How, by 2024, the fashion sector will set the standard for sustainability

People are seeking for additional methods to be wise this summer, and that includes smart purchasing habits for clothing, as living expenses keep rising and budgets stay tight all year long.

One option to be in style this season and save the quantity of rubbish that could wind up in landfills is to take advantage of Worth The Weight's vintage kilo bargains, reported Melon Times. 

It should come as no surprise that the fashion business uses the second most water globally, after agriculture. Because of the increased demand for apparel, the sector is also accountable for 10% of the world's carbon emissions. 

Thankfully, the fashion business is witnessing a change in customer purchasing behavior. The pre-owned clothes market has grown by 18% to reach £156 billion this year, and is predicted to reach $350 billion by 2028. An article published in the March issue of British Vogue predicts that "craft" will be this year's Spring/Summer trend for readers, and it's the ideal method to update any piece of apparel! It also demonstrates how clothing items are given new life by crochet embellishment and how Diesel, a fashion brand, employs shredded denim for party outfits.

This kind of endorsement can help regular consumers recycle and reuse items they currently own that they may have written off, and it can also contribute to the growing trend of vintage kilo sales, such as Worth The Weight, which are taking place around the nation. Fashionistas, who are constantly looking for their next ideal preowned item, are flocking to these events

"Our events remain increasingly popular, obviously we're seeing summer stock fly off the rails but people know a bargain when they see it – our events have a full range of departments from nappa jackets to short shorts," said Chris Davies, the organizer of Worth The Weight. | BGNES
