GUIDE · MEN

Selling second-hand menswear.

Men shop differently: by brand, size, measurements. Here's how to cater for that.

In short

Menswear sells on brand, model name and measurements. Put both in the title, give pit to pit, length and sleeve, and name the material. Our recommendation: eBay for sought-after brands, outdoor and technical clothing, Vinted for everyday clothes. A worn image, on a dress form or as an AI try-on image, shows whether an item is a slim or regular fit.
