Covid-19 impact on attitudes towards buying and disposing clothing in the UK 2020

The coronavirus (Covid-19) pandemic has led to a crisis in the apparel and clothing industry with the slowdown of global supply of clothing for leading fashion brands. While this has led to some soul searching for the fast fashion sector, on the consumer side of the issue, the impact seems to be minimum. According to the findings of a recent survey conducted in the United Kingdom, when asked if the Covid-19 lockdown has impacted the way they think about buying and disposing clothing, 30 percent of respondents said this wasn't something they considered. Only a combined share of eight percent of UK individuals said the lockdown had a lot of/a fair amount of impact on the way they purchased and got rid of clothing.
