The 4 most popular pieces on Vinted at the moment

It's official: we are now fully into the season of big sweaters, layers of clothing, and coats that ruin the delicate outfit we had carefully put together (trigger warning: childhood trauma of being a budding fashionista with a Halloween costume ruined by a big puffer coat to stay warm while trick-or-treating). Yet, the most frequent Vinted searches are far from being for "oversized Lenny Kravitz scarves" or "ugly grandpa sweaters as long as they're warm". Fashion enthusiasts seem unfazed by the cold (or not feeling cold at all), as the most popular items on the resale platform are stylish pieces that allow any fashion lover to enjoy the season in color without succumbing to seasonal depression. Without further ado, here are the four pieces that will bring joy to fashion wardrobes this winter.

The Bubble Skirt

Winter doesn’t necessarily mean corduroy pants and heavy joggers, as the bubble skirt seems ready to stick around against all odds, with a 226% increase in searches. Last year, the long denim skirt was in vogue, but Miu Miu, Coperni, and Proenza Schouler have ensured the puff skirt takes the top spot. Whether long or short, white or black, paired with boots or loafers, its versatility is likely to keep it in our wardrobes for quite some time.

The Suede Jacket

Perfect for channeling our inner Lorelai Gilmore and enjoying a stroll under autumn leaves (chai latte break included), the suede jacket remains a timeless piece that wins fashion lovers' hearts year after year. This year, its searches on Vinted have risen by 239%. Here too, the options are diverse: fringed or plain, trench or blazer style, paired with an all-black outfit or jeans, the suede jacket always works.

The Cardigan

Here too, the magic of the Miu Miu girl has worked its charm. Because while autumn used to be synonymous with oversized hoodies, a messy bun, and Ugg boots, the office siren aesthetic has changed the game. Searches for cardigans on Vinted have increased by 93%, driven by a desire to show up at the office looking sharp yet casual, just like the models at the FW23 ready-to-wear collection show with a cardigan, sleek bun, and glasses.

Leopard Print

The latest trend to see a surge in searches on Europe’s most popular vintage platform isn’t a specific item but rather a pattern: leopard print. With a +161% increase in searches, the leopard print establishes itself as the season's go-to motif—comforting yet sexy without veering into vulgarity. A classic from Dolce&Gabbana, it was especially prominent this season at fashion houses like Valentino, Alaïa, and Dior, completely shedding its kitschy reputation. Although it may be a bit less versatile than its counterparts, just a touch can completely transform an outfit's aesthetic. Paired with a bubble skirt, suede jacket, and cardigan—all found vintage at bargain prices—and you're all set.
