Thrifting offers a way to discover unique fashion items while promoting sustainability. As the secondhand market continues to grow, it is projected to be worth $350 billion next year, highlighting the increasing popularity of purchasing used clothing. This trend is seen as a positive shift away from fast fashion, which contributes significantly to landfill waste.
