Every year I say the same thing.
Make this the year that you stop buying new clothes.
You do not need new clothes.
There is more than enough clothing on the planet - estimated 30% of fast fashion remains unsold.
Mountains of clothes are dumped in the Atacama desert.
Retailers are not paying or treating their (80% female) workers fairly.
Buy second hand only
Buy only to replace items that are broken and irreparable
Swap clothes with your friends
Fix things you already have
Use eBay, Etsy, vinted, depop, there are so many online options for secondhand shopping
Just try it. What the worst that can happen?
