There’s a lot to love about shopping for secondhand clothes. It will satisfy retail cravings but comes with less environmental guilt, offering an antidote to the overproduction of fast fashion, and it can be kinder on your bank account.
However, it also comes with its own problems. It’s hard to assess the fit, and returns aren’t always easy. The often next-to-nothing price means it’s tempting to impulse buy, but then you end up with a wardrobe full of unworn pieces that aren’t quite right – speaking from experience. And, it’s not easy to “browse” when each product is essentially one-of-a-kind.
