I'm not sure what you mean here with not buying. Do you mean not replacing clothes seasonally based on what's "en vogue"? If so, that may be why women make up

I'm not sure what you mean here with not buying. Do you mean not replacing clothes seasonally based on what's "en vogue"? If so, that may be why women make up most of the donations: they do tend to use clothes for a much shorter time.
I still remember being shocked when I spoke to a young lady who told me she wore a dress two times at most. I've never been much of an environmentalist, but I guess I can feel good about keeping clothes for years and not changing them with styles.
- cosmodisk 7y agoI used to dress relatively well.Lots of good quality clothes. Then I put on lots of weight and was like " fuck it,I look like shit anyway", so started buying the cheap stuff. A pair of jeans-£6, t-shirts-£3, etc.The only exception is footwear- I don't buy cheap shoes,as they are crap. £6 jeans last only a couple of months before they become unwearable,as the material is usually subpar. So I kept buying them every 2 month or so. However recently I stopped buying this cheap crap,and usually buy clothes that are high quality and they do last. That's how I'd describe less consumption.
