Wisdom Kaye, TikTok’s Best Dressed Star, Shares His Tips for Shopping Secondhand

The TikTok star dishes on his tips and tricks for scoring vintage goods online….

Below, Vogue asked Kaye his tips and tricks for scoring secondhand goods online—and what his favorite find of all time is. (Trust us, it’s good.)

1. What are your top 3 tips for successfully shopping secondhand online? 

Always inspect the item carefully in the pictures provided. Secondhand clothing can be worn, so you want to make sure that whatever you’re getting is at a level of wear that you’re comfortable with. Message your seller if you have questions! The cool part about secondhand is that you get to directly talk to the person selling an item that you’re interested in. So if you have questions of fit, wear, or price, you can inquire before you make your move. [Lastly], explore. Shopping secondhand gives you the ability to access pieces from so many different periods in time—there’s so much out there. Maybe you’re used to rocking ’80s style clothing, but don’t be afraid to look at pieces from the ’70s or ’60s too. Secondhand it gives you access to that and you might find different styles you didn’t know you liked. 

2. What is a common mistake to avoid when shopping secondhand? 

Not contacting your seller. Sometimes you might get an item and it doesn’t fit the way you expect. This can be avoided if you message your seller for said specifics, this way you know exactly what you’re getting. 

3. What has been exciting you about fashion in general lately?

I’m always very excited by bold silhouettes and patterns. I love when pieces look like actual art, something you could see in an installation at a museum.

4. What has been one of your favorite secondhand finds ever? 

My favorite secondhand find has to be the French 60mm Chelsea boot from the Saint Laurent fall 2015 collection. This is personally one of my favorite collections from Saint Laurent under Hedi Slimane, so being able to acquire something from this season is really cool. 

5. What trends or pieces will you be wearing this winter?

I’ll definitely be experimenting with new silhouettes this winter, and probably try to get into styling puffer jackets. It doesn’t really get too cold where I live, but I’m just gonna wear them anyway.

6. What do you think will be the next big TikTok trend? How do you see fashion evolving on the app?

Fashion on TikTok is controlled by the youth and there’s a primary focus on streetwear, loose/baggy silhouettes, and minimal color pallets. People on this side of fashion understand that they don’t need to pay a lot of money to achieve this style, which is why I think it’s so popular. As a result, a lot of people have been exposed to the concepts of thrifting and shopping secondhand. I think no matter what, affordability will always be the driving force. TikTok is primarily for young people, so not everyone has $1,000 to spend on a jacket, especially if they can get a similar one secondhand.

A$AP Rocky Turned An Entire Manchester City Kit Into His Album Rollout

A$AP Rocky doesn’t do album rollouts quietly, and this one recruited an entire Premier League club to help. Manchester City, PUMA, and Rocky teamed up on a limited apparel run tied to “Don’t Be Dumb,” his 2026 album, timed around his September 5th show at Co-op Live.

The centerpiece is a long-sleeve PUMA King jersey in black and archive gold, with “DON’T BE DUMB” running down the sleeve and AWGE branding worked in throughout. A bold “MANCHESTER” graphic covers the back. Fans could also add limited “A$AP 11” name-and-number printing onto the club’s actual Home, Away, or Third kits, while supplies lasted at retail.

There’s a players-only version too, and it never went up for sale. That one sticks closer to City’s usual sky-blue identity, with its own sleeve detailing and back graphic — the kind of piece that exists purely because a handful of people got lucky.

The whole rollout kicked off with a one-night pop-up on September 4th, when PUMA turned a spot in Manchester’s Northern Quarter into a pop-up cafe for the night, mixing football, music, and street style into one room before the wider release hit the stadium store the next morning. Some of those jerseys even came with golden tickets to the concert or that Saturday’s match.

Rocky has called the project true to his own design language, and it’s not even his only club collaboration this cycle — a similar drop with AC Milan landed around the same time. At this point, the line between fashion week and matchday has basically disappeared.

Quavo And Lids Are Going All In On Atlanta With Their New Cap Pack

Quavo has never been shy about his hat obsession, and Lids just gave him another outlet for it. Their new “Atlanta” pack drops September 12th, marking another round in a partnership that’s been running strong since 2019.

The collection is a love letter to the city, spread across three very different caps. One mashes up pinstripes, script lettering, and Braves branding into a single design, working navy, red, white, and light blue into the mix. Another goes the opposite direction entirely — fully iced out in crystal detailing, done up in black and red, with both the Falcons and the Braves showing up in the design. The third strips things back to an old-school “ATL” trucker cap in red, white, and gold, the kind of understated piece that lets the city’s name do the talking.

None of this is new territory for Quavo. He’s talked before about waiting on hat releases as a kid, and that same excitement seems to be what’s kept this partnership going years past most celebrity collabs. His earlier Lids run leaned on one moment — the Braves’ 1995 World Series win — but this pack pulls from the city’s whole sports history instead of just one highlight.

Lids has called Quavo one of the rare voices who can blend music, fashion, and sports without it feeling forced, and this drop backs that up. Given how fast his past releases have moved, Atlanta might want to set an alarm for September 12th.
