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.

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. Advertisement '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. Advertisement 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 @ Social media users were thankful for Chloe's advice and raced to the comments to express this. Advertisement 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.'
