Now that summer is well underway, we're already looking ahead to next season. We're certainly not wishing our lives away, but getting ahead in the outfit department can only ever be a good thing, right?
That means taking stock of what we already own and making a note of the areas in which our wardrobes are currently lacking.
Granted, our current list of lust is as long as our arm, but investing in a few key pieces is more easily achieved when you have a bit of cash to spare.

Hello! Fashion shares the best places to sell your clothes online:
Cudoni
The fashion insider's not-so secret weapon Cudoni is super convenient if you're pressed for time. Developed to turn the traditional resale model on its head, it does all the hard work for you. You don't have to take the photos yourself, calculate a price or even nip down the post office. The lazy girl's resale dream.
Vestiaire Collective
Vestiaire Collective, great for selling pre-loved designer pieces, is super simple – all you need to do is upload a photo, add a brief description and the site actually recommends a data-driven price. Plus, if you're looking to raise some quick funds, there is a buyer-seller chat function that can be used to negotiate a price. They even offer pre-paid shipping labels to make your life that bit easier.
Reluxe
Reluxe is all about the bespoke approach – its styling team offers in-person or virtual appointments to assess whether your pieces are suitable depending on how many items you are looking to sell. Then you simply post your items to Reluxe and they organise the listing and your bank account reaps the rewards.

Vinted
Vinted ought to be your first port of call if you're looking to sell pre-loved high street or mid-range pieces. The vibe is defo more DIY than some of the slicker sites dedicated to designer resale, but it is still super straightforward. There are even options to boost your wardrobe's visibility and offer a discount for bundles if you're staging a sartorial mass exodus.
Cocoon
Bag specialist Cocoon is the members' club you didn't even know you wanted to be a part of. If you have a penchant for killer arm candy, you might want to consider signing up to its bag rental subscription service. Accessory aficionados, listen up. If you sell your pre-loved treasures with Cocoon you can earn cash as well as credit towards your membership.
Reselfridges
Selfridges' resale service is an excellent option if you know you're looking to invest in another treasure either in-store or online as you sell your pre-loved bag in exchange for credit. There is a list of accepted brands – suffice to say they're on the upper end of the designer spectrum – all you need to do is upload images, receive a quote, schedule a collection date and enjoy spending your Selfridges credit.
Depop
Gen Z-adored Depop is a great shout if you're looking to sell high street, mid-range and in some cases even designer pieces. Afghan coats, cowboy boots, silk cami tops and anything monogrammed will be gladly welcomed by the app's super savvy (and stylish) clientele.
