Secondhand, thrift shops, charity shops and apps like eBay and Depop have absolutely dominated the Manchester fashion scene this week, with only a couple of people I spoke with having bought new from brands like ASOS and Arket. Oh, and then there's the old-fashioned way of 'shopping' secondhand - raiding mum's wardrobe.
Once again I've hit the streets of Manchester - namely the Northern Quarter and Piccadilly Gardens - where I spoke to shoppers and workers about their outfits, including where they bought them, how much they cost, and what influences their sense of style.
For some, moving house often means packing light, while mum-to-be Deanna can only wear a limited amount of her wardrobe as her bump grows. Others have been conscious of their consumption, and have slowed down on their fashion purchases to wear vintage and pre-loved wears.
