But while your items may be gorgeous, there's not always a guarantee you'll be able to sell them.
Luckily, there's still an easy way to give your wardrobe a mega clearout - and get £5 vouchers in the process.
This is thanks to H&M Garment Collecting & Recycling scheme.
The way it works is straightforward too - simply hand in a full bag of unwanted clothes from any brand at the tills in the store and you can get a voucher giving you £5 off when you spend at least £25.
One person who recently took advantage of the incredible offer is Holly Grace, 25, who shared the process on TikTok.
''I had loads of unwanted clothes that I wanted to get rid of and couldn't sell at the boot fair,'' she said in the video.
''So I decided to bag up my clothes and take them to H&M where you can get a £5 voucher for every bag that you take in.''
What's more, she told fellow fashionistas on the platform, shoppers can do this up to a whopping six times every month - saving themselves a fortune.
The scheme is great if you've been eyeing up a more expensive garment, such as a stylish autumn coat, and want to slash the bill a little.
H&M takes the textiles and recycles them into other products such as cleaning cloths.
Fashion lovers rush to M&S to snap up perfect pumps that are 'so pretty' for summer - and they come in various colours to match your vibe
Clothing in better condition could end up being marketed as second-hand clothing.
When dropping off the unwanted goods, there's no need to limit yourself to just H&M garments - these can be by any brand.
''I took Primark PJs, unbranded joggers,'' Holly said in the clip.
''You basically just have to download the app and present your carrier bags and then they'll do it for you at the till.
''They scan your little QR code on the Members side of the app- and then the vouchers will literally go straight on there.''
How to look chic on a budget
Fashion stylist Gemma Rose Breger, and beauty journalist Samantha Silver revealed how you can make your outfits elevated without spending hundreds of pounds. Don't ever spend on designer denim: River Island ''always has such a great selection of fashion-forward jeans that follow the current trends''. The high street retailer offers a great range of sizes to fit UK 6 - UK 18, and three leg lengths - and prices start from an affordable £25. There are no rules for jewels: ''Pick up something at a car boot sale, or charity shop, scroll on Vinted & eBay, snap up something from the clothing section in your local supermarket when doing the food shop or check out high street clothing stores.'' Don't forget the pre-loved sites: With a rising number of second-hand sites, such as Vinted and Depop, there's no excuse for not buying - or selling - pre-loved garments. Gemma, for instance, has managed to get her hands on chic Chanel sunnies for a mere £17.
This means that every time you spend £25 or more shopping at the retailer, you'll get £5 off - which you can use in-store and online.
However, it's worth noting that some customers have warned you can only use one voucher per purchase - and they also expire.
Holly wrote in the caption: ''Yes, I also have bags full for the charity shop.''
The clip has taken the internet by storm, winning the H&M fan a whopping 12k views in just one day.
One person claimed that there's a rival store that runs a similar scheme.
''River Island does this also.''
Someone else chimed in: ''I'm not sure if still valid but if you make a new account you get £5 voucher too.''
