i've been trying to wear whats already in my closet more often instead of always looking for something new. Its been a nice reminder that i already have a lot of pieces i enjoy wearing. Has anyone else made a small change thats helped them get more use out of their clothes?

Don’t get me wrong, secondhand shopping is great. But it is often portrayed as THE solution to fast fashion’s problems, and it can get out of hand quite fast.
It’s not only about the fact that secondhand fashion can only circulate what has already been made (nowadays, a lot of fast fashion too), does not stop brands from producing more or create an incentive for brands to produce more ethically either.
But there is also a mindset problem. Growing resale platforms can fuel a ‘guilt-free shopping’ mentality, encouraging us to buy more because it feels more sustainable, even when we don’t actually need it. Or some people even buy fast fashion more recklessly, knowing they can easily resell it later.
Curious what your take on this is. Do you try to balance secondhand shopping with supporting ethical and more sustainable brands that are producing new clothes?
Hello everyone! Would love a second opinion.
I am a doula, former career nanny, and current house manager. The family I am working for is giving away onesies since they are done having children, and a large amount of them are magnetic me brand.
As a doula, magnetic onesies are on my social media/website as a “parent must have”. My mom boss recommended I take the magnetic onesies (worn not a lot, they had MANY onesies) to put in postpartum baskets for my clients.
I would take them home, wash them with non toxic scent free laundry mix (I usually use non toxic no scent) before adding them to the baskets.
My question: is that weird? I wouldn’t include the price or tag if I bought new onesies anyways , and thought it would be a good way to recycle baby clothes and a way for new parents to try.
Hi all! I'm looking for what feels like the holy grail of leggings, at least somewhat sustainable, breathable, and can be worn 2-3x without bagging/losing shape. I'm going on a trip with limited access to laundry, so keeping shape for multiple wears really is the main concern (along with not being transparent, I had this issue with the pact leggings I tried).
Comprar roupa hoje em dia é quase um campo minado: fast fashion, preço baixo, qualidade duvidosa...Como vcs decidem se uma peça realmente vale o investimento? Olham pra qualidade do tecido? Pra durabilidade? Pra versatilidade?
Queria entender como outras pessoas pensam antes de comprar uma roupa. Isso me ajuda a melhorar minha visão sobre moda.
In your product development process what is the biggest source of costs and waste?
