Thrifting is greatly important to me because it’s a more sustainable way to get clothing at very affordable prices.
When people shop at thrift and second-hand stores, they help the earth by saving clothes from going into landfills which then end up creating harmful gasses that are released and contribute to climate change. Thrifting is also a great way to source good quality clothing, and much lower prices, that you can’t find in any mall or stores. It can be considered a different form of recycling.
Thrifting can be a staple of teens’ clothing. Due to a high rise in sustainable clothing fashion trends spreading through social media, 46% of teens throughout the nation are visiting thrift stores for clothing.
Another reason thrifting is great is because it’s a way to find clothes from different generations. Many new trends arose in the past months and most of them revolve over 2000s fashion. Therefore thrifting is a great way to source clothing from these generations.
Thrifting helps teens save money because of how affordable the clothing is. Thrifting is important because although some teens might not have much money for clothing, they will greatly benefit by being able to obtain clothes of a certain style they love, and high end labels, for so much less. Some popular brands to look out for while thrifting are Ed Hardy, Southpole, Rock Revival jeans, Affliction, Bebe, True Religion, Ralph Lauren, and so much more.
Thrifting is a great way for the teens of this generation to show their support for the safety and wellbeing of the environment by keeping textiles out of our landfills and keep our air fresh without any harmful gasses that will cause health problems.
