FASHION NEEDS AND CONSUMPTION - IMMEDIATE ENVIRONMENT

There’s a wide range of preferences on the basis of fashion needs and consumption in the environment.

I would say, I have incorporated a very little from my family.

My mom is very particular in using every stuff she has.

She is not too much pushed towards “Fast Fashion”.

Most probably she only shops, when there is need for it. I have never seen even a single dress in her wardrobe which she never wears. Because she only buys those, which she need and would wear it. She also uses a garment until it’s completed damaged, from Casual Outwear to Daily wear to Nightwear to House cleaning cloth .

She knows how to save money and make the best use out of the waste. Instead of throwing them away, she gives clothes a longer life.  I think creating new from the old or damaged clothes is one of the best way to save our Earth and surroundings from the damage Fast fashion is creating.

She believes in buying less.

My father buys less because he doesn’t have much time for shopping and all.

He doesn’t experiment much in fashion and don’t have much variety in clothes.

So, he is also not addicted to fast fashion. He mostly have same range of clothes. He makes sure whatever he buys sustains well.

As I have lived in so many different states since my childhood, I have experienced a variety in society and cultures.

I have been to places where I have seen people who are addicted to fast fashion to no extent.

There are majority of people who really consumes fashion mindlessly.

They immediately rush to shopping whenever a new style arrives in the market. Leaving a day or a two they would be seen going to shopping and returning with a no. of bags in their hand.

They have run too ahead from their needs. They keep on fulfilling their wants mindlessly.

People now-a-days don't like repeating their clothes whenever they step out of their house, and especially for any social gatherings, parties, etc.

They would go for buying an outfit for a party, but a beautiful casual dress would catch their attention. And then what happens ??.. They would buy it despite of no need for it.

And.. the social sites, that offers a numerous no. of sales and offer, attract people to buy more at no extent.

The society where we live affects our lifestyle a lot. People try to match their standards with others. People always are keen to buy what the others have. 

But, the people need to look at the condition of our Earth and be aware of the impact they are causing by pushing themselves mindlessly towards Fast Fashion.
