And so what if you go off it after a few wears – it was cheap, right? The thing is for all the benefits of cheap clothing, there are also cons that come with it and we need to be more aware of those too.

It calls for a change in mindset. The less we buy into fast fashion clothing, the less demand there is for the production of new garments, which in turn means a lot less natural resources being unsustainably used up.
