It's great, you were able to take a hand me down and turn it into something that looks like it was made for a Gen Z. Your story shows how with the right creativity, you can save a lot of money on clothes. Well done.

The clothes are always in good condition because our parents were able to afford quality clothes and went for them. Nothing bad in wearing your parents stuff. Saves you the financial pressure of having to buy when you don't have money.

That's true. You just got to be creative with these things. If you allow your mind to explore you can refashion your parents clothes and wear them provided they have not faded in color.

I love hand-me-down clothes from my mom because accepting hand-me-down clothes can be a meaningful and practical choice that goes beyond simply receiving clothing. It can strengthen family ties, promote sustainability, and instill values that extend beyond the realm of fashion.

That's right. Beyond the cost saving measure,it makes the bond stronger and your parents would feel elated that their little baby is now wearing their clothes. Above all too, it saves money.

That's true. The great benefits of parents passing down their clothes to their kids goes beyond saving cost. As a young kid, people thought I had lots of wears but they didn't know that they were all my mom's wears because I grew so fast that her clothes fit me when I was 15.

Fast fashion has spiralled out of control, and because people get rid of their clothes after a few wears and sometimes throw them in the wrong places, fashion has become a threat to the environment. I personally visit a huge second hand clothes market and get most of my clothes there now.

Our parents clothes last long because it was made with good quality fabrics. Nowadays a lot of clothes are made from polyester, that is why they are cheap but also they look awful after wearing them a couple of times



You're absolutely right... clothes used to be made to last, as is the case with gadgets and eclectronic appliances. Nowadays, everything breaks within a year. Clothes are poor quality yet cost a lot more :shock:

They cost more because it involves more technology to transform plastic (petroleum) into polyester, and ends up being more harmful to us and the environment. We need to return to noble fabrics like cotton, linen, wool and cashmere.

It is actually true that articles of clothing have lost so much value in today's world. And our parents clothes can give us quality cotton materials for free.

And if you check well, our parents have these cotton fabrics. That's why they have lasted long enough to have a possibility of being handed down to us.

That implies that taking your parents old clothes has the double advantage of giving you quality clothes for a complete zero costs. Makes sense to save money with that.
