Thrifting is so important for queer folk. Especially if you’re trans, because your body is constantly changing. It’s the nexus of affirming your gender and finding its physical expression.  

I love to thrift because it’s like a time capsule and you never know what you’re going to find. Most importantly, it specifically defies trending by including everything. A sort of roll of the dice.

What makes you want to thrift? Let us know with our new 3 look Thrift Challenge:

Go to a thrift store. Create 3 looks with things you find in the store, using items from the outfit you came with if you like. Send us photos and tell us why you love to thrift! Email: submissions@qwearfashion.com

Thanks to Buffalo Exchange and @ApexDyke for style tips!
