I usually strip the nearest bystander from their clothes when I feel like I deserve a new clothing article to add to my collection, it’s a cheaper and more efficient solution to searching and buying clothes.

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.

Literally made my own shirt recently, it’s so much more liberating to make EXACTLY what you want from scratch.

thanks so much for this. I work in the environmental industry and also love fashion and it's really tough to support the current wasteful feeling of fast fashion. Buying new clothes for the sake of capitalism and you're urges is not healthy and if you really care about fashion, you can look good with half the amount you purchase.

I’m not even that big into fashion but your videos are just mad entertaining to watch

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.

Low key Christians comparisons and analogies are so top tier. Especially the end about how wasting money on clothes is similar to having your Spotify playlist on shuffle. He transitioned into that so seamlessly

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!

thrifting has really only led me to buy so much more than i actually use, i’ve had to stop entirely because i just buy a bunch of shit i don’t even like that much and since i’ve just donated it back and now i’m just really focusing on making my own clothes or buying a piece i really really want and love

[ihavenoname]

This is why when I buy clothes, I always make sure that they are timeless and not just following the trends. Buying staples can make more outfits rather than buying a piece of clothing (that you’ll most likely never wear again) just cuz you have a specific outfit in mind. Buy things that you would actually wear in 2-5 years time!

When aiming towards a new wardrobe I wrote down a guideline style, colors, materials like denim, suede, vegan/leather etc, shoe types and such and this helped with a consistent closet.

I feel like everyone is realizing something important about themselves recently or just in general

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 YouTube 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.

Perfect timing- I’ve started a year of no new clothes (including secondhand). My goal is to really work on styling the things I already have. I have some pieces I love, and they aren’t getting the wear they should be.

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.
