I did 2 fashion-no-buy-years in a row some time ago. It actually was way easier than I had expected and after about the first 3-4 month the urge to by anything new just disappeared. Now I purchase about 4 new pieces a year, mainly to replace broken items or pieces too used to be suitable for the office. It saved me time, energy and money and transformed the way I think about clothes and shopping. Highly recommend.

I had read the tip in a book about minimalism once, that when we go to an art exhibition, we don't expect to take any of the paintings home and should treat more things the same way. So I just visited the 'exhibition' in my favourite brands online shops. Might not work for everyone, but for me it did.

This is why I liked the work from home. I was able to wear my t-shirts and shorts from 10 years ago even though they have tiny holes in them because no one cares what you look like at home and I didn’t need to dress up just to get my work done.

Having less clothes and quality pieces makes a big difference. Less clothes really helps getting dressed become so much easier!!

I'm glad I never had this problem. When I was young, we would usually go shopping twice a year, only during the two sale seasons. My mother would buy me only a reasonable amount of clothes, and I would get some from my sisters cousins etc.. And it hasn't stopped since, I love good deals thrifting and being given clothes for free!

I'm exactly the same!

At the beginning of Covid, I did less 'in person' shopping, and I've never had luck buying clothes online (fit, fabric, or overall quality has always been a disappointment). One weekend I decided to 'shop my closet' and really look at what was in there. It was a SHOCK. I thought I knew what I had! So many outdated, too big or too small, or unflattering items shoved to the back - wow. I got rid of two big bags immediately. Then I started digging in - every day I forced myself to wear something I hadn't worn in a while. I found that I had about 260 tops in the house! Some were in storage boxes or in an old dresser in another room which I had totally forgotten about. Some were literally 4 sizes too small - but others were items I've had for literally 30 years and they still look good - and make me feel good! So I wore a top, washed it, and put it on the left side of the closet or drawer. I kept taking from the right hand side. Each time I wore something that didn't make me feel good, it went into the donation pile. I made bags for friends who are smaller than me or like different styles. After almost a year, my closets had only clothes that fit, that I liked, and that I knew I'd use. I felt no need to shop because I have so much! I don't know if others have this situation, but it's worth a try - you may be surprised.

that is a pretty great idea! sometimes you really need to wear a piece in order to realize that it fits or and makes you feel good. will apply that! :)

when you prioritize comfort and haven't bought clothes in literally years

I stopped going to shopping malls as a form of entertainment and only go when I need something specific, which eliminated my impulse buying altogether. Figuring out what I need beforehand instead of buying something I saw because it's cute has also helped me cut down on buying clothes

I wish there was any mention of sustainability in this video. Like when you start buying again, check some pre-owned clothing instead of fast fashion stores. Thrift stores, thred up, poshmark, depop, facebook marketplace, vintage, there are many sources now for pre-owned clothing and you can often get a high quality used piece for the same (or less) than a brand new fast fashion piece. Trend cycles are getting shorter and shorter so almost any current trend can be found in the pre-owned market. It's not only about saving money, it's also about reducing textile waste.

I just couldn't part with my most beloved items!!! Finally, during pandemic lockdown, while most people gained 20 *I lost 50* ! Fitting into those beloved size 4s again has revitalized my life! The icing on the cake is that I still have the items that truly "spark my joy"!

I usually keep one size up and two sizes down - anything more than that I get rid of! My weight does fluctuate, so I know I'll probably get use out of them.

I've never really been a part of fast fashion unless you count graphic tees from Walmart. I did do a huge cleanout of my wardrobe about 4 years ago and decide that I would not wear anything that wasn't comfortable. I threw out all the tank tops that I had to keep pulling up and all the pants that just felt too restrictive. I cut down to a few pairs of shoes that I love both bc of simplicity and bc bad shoes really agrivate my joint pain. I tried to buy clothes that would pair well with the rest of my whole wardrobe so no matter what's in the wash I can wear most of my clothes with whatever bottom that's clean. The result is a wardrobe that I can reach into any day and find a comfy outfit that looks good enough for a job interview. It really helps my self esteem.

This video made me add up how much I spent on clothes (including undergarments) and shoes in 2021. I am shook. I thought I only spend like $600 last year and it was almost $1500. That’s a ridiculous amount considering how much I ended up giving away because I just wasn’t wearing it. You don’t realize how much you spend when it’s a purchase here and there. I am definitely doing a “no buy year” in 2022.

100% agree with the practices above! I have a thrift shop near me that gives 50% discount on items you buy there if you take your old clothes you don't want anymore. I found that thrifting timeless pieces + buying smaller trendy accessories (earrings, hair accessories, etc.) will still create that trendy look, and it's much more sustainable. And with fashion being cyclical, you'll have everything you need very soon. I recently started wearing accessories I bought 10 years ago again because they are in style again.

A great thing about working from home is not having to worry about being "professional." I am a tall athletic person with long feet, and "professional" women's clothing seems to be designed mainly for short, unmuscular people.. making finding something I like and that fits nearly impossible. I always favored sport/casual clothing (I would love to wear exclusively bouldering pants) because it fits and is comfortable, and now I can because I don't have to show up to a corporate setting. Going to work generally made me feel like a weirdo and knocked my confidence because I felt like such an imposter, trying to fit in and failing.

My issue is finding nice classic pieces that fit my body type. I don’t know how but I can find clothes that fit me at Walmart but not Dillards

Last year, I bought some cheap clothes for summer (of which because I work from home, I only wore out when going grocery shopping. I don't have anyone I hang out with and am generally a homebody anyways). That was my first time clothes shopping in nearly a decade. My mom sometimes finds thrifted stuff and gives it to me, even here in my 30's, lol. She gave me a large donation of lounge wear, which was perfect for all the time I'm home now. The thought that going six months without buying clothes is something difficult for people is a bit hard to conceive for me, but big kudos to the narrator for realizing their issue and planning out some alternate options.

$3200 a year on clothes? I doubt I've spent that much in the last 10 years combined. This really highlights the divide between those with higher and lower incomes. The lessons learned are things people who did not grow up affluent pretty much know by the time they're in their 20s and have to learn that it's ok to buy "investment pieces" once we do have the income because we are so accustomed to make do and do without.

Gentleman's gazette had an interesting KZread video how to wash and maintain wool sweaters. It included suggestions that I hadn't heard before and that I'll definitely try on my thrifted sweater dress that I love.

I did this unintentionally during lockdown anyway. It has changed the way I shop for clothes and I’ve only purchased a handful of clothes since. The most expensive item I’ve bought since lockdown are trainers, (sneakers) to replace my old, fraying ones and even though they were in the sale, the price was eye watering to me, where as I know before I wouldn’t have really noticed.

I did this a couple years ago. Came up with a perfect capsule wardrobe. ...And then hit menopause and everything was completely incompatible with hot flashes. (I love chunky turtleneck sweaters.) So now I'm starting over.

My problem is online shopping and specifically during the winter (I hate summer clothes). It's so easy and convenient and there's always something new calling my name, there are always sales, and I can never resist a nice warm grey sweater... I always justify it by saying that this is the 'non essential' thing I spend my money on (and skincare by I got better at that). I don't really like to go out, spending money on restaurants or bars, I don't have expensive hobbies, I don't have children to take care of... so it kind of okay but I admit I could make an effort and save more money. Time for a saving challenge! :)

I was so happy a few years ago when I figured out I have a wool setting on my washer. I don’t think I’ve been to the dry cleaner since.

I am coming to the end of a 6-month cloths shopping ban. I wanted it to be a year, but a red workout outfit stained much of my clothes. I am working hard to bleach the whites and they are recovering, but some of the colored pieces are not recovering. I'll likely have to replace them after 6 months are over because they are basics that I wear all the time. My husband bought me a llama wool sweater, socks and hat in Peru a month ago as gifts. Other than those two errors, I think I can make it to the 1-year mark (but does it really count if my husband bought me some items of clothing and I replaced a few things I ruined)? Still, I've reduced my consumption. I am also going through my closet and purging what I don't wear by giving them to girlfriends and good will. My closet is more organized and manageable now. I want to use this method for the whole house now!

I'm now at the stage of humility that i admit i'm a messy eater and wear an apron at home to save my clothes. So glad in fact - i don't actually like handwashing, or staining and ruining my favourite items!

I buy a lot of things for my hobbies: buying books (e-books) and mangas and artbooks. subscribing to multiple streaming platforms, supporting some KZreadrs via Patreon, buying yarns (love knitting), and checking some PC gadgets. I also love to cook many dishes from different regions and some ingredients are rather expensive.

Due to a disability I am an early retiery, which has left me far beyond my countries poverty line. I come from an interesting family background because I come from a very wealthy family. My parents split from the rest of the family and we eventually went down to middle class and eventually became poor. So I experienced it all in a way. My grandma used to buy me baby clothes which could now pay my rent for a year. It is really crazy to me. These days I have an involuntary no spend year 😂 Since I stumble and fall a lot and have cats and a dog, I go through a lot of clothing. Because of that I don't buy high quality shirts or pants. What I do spend more on though are thick high quality pullovers, shoes and jackets. I personally also recommend getting second hand leather jackets. They are easy to take care of and almost indestructible, as well as really affordable. My last 2 cost 20€.

It wouldn't make any sense to throw out very nice, expensive clothes that I love just to find out I might need new ones when I finally get to that weight again. Weight fluctuations have been a huge factor in losing money through clothes in my life, so I always save them now or lend them out to friends/family in the meantime if they need something. Why would you throw them out when you already know you'll need them again?

It's otherworldly experience. Currently I don't own any clothing that I bought myself new. All it is given, gifted or second handed. And the last time I had my new "non-new" clothing was over the year ago. And some people has to take a effort to no buy clothes. Wow.

I really don’t understand the point of this comment and all the ones like it. Did you really think that we all have the same spending habits? Some people buy coffee everyday. Others buy lottery tickets every week. There’s is absolutely something you buy regularly that someone else never buys. So what is your point? That you’re somehow holier than the OP because you don’t buy one specific category of things?

Not to mention the fashion industry is one of the most polluting!

Is 6 months supposed to be long? I haven’t shopped for clothes in years....

Amen!!!

Oh that’s what am doing now. As of Dec until June no new clothes. But gotta buy some new underwear i think.

What was she buying in H&M and forever 21 that could come to £1800?????

My favorite videos Can we have 3 videos every week of these ? Plz Pleaase

These are rich person's problem, mostly. I learned to darn my socks and resaw buttons in primary school, and I wear my clothes until they fall apart. And shoes.

People buy clothes at intervals shorter than 6 months? I haven’t bought any since the pandemic started XD

i like buying clothes this is good blog

People who brag about never having had this problem usually don't have much fashion sense 😂 look don't jump on me ok? I just find it funny 😜 I think this issue goes really deep actually to searching for who you are in a sense. It's a really interesting topic!

i havent bought new clothes in 4 years...

Is the reason Chelsea is not presenting this because of what I have just heard her derisively refer to in another video as 'no buy' exercises are a privilege of the wealthy? Her soapbox is useful when it suits her - it is noticeably absent when it comes time to produce some content.

Shop in thrift stores. Everything except undies and socks. That solves all the problems.

I suppose this would be a very good basic video for a well-off middle class person who's never given it any thought before. Other than that...not so much.
