People shop at a pop-up market with secondhand Husker shirts outside in the Railyard

Clothing and accessories are a fun way to show your personality and step outside of the box and try something new — and you can’t go wrong with a thrifted piece. Not only does each article tell a story, but no two pieces are alike. Plus, it’s more sustainable for the environment. That makes for a win, win and another win. Here are a few places around Lincoln to guide your next thrifting adventure.

Ruby Begonia’s

Located just a few blocks from campus, this hidden gem is filled with everything you need, and some things you may not know you needed. From statement sunglasses, timeless essentials and accessories to complete every outfit, Ruby Begonia’s has you covered.

Prelude

Looking for trendy pieces? Look no further than Prelude. This secondhand shop is stocked with preloved name brands for clothing, accessories and the latest sneakers. Even better, the shop also has vintage Husker gear for game day, class and your weekend comfies.

Great Plains Vintage

A tried-and-true staple in Lincoln, Great Plains Vintage is known for having Husker gear for everyone. From sweet 90s windbreakers to t-shirts and sweatshirts from the championship years, there is nothing like rocking a good throwback piece.

Goodwill

It is a no-brainer that so many treasures lie between the racks at Goodwill. There are a few locations in and around Lincoln that are worth sorting through for whatever your heart desires. One of the perks of shopping at Goodwill (beyond the great finds for even better prices) is there’s more than clothing and accessories. Be sure to check out their kitchenware, home decor and other essentials.

The Bay Art & Thrift

Make room in your calendars! The Bay Art & Thrift is the perfect after-class or Friday pick-me-up for you and your friends. This inclusive space is open to a wide variety of local vendors with handpicked finds to complete your wardrobe.
