What Hassan wears on the show is dictated by the hair and makeup department, and most of it is either rented, or returned after use. There's probably an intern whose job or is to go and pick out a whole bunch of clothes for him to try on, and when they pick one outfit the rest is returned. Even the one they used in the show is likely returned. Just think about it, they go through a new outfit every week, it's not like the presenter or even the production crew can store and care for all those clothes.

As for underwear I've had o buy that because my hips have grown astronomically through the past 3 years. My clothes are market material made by my grandma and or seamstress that lives near my house. I wear abayas which is basically a long black dress and my scarves are also from the market. The rest of my clothes like bags, jackets coats etc are handmedowns from my aunt who was extremely stylish in her youth so I have some cute vintage pieces.

There is one article of clothing that I will spend a lot of money on. A well fitting bra. It is the most important article of clothing you can wear. All my clothes can be 5, 10, 20, even 30 years old, but everything looks good, whether it is an old T-shirt, or a fancy new T-shirt, you look great. I only buy clothing I really like and which fits well, and then I wear it until it’s falling off me, and then I might wear it around the house. Just one properly fitting nude bra, and one a little less basic, perhaps in black, which you wash with real gentle soap and it never sees the sun, drip dry in shade are the best investment a woman can make. That way they last for years and you get value for money. Get an actual fitting before buying. 80% of women are wearing the wrong (incorrectly fitting) bra, approximately 70% of woman wear too small a bra and 10% of woman wear too large a bra. I do also buy a T-shirt bra in nude, but that can be your first nude bra. There are some beautiful bras these days. Not so much here in South Africa, it is better overseas, but it is getting better in South Africa in terms of variety. A fitted swimming costume is also a great idea, although I haven’t invested in one. Nah, Americans are terrible spendthrifts by the sounds of it. Very few people in Africa can afford even 5 new items of clothing per year, never mind 12 or 68. Zara and H+M is too expensive for most. Perhaps one pair of shoes in 2-3 years. I wear my shoes until it is no longer possible to repair them.

I love thrift shops. People get rid of clothes they never wear, that still have tags on them. And I hate most of the new styles. I know I can walk into a thrift store and find one or two items in my style that I love. Also I only shop for career clothes maybe once a year. Otherwise I live in pajamas at home. I don't need 80 lbs of extra clothes every year. I buy 1 good winter coat and it lasts me several years. People are so wasteful.

In the past year I have bought 25 new pieces of clothing including socks and underwear.

And all the older clothes are now used for yard work, for undershirts, to wear on the beach, etc. I have thrown none of it away. So I don’t feel guilty, and the new things I bought will last a while too. I also don’t have too many clothes either, at least in comparison to many people

But, as long as looking fresh, cool or the idea of beautiful and what society now defines and good looking is around, ppl will like and may share. But, that is it.

[@Twenty_Nine_Pigeons]

All Asians do ;)

[@muhibkhan6528]

It's great to hear that many Filipinos are embracing sustainable fashion practices by reusing and repurposing clothing, and by shopping at secondhand stores. By doing so, you are helping to reduce the environmental impact of the fashion industry and promoting sustainability. As I mentioned earlier, the production and disposal of clothing can have a significant impact on the environment, particularly due to the release of greenhouse gases and the generation of textile waste. By using clothing for as long as possible and finding ways to repurpose or recycle it, we can all contribute to reducing this impact. Secondhand stores like ukay-ukays are also a great way to reduce the environmental impact of the fashion industry, as they offer a more sustainable alternative to buying new clothing. By choosing to shop secondhand, you can extend the lifespan of clothing and reduce the demand for new production. Overall, it's inspiring to see that many Filipinos are taking steps to promote sustainable fashion practices. By continuing to embrace these practices and encouraging others to do the same, we can all contribute to a more sustainable future.
