With the cost of living rising, more people are looking for simple ways to bring in extra cash, and reselling on Vinted has become one of the most popular side hustles. A Vinted reseller named Laura recently shared a set of February selling tips on TikTok, focusing on what shoppers tend to search for as winter starts to feel endless. Her advice is not about rare designer finds or complicated strategies, but about timing and the right keywords. The goal is to list items that match what buyers already have on their minds, then make sure your listing can actually be found.
Laura’s first recommendation is denim jackets, even though many places are still firmly in winter. She argues that by February and early March, people get tired of cold, rain, and heavy layers, so they start browsing for pieces that feel more like spring. In her video, she explains it plainly, saying, “By February and the beginning of March, people are generally tired of winter, the cold, and the rain, so they slowly start preparing for spring.” That shift in mood can create a fast moving pocket of demand for transitional outerwear that is lighter than a coat but still easy to layer.
She also suggests listing denim jackets early in the month rather than waiting for warmer days to arrive. Laura believes that getting ahead of that seasonal mindset is what makes the difference between a listing sitting for weeks and selling quickly. As she puts it, “I’d start posting denim jackets at the beginning of February, and I think you’ll see they go really fast.” She adds that it does not really matter whether your jacket is vintage or newer because buyers are looking for the vibe and the practicality, not a single specific era.
Her second category is built around Valentine’s Day, which creates a predictable spike in searches for romantic themed items. Laura says the end of January and the start of February is a sweet spot for listing anything that fits the holiday mood, from silky slips and heart print pajamas to red tops. She even mentions heart shaped dishes as an option for people who want something cute for a dinner setup or gift. Her key point is to match the way buyers search, and she offers a direct instruction, “Make sure you add ‘Valentine’s Day’ as a keyword in the description, so people who search for it will see you.”

The third category she highlights is sports apparel, especially rugby fan shirts, because the Six Nations tournament kicks off in February and drives demand for team gear and related items. Laura frames it as another moment when buyers search with event specific phrases rather than generic terms. To increase the odds that your listing appears, she recommends including the right keywords, saying, “To make your listing show up at all, put ‘Six Nations’ and ‘rugby shirt’ in the description.” Even if you do not have rugby items, her broader idea still applies because sports schedules and seasonal routines can influence what people shop for.
Beyond rugby, she notes that February can also be a strong month for general activewear as people start training more when they sense spring approaching. Leggings, workout tops, and other gym basics can move faster, especially if your photos make condition and fit obvious. In practical terms, it helps to include measurements in inches and mention features buyers commonly filter by, like high rise waistlines, compression feel, or pockets. Clean, well lit photos and a straightforward description can do as much work as the brand name. Laura’s overall strategy is to anticipate what buyers are about to want, then make your listings easy to search.
Her video struck a chord, pulling in nearly 272,000 views, and the comments show that many viewers found the advice immediately usable. One person wrote, “I love these monthly tips. They help me know what to sell. Please keep filming, you help a lot of people.” Another commenter sounded ready to act right away, saying, “I have a box of denim jackets I didn’t list last summer, now I’ll post them in February, thanks.” Some people also recognized their own struggles in what Laura said, including a user who admitted, “I have a denim jacket on Vinted that hasn’t sold for weeks,” hinting they might try her keyword approach.
If you want to apply the same logic to your own closet, it helps to think like a search bar. Holiday terms, event names, and seasonal words can matter because buyers often type exactly what they are planning for instead of browsing randomly. Timing matters too, since many shoppers start looking earlier than you might expect, especially for gifts or for clothing they want to wear once the weather changes. It also helps to keep your descriptions clear and accurate so buyers feel confident, which can reduce back and forth questions that slow down a sale. Even small details like fabric type, condition notes, and measurements in inches can improve buyer trust.
For readers who are newer to resale, Vinted is a peer to peer marketplace where individuals list secondhand clothing and other items, and shoppers search using keywords, filters, and saved preferences. Like other resale platforms, it rewards listings that are easy to understand at a glance, with photos that show the front, the back, close ups of tags, and any flaws. Search terms do a lot of heavy lifting, so including relevant phrases buyers actually use can help your listing appear in more results. Seasonal changes and cultural moments like Valentine’s Day and major sports tournaments often create bursts of demand that make certain categories easier to sell than they might be in other months.
What February items have sold fastest for you on Vinted, and what keywords do you swear by that other sellers might be missing, share your thoughts in the comments.
