I’ve been super inspired by crochet paired back to tailored pieces, or voluminous silhouettes in linen-like materials.

Thank you, Celeste, for taking the time to tell us more about your personal style, and what spring trends you’re looking forward to.
