How to Find Discount Urban Clothing
While urban clothing brands like Ecko Unlimited, Apple Bottoms, RocaWear, and Baby Phat give fashionable clothes a little street flair, they can also be expensive. Not only are you paying for a well-made item, but you're also paying for that all-important brand name and the street clout that the name garners. If you want the luxe look for less dough, then you'll need to look for ways to find discount urban clothing. You can still wear the trends without emptying out your bank account.

1
Find a consignment shop in your area that specializes in brand-name clothing. There are national consignment shop chains that deal in this niche market. You can see if you have one in your area by consulting a phone book, and calling to see what type of clothes the consignment shops buy. Ask specifically for typical brand names.

Gather together some of the older, gently used, brand name clothing that you don't wear anymore. If the consignment shop that you're going to only deals in urban brands, then they'll be looking for brands like Ecko Unlimited, Apple Bottoms, G-Unit, LRG, Akademics, Rocawear, and Sean John.

Assess the clothing that you've gathered and make sure that none of the items have rips, holes, stains, or obvious signs of use. While a thrift store will generally take all donations, a consignment shop will only pay for good items, meaning better quality for you.

Bring your used clothing to the consignment shop. An employee will go through the clothing and assign each item a price that they could potentially sell it at. He or she will then offer you a percentage of that retail price in cash or a percentage in store credit. The store credit percentage will be much higher than the cash. Agree to the store credit.

Shop around the store. You'll find all of of your favorite urban-clothing brands at a deep discount, sometimes up to 70 percent off. Choose the items that you want, and then pay for the items using the store credit you received for trading in your old clothes. You'll find that the discount tied in with your store credit makes your new clothes extremely affordable, while still being the best urban brands.
