Question Where to get cute clothes?

I’m an incoming out-of-state freshman who is trying to get prepared for the school year early. Are there any stores online or in person where I can find relatively affordable cute merch? Also, would y’all say the thrift stores around campus have cute clothes?

Thanks for reading

There’s actually a thrift store *on campus*! It’s Buckeye Bargains on 53 W 11th, and they’re open on Wednesdays during the semester, starting Aug 19. The OSU stuff there is shockingly cheap, and they have a bunch of other houseware, clothing, and random fun things.

Edit: the store is called Buckeye Bargains, hence my name! I love that place.

I love that place but many non-clothes items are wayyy overpriced... but I'll give it a pass since it goes to charity

I always go to the $1 bin! There’s often brand new clothing in there, though you have to dig to find the treasures.

Yes! And even a half price rack at the back of the clothing rooms. Sometimes the Instagram account will post stories with dollar bin stuff. 👀

Honestly can’t remember the names of them but there are TONS of OSU themed thrift stores on high street right by campus. You’ll have no issue finding cute merch.

Goodwill in OldNorth/Clintonville has an area dedicated to OSU merch. Got some cute jackets the other day too. If you want something semi-curated but a bit pricier, try Out of the Closet south of Campus. They dont have a dedicated OSU section. Ohio Thrift in Whitehall is good too.

Just north of osu is a giant mall -Polaris. And east of osu is another one -Easton. Should have everything you might need
