Winter Trends You Need To Jump On
“Vintage is the new norm. The planet is saved. The world is great again.”
Vintage clothing, everyone is talking about it but have you jumped on the trend?
To the left we have a gilet from the 80’s. Priced at £60, there is nothing better to spice up your style with clothing from the past. The iced out colour way is a perfect reflection of the cold months ahead.
I found this item on Depop which is a great place to find vintage clothing. My favourite store is DRIP STEEZ. They seem to have the biggest range I’ve seen so far.
There are endless ways you can take vintage fashion. For the price you pay at Zara and other fast fashion producers, I’d much rather get a piece of vintage for the same price!
The vintage fleece. An everyday garm that will keep you looking warm and fly at the same time. Who doesn't want that combination! Again, purchased on Depop for a reasonable £40. If you look on any fast fashion website for a thick fleece, it will always cost more than £40.
Fast fashion is the third most polluting industry in the world. With companies such as Pretty Little Thing selling jackets as cheap as 8p, it is mind boggling that they can make a profit on that. The cost of making an item must be ridiculously low if they are selling items that cheap.
That can only mean one thing,
SWEAT SHOPS!
The fashion industry contributes to 8.1% of the green house gass emissions. Reusing or buying used clothing could heavily reduce that number.
There are plenty of clothes already made out there, Why make more!
To the left is my final purchase of this month. A 1990’s Nautica sailing jacket, retailing at over £200 brand new. I picked it up for £60 on Depop on my favorite store, DRIP STEEZ. This is a timeless classic that will keep you warm during the winter months ahead!
Under 1% of the materials used to make clothing are recyclable, so why not recycle pieces that are already make! Make the world green again!
