EN: bought from a thrift store; secondhand
Your OOTD is from a place that smells like old people and mothballs, but you call it 'vintage' to sound classy. This is the art of 'ukay-ukay' where you find hidden gems for 50 pesos. If you say your whole outfit is thrifted, you're either broke but fashionable, or an environmentalist, or both. Welcome to the club!
From English 'thrift'. Popularized by the 'ukay-ukay' culture in the Philippines.
Primarily used by younger generations and in online contexts (social media, vlogs). Often used interchangeably with 'ukay'.
