This is facts tho, I did a deep clean on my closet, and only kept things that I actually like, wear, and can style.... I'm borderline a minimalist now. Sold almost everything and have never felt more comfortable in my style. Don't by the hype, but if you do buy what you like/need/sometimes want. Not impulsively tho, wait on it and see if you actually want it 9/10 you forget about it 🤷🏾‍♀️💚😂 thanks for reading my Ted talk about Christian's Ted talk Edit: awe gawrsh guys thanks for the likes heeyuk 😂🫶🏾

Thrifting really solved this problem for me. Different styles, sustainable clothes, and it helped me sift through pieces I found genuinely appealing. Finding items you relate to while think about how you can style them with clothes you already have really did something for my personal style and fit composition.

i also think that thrifting helps with buying less because if you dont find what youre looking for or what you vibe with, you dont buy anything and you just come back later. i also feel like you have more time to give thought to the pieces while youre sorting through the rest of the racks. ive found that with thrifting, ive been able to figure out what i actually like instead of just going with the trend since thrift stores dont have the “newest thing”

[@samaraisnt]

honestly that's not "buying nothing" tho cause I only buy seconhand...so by that logic I can shop 3x a week cause it's not fast fashion. I've seen people buy crates on crates at thrift stores so it's not less it's just cheaper...which makes people buy more!

As a woman, I can absolutely relate with this. When I was younger, I’d buy clothes as often as 2-3 times a month, and they’d be styles that didn’t fit with my aesthetic. I just saw that they looked good on someone else and figured maybe it would work for me too. But once I had it, I’d realize that I didn’t have anything in my existing wardrobe to go with the new acquisitions, so I had to buy stuff to match them. After a while, they’d sit in my closet or in a pile that will eventually go to my mom’s donation box 😅 Now I purchase clothes probably thrice a year, and I have to put them on heavy rotation because I genuinely enjoy them.

[@baby-girlification]

some things that have gotten me better at buying less clothes 1. don't buy anything after midnight/on less than 8 hours of sleep 2. if possible, wait 3 days thinking about how this new piece would work in your closet and if u really want it. sometimes the want to buy something just goes away on its own. 3. if looking for a specific kind of piece, try to thrift first 4. don't buy faux or real fur new, always thrift it if furs what u want 5. record the outfits ur proud of! sometimes i get into a rotation of outfits, and i feel like i need to buy something to make things feel fresh again. i look at some old fit pics to get inspired and even rework 6. i also just blacklist various brands that are fast fashion/are racist/are generally problematic. its just easy let me know if you have any tips or advice you follow on being more fashion sustainable!

This is why when I buy clothes, I always make sure that they are timeless and not just following the trends.

Buy things that you would actually wear in 2-5 years time!

@@florianmuller8297 the main topic is my STYLE for example light/dark Academia. The MATERIALS and textures I use are cotton, a leather type of material, silk, and wool. COLORS are mainly white and browns but I add a little sapphire blue, emerald green, and black. CLOTHE TYPES: blouses, sweater vest, skirts, long coat, cape coat etc and lastly SHOE TYPES: Oxford shoes, ankle boots, knee high boots. ACCESSORIES: hats, bags (for school, computer, casual) jewelry, scarf, belt, hair accessories etc. Edit: when I’m shopping online I started off with most of the basics and a few key items that work well together and when shopping again I kept in mind what I already have and added more key items and accessories. Later I would add on the more expensive things like shoes and timeless winter coats that would never go out of style in my opinion.

[@leestrz4153]

Stay away from ASOS, Zara, shien, etc. Only buy things that last. I have a strict 7 outfits per season rule. 4 seasons. Shouldn't need more clothes than that. Realistically, I should have less. Making a spread sheet and referring to it before making purchases is extremely helpful. I can make sure I don't own multiple of the same thing. I.e. I always want to buy new hoodys and I've got too many already.

[@liamcoyle4999]

Loving the work you're doing, man. Just wanna chime in and do my own where I can. On the ozone bit, if anyone is interested in looking more into the sustainability of their fashion I highly recommend starting by looking into the scopes approach (i.e. scope 1-3 emissions). It's a great way to get a broad understanding of the impact on emissions that anything along a supply chain makes from supplier to consumer. Although the ozone layer is healing since we banned a lot of the bad sh*t that we used to spray into the air, there's a f*ck ton more issues we have to address in order to achieve a sustainable and just basic ethical civilization. After all what the f*ck does sustainable even mean? Albeit the footprint of a single person is marginal and honestly won't do sh*t when it comes to global climate change and material pollution (unless you're actively using a private jet but we're gonna eat the rich anyways so it's ok), having the ability to cast a ripple effect is what can really drive change and make us broke boys feel better about ourselves. As it has to do w fashion--material waste, pollution, and human rights violations are all massive things to consider and that's just the tip of the iceberg. A KZbin comment isn't going to cover everything but at the very least I want to push you in the direction of doing your own research, even if it is just a quick Google search about scope emissions.

Honestly something that hit me like a year ago was that you don’t always have to buy on brand clothes/shoes to have the same look. It’s OK to have dupes or fakes, if you like the look but not the price or brand dupes/fakes are the way to go. On the other hand if you’re a hypebeast or something then buy the clothes/shoes for the brand

Atmospheric chemist here: the ozone "hole" was created by CFCs (used in fridges/freezers/pressurized aerosol cans) reacting with UV light in the upper atmosphere where the ozone layer is. This caused an issue because ozone was depleted through these reactions and over time the concentration of ozone in the layer dropped. The ozone "hole" is a region with little ozone concentration. Thankfully since the banning of most CFCs, it is recovering and by 2050 should be back to normal :)

As a professional broke person, i realized with the years that the clothes that I wear the most, serve me the most for all my days, and that lasted the longest are clothes that I bought from thrift shops, i still wear some stuff that I bought when I was 17 meanwhile none of the fast fashion bullshit made it through. Its either i get sick of them just from seeing them too much in my closet and then get over them very quck or the quality gets really bad after 2-3 times of wear of after 2 wash cycles. Ghe thing with thrift shops is that it helps me not only to be creative by looking at some clothes that I wouldnt normally look at or see on social media differently and create unique original images in my head, but also it helps me currate and have a very essential and self serving wardrobe, because I think thouroughly about every piece before buying it since it comes only in one size and has to be useful (and dont have the skills or money to alter them )

[@baby-girlification]

i have a hard time thrifting cus my imagination isnt great and i cant usually visualize how things would look or pair well on me, but it's something that im starting to do more of if im trying to experiment! no additional waste (aside from shipping if online) and can be pretty cheap

[@CrudeHunter]

Even environmental issues aside, textile workers still face a lot of workplace abuse from fast fashion companies. So buy cutting out fast fashion brands and cutting back on buying clothes in general you won't be feeding into the demand for more clothes that will only last like, 2 years tops before it just turns into rags from how cheap it was made.

[@lauren8135]

Ok so I honestly don’t know if the ozone layer bit was a semi-serious bit or not. But just in case it stopped because the propellants used in things like hairspray, air fresheners, WD40 ect were the things that were causing the ozone layer hole and they were phased out quickly and other propellants were used to compress and dispense those kind products. Butt also yes stop buying crap to throw away. Be me buy mid level basics and wear them for the next 10-15 years the current fleece jacket that I have from Eddie Bauer I got it on sale in 2011 I wear it all the time in the winter it’s warm as sh*t and had held up well and it’s a black jacket it doesn’t go out of style cuz no one cares enough to examine your generic black jacket.

Maybe it will be useful to someone. I made a board on Pinterest, where I collected for six months only those outfits that I like and that I would copy 100% - from the headdress to shoes and accessories. It helped me discover what I liked and what I didn't like. I realized that my style is classic things from different styles (romantic, business, cowboy, motorcycle, techwear, warcore, 90s, 00s, 70s, sports, Milan and Paris, Chanel and Dior, folk outfit etc). I also discovered that 80% of my ideal wardrobe is black, white and denim. And the fact that I don't like skinny and loose sleeves at all. I am very happy with the result, because during these six months, I did not get tired of the things I collected and I still like these clothes. It is important to observe 3 things: 1. This outfit will definitely look good on your figure. Study your proportions and ruthlessly remove all outfits that spoil your figure. 2. Choose only where the color, shape, material is 100% acceptable for you. You would copy 100% - from the headdress to shoes and accessories. No BUTs are allowed. 3. Be realistic about whether you will have room to wear each outfit. Choose outfits for work, walks around the city, romantic dates, and glamorous celebrations. Of course, if you go to nature or mountains, or for sports, you need a more practical style. As for me, I know for a fact that if I'm going purely for shopping, I won't wear anything other than a comfortable sports outfit.

Student's law number one regarding things that aren't essential to life (aka fashion, especially fast fashion): "If you can't afford it, you don't actually need it." Srsly, my mom taught me this ever since I was small, "you have lived so well without this item until now, so really think about whether or not you REALLY need it or not.", and this applies to A LOT of things. The thing about the ozone layer has just been substituted by some other problem in the world, such as unsold clothes being dumped in south american deserts and therefore destroying the local environment. I did undergo this transformation basically a few years ago, but now I really AM sitting in that mindset "I don't care how cheap it is, if I don't strictly need it, then I wont buy it, and IF i actually DO need a specific item, I shall make sure I find something locally made, even if it's more expensive. It shall keep for longer and I coul actually give it to someone in an actually WEARABLE condition, and it won't fall apart after three run-ins with the washing mashine. The only clothes I am buying currently are either: literally FOR WORK (aka stuff that is durable and can get dirty) or high quality, locally made stuff that will literally OUTLAST me. I most likely won't have children (unless I adopt at some point), but I will have a legacy regardless. A legacy of style.

@@xdefy9144 i have an issue the shoes/boots i go for are all demonias so i just keep a beat ass pair and wait to pay 200 for the pair i want but i only buy apair every 2-3 years

I love the way you talk about this topic in such a mtv Daria way. Daria mostly wore one outfit except in the credits....those were single use fits.

[@iwannaseethereceipts]

I've got so much more than enough "lay around the house" clothes; every piece I buy now has to actually fit/enhance my existing wardrobe. Anything high enough in price either has to go on sale, or it wasn't meant to be.

[@princessjello]

Started a 1yr no-buy in jan2020... Really did not expect the pandemic to stretch it to 2 years. Ive only bought things to replace things i don't fit anymore/ that are broken. So, like, 4 things.

I’m glad that when I was wanting new trending clothes I had no money, now I just buy basic minimal shit that can be worn all the time. Of course I still sometimes buy a trendy item but I always give it a bit of time to decide if I really want it and can wear it. Although I still only really buy designer so maybe I’m no different

[@Zymier]

I love clothes and all my purchases have value because I purchase what I love and can wear multiple times. It’s what I love. It makes me happy. But when I’m in my home I don’t wear any clothes cause I live alone 😂🔥

[@xSmythosx]

this mindset is how i went from having six identical black peacoats i don’t wear to one i wear all the time. i have three daily driver jackets and that’s IT and it’s freeing as hell. i’m by no means a minimalist but i’ve narrowed things down to a pretty specific vibe and now i no longer spend $50 a month at goodwill on shit i’m gonna end up donating right back. and this is coming from someone pretty poor, even thrifting for cheap stuff had me picking between gas and food. now i occasionally thrift a piece and i diy a lot and people constantly ask about where i get my clothes and i’m like “i got these jeans four years ago from the goodwill outlet bins and have since put safety pins over all the holes because i’m too lazy to sew or patch them”

The hole in the ozone has gotten smaller. There was a coordinated effort to stop using CFCs (Chlorofluorocarbons) in the 90s which was the biggest cause. They now use alternative chemicals as refrigerants / aerosols

[@Ryan83728]

All i want Is good fitting good quality plain t shirts. Like that good cotton and good fit with a bunch of colors and I'd buy like 10 shades. The problem is clothes are made cheap af now they lose their shape or shrink or just get worn out or they're made for fat people

[@AdonisNesser]

Uniqlo is that golden ratio of price v performance for plain cotton tees that I can wear wherever with anything

[@r3dsnow757]

As i am losing weight and my body is changing i've initally spent some money on new pants and it hurts the wallet. But after cleaning my closet i decided to diy rework some of my older tops that are now oversized. Not the best but worth trying out for old ragedy clothes.

[@VonDutchNL]

My #1 rule is.. I only buy timeless basics. Like levi's denim Sherpa's, leather jackets, white timeless sneakers like Adidas Superstars, chelsea boots, basic joggers, Basic black/white/grey crewnecks/hoodies. Basic jeans (slim fit), Denim blouses etc. I have clothes in my closet 15+ years old that still can be bought today. Just stay with the timeless basics and you're golden.

[@sonsofelshamy3987]

sounds boring. Nothing wrong with buying something trendy/wacky/out there once a while, just as long as it can pass into and out of your wardrobe easily

i think the arcteryx jacket actually makes sense to buy (for me) i have one and haven’t bought it to do the shower meme, but to actually wear it. it rains a lot where i live and it’s also windy so it’s practical.

[@rosea2350]

I purge my closet every season and if I want to get rid of something I put it in a storage tub in the basement. I ALWAYS get something out and have a new found love for it. That way I don’t waste my money or donate something then regret it. I also buy less clothes and when I do I shop at thrift stores.

[@jon6309]

Hmm. I tend to organize my clothes. I separate my nice casual wears which I use when in public from my worn out clothes that are in poor condition or no longer my style at home or for sleeping. I try to buy clothes when they are on sale but reflecting back I don’t think I need all these clothes because I tend to use them minimally and even have some clothes with tags on them that haven’t gotten the chance to wear yet but want to.
