Tired of spending too much money on clothes? Thrifting offers affordable alternatives for looking stylish, and with Oxford’s variety of thrift stores, it’s an exciting experience. After all, you never know what you might discover next!
The first store to check out is Uptown Threads on Church Street. Its wide selection of clothes stands out with prices mostly under $10. It’s not only super affordable but also one of the larger stores on this list. I highly recommend stopping by!
Next up, the College Artisans Shop is another adorable place to check out! It offers second-hand clothes that are less-worn and typically of higher quality. From vintage shirts to leather jackets, the shop has several statement pieces at great prices. Moreover, this student-owned business sells jewelry, bags, and more from local vendors.
Perhaps the best-known thrift store in Oxford, the Goodwill on Locust Street, is always a solid choice. The store has practically everything, guaranteeing you’ll find something here. If you’re searching for something more specific, I recommend stopping here first before visiting other stores.
If you’re looking for a graphic shirt, Flow State is the place. This is another student-owned business that specializes in vintage clothing. However, their selection is much smaller when it comes to other items. They mainly have graphic T-shirts and a small amount of denim.
With so much money being spent on fast fashion, thrifting is an environmentally friendly and affordable solution. There are so many thrift stores in Oxford worth checking out!
Great article on thrifting for conscientious shopping. FYI: There's a sweet little thrift store that's been open for 4 + years next to the Fire Station--on South Elm Street, near the bus stop on Spring Street next to the RR tracks--Snazzy Boutique and Gifts! Vintage, Current sytles, and Local Art. Come see! www.shopsnazzyboutiqueandgifts.com thanks!
Wow this is such good advice!
