Second hand clothes

it is widespread case when we are little because a large number of people are in poverty.When the new clothes cost much to a family,they used to accept sibling's second-hand clothes.however,nowadays the situation is gone,nobody have to wear a second-hand clothes,even most ordinary can afford new clothes which are a piece of cake

Depends on the person and their situation. My husband is okay with buying most clothes from Good Will or any thrift store. He doesn't mind buying used, if it means he saves some money, and he rarely gets rid of clothes. He didn't grow up in poverity (and neither did I) but he was raised to live within his means. Which means he won't spend money where it's not needed. However, there are those in our country who will buy new as often as possible while others are in-between. Like my husband I make my clothes last, but unlike my husband my clothes come from Wal-mart.

I buy clothes from Goodwill every now and then when real poor. Most I would not wear but some of the stuff is not bad at all. They even have sales on second hand clothes I always get a kick out of that. Goodwill here is actually the cheapest, Salvation Army does it too but they are pretty expensive compare to Goodwill. I always think might as well buy brand new for those prices. Clothing is more well kept or nicer at Salvation Army and it does help them stay funded so they can help actual poor people.

Since my elder sisters are all girls, hand me down is very common to us and later we give them to our younger cousins

Here, too, clothes were inherited, but now fewer and fewer people want to take them.

I'm facing this problem too.

I don't mind hand me downs. I still buy at thrift stores.

Probably the fashion style is not up to their liking.

It really depends from person to person, I personally have nothing against second hand clothes and have bought some previously,

As an eldest child in the family, it was always my siblings who wore my clothes when they were no longer fitting to me.

Rightly said. Now noone wears it. I use to wear it too

We still do that at least in our children...

I am okay with second hand clothes, if I know who was the one previously wearing. Though, you are absolutely right, even maid disagree to wear used ones

Here in my country we usually donate, sell or give away our second hand clothes to people who need it most. When I was little we do not usually buy expensive clothes but rather have those second hand clothes next to our sister or brother clothes that doea not fit with then already, and despite the crisis and poverty in our country we usually donate it rather than putting it in the trash. As long as the clothes are still good to be use.

hi there! good to see you again here on mylot.. well, i don't know if you will remember me but I remember "allknowing"... I used to give my old clothes to our previous maid. she gladly accepted it. Now, I gave some to our neighbor.. There are people who are not choosy over things and will gladly accept anything good from others... stay safe!

I used to wear the clothes of my elder brother when I was a child . Now my kids are twins so they both have the same size. My wife hands over the clothes which get short to my brother's kids or her sister's kids these days.

There are lots of second hand places here.

Very occasionally a friend might give me clothing she no longer needs but mostly I donate clothes I don't want to an op shop/thrift store.

It is the dame for us, siblings during those times when we could not buy new clothes.

I had that also.. I use to have handed over clothes from my sister and that is fine with me.. as of now, I choose my own clothes and if it does not fit me, I hand it over to my niece, if they don't like it, I will keep it and give it to the people who are in needs, Like the victims of the typhoon and the likes
