Only buy new clothing when you genuinely need it- it cuts down on waste and saves you some money. A lot of us have found ourselves in a situation where we buy new clothes but they just sit there unused forever. When you’re shopping, ask yourself: “Will I use this all the time?”. If you love to shop, changing your mindset is definitely something that takes practice over time. The goal is to only go shopping when you have a specific item you need. And of course, treat yourself now and again if you think you look amazing in something.

My personal favourite is looking in charity shops first. You’re reusing clothes that would have otherwise been thrown away and it’s so much cheaper- you are also donating to a charity at the same time. All of my jeans are from charity shops. I even found some Levis which fit me perfectly and they were really cheap. It was heaven-sent after many unsuccessful trips raking through second hand garments.

If you decide to buy something and end up not liking it, you can just donate it back to the charity shop. People from all walks of life donate their old clothes- you could find some unique items you’ve never seen before or a beautiful vintage piece.Trust the process and keep looking. You will find something you love, guaranteed; even if it takes a few trips.
