Emma Chamberlain Says Big Pants Are Out and Tight, Tailored Pants Are In—See What Else She's Parting Ways With on eBay

Emma Chamberlain's personal style is the stuff of envy. She rose to fame on Youtube thanks to her authenticity. And Chamberlain's genuineness translates to the way she gets dressed. It's not uncommon to see her fans on TikTok or Instagram or Youtube ahead of a seasonal shift and ask amongst themselves, "What is Emma Chamberlain shopping right now?!" When she films a fashion video, touring her closet or showing what she's been into recently, thousands tune in and take notes.

Part of what makes the social media star's look so special is that she loves secondhand items she thrifted or archival designer pieces from collections past. You can often find her scouring on Ebay for some of her best finds, which is exactly why she recently partnered with the retailer for an exclusive auction of some of her favorite vintage items she wants to part with. Below, we caught up with her and discussed how she shops the website, how she decides what to part with, and what trends she's both scared and excited for.

The Emma Chamberlain x Ebay auction ends tomorrow at 8:30am EST.

Walk me through some of your favorite pieces that are available to shop on Ebay right now.

Well, there's actually so many! I did this major closet clean out in a way that I think was really long overdue. I had so many pieces that it was getting insane. I can barely even remember half of the stuff that's in my closet at this point.

I would say a stand out item for me was this little Louis Vuitton Van Gogh. It is so cute. And honestly, parting with it was really hard for me. But ultimately, it's not big enough for me! When I bring a bag, I need to bring 90 things with me. It's just who I am. I'm not a mom yet, but I need a mom bag. And somebody needs to have this LV bag who, only takes their phone and their wallet with them. That's a favorite but honestly there's so many things that I've worn to death. They are hard to part with but I also know they are ready for their second life.

And how did you decide that you could part with them? Was that difficult at all, given how much you love cultivating your own wardrobe and experimenting with your style so much?

For the last eight years, I've been sort of on my fashion journey. Things happen really fast career wise, and all of a sudden it was like, 'Wait, now I'm in this career, and fashion is such a big part of it.'

As a young person, I was like, 'Well, I guess I need a lot of clothes now!' And that was sort of a dream that I always had as a kid. I always thought I can't wait until I make my own money so I can have so many clothes because I just love clothes so much. Over the years I have collected so many pieces, whether it was through shopping or just through working with brands. I ended up with this collection that ultimately was over stimulating for me. I couldn't even give all of these pieces proper use. I can't wear them to their fullest extent! It felt almost unfair to these pieces, as though they're almost alive.

I thought, I need to scale it down so that I can truly appreciate what I do have. When it came to figuring out what went on eBay, I selected certain things that maybe were a bit more special, a bit more hyper specific, something that maybe somebody would want to collect! Now I feel cleansed, and I'm so excited that how other people can add these things into their wardrobe and they can have a new life where they're actually going to be worn so much more.
