So if you've got a wardrobe full of clothes and shoes you never wear, you've come to the right place and will need to listen up.
The fashion fan who has cashed in £5,641.07 through the marketplace app, confirmed that not only are white maxi skirts selling instantly at the moment, but there's an old brand that is sure to fill your wallet.
The content creator and Vinted enthusiast, who buys and sells on the app 'every single day,' took to social media to share her top tips and tricks, leaving many totally stunned.
The blonde-haired beauty, who is a top Vinted seller with over 500 five star reviews, said: 'These are the brands and the items that are selling really well on Vinted at the moment.
'I add things to my favourites and then wait and see what sells - and all of these have sold and are doing really well as listings on Vinted at the moment.
'So whether you are selling your old bits and bobs or you are a reseller, these are the things that you should be listing.'
Maxi skirts
First things first, Chloe stressed that maxi skirts in any colour are selling 'so well on Vinted at the moment.'
In particular, she recognised that white tiered maxi skirts will move fast, as she beamed: 'I buy maxi skirts all the time, but specifically the tiered ones that are becoming more popular.
'Specifically ones that are vintage - so if you have one with an old label in or it's Jane Norman or any sort of quirky brands, they are selling so fast.
'Every single maxi skirt that I add to my favourites is sold in 30 minutes. It's insane.

'So if you have an old maxi skirt or if you are wanting to make a profit, maxi skirts are really really good at the moment.'
Jane Norman
Secondly, Chloe revealed that Jane Norman is one brand that is popular on the app at the moment.
She continued: 'This brand was really popular back in the early 2000s, but it's slowly coming back into fashion and it is doing so well on Vinted.
'Just make sure you price your items correctly, do your research.
'I've seen some people uploading stuff that is Jane Norman, thinking that it's not worth anything for about £2 and then it gets sold and relisted for £20 plus.
'It's a very, very popular brand at the moment.'
Do you need to pay tax on items sold on Vinted?
QUICK facts on tax from the team at Vinted... The only time that an item might be taxable is if it sells for more than £6,000 and there is profit (sells for more than you paid for it). Even then, you can use your capital gains tax-free allowance of £3,000 to offset it.
Generally, only business sellers trading for profit (buying goods with the purpose of selling for more than they paid for them) might need to pay tax. Business sellers who trade for profit can use a tax-free allowance of £1,000, which has been in place since 2017.

Jellycats
If you're in need of some cash and your little one has shelves full of Jellycats, you may want to think about selling some, as Chloe recognised: 'These always do well on Vinted.
'Just make sure that if you are clearing out your children's toys, you are checking the tags - even if it's books, some books are by Jellycat, so have a look at the labels.
'Make sure that you aren't giving anything away or selling something at a car boot sale that is actually worth quite a lot.
'Jellycats are increasing in popularity, so these do so well on Vinted.'
She also advised: 'Just make sure that they are genuine - there are a lot of fakes. Google how to tell if they're real.'
Trainers
As well as this, Chloe urged sellers to upload their trainers to the marketplace app, as she explained: 'Trainers always do well on Vinted.
'If you have a pair of old New Balance or Nikes, specifically vintage, early 90s sort of shoes, they do really well.
Do your research and make sure that you price them accordingly on Vinted
Chloe Chandler
'Some of the newer designs do quite well on Vinted too, so if you have some trainers, don't just think that they're not worth anything and sell them for 50p at a car boot.
'You need to actually do your research and make sure that you price them accordingly on Vinted.
'People buy and sell them all the time. So if you are looking to sell for profit, check out car boot sales and have a look and just see what trainers people are selling.'
Sheer tops
But that's not all, as according to this Vinted user, mesh, embellished and sequin sheer tops do 'so well on Vinted.'
'It's specifically the brands, you know, Lipsy, Miss Selfridge, old New Look - those sorts of brands are doing really well.
'Make sure you do your research - don't just sell it for £2,' she voiced.
Crochet items
Similarly, if you've got crochet items you haven't worn in years, you'll need to get uploading them quick.
Chloe claimed that 'anything crochet,' including bags and ponchos, will sell fast.
Why I hate Vinted, a real-life view
Fabulous Associate Editor Sarah Barns opens up on why she hates Vinted:
It's the king of second-hand fashion but I hate Vinted.
There I said it. Yes, it stops items going into landfill. Yes, it helps create additional side-hustle income for many.
And yes, you can get things at bargain prices. But it is just not my (shopping) bag.
From personal experience, I've bought 'cheap' bundles of children's clothes only for them to arrive dirty and misshapen.
Plus, with postage and buyer protection they didn't feel like such a great deal. I much prefer going to my local charity shop or supermarket for kids' stuff.
I've also bought more premium high-street items - a dress from Arket and a skirt from Cos - only to find they didn't fit properly and the colours were faded.
I attempted a bout of selling stuff but gave up after my £110 Veja trainers got lost in the post and I spent two hours on the phone to Royal Mail.
A major gripe with it is that it still encourages you to spend, spend, spend. I'm not sure I needed the items I did purchase, I just didn't want to miss out.
Also, the reselling of fast-fashion items - a £5 Shein top on Vinted for £17.50 - makes me feel a bit queasy.
Clothes shopping has become a daily hobby for a lot of people when really it should be something that's done once or twice a year as a necessity.
But the 18 million Vinted app users clearly disagree with me.
She acknowledged: 'People wear a lot of crochet items just as a little cover up for holiday and festivals and things.
'I'll add some ponchos to my favourites and they sell so quickly.
'Specifically ones from Per Una, old Marks & Spencer, those sorts of brands."
Silk items from Monsoon
Finally, Chloe revealed that anything silk from Monsoon is sure to make you cash fast.
She concluded: 'Anything that is Monsoon that is silk - I have sold so much of this.
I wish I'd kept all of my extremely noughties clothes now
TikTok user
'I think I've sold about five silk Monsoon items within the last month, it does really, really well - specifically little cami tops and dresses.
'Make sure you check your labels, because nine times out of 10 people don't realise that they are silk and then someone else gets a bargain, looks, sees that it's silk and then puts it on for double the price.'
Social media users react
The TikTok clip, which was posted under the username @chloe_chandlerx, has clearly left many open-mouthed, as it has quickly racked up 101,500 views, 1,282 likes and 146 comments.
Social media users were thankful for Chloe's advice and raced to the comments to express this.
One person said: 'Great advice, I have a few Jane Norman dresses to list.'
Another added: 'Yep I put an asymmetrical maxi skirt out and it sold really quickly.'
A third commented: 'I wish I'd kept all of my extremely noughties clothes now.'
Meanwhile, a Vinted beginner beamed: 'New to Vinted. Loving everyone's tips, thank you.'

Iconic UK fashion chain River Island is at risk of collapse without creditor support 33 stores are set to close by January 2026 – full list of locations revealed below The brand is seeking rent cuts, debt write-offs, and an emergency loan to survive Hundreds of jobs are at risk as the retailer battles falling sales and rising costs Online store and remaining branches continue trading while rescue plan is decided An iconic UK fashion giant is teetering on the edge of collapse, with 33 stores set to close and hundreds of jobs at risk unless creditors approve drastic action. River Island has been battling falling sales, mounting debts, and the relentless rise of fast fashion competitors, and store closures will hit high streets across the UK, including in Brighton, Oxford, Norwich, and Leeds. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad But it's not just job losses and store closures shoppers need to worry about – the River Island brand could vanish entirely. That's unless landlords and creditors vote in favour of a restructuring plan that includes rent cuts of up to 75%, debt write-offs, and a last-ditch emergency loan from the billionaire Lewis family, who have owned the company since it was founded in 1948. If River Island disappears, it would mark the end of an era for many shoppers who have turned to the chain for affordable fashion for decades. (Photo: DANIEL LEAL/AFP via Getty Images) | AFP via Getty Images Why is River Island struggling? Once a cornerstone of British high streets, River Island has been hammered by a perfect storm of rising costs, falling footfall, and online-only rivals offering fashion at rock-bottom prices. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad Chief executive Ben Lewis recently admitted that the company's physical footprint – with over 200 stores across the UK – was no longer in line with how customers shop, with a 'well-documented migration from the high street to online' forcing a major rethink. Accounts published earlier this year show the retailer made a £33.2 million pre-tax loss, with revenue dropping by 19% to £578.1 million. The situation is now so precarious that if the proposed plan fails to win 75% approval from creditors, the company warns it will have 'no option but to enter administration or other insolvency proceedings.' Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad Which River Island stores are closing? 33 River Island stores set to close - the affected shops are expected to remain open until January 2026, allowing the retailer to capitalise on peak trading before shutting their doors for good. The following River Island stores are earmarked for closure: Aylesbury Bangor, Bloomfield Barnstaple Beckton Brighton Burton-upon-Trent Cumbernauld Didcot Edinburgh, Princes Street Falkirk Gloucester Great Yarmouth Grimsby Hanley Hartlepool Hereford Kilmarnock Kirkcaldy Leeds, Birstall Park Lisburn Northwich Norwich Oxford Perth Poole Rochdale St Helens Stockton-on-Tees Surrey Quays Sutton Coldfield Taunton Workington Wrexham Online shopping and other stores are still operating as normal, and customers can continue to shop and redeem gift cards for now. But the longer-term future of the brand may depend on what happens in the High Court next week, where the fate of the restructuring plan will be decided.

Exact time you should schedule interview to get the job of your dreams revealed by scientists
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) SCIENTISTS have revealed the exact time your should schedule a job interview to secure the job of your dreams. After studying over 100,000 oral exams at Italian universities, researchers identified a specific two-hour window when success rates were highest. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 1 The reasons behind this midday advantage are thought to involve biological rhythms Credit: Getty Midday, between 11am and 1pm, appears to be the ideal time for interviews, while early morning and late afternoon sessions tend to be less promising. Professor Carmelo Vicario, director of the Cognitive Neuroscience lab at the University of Messina in Sicily, said: "Students were more likely to pass in late morning compared to early morning or late afternoon. "We believe this pattern could extend to job interviews or any evaluative process scheduled throughout the day." Professor Alessio Avenanti of the University of Bologna, a co-author of the study, said: "These findings have wide-ranging implications." The reasons behind this midday advantage are thought to involve biological rhythms. Candidates may perform better during this time, while assessors - whether examiners or interviewers - could feel sharper and even more generous after meal breaks or earlier sessions. Previous studies have highlighted similar patterns, including research showing judges are more likely to deliver lenient decisions after meal breaks than later in the day. The UK job market is highly competitive, with an average of 48.7 people applying for each job, according to recruitment software firm Tribepad. Despite this, employers typically only interview around six candidates per vacancy. This makes it essential to prepare thoroughly and stand out to secure your spot and succeed in the interview. Living wage working family react to the Spring Statement How else can I boost my chances? To improve your chances of success in a UK job interview, there are several strategies to consider beyond simply timing your interview well. Fortunately, the recruitment site has shared its top tips to help you prepare. Follow along so you can smash that next interview. Do your homework First, thoroughly research the company to avoid appearing unprepared, as nearly half of hiring managers are put off by candidates who lack knowledge about the organisation. Study the company's website, recent news, mission, and values. Plus, ensure you fully understand the role by reviewing the job description and preparing to align your skills and experience with the job requirements, as failing to do so is a common reason for interview failure. Prepare and practice Preparation and practice are key to building confidence. Anticipate common questions such as "Why do you want this job?" and "Why are you leaving your current role?" Use the STAR method (Situation, Task, Action, Result) to structure your answers to competency-based questions clearly and effectively. Practising your responses will help you deliver them with clarity and confidence during the interview. Master your communication Communication plays a crucial role in making a strong impression. Your body language should convey confidence, with good posture and consistent eye contact. Actively listen to the interviewer to ensure your answers are relevant and show genuine engagement. Speak clearly and remain calm, taking a moment to think before responding if needed. Engage in two-way conversation Engaging in a two-way conversation is another way to leave a positive impression. Prepare questions about the role, team dynamics, and company culture to demonstrate your interest. Avoid asking about salary or benefits during the initial interview. Using the interviewer's name during the conversation can help build rapport and create a more personal connection. Keep it professional Professionalism is essential throughout the process. Dress appropriately in smart business attire if you are unsure of the dress code. Arriving 10-15 minutes early shows punctuality, as being late is often seen as a red flag. And be polite to everyone you encounter, from the receptionist to the interviewer, as your conduct with others can influence the overall assessment. Consider following up Finally, consider following up after the interview with a thank-you note. While this is not a guaranteed way to secure the job, a personalised thank-you email or note can tip the scales in your favour if the decision is between two strong candidates. It demonstrates professionalism and reiterates your interest in the role.

Major Scots construction firm set to plunge into liquidation
The was formed back in 2016 and worked in construction of commercial buildings GONE BUST Major Scots construction firm set to plunge into liquidation Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A MAJOR Scottish construction firm is set to go into liquidation. Pittsburgh Fife Limited, based in the coastal town of Dalgety Bay, is on the brink of collapse. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up A petition was presented at Dunfermline Sheriff Court on July 14 for the company to close up and a liquidator to be appointed, the Dunfermline Press reports. This was then submitted by the Advocate General for Scotland for and on behalf of the Commissioners for HM Revenue and Customs. Liquidation is a legal process where a company's assets are sold to pay off its debts. It also ultimately leads to the company's closure and dissolution. The process essentially consists of winding up a company's affairs. Pittsburgh Fife Limited was formed back in 2016 and worked in construction of commercial buildings. The address for the company was given as 3 St David's Business Park, Dalgety Bay. Any parties claiming an interest were asked to contact the court within eight days. It is unknown how many employees have been affected. The Dalgety Bay company is the latest construction firm to collapse. Edinburgh Cybersecurity Giant Adarma Collapses with 173 Jobs Lost In April, dozens of workers have lost their jobs after a long-established Scottish painting and decorating firm went bust. All 32 staff members at the Lanarkshire-based business were made redundant after the company entered administration. And in May, a Scottish firm has plunged into administration after 41 years with over 20 jobs lost. Hospital Pipeline Installations Limited (HPI) in Paisley plunged into administration due to a 'marked downturn' in trade, rising operating costs and low-margin contracts.
