If going a bit more upmarket, then yeah, I'd imagine £30 a throw would do, but you might need a go a bit higher for hoodies.

IMO don't write off department stores though, they sell the same stuff...I like my clothes but TJ Hughes has been my reliable supplier of cheap Adidas Super Suede's, Levis and a fair bit of EA7 gear for many years.

What? The carbon footprint of fast fashion is worse than car exhaust. It was demonstrated by an undergrad some two yrs ago and rapidly buried! Acres of wool, cotton and nylon harvested only to be consigned to landfill. Not to mention the raw power of the mills required to process and weave it. Those huge factories you see belching smoke are not all power stations.

But no need to buy new ones twice a year. Would you do so with a car?

No one mentioned timescales. Cars are made of mostly metal and plastic, which generally lasts longer than cotton.

Dude, clothes exist, just make peace with it. :bebored:

So what? People need to wear clothes. If you want to wear the same thing all year round or want to wear a recycled paper bag, you’re free to do so.

Those 1850's pics of Manchester belching smoke were cotton mills, not steel mills. All we have done is export the pollution for the benefit of the fashion conscious.
