Best Thrifters To Watch On Youtube

by Morgan Donahue

Youtube is brimming with unique women sharing their thrift finds on the internet from all over the world. Watch one, and you’ll soon find yourself going deeper and deeper into a rabbit hole of second hand style inspiration. Whether it’s ‘70s bohemian, trendy street style or ‘90s ‘it girl’, you’re sure to find a Youtuber who resonates with your own style. I’ve gathered quite a few of my favorites to watch. Enjoy!

Wear I Live

Jenny Welbourn from Wear I Live is a vegan and sustainability advocate on Youtube. Her thrift hauls are full of quirky patterns and oversized denim that she wears out and about in Brooklyn, New York. She’s a recent FIT graduate who is navigating this thing we call life, all whilst promoting slower fashion and rocking thrifted outfits. 

B. Jones Style

Beth from B. Jones Style is the thrifting queen of youtube. She takes her viewers along with her on a journey scouring the goodwills and savers of sunny California for the latest runway trends. Her vibrant and lively personality shows in her detailed looks filled with plaid, ruffles and blazers. She has also created a dedicated community of thrifters who are #alwaysplaydressup, as is her motto. 

TheNotoriousKIA 

Brooklyn resident, Kia Marie, is all about sneakers and sustainability on her page. She gives lots of relevant and insightful tips such as how to clean and disinfect your thrift store clothing (which is definitely needed in a time like now during Covid-19) to tips on how to buy & sell pre-owned designer clothes. Kia is definitely a style icon that takes you on a journey on how to dress for any occasion.

dianachamomile

Diana has the most darling style; her wardrobe is filled with embroidery, thrifted berets and fruit printed tops. She has a deep love for florals and Disney, and she and her boyfriend, Roger, are the sweetest and most stylish couple. Diana posts many “come thrifting with me” videos where you get to come along throughout NYC to the best thrift and vintage stores around. 

Haley’s channel will definitely inspire you to find tons of brand name clothing at the thrift store. Her hauls are filled with Tommy Hillfiger, Adidas and Levi’s. She does styling videos in which she shows you how to style your thrifted t-shirts and denim into cute and trendy outfits! She also posts thrift flips and DIY’s, which are great ways to repurpose and reuse clothing! 

Addie - Old World New

Meet Addie Benson also known as @oldworldnew on Instagram. Her YouTube page is equal parts thrifting haul and family fun content. With her adorable son making an appearance here and there for videos and on her social media pages, there is a lot of wholesome content fo everyone. If you need some sustainable living tips, be sure to check out here Youtube page here.

Tiny Acorn

Erica Stevens from Tiny Acorn has a very feminine and sophisticated style. Think pussy-bow blouses, red lips and ‘70s dresses. She posts tons of outfit inspiration videos where she mixes both vintage and modern pieces, as well as videos showing how you can rework your wardrobe by reimagining its contents! However, my favorite series she does is called In Her Closet, where she interviews women about their relationship to personal style and then goes thrifting with them! 

Hitomi Mochizuki

Hitomi Mochizuki’s thrift hauls are always a surprise. You never know which of her many style ‘alter egos’ are going to come out- and that is the beauty and thrill of thrifting! She finds the most amazing dreamy and funky pieces, and her videos are filled with her captivating and magical personality. 

Studio 86

Bao and Sheng Vang from Studio86 are a dream team when it comes to thrifting and styling. They find amazing oversized blazers and the perfect fitting trousers, all with the best fabrics and textures. I love their ‘partner in thrifting’ dynamic and their ability to seamlessly blend thrifted items with their wardrobes. 

haley in the details

Haley Walker’s videos from haley in the details are colorful and packed to the brim with styling inspiration. From her voluminous hair to her bold lipsticks, she is a vision to behold on Youtube! She is not afraid of color, and she really knows how to wear an ‘80s jumpsuit. If you love bright prints, shoulder pads and high waisted pants in every hue imaginable, Haley is the girl for you!
