If you want to refresh your wardrobe without breaking the bank, we’ve got good news. You can buy like-new designer clothes for up to 90% on an online marketplace called ThredUp. Don’t worry about buying anything torn or ruined: The site has a strict set of quality standards for all the clothes it accepts.

In fact, ThredUp employs a team of fashion experts to go through all the clothes and approve them for sale. Clothing’s not all you can save money on, though. You can also find all sorts of shoes, purses and handbags on the site.

Imagine getting a Coach bag that’s as good as new for a huge discount. If you don’t mind buying or selling clothes in poor condition, though, you can head to auction sites like eBay that have looser quality standards.
