如果你在意“快时尚”给气候变化造成的影响,那么旧衣新穿也许更适合你。

The trend is changing as retro or vin⁃tage clothing is becoming a popular alter⁃native.

The fashion industry has rebranded second⁃hand clothing to make it look tren⁃dy and possibly give it a higher price tag.Whereas we may have seen an old faded pair of jeans sold at a jumble sale, now there are boutiques and pop⁃up shops dedi⁃cated to the stuff. And in the UK, one su⁃permarket chain has started selling second⁃hand clothes in some of its stores under the brand. Its managing director Steve Ly⁃nam said,“The more people buy into the circular economy and shop for the second⁃hand clothing, the bigger impact we will have on climate change.”

Certainly, buying second⁃hand cloth⁃ing does prolong the life of clothing.It cuts down on waste and helps to reduce the en⁃vironmental damage caused by manufac⁃turing new clothes. It has also led to the rise of retro⁃fashion—items that your mum or dad wore decades ago that now look“cool”again!Surprisingly,the new genera⁃tion are looking to make choices that re⁃duce their impact on the environment,with 77% of Gen Z saying that their biggest en⁃vironmental concern being that they want their choices to reduce waste.

Another popular way of buying old clothes is in a vintage kilo sale. People pick what they want and then pay accord⁃ing to weight rather than per item. How⁃ever, these second⁃hand clothes are worn or re⁃designed. The sustainability of vin⁃tage fashion means it's here to stay for some time to come.
