That reads almost like a George Carlin joke (I mean it in a good way).
It would be better if people thrifted more rather than always buying new. Thrifting is hit or miss though depending on where you are and what surrounding area the donations are sourced from.
Go thrifting in around a big city or rich suburbs and it's more likely to find "diamonds in the rough" like designer brands and basically unworn clothing.
But go thrifting in an area with a worse GDP (i.e. poorer), and the finds are a lot of stuff like ugly free t-shirts from random events and average clothes that are already >50% through their lifespan.
- nine_k 7y agoThis sounds attractive when you have more time than money. I buy new clothes because I can quickly find a wide selection online, filter through it by size, price, etc, and be done buying a whole new set of clothes (that replace worn-out clothes) in the same 2-3 hours it takes to go to a thrift store or two, and find 1-2 pieces that fit. I'm fashion-oblivious though; for people who want to look just so this approach would be rather expensive.
