As someone trying to shop more sustainably, Laura Tobin’s tips on buying secondhand and rediscovering your own wardrobe resonated with me

Whilst attending the RHS Chelsea Flower Show, woman&home caught up with Broadcaster and Meteorologist Laura Topin, and she filled us in on her refreshing take on shopping your own wardrobe, buying secondhand and borrowing clothing from your friends when necessary.

As a Fashion Writer, I understand the everyday pressures of keeping your outfit rotation new and exciting, which is why Laura's candid observation that “we wear 20% of our wardrobe 80% of the time" is worth thinking about. And although refreshing your spring capsule wardrobe from the high-street is often necessary, taking advice from Laura and buying secondhand when you can not only helps the planet but it can also reduce your outgoings too.
