Thrifting is a great way to find quality coats and boots without overspending, so you can stay warm and cozy while you explore. Deseret Industries even has new coats available to purchase as an option.

Dress It Up for Special Nights 

Vacations often include a nice dinner out or a special event, but you don’t need to splurge on a brand-new outfit to look your best. Thrifting is a smart, budget‑friendly way to elevate your evening look. 

Women: 
Browse the dress racks for elegant options suited to any occasion. From cocktail dresses to flowy maxi dresses, there’s always something unique waiting to be found. Pair your look with a thrifted blazer, wrap, or cardigan, add a statement necklace or earrings to polish off your evening style, or sport a new bag for the occasion. You can create a complete, elevated outfit for a fraction of what it would cost new. 

Men: 
For men, Deseret Industries is a great place to find sharp, evening‑ready pieces. Look for dress shirts in crisp whites or bold colors, tailored slacks, or even lightly worn suits and sport coats. Pair a classic button‑up with a thrifted tie or pocket square to add personality without the high price tag. If you’re heading somewhere more relaxed, a nice polo or linen shirt with chinos can still deliver a dressed‑up feel, perfect for a night out. 

Accessories for Added Style 

Whether you’re headed to the beach or strolling through a new city, accessories can elevate your vacation outfits with very little effort. To round out your vacation outfits, keep an eye out for these other accessories: 

• Hats: From sun hats to fedoras, a great hat adds both style and function to your vacation wardrobe. Browse Deseret Industries for wide‑brimmed options that offer sun protection, sporty caps for outdoor adventures, or trendy styles that add personality to any vacation outfit. 

• Bags and Totes: Vacation calls for versatile bags. Look for crossbodies for hands-free exploring, straw totes for the beach, or small backpacks for day trips. Thrifted bags add style without breaking your travel budget. 

• Sunglasses: Whether you’re looking for classic aviators or oversized statement frames, you can find gently used sunglasses that instantly upgrade any outfit and offer added sun protection. 

• Jackets, Hoodies, or Cardigans: Weather can be unpredictable when you travel, so pack a few layers. Look for lightweight items like jackets, hoodies, or cardigans to put on if it gets chilly or the weather shifts. Deseret Industries often has versatile options that pack easily and pair well with any outfit. 

• Jewelry: Lightweight jewelry is perfect for travel. Shop for simple hoops, layered necklaces, or colorful bracelets that match multiple outfits. And don’t be afraid to branch out with a new style! Because of the low cost, you can afford to try something different. 

• Scarves and Wraps: A scarf can double as a beach cover-up, hair accessory, or even a wrap for cooler evenings. 

• Belts: A good belt can transform a dress, define your waist, or give a simple outfit new structure. 

These small additions take up hardly any suitcase space—but they make a big difference when you want to freshen up your vacation look.

Shoes That Go the Distance 

Shoes can make or break your trip. Having a comfortable pair for walking around and exploring places or finding a stylish option for a night out can make your vacation even more enjoyable. 

At Deseret Industries, you’ll find gently used sneakers, sandals, dress shoes, and more. Look for quality brands that offer comfort and durability. Many of the shoes found at Deseret Industries are in like-new condition, though even shoes with a few scuffs can look like new with a quick clean or polish.

Why Thrift for Vacation Clothes? 

Thrift shopping isn’t just affordable, it’s also eco-friendly. Buying secondhand items reduces waste and gives items a second life. Plus, you’ll find unique pieces that make your vacation style stand out.
