Buying clothes can be expensive, especially if you’re anything like us and you have a bit of a fashion habit. However, if you’re looking to save money on fashion but also do your bit for the environment then these eco-friendly ways to save money on fashion tips might help.
Buy Second-Hand
One of the best ways you can make a difference to the environment is to buy second hand. Plenty of clothes make their way into landfills each year and this is often necessary; as it is perfectly possible to sell them (or give them away) instead. The great thing about buying second-hand is that it generally has a much lower price tag than if you were buying it brand new in the shops; so you get to save money while you do it – win, win!
Sell Your Own Clothes
Selling your own clothes is a great way to make money – and do your bit for the environment while you do it. You can even make a general rule that you can only buy clothes with money that you have bought from selling your old ones. This saves you from an ever-expanding wardrobe and helps keep you motivated for selling your own. You could even invest in some funky bespoke packaging and turn your clothes selling hobby into a really fun business venture.
Purchase investment pieces
Thinking about where you are buying from is also a really wise move. Buying from sustainable brands really does help the environment, but they can sometimes seem more expensive. However, if you invest in some well-made, staple pieces then these often last longer than cheaper, fast fashion choices so actually long-term you get much better value for money.
