Thank you so much Trinny, the way you spoke about differing budgets was very considerate and appreciated x

How refreshing!
I love that you are not just promoting buying high end fashion. I have noticed that many younger YouTubers are not noticing that cheaper brands also produce clothing that is good enough to become one of those well loved pieces that remain in one's wardrobe for decades!

Can you make a video on shopping at a charity store! Would love to see you find classic pieces and how to style them. Love your videos!!

[SpencerLevey]

I could listen to Trinny read the Yellow pages.

I agree Trinny! If you love and take care of what you buy and enjoy wearing it for years that is sustainable.

Whilst you can find lovely pieces at thrift stores, unless you are living in a metropolitan centre, it is slim pickings. Shopping sustainable is a privilege in itself. Not everyone has options. She is advising people to shop thoughtfully, with purpose and to take care of your garments. This will reduce waste and limit needless consumption.

I love you Trinny. Happy new year! 💗 Sustainability means different things to different people. Some are taking a minimalist approach, shopping vintage stores, looking for ethically sourced fabrics, assessing cost per wear, but for some the ethics and work practice of a brand is important factor in sustainability. The ethics and working conditions for employees provided by brands like Zara and H&M are a real issue, but how do we change this? Boycotting the brands may affect these people more. High profile, people like Trinny could be a driving force for change. We all want inexpensive clothes, but it’s at the cost of people’s lives. These fast fashion retailers have forced many retailers in Australia to close their doors because they can’t compete. I applaud brands like Everlane and we should be supporting these brands more. I’m in no way perfect, I have more clothes than I need and love fashion, but I want to do more to change in 2020. The message I got from this is that we need to shop for what suits us and look for timeless quality styles that will work with other pieces. It’s nothing new, but I think we sometimes forget when you’ve got the sales assistant telling you how amazing you look in something you’ll only wear once. 🥰

It's wonderful that you keep your clothes for a long time and pay attention to cost per wear - that is a step towards sustainability. Unfortunately, the workers who produce Zara clothes in foreign countries don't get paid a fair wage, and often work in dangerous and unsafe conditions. Moreover, there's a lot of waste in the garment industry and purchasing new items promotes even more pollution. Most of the items at Zara are made from manmade fibres such as polyester, acrylic, and polyurethane, which take decades to biodegrade when they inevitably end up in the landfill. "Sustainable shopping with fast fashion" simply isn't possible unless you buy a fast fashion item secondhand. In fact, secondhand shopping is the most sustainable way to shop. I'd love for you to make a video about buying vintage or secondhand!

Thank you so much for sharing your experiences and allowing us to learn from you. Thank you to Team Trinny for putting in that hard work behind the screen! ❤️

I would really appreciate an episode on how to find certain high quality key pieces for people who are vegan and want to abstain from animal based products. The really nice long coats, suits often times use wool. Shoes and bags real leather etc.

Keep spreading joy! ❤️

[thedifferenttraveller]

She is absolutely right : It's more about preciousness than the price I paid for the item.

[d.d.mac.]

Great video. I also love how your little dog often manages to see find his mummy.

I agree with Trinny... even though zara is a fast fashionable clothes it is also affordable and more even affordable when it’s on sale... but you have to choose the right one that suit’s for yourself. Wearing clothes still depends on how u carry ur self wether u are using an expensive one or not.

[victoriamanousaki]

I love how you take clothes from ZARA and make them all time classic! ❤️

[loricrut]

Thank you for having women feel good on what they buy, rather than how much their clothing are .

[jhwwebster]

So much in my wardrobe is Zara and I am super picky about fit. Some seasons I buy one item (this year a green crinkly rain coat) and some I buy quite a bit. I love the unusual cuts and shapes Zara will come out with from time to time.

[EllenRCox]

That white shirt <3 <3 <3 I have a mohair jumper with sequin details in Exeter H&M when I lived in the UK in 2006 and still love it. It's just a classic.

[edorelainewestman]

Yellow color highlights everything that you’re wearing in addition to that yellow yellow brings out everything

[schatzip]

I always feel amazing looking at my wardrobe because I know I supported companies that care about the environment, the communities the clothes and materials were made in and offer women a safe environment and a living wage. Plus the stitching and materials are superb! Its a win, win, win,

[bronyk]

My husband bought me a faux fur leopard coat as a wedding present and its very have been married 23 years I love the coat because its never gone out of fashion♥️🇦🇺
