'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.

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.
'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 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.'

European second-quarter corporate profits expected to fall 0.3%
July 22 (Reuters) - The outlook for European corporate health has slightly improved, the latest earnings forecasts showed on Tuesday, despite continued uncertainty over global trade and the European Union preparing for counter-measures against any major U.S. tariffs. European companies are expected to report a drop of 0.3% in second-quarter earnings, on average, according to LSEG I/B/E/S data. That is slightly above the 0.7% fall analysts expected a week ago. Forecasts for Europe-wide STOXX 600 (.STOXX), opens new tab company earnings have steadily worsened since U.S. President Donald Trump announced plans for "reciprocal" tariffs in February. Analysts expected second-quarter earnings to increase 9.1% year-on-year right before the announcement, according to the data. The consensus forecast for second-quarter revenue, on the other hand, has continued to weaken, the LSEG report showed, with analysts now expecting a 3.1% fall versus a 3.0% drop last week. That would be the worst quarterly performance in more than a year. A year ago, STOXX 600 companies on average delivered a 3.0% increase in second-quarter earnings and a 0.8% drop in revenues. This earnings season will highlight how Trump's tariff threats are affecting European companies, as many of them scramble to minimise risks and prepare strategies to counter uncertainty. Italian-listed Stellantis ( opens new tab said on Monday tariffs had already cost the auto group 300 million euros ($351 million) and pharma firm AstraZeneca (AZN.L), opens new tab announced plans to spend $50 billion expanding in the U.S. by 2030. Among sectors, the earnings of STOXX 600 technology firms are expected to increase 26.5% in the second quarter, while those of consumer cyclicals - auto, retail and entertainment companies - are forecast to shrink 23.6%, the LSEG data showed.

Elvis fans demand refunds as new show dubbed a ‘shambles'
Audience members for the new " Elvis Evolution" immersive experience in London have expressed significant disappointment, labelling the show "misleading" and "a shambles from start to finish". Attendees, who paid between £75 and £300 for tickets, expected a holographic Elvis performance but instead saw upscaled video footage, leading to accusations of being "mis-sold". Many fans, including those who purchased "Super VIP" packages, felt exploited and compared the experience to a low-budget production, with some leaving early or demanding refunds. Layered Reality, the show's producer, said that the concept evolved from its initial announcement, with a creative decision made not to mimic Elvis's performances directly but to use AI on archive footage. The show, running at ExCel London until December 2025, has received mixed reviews from critics, ranging from one-star for being "limp" to three-stars for being "enjoyable once accepted".

Three-quarters of small businesses will raise prices - yet nearly half are seeing profits shrink
A new survey among small and medium-sized businesses (SMEs) has found that a huge majority expect to be raising prices over the next year, with optimism split on whether they will survive or thrive amid challenging economic conditions. Business owners have been hit this year by raised National Insurance Contributions and a higher minimum wage, while a new pensions review could ultimately see them have to contribute more in the future as well. Meanwhile inflation from raw materials and higher energy costs have meant that their own prices have been on the increase, contributing to overall UK inflation levels. In addition, tariff uncertainty impacted those exporting to the US in the earlier part of the year before a trade deal was agreed. It all amounts to a difficult backdrop for companies this year, with SMEs typically harder-hit than larger businesses when consumer spending drops. Unsurprisingly, that means shoppers can expect to see another price hike coming in many places across the rest of 2025 and beyond, as detailed in a report by Simply Business, an insurance firm representing close to a million SMEs across the UK. A massive three-quarters (74 per cent) of more than 2,300 business owners surveyed said they'll need to raise prices in the coming year, an increase from the two-thirds who said so in 2024. More than three in five (63 per cent) businesses anticipate raising prices up to 20 per cent, but only 2 per cent expect prices to decrease in the coming 12 months. Despite those price increases, the businesses are not making more money. Nearly half (44 per cent) see profits decreasing in 2025, with fewer than two in five (17 per cent) expecting to see a rise in profits. Almost as many (16 per cent) say their profits will go down by more than a quarter. High street at stake An ongoing trend has been concerns about the long term future of the UK high street. Smaller businesses are increasingly despondent about its future, with a huge 82 per cent of SMEs saying their local high street has declined, 74 per cent saying shopper numbers are down and nearly two-thirds - 63 per cent - believing the notion of the national high street will be obsolete within ten years. As a result of this, more than a third of small business owners (37 per cent) are considering selling up or closing their doors this year for good. Government support is needed, the majority feel, to ensure a turnaround. Fewer 'chains' and more independent shops are seen as the best way to aid a reversal of fortunes, with free or cheap parking and more events of wider options of things to do also high on the list. The survey further revealed a quarter of small business owners expected to have to use their savings to prop up their business - yet despite these apparent hardships, more than half, 57 per cent, still feel optimism about their business' future. That is backed up by figures showing the number of new businesses registered in the first three months of this year was up almost 3 per cent compared to the same time last year.
