How to Find Fashion for Less

last updated 8 March 2021

One of our favourite things to do here at Who What Wear is use our hours of research (i.e., deep-diving into the world of online shopping) to discover lesser-known destinations for great fashion finds. Our most recent discovery may come as a surprise to some, given that eBay has been around for quite some time (since 1995 actually, just to make us all feel old) and is largely known for selling a huge range of things, from great second-hand furniture to electronics and even cars.

For the last couple of seasons, though, we’ve been rediscovering eBay as a fashion destination. Since the rise in second-hand shopping within the industry, it’s been one of our growing favourites for snatching up amazing pre-loved and vintage finds. Unfortunately, these are all often one-off pieces that fly off the site faster than we can share them with you. Now, however, eBay is going one step further for us fashion-lovers and have just launched a fresh new Brand Outlet.

This includes over 150 brands, from high-street favourites like New Look and Dorothy Perkins, sportswear brands like Nike and Adidas and designer names from Dolce & Gabbana to Acne Studios, all with up to 70% off. Let’s be clear—this isn’t your usual out of season cast-offs. The edit is full of classic investment pieces for so much less, like cashmere jumpers, leather jackets and Dr Marten boots, as well as the most up-to-date trainer styles and on-trend midi dresses, and that’s just touching the surface. These are items you'll want to buy today, but still want to wear for years to come.

So whilst there are a growing number of options for shopping secondhand online, eBay is coming to the fore as the online destination for outlet fashion, something that is relatively new to the e-comm world. Not only is it a lesser-known way to discover fashion for less, but it’s also another great way to reduce the number of surplus clothes in the fashion economy.
