ARBITRAGE
BUY A LOT LOW, SELL A LOT HIGH
Arbitrage is the act of buying several of the same item, at a discounted retail price to resell at a higher price.
Arbitrage takes planning and technique to know when and where to look for items. You'll get the most return by buying items before they reach their top popularity and resell after they've become rare or semi-rare.
With clothing, however, this can be a little tricky and it will take a lot of research on your part to decide which pieces will carry from year to year.
If you have access to a large amount of duplicate clothing, arbitrage is something you should look into.
