If someone remembers you repeating an outfit, it must have been a damn good one – so why are we always so determined to step out in something new? Let people remember your fit (and tell them you planned it on the Whering app).
Isn’t it sad that 33% of women view a garment as old when it has only been worn once or twice? As a society led by consumerism, we drastically need to change how we view shopping and clothing. I promise I will stop with the stats, but how can we ignore that 60% of fast fashion ends up in landfill, and only 11% of clothing companies actually implement recycling strategies for product returns? Besties, we know you got good taste, so celebrate the clothes you already own because they look amazing on you (and they don’t hurt the planet).
Whilst we recommend purchasing ethically sourced clothes if you want them to last a while, some items from high street stores have the potential to last years too. If you feel like you’re part of the 33% that feel bored of clothes after one or two wears, try these tips to make your ‘old’ outfits feel brand new.
Good luck on your outfit repeating journey✨ Share your fits with us on Twitter or Instagram @Whering_.
