With winter beckoning, we’re all dashing to sweep puffer jackets from the shelves, bag boots in abundance – and those furry loafers from Zara? They’re already in our shopping basket.
But what if we told you that you could skip the lengthy queues that come hand in hand with the colder seasons? Yes, you can bid farewell to the shopping-induced chaos in one fell swoop. The answer? Vestiaire Collective.
In case you haven't heard of it, Vestiaire Collective is your new portal to easily buy and sell second-hand premium and designer fashion.
Every item sold on the site is checked by experts to make sure it's authentic and matches the seller's description before it is shipped to the buyer.
Brands featured on VC are the likes of Victoria Beckham, Prada, Chloe and Marc Jacobs – amongst many others.
You may even come across an item pre-worn by your favourite fashionistas – Emma Watson, Diane Kruger, Lena Dunham, Lupita Nyong'o, Keira Knightley, Chloe Sevigny or Olivia Palermo have all previously used the site to sell their clothes on.
And you can even receive £25 off using Grazia exclusive promo code VCXGRAZIA16.

1. Sunglasses
Just because it’s autumn doesn’t mean we don’t need a lust-worthy pair of sunglasses. These Dior oversize sunglasses won't break the bank and are effortlessly stylish.
2. Bags
The change in season also calls for a new bag. This beautiful Dior cloth handbag is the perfect accessory for autumn, and will add glamour to any outfit.
3. Jewellery
Well, you'll need some jewellery to go with your new wardrobe, won't you! We love this Roberto Cavalli bracelet. The black and gold cuff is sophisticated but with an edge, giving your look that something extra.
4. Coats and Jackets
As the weather gets cooler it's time to start layering up. This Dolce & Gabbana wool blazer is the perfect transitional piece, and at only £189.74 it's practically a steal.
5. Shoes and boots
Everyone needs a good pair of black boots when autumn rolls around, and balancing style with practicality has never been easier with the huge selection at VC. These Isabel Marant leather boots are the perfect purchase, so snap them up quick!
So to welcome the new season, we’ve handpicked the items guaranteed to make you look forward to winter (we promise):
