Second Hand Clothes and Eclectic, Individual Style

There has recently been a bit of a trend for eclectic individual style, perhaps this is in part due to the rise in popularity of second hand and vintage clothing. It may well also be due to a huge number of other factors including increased fashion choice on the internet, the influence of celebrities, the recession and the infuence of fashion blogs.

This move from following trends to looking different and unique fits so well with wearing second hand clothing. You will find lots of styles of second hand clothing that is a little bit different to the ususal stuff that looks the same in the high street shops.

The move away from fast fashion due to ethical and environmental impacts has also made consumers aware that there is a heavy price to pay for keeping up with the latest trends.

The key to looking great with eclectic style is not so much about what you wear as how you wear it. Combining patterns, clashing colours and mixing different styles for example biker jackets with floral dresses are all great way to get your own unique style.
