Second-hand clothes used to be considered outdated and out of fashion, but now vintage clothing has become a new trend. It is worn by fashion bloggers, stylists, and showbiz stars, and social media offers many tips on how to create a new and stylish wardrobe out of worn-out clothes. In addition to flea markets and thrift stores, you can also find your own “places of power” for shopping in major Ukrainian cities. Season shares a selection of such locations.
