Fashion Gentrification

An idea that the rising popularity in thrifting will increase the prices of second hand clothes in less wealthy areas, making it less affordable for the people that live there.

This may be true to an extent, however the increase in price would only be on high branded or popular items and doesn't take into account that not every item in store is branded, or that every person living on the breadline wants to be rocking a 90's Tommy grail.

This idea is shared amongst people that don't have any knowledge on the true scale of second hand clothing and think it will mean people will not be able to afford clothes anymore or that there is not enough to go around. This is completely false.

"Oh my god you got that Supreme piece second hand!? What about the poor people? That's Fashion Gentrification!" - Somebody who's jealous of seeing Tik Toks of people sharing their thrift hauls.
