New shoppers will make up 60% of “incremental secondhand” spending four years from now, the report added, with a strong majority being younger generations (ages 18-44) at 68% of shoppers.

Generation Z has embraced the idea of thrifting purchases, finding clothing or other items that stand out to them and that are often at a good price.

The top five reasons for buying secondhand items, according to the ThredUp report are as follows:

▪️To get better deals
▪️The thrill of the hunt
▪️To afford higher-end brands
▪️It’s better for the planet
▪️To find one-of-a-kind looks

New Jersey, with its dense population, has a good number of vintage and thrift shops, throughout its South, Central and North regions. Hours and days of operation do vary by location, so check ahead and plan accordingly.
