Shopping for a new outfit can mean going to the mall or shopping stores online for the latest seasonal looks, but the waste created by the fashion industry is well-known and astounding. To counteract this, vintage fashion bargains are becoming trendy with eco-conscious fashionistas, as well as those on a budget.

Manufacturing new clothing causes a huge strain on environmental resources, so if you want to shop sustainable vintage instead, there are a few tips that can be helpful. You can find great vintage clothing in many places, from markets, garage sales, op shops, auctions, antique shops and vintage boutiques, which are popping up all over major cities. You can find lots of vintage clothing online as well, with sites like eBay, Etsy and Ruby Lane being good places to start.
