Cheap Clothes NYC

The City Opera Thrift Shop is beautifully curated, as you might expect from a shop associated with an opera company. At this cheap clothes spot in NYC, you'll find duds suitable for the classical music scene as well as the night-time clubbing scene. There's a good selection of men's clothing and furniture that could transform your walk-up into a Park Avenue aerie. A smart place to pick up a bauble as a house gift for a snooty host.

Another cheap clothes NYC spot, St. Francis of Assisi is a complete jumble of a store with treasures to be found if you have the patience (or shall we say, fortitude) to hunt around. We've seen barely worn cashmere sweaters for $10 a pop and recently the racks of leather and suede garments held a light-as-a-feather shearling jacket for $22. The rummage room by the door stocks bins of clothing for $1 a piece. Bonus for bibliophiles: a room filled with used books.

Maybe you've just earned a promotion at work but your fancy new job is no match for your bank balance. Head on over to La Boutique Resale for cheap clothes NYC-style, where you can pick up high-end, title-worthy duds. There's a nice selection of separates, along with party dresses and attractive accessories. If Chanel is your thing, there is lots of it here; if not, you'll find a large selection of less-stuffy items.

Encore does it again and again. On that rare occasion when you need a formal gown, the gently-used items displayed here will tickle your fancy. Cheap clothes starts with a low of Ann Taylor and ascends through the high fashion stratosphere. You'll find Shoes and accessories on the second floor.
