On shopping habits...
I buy probably 80-90% of my clothes second hand through VC, Grailed, eBay etc.
My experience has been really good to be honest. I've never needed to return anything due to authenticity issues or unlisted damage/stains etc. In fact I've never actually returned anything... now and again I'll get something that doesn't quite fit but in that case I'll either have it adjusted, or pass it on to someone who I know will appreciate it.
Buying something high-end in a shop is pretty much unthinkable because prices are ludicrously high (UK) and I can do better things with the money.
I think that over time and with learned wisdom about how certain brands fit, what looks good on you, and how to spot a second hand item that's been cared for well, buying second hand is a great choice.
Also, always ask for measurements!
