Buy less and minimalism are concepts not new to the Western World, but in fact are
beginning to be a full trend again within the western space. Buying less I believe is
becoming a larger trend specifically with female consumers because more people
are now aware of the environmental impact of their dollar choices.
Buying less, being mindful with your purchases, and also having a level of integrity
behind the companies you support is going to be a valuable thing.
It is what will keep our world in a healthier place and also make us frankly feel
better about who and why we are supporting what we do.
When it comes to minimalism, a minimalist lifestyle should always be something
we seek. What is the point of owning endless furniture, or niknacks that we have
no real use for? Why accumulate such things that have not further value?
I have always been very minimalistic with my living.
Not only because I seek quality but also because I like very few things.
I think being minimalistic in our day and age, is healthier for everyones mindset.
Why enter the rat race of competition for how many things one can own?
Why have that define your existence or your identity?
I think minimalism will become even more of a norm in society at some point
soon in the future; and I also think companies and business models that promote
minimalism will in turn be a “thing” as well.
Fashion rental, in it’s essence, is a form of minimalism.
It is being able to keep your annual closet mostly free of too many items
not frequently used, just keeping the essentials in your home but being able
to rent out more luxury or exclusive things for vacations, festivals, or events.
Fashion rental; when it is niche’ and of a particular type and quality, will
only grow in popularity.
It will become more normalized in the future as the systems to deliver
fashion rental become more complete. AndeAndrea.com is a big example
of this style of minimalism.
A form of it that is also environmentally friendly and holistically driven.
For the planet, and the people on it.
