Let’s be honest - the finer things in life are expensive. Sometimes you’re not able to drop $800 on the latest designer releases, but that doesn’t mean you have to sacrifice your good taste, does it? No, and here’s why.

If you haven’t already heard, secondhand is in and there’s a handful of online stores that specialize in mens secondhand designer clothing. What does secondhand mean for designer clothing? It’s less about sifting through someone’s junk and more about finding the gold in people downgrading or cycling through their own collections.

The mens secondhand designer market helps make sure that all the people that can buy the latest and greatest can get some money back for their stuff. Then, someone like me or you likes another secondhand designer piece enough to buy it and boom, you have a secondary market.

Secondhand designer clothing isn’t just the misfits amidst old sweaters and used shoes, though. You can find some of the greatest vintage bags and most exclusive collaborations, like any Louis Vuitton x Takashi Murakami collection, ever to be released through secondhand designer stores, even after they’re no longer available. It’s like taking all the history of fashion collaborations, exclusives, and collections, then reliving them with your own wardrobe.

There’s a lot of clutter out there, though, and not all secondhand designer is created equal. We’ve taken the liberty of putting together a list of the best secondhand designer stores online, where we hunt for our own finds. You’ll no doubt find them at some of the best prices and pieces around. And the best part? Once you’re ready to move on, you can start the cycle all over again by selling some secondhand designer pieces of your own. It’s a win-win.

Outside of mens secondhand designer clothing, they also have endless collections of jewelry, art, and one-of-a-kind furniture to help upgrade your life, not just your closet.

Grailed

Focused solely on mens secondhand designer, Grailed is the place to look for those hype piece thats you might have missed out on over the years. It’s a secondhand marketplace, so instead of buying your pieces through consignment, you’re buying directly from the seller. The upside of Grailed is you can negotiate a price that works for you, the downside if you can’t guarantee authenticity 100% of the time. It’s always best to get a second opinion before purchasing.

Fashionphile

One of the better sites out there for secondhand designer purchases, Fashionphile focuses mainly on bags. You can find some sweet secondhand designer bags with Fashionphile, though. They’re primary focus is women’s bags, but that’s what makes their site such a good find - most guys wouldn’t think to shop there. If you just add a simple filter on their site, you can see all the mens designer bags they have from Gucci, Louis Vuitton, and other high end designers. All for a fraction of what you’d get them for at the store.

Rebag

In case you couldn’t tell from the name, Rebag also specializes in secondhand designer bags. Rebag is pretty popular now, especially with stores opened up in places like Beverly Hills and Melrose entirely dedicated to their expansive collection of secondhand designer pieces. Since most people go to Rebag for their secondhand bags before they go to places like Fashionphile, prices can sometimes be inflated, but there’s a steal from time to time if you look hard enough.

Vesitaire Collective

Vesitaire Collective is another luxury resale marketplace, but its a stomping ground for secondhand luxury and designer resellers from all around the world. The business started in Paris and slowly trickled to an international marketplace, so you can bet that you’ll find some unique French and European fashion on the site. Since men’s secondhand designer is an option on this site, we included it in our list. If you know what you’re looking for, Vesitaire Collective is a good place to compare marketplace prices against what you might be willing to pay.
