Wes Nelson and Lucy Mecklenburgh launch rentable ski collection to cut waste

Millions of adults buy clothes they’ll only ever wear once – due to weddings, Christmas parties, job interviews and niche holidays. 

A poll of 2,000 adults found 45% own items of clothing which have only seen the light of day once.

And among the most common items which have been left to gather dust in wardrobes are fancy dress costumes, hats for weddings and Hawaiian shirts.

Nearly a fifth (18%) admitted that when they come to wear these items again, they feel as if they are not fashionable anymore, while 24% just think their tastes have simply moved on.

As a result, 35%would consider renting clothes to help save money (37%) or for the good of the planet (31%), and 26% have borrowed items from family and friends to avoid one-off purchases.
