NWOT

What does "NWOT" mean in second-hand listings?

NWOT (New Without Tags) describes items that have never been worn or used but don't have their original tags attached.

These might be gifts that didn't suit the recipient, impulse purchases that never made it out of the wardrobe, or items where the tags were removed before the owner changed their mind. NWOT items are basically brand new but are usually cheaper than items with tags.


For example, you might find a NWOT dress that still has that fresh, unworn feel and perfect stitching, but without the paper price tag. When buying NWOT items online, look for clear photos that show what condition it's in and maybe ask the seller why the tags are missing if you're worried about it being genuine.


NWOT items are great value in the second-hand world—you're getting something unworn and unused at a nice discount just because a small piece of card is missing. For eco-conscious shoppers, they're a guilt-free way to buy "new" without the environmental impact of actually buying new.
