How the hashtags are picked

Depop's own guidance is to describe the item "using up to five hashtags" and to keep them relevant: irrelevant hashtags are against its community guidelines. So this picks five, in the order buyers browse by: the style (Y2K, gorpcore, grunge), vintage and the era, the brand, then the item itself. Where a style has close neighbours buyers also search, those fill any space left.

The styles come from our guide to 160 fashion aesthetics. Nothing you type is sent anywhere; the hashtags are worked out in your browser.

A search bar reading vintage y2k zip hoodie, popular search terms, and a listing title with the matching words highlighted — Buyers search for the look, so the listing should use the words they type.
