Hello, I haven't used reddit before so I might make mistakes. Also english isn't my first language so I apologize for my writing and grammar. Oh and I'm planning to ask this in different subreddits I might imagine to get an answer from. Oh and sorry if that has been asked before.
Situation: I'd say that I'm trying to be a rather sustainable person in regards of fashion. Most of my clothes are second hand (thrifted, my sister, vinted, ...) and the ones I bought new I've been wearing for many years. But now I'm on the look for some staples like basic white, gray or black tops that aren't cropped. And if I'm looking for specific pieces I'm usually not too successful in thriftstores. And on Vinted and other sites like depop almost all pieces are cropped or I have to search for hours and hours and then the shipping is more expensive than the product. On reseller sites even on ethical ones there's a (reasonable and understandable) minimum price and often they also have more "special" pieces and not like staples. So I think it's a bit hard for me to not turn to fast fashion brands like hm because I can go there try it on and will know that they'll have staples. However I've decided that I want to completely stop buying from hm and other fast fashion brands. So I wanted to ask if there's a place where you can buy the things that are over produced by those brands and would be thrown away, without actually supporting these brands. Or if there's a online place where you can buy second hand staples/ basics for a not too high price? Don't get me wrong I'm all for fair prices but I currently really don't have the money to purchase a basic top for idk 30€ if it's second hand. I know I know buy once and it'll be cheaper longterm but shortterm it'll still be too expensive for me and fast fashion brand items still often last years for me personally. Based in the EU would be amazing but not necessary. Thank you for reading!
