Mornings are getting cooler, sweaters are coming back out of closets, and your stock of t-shirts is starting to feel less season-appropriate. If you're looking for which clothes to sell on Vinted for fall-winter, fleeces, knitwear, sweatshirts, and jackets are great starting points.
The right choice also depends on your customer base and the pieces you know how to sell. A sportswear-oriented shop and a selection of chunky knits will each have their own needs. Here is how to prepare seasonal stock without buying a bit of everything at random.
Which clothes to choose for your fall-winter stock?
1. Branded fleeces
A zip-up fleece can be worn on its own during the mid-season, then under a jacket when it gets colder. It’s an interesting piece for an outdoor or sportswear-focused shop, with both understated models and colorful versions available.
Patagonia, The North Face, and Columbia are brands to watch. When choosing your pieces, be sure to check the condition of the material, the functionality of the zippers, and the fit. A fleece with heavily flattened elbows requires appropriate presentation and pricing.
You can find these categories in our collection of wholesale branded vintage fleeces.
2. Wool sweaters and vintage knitwear
Cable-knit Irish sweaters, crew necks, patterned knits: this category allows you to vary styles within the same shop. A solid-colored sweater can complement a classic selection, while a chunky textured knit or a "grandpa sweater" will give a more retro vibe.
Take the time to read the labels. The composition is useful information for the buyer, just like the size and measurements. Photograph it, then specify the materials in the listing.
To build a selection centered on this material, take a look at our vintage wool sweater box. Its assortment varies depending on arrivals.
3. Sweatshirts and hoodies
Sweatshirts easily find their place in a mid-season stock: they can be worn with jeans, sweatpants, or under a jacket. Crew necks, hoods, embroidered logos, or collegiate prints offer quite different styles.
Check the cuffs, the collar, and the bottom of the garment. Stretched-out ribbed edges or heavily cracked prints must be visible in the photos. If your customers are already into sportswear, you can expand this category with our vintage sweatshirts and sweaters.
4. Jackets and coats
A light jacket and a thick coat are not prepared the same way for sale. For the latter, make sure you have room to store, photograph, and pack it. Also, check the lining, pockets, buttons, and zippers.
Choose your pieces according to your shop's style: a leather jacket, an outdoor jacket, and a classic coat don't necessarily appeal to the same buyers. Our collection of wholesale vintage jackets and coats allows you to see the different selections offered.
5. Flannel shirts
Flannel bridges the gap between two seasons. Worn open over a t-shirt or under a jacket, it complements a selection of sweatshirts and jeans well. Thickness matters: a light shirt and a winter flannel will not serve the same purpose.
For a warmer selection, check out our winter flannel shirt box. In your listings, show the fabric up close and provide the width under the armpits to help the buyer envision the fit.
When to prepare your fall and winter listings?
Anticipate the time between ordering stock and putting it up for sale. You need to receive the pieces, check them, prepare them if necessary, take photos, and write the listings.
Start with mid-season clothing, then add thicker pieces as temperatures drop. Weather varies by region, so keep your selection somewhat flexible.
Once you’ve made your first sales, note the categories, sizes, and price ranges that work for your shop. These results will be more useful for your next purchase than a long list of general trends.
Which box should you choose to get started?
If you want to try several categories, our branded and vintage winter clothing box offers an assortment by weight. The product description indicates approximately 20 pieces for 10 kg, with the number varying depending on the weight of the garments. A batch containing more coats will be different from a batch composed of lighter pieces.
If you already know your specialty, a box by category allows you to stay more focused. And if you prefer to see the contents before ordering, our video clothing batches showcase the pieces in the specific batch.
In any case, start with a quantity you can realistically photograph and list online. Stock that is still in a box doesn't teach you much about what your customers like.
Take care of the details that matter in a listing
For every garment, provide a front view, a back view, and close-ups of the label, material, and any defects. Add measurements taken flat: the size indicated on a vintage piece isn't always enough to understand its fit.
A precise title also helps: "Columbia Blue Zip-up Fleece Size L" immediately gives useful information, provided it matches the piece well. To go deeper into photos, descriptions, and pricing, you can read our article on reselling vintage clothing on Vinted.
FAQ – Selling clothes in fall-winter
Which category should you choose with a small budget?
Start with a category you know and compare the cost of the batch to the number of pieces advertised. Also, consider shipping costs, preparation, and available space. The smallest batch suited to your customers might be enough for a first try.
Should you only offer big brands?
You can also work with cuts, materials, and patterns. A well-presented cable-knit or flannel shirt can have its place in your shop even without a well-known logo.
Is it better to buy by weight or by the piece?
By the piece, you know the number of clothes you will get. By weight, this number varies with their heft. Our guide on buying vintage clothes by weight explains this process in detail.
Prepare a stock that reflects your style
Keep a core of pieces you know how to sell, then test one or two new categories. This will allow you to adjust your purchases throughout the season without filling your stock with clothes that are too far removed from your customers' preferences.
