Yay!! I love you so so much. Thank you for introducing me to "The True Cost" I started my own sustainable fashion movement on instagram (@FairFashionMVMT sry for the plug lol) after watching your video and the documentary. You are amazinggg😘😘

[@MildlyRabid]

“...Fashion Nova saying they’re putting out ‘thousands of styles a week.’ Thousands of styles isn’t something that should be done on a week. Thousands of styles isn’t something that should be done in a season, let alone a year! Its so wasteful, it’s so so not necessary.” That was so savage and so absolutely true. Preach 👏 it 👏 sister 👏 !

[@1rockcrawford]

Savage? Not even remotely. True? Entirely.

[@fkatwigsisthequeenofenglan4748]

Lol yeah i work at primark and we get in new deliveries every working day of each week.

I high-key am inspired by all your sass mixed with social consciousness.

[@molihua15]

Thanks for mentioning tailors, its really important to support local tailors and shoemakers. Part of sustainability is remaking and repairing old pieces. Fast fashion pretty much destroyed all local tailors and shoemakers in my country, which is really sad.

[@anagudelj1034]

Your outfit is not giving me life its giving me EXISTENCE

[@DtProject-nq6xl]

Love your best life. More like live your best Ion.

[@koirasikin]

i honestly dont even get it why a lot of clothes = fashionable person. Idk but honestly someone who is actually educated about the clothes they wear and chooses sustainability and quality over hm, zara and other trash is what fashionable person is. Not to mention that someone who can turn the same clothes into several interesting different pieces is always a winner.

[@kasairan8492]

papi One gets bored of a piece very easily when its shit and bad quality...leading to constantly buying more.

[@gpu213]

I see where you're coming from but if you have a super limited wardrobe then it will limit the variety of your outfits and if your super into fashion then you'll probably want to try different looks often, and if your wardrobe mostly consists of second hand or sustainably made clothes then I don't see a problem with having a reasonably large collection

[@jesusisapisces]

I think the older people get the smaller their wardrobe becomes and the more solid their style identity. Look at senior citizens for example.

[@cindyscrawly1672]

I have lots of differents styles! And I buy in thrift shops, I take good care of my clothes and when I don't need them more I go to exchange them. I'm lucky to have a young entrepreneur in my town that began with the Trend of barter bazaars. Even if you don't have any of these in your city you just can sell your old clothes and buy new second hand ones!!

[@randomgirl7624]

We love a sustainable sister

[@Romutforsker]

Knitting your own sweaters, cardigans etc. with locally made yarn is my best tip 🌿

[@saipandevo]

Adding to this- upcycle clothing into yarn to knit or crochet with is also an option. Never underestimate what being able to make your own things can do.

[@noobbrew]

side tip - don't over wash clothing! of course if it smells or whatever wash it use common sense, smelling gross is not cute. but with luxury items if you wear it for like 4 hours to an outing, get home and immediately take it off, don't wash it. you're just reducing the lifespan of the garment if you do. jeans especially due to the fact that you'll just fade the denim.

[@pottedaloe9160]

And treat your cheap items with care as well! That fast fashion thing that is the only thing you can afford right now is still going to last much longer if you actually take the effort to care, repair and spare it.

[@aakanshathinks]

Yes yes yes the sustainability chat that I was waiting for!

[@happybaby323]

Totally agree!

[@sebbi_d]

I've worked charity shops and they get way more donations than they can realistically sell. Much of it has to be bundled up and passed on to third-party sellers, eventually winding up in markets in places like Nairobi and Kampala where it displaces local clothiers or ends up in landfill. Whatever you see on the shop floor rest assured that there is four times as much sitting in the back waiting to be steamed and tagged. Low stock isn't an issue.

[@deborahk6311]

I live in nairobi, I'm Kenyan. This is true, we have thousands of clothing bales arriving every day. Good for shopping thrift to find good quality pieces, buuuut local clothing industries are struggling and it's literally just a lot of clothing. Even for me, and I'm a reseller

[@cindyscrawly1672]

I'm from Mexico. I'm a "paca" fan. Pacas are loads of clothes of American clothing that did not sell there. Here we can buy them for less than a dollar the item. They are very very popular here. I didn't think about what Deborah k said. Bc most of local /Mexican brands aim to luxury markets so they are pretty pretty pricey!

[@sarahlilliancullen]

I worked in a charity shop in Ireland and I was thinking this when he was talking about rich people shopping in charity shops. We sold bin bags of clothes for €3 each because we couldn't sell fast enough, and we would have loved to sell more on the shop floor. At the end of the day we were raising money for a cause we cared about, we cherished every customer!

[@propergander8509]

I don't own clothes, I am always naked Who's the sustainable sister now?

[@hollow.skull.95]

I don't know if it's an american thing and that's why I can't relate or what it is, but who just throws away clothes after wearing them 5-10 times (please let us exclude prom dresses from this)? Isn't it normal to wear it until ... it falls apart? OK, not to that extreme extent, but don't you have "getting as much use out of it as possible" and "I'll but something I like so I'll wear it for a long time" in mind when you go shopping? Maybe it's just a cultural difference or a wage gap difference that breeds a certain type of mentality depending which side you're on. Oh, and Adidas isn't really affordable casual clothing. Don't people (your average Joe, not money-sack-mcgee) normally save up a bit in order to buy that? Anyway, I'm glad you brought up this matter in a video. Hopefully there will be an efficient way we can recycle most clothes in the future so that we don't waste so much.

[@deadfishize]

throwing away clothes after wearing it only 7 times or after one season does sound very american. haha, I still own and wear stuff from mass retailer like mango, zara that I bought 8 year ago because it still fits and in ok condition. it is not "fast" fashion for everyone.

[@hollow.skull.95]

@@deadfishize Absolutely! And I feel you, my oldest clothing item is a blue shirt I got 10 years ago (from H&M I think?), it definitely isn't soft anymore and has decolored quite a bit, but it's still ok to wear at home.

[@NiamhAllStar21]

I will wear something until it either doesn't fit, breaks, or my taste changes. The last one sounds quite wasteful but honestly it takes years for me to stop liking things that i own and its usually the pieces that i wear the most often, at least every few weeks, that i will stop wearing after a few years. Even then I always offer old stuff to my friends and family first and everything else goes to the charity shop. Americans are crazy my dude.

[@hollow.skull.95]

@@NiamhAllStar21 It actually doesn't sound that wasteful, considering you mentioned you'd still wear it for a while before giving* (not throwing, who throws away clothing unless it's ruined when you can do as you said and donate it or hand it down?) it away. And I agree, they are.

[@hollow.skull.95]

@@TheTinKunt Thank you for sharing, it's always interesting to hear the opinion of people who've seen both sides. So this obsession is fueled by consumerism. That's pretty sad. Oh, uhm, could you please explain what you mean by "gently loved items"? Idk what it means. Is it a term for vintage/second hand clothing?

[@elizabethanne8729]

Audrey A La Mode has a channel that offers capsule wardrobe/sustainability options in a practical and down to earth way. Also check out Justine LeConte’s channel too. She talks a lot about foreign style, the process she uses to design her clothes and sustainability. 💕

[@louie603]

Also both those ladies have such nice voices to listen to!

[@pottedaloe9160]

Justine LeConte seconded, her channel also has a lot of information on garment care and what the different materials used in clothing actually are and what their relative good and bad points are etc. Very practical, great advice.

[@elizabethanne8729]

Farida El-Ebeidy 💯I am. 😂

[@Rennie212]

One of the most important things to know about sustainability is that there is no "away". When you get rid of something it doesn't disappear, it goes to a landfill where it is ruining the environment.

[@NS-xt5wv]

For that reason I started vintage fashion dealing. You can find me on depop, Etsy and Heroine. Heroine is a sister of Grailed for women. My store's name is Vintage with no Age. I mostly sell Dior, Versace, Jean-Paul Gaultier, but also sometimes I drop other designers. That's quite amazing how clothes which are 20, 30 years old look like new, because they were made way before fashion had become fast, high-end included. Not only it's the matter of quality, but the design too. Designer weren't being exploited by beung forced to create 12 seasons a year, hence more creativity in their designs: patterns, construction, fit, etc.

[@doodle3984]

Forever 21 and HM and Zara are all expensive brands in India and it's stupid really because the local tailors are being called cheap and not good when the actual material they use is better. You can get better quality than fast fashion in India for way way cheaper. Like how crazy is that we still continue to buy Zara 🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️

[@ivabikic1889]

Well its difficult when you live in a small country in balkans where basiclly everyone shops in mango, zara, berska, pull&bear and hm. They have lower quality clothes here in eastern europe then western (and not cheaper!). There is no thrift shops, and second hand shops...its a mess And most of ethical online shops dont ship here where i live, and shipping will only make it more expensive😣 Anyway great tips💗💗

[@edgaralanhoe2942]

In second hand shops if its cute its way too expensive for previously worn clothes, if its cheap its ugly

[@rachelromero6832]

If thrifting isn't an option then opt out of fast fashion and invest classic pieces that will last. Are there no places making quality pieces that you could save up for and then buy less? Just an idea. I realize I'm lucky to live where there are plenty of thrift stores but there are also sustainable options online, could that work?

[@MildlyRabid]

Idk, I studied in a smaller city in Russia, and it had a few thrift stores, one of which was absolutely amazing. Its business model discounted different things really steeply every day, but even at full price the shirts were $4-6 and jackets $10-15. Look for thrift stores that import, or just generally the ones on the edge of town in cities with multiple thrift stores. Or visit other towns. A small town in former East Germany like half an hour away from me has the best thrift store ever (€2 sweaters! €3 coats!) and I literally will take the train there just to shop when I need something.

[@aliciaeberle7501]

Asos marketplace has really cool vintage stuff :)

[@ivabikic1889]

Rachel Romero idk is sisley good option? Its just that i love to shop and its hard to find cute ethical clothes, bc this expensive brands are very something that my grandma would wear lol And most of enviroment friendly online shops dont ship here where i live😔

a very high percentage of clothes donated to goodwill never are sold anyway! never feel bad about shopping there!

[@velicyclomoteur]

Totally agree, the main thing is to cherish your clothes whether they are fast fashion or not, and be conscious of where the clothing comes from.

[@fr4n_c13]

I bought jeans from everlane a few weeks ago and they’re the most comfy jeans I’ve ever worn

[@-colletta-4436]

You can usually shop on carousell and depop if you don't have alot of money and dont have a thrift store nearby. And you can sell your clothes too. Im so glad more people are talking about this!!! So happy :D

[@danielasolis189]

Secondly, I know everlane is expensive, but the jeans!! I’ve had them for a long time now and they have not faded the fit makes my legs look skinny and longer. I will not hesitate to save up and buy a new pair when these get worn out. But that probably won’t be for a while. Yess!!

[@michellebeth3253]

I absolutely love that you touched up on the controversy of thrift thing vintage at Goodwill, because I definitely feel guilty sometimes for picking out the greatest looking items at Goodwill for a cheap especially when people use Goodwill when they can’t afford clothing or they have big families...

[@Awesomeninja54]

That top is everything. Our fashion king blesses us with his knowledge yet again 🤩

[@sarap7199]

I'm so so happy to see a fashion KZbinr talk about this. I always cringe when I see so many talk about these cheap unsustainable fast fashion "brands". I haven't bought clothes in more than a year, I don't need to cus I have a lot of timeless sustainable pieces. Thank you for doing this. Here have my sub!

[@1aim4life24]

I also buy fabric and make clothes, my grandma knows a lot about it and she recently finished an amazing piece for me. The quality of the fabric is so much better and the finished product turns out personalized and way more unique.

[@k1kirparut]

thanks for giving clothing makers a shout out! i'm a trained pattern cutter and im studying garment technology and the amount of stuff we find out daily about how unethical and unsustainable certain brands can be (and not just big conglomerates) shocks me all the time. it really does take a lot of time, energy and resources to produce even a single shirt so kudos for bringing production into the conversation.

[@slavmetal]

I really respect how you apologized for some of the more insensitive comments in your previous video. A lot of youtubers can learn from this example, as many I see addressing this topic tend to speak from a holier-than-thou perspective, which just works to alienate people. Videos like this that encourage critical thinking and offer options for all budgets without shaming those who have no choice to opt out of fast fashion are way better 😊

[@livama6905]

this sustainability chat has me LIVINGG!! i learnt how to make my own bralettes and i started charging people £5 to donate an old jersey tshirt that they don’t wear (regardless of its condition) and made underwear that actually fit the customer

[@susiemckeon1914]

buffalo exchange is a freaking GODSEND!!! they take mostly funky items that are on-trend and i've found so many of my favorite pieces there! i always see a ton of free people and urban outfitters in there too which is nice. the only downside is that there was one in my hometown but i don't live there anymore and there isn't one near me :(

[@marilyntarcan1289]

Housing Works is a TREASURE. I'm from Brooklyn and there is a Housing Works near where I grew up in DUMBO (before it was even DUMBO, lol) - and if you go there in like, feb/march when everyone's trying to do their charitable donations for tax season? It's legendary. You make out in the best way especially if you wear a common size. When I was smaller in the waist I definitely shopped nearly my entire wardrobe from them. Not only are you environmentally friendly for shopping second hand, but you also support a charity that helps people living with HIV/AIDS get a roof over their heads!

[@lidiabidia105]

Yessss!!! I love when people talk about this. I wrote a whole research paper for school on this last year, it was around 10 pages and that only brushes the surface. I wholeheartedly believe that schools should teach everyone basic sewing skills, because their pieces will last so much longer if they can mend and alter them. Depop is also a literal babe.

[@dmolinah]

I always watch your environmental fashion vids I don’t think anyone else is doing them.... KEEP EM COMING!!!!

[@GulienIthilmir]

Learning how to sew is a process, but you can also get help from yt channels, like "Made to Sew", if it goes for machine sewing. As far as I know, there are also some hand sewing tutorials on yt, so check them out. For practice, I would highly recommend to gather all yuor unused/ unloved (or both) clos and make some patchwork douvees out of them, which you can later on donate to yor local sse kind of things are highly appreciated, especially as the colder months are closing in. So, while you are getting practice at sewing, which can later on project on your awesome, hand-made, tailored outfits, you can also do something good for others, which is always good :)

[@acciodalek]

[@n.mccain5163]

Since I was little my mom taught me to always donate and not throw away wearable clothing. So till this day I still do the same unless the clothing is unwearable. I usually go theft shopping. So I'm happy you did this video because now I have more resources to shop at and not feel bad about the environment or the effects it took to get a piece of clothing.😆😆

[@SElyas96]

Weirdly this video, especially the ending, made me super emotional, your apology and how humble you were about the last video, really got to see how much you genuinely care about this topic, other KZbinrs need to take note!

[@Megan.eco-Instinct]

Luke, I think you approach all of this so honestly and for a bad bitch, I think you are very considerate. So... I love you having this conversation. I have had it so often about many other industries. It's my "fair trade" discussion really. Only because the fair trade movement was founded on this notion of getting back to realizing that things have a value intrinsically and value in the artisans creating them. We - especially Americans - are full on wedded to this _I want it all fast and I want it all at Walmart prices_ I know that each of us have what we can afford - I am no exception to that, but I think we would all do so much better; our earth would be so much better; our artisans would be so much better; if we could get back to recognizing the REAL value of items and artisans. A great example would be ... instead of a *Great Fashion Nova Haul* , half of which we'll toss in a month; go with a *Two Extraordinary Pieces Haul* that are responsibly sourced and crafted and priced in accordance with its actual value and a valued artisan. A great byproduct of this would be that we get back to treasuring things again. We are a society buried in shit we don't worry about because it's all so disposable.

[@sydneyroach7999]

Protip for college kids living at that minimum wage! If you live in SoCal, there's a chain called Uptown Cheapskate! They're a thrift shop that buys and resells old clothes, depending on the trends of the season! It's a little chaotic, but its cheaper and they have a giant collection of brands and are pretty stylish!

[@carlyturner3664]

Thank you so much for educating everyone on how to be more sustainable, but still be fashionable with ever changing trends throughout the years

[@renoodle5554]

thank you so much for this video! I'm very new to understanding fashion and your videos are always so insightful. as someone who doesn't have a lot of money for clothes but also wants to shop more ethically, I really appreciate you putting this out and providing information about additional options!

[@sophiejones7727]

ah, Luke you failed to mention something that I think most people don't know. Most people don't realize that they do in fact have a local tailor, even in a poor or rural neighborhood: the drycleaner. These stores are usually family enterprises, so advertising of services is not always top notch: but you can usually ask them to tailor your garments when you bring them in for cleaning. People tend to hear "tailor" and think about an atelier: but everyone actually has access to a reasonably skilled tailor.

[@2atombomb2]

This video needs to be seen. I absolutely love the minimalist and sustainable message!

[@MissMusicObsessedxox]

Love love love this video! such an important message that you’ve put across in a really accessible way and the part about doing what you can afford and not shaming people was fabulous!!! I completely get your thoughts on the industry, I’m currently studying fashion marketing at university and struggle with some of the ethical issues sometimes too. Love your channel 💞

[@xuananh3219]

After watching your videos I have decided to only purchase from high fashion brands (I don't want to support sweatshops + the quality is much nicer). I watched a documentary about fast fashion and it really impacted me too and made me cry.. also your video made me really think it through. Obvs I'm only buying essentials and currently collecting so I am in a process now but I just want to say thank you so much for talking about this. It really impacted me and made me think about my purchases so much more :)

[@deadfishize]

This video is much better than the previous you made about that topic. Also good advice is to pay more attention to stitches and material in clothes you buy. If you buy clothes from natural material or blends, the quality is better so you end up using the item longer. There is nothing worse that wearing 100% polyester dress on hot summer dress. Same principal applies on stitches, messy stitches mean poor quality and much less usage. Taking basic care of your clothes also prolong their life, like changing when you come home (so you don't end up sleeping/cooking in it) and putting it carefully away on hangers ( I also always put some paper in my shoes, so they keep their shape). etc, etc.

[@castiellagabriella6059]

Great tips you got there, Luke 👍👍. I definitely agree with parts that you mention on upcycle your old clothes and use what you already have. I can't really afford to buy new clothes that fashionable but upcycle my mom old clothes for me to wear is definitely MY CHOICE of sustainable fashion.🤗🙌😂😂

[@ellel.4579]

have you heard of bestdressed? she's a fashion/casual advice etc youtuber who over the past year or two has transitioned into almost entirely thrifted or ethical clothes and often makes little changes to things she thrifts! arden rose also makes an effort not to contribute to fast fashion, though i know she's not really a specifically fashion youtuber. i'm glad this is something you try to do and that you are educating others on fast fashion! i'm trying to make an effort to contribute as little as i can to fast fashion and i'm glad there's people like you to keep me accountable :)

[@elizabethn8417]

Thank you for doing this video Luke. Buffalo Exchange is a good place to find used clothing. You can also take your new clothes and sell it to them.

[@SoraCyn]

for me, forcing myself to only have a certain number of clothing pieces (or forced by closet size, for those living in big cities😂) really forced me to buy “loves” not “kinda like” clothing before i even knew about the sustainability problem. i’m also a big proponent of “you can tell when a piece of clothing is high quality” (90% not fast fashion), and those are more expensive anyway... so i have a limited budget to work with, further forcing the “love not like” mantra

Your mention of vintage is interesting. I see thrift and vintage as different. You can find vintage in thrift stores, but vintage as a category means its 20+ years old. Goodwill and other similar store don't have a ton of that, it's mostly 3 to 10 year old items. But I have gotten really lucky finding actual vintage in those stores! Real vintage is usually more expensive than thrift though.

Thank you for talking about this again king, that how I found juu with the fast fashion video and I was almost thinking you almost forgot

[@breh9243]

Thank you for this. I love thrift stores. I always make sure I'm in love with the clothes I get because minimalism.

i'm from the US, but i will still never understand the mentality of "oh, i'll just wear it once and throw it away lol!!!1!" i think it comes from such a disgusting place of entitlement. i was raised to be grateful for what i had because what i had was never very much. besides, i like to think that while anyone can make designer clothes look good, it takes a truly fashionable person to make goodwill look expensive! haha

I'd also put an emphasis on quality. There's a saying "poor cannot afford to buy cheap" which means you end up spending more by buying cheap crap that falls apart. Fast fashion is not meant to last, not in style nor in quality. BUT bigger price doesn't always mean better quality! Some textile klowledge would be usefull to anyone!

I'm kinda following the 30 wear rule already I think. In the past year or so I started never buying anything if I had to think about it; if I was thinking things like oh should I really buy this, idk, I'm not sure, I like it but... then it's a hard no. I don't have the money to waste honestly. I will buy it if I know for sure that I love it and will wear it often. My wardrobe is a lot smaller than my sisters these days but everything in it I wear often and I love. I save money and I waste less clothing. Anything I did need to get rid of a few years back when I also lost weight went straight to charities.

Hey, I wanted to ask what you think about Marzias and Felix' 'tsuki' brand. I think they are trying to pull off sustainable merch which I don't see KZbinrs actually doing.

[@anitamontenegro66]

As I see it, it's not merch, it's an actual sustainable clothing brand

[@rosalala4353]

Loved this! You coveres so much but one thing I feel you missed is as well as upcylce repair clothes! Don't just throw clothes out cause they got a rip or something, fix it up, make it new, keep wearing. And a lot of towns will have repair workshops where people who know how to see help run then and will help you learn how to fix your clothes!! It's wonderful. But yeah deffo sharing this, I haven't been keeping up with my sustai able life blog atm but people like you are doing a great job at it 💕
