Circular Fashion: Can there be a Win-Win formula for retailers and consumers?
In the world of fashion, the concept of circularity is revolutionizing the way we think about our clothes. It’s not just about buying less and wearing longer; it’s about creating a sustainable cycle that benefits everyone.
The circular fashion Win-Win formula, “Think in Looks and Try before you Buy,” is at the forefront of this movement, promising to reduce returns and waste dramatically, while providing a guilt-free shopping attitude and enormous wardrobe utilization potential.
Thinking in Looks means curating outfits that are not only stylish but also versatile and complementary. It’s about envisioning the life cycle of your garments – from the store to your wardrobe, and eventually, to the pre-loved resale platform. This approach encourages consumers to buy complete looks, ensuring that each item has a clear purpose and fits well within their existing collection.
Trying before Buying is the second crucial element of this formula. It’s a simple yet effective practice that can save you from the disappointment of ill-fitting clothes and the hassle of returns. Most of us are omnichannel anyway and enjoy the vibrant in-store shopping experience more than fast but less emotional online purchasing. By trying on clothes before making a purchase, especially when shopping online, you ensure that what you buy is what you’ll wear.
But how do we turn these concepts into a habit? The answer lies in technology.
Imagine a mobile application that allows you to scan an item’s barcode in the store and instantly see how it would look with other pieces in your wardrobe. This app would not only help you visualize potential outfits but also track the sustainability of your choices.
A useful habit of Thinking in Looks and Trying before Buying powered by new technology helps retailers reduce their huge costs of returns and invest more in clothes quality, design and personalized experience.
