I also love Mercari for shopping secondhand!

I’m trying to figure this out myself. Here are my opinions:

Jeans- Madewell. I don’t usually spend that much on jeans ($100) but I tried these secondhand in a couple of pairs and now they’re my favorite!

Sweaters- I have a cotton sweater from the Gap that has held up really well for 5 years and I wear it a lot. It’s hit or miss there. Banana Republic is a step up with good options.

Secondhand- if you’re not sure about a brand you haven’t tried before, try buying secondhand. You can try out the brand at a low price point and see if it’s worth the hype.

Dresses- Stick to established brands. I have a couple of dresses that I love from boutiques that each got torn somehow after a few wears. But then I have a wash and wear dress from Calvin Klein that’s a workhorse.
