Many of us, even with a full closet, regularly make purchases. And what’s most interesting is that we often choose things that are surprisingly similar to those that we already have. Why is this happening? This phenomenon affects not only the psychology of the consumer, but also affects our attitude towards fashion, budget and even the environment. Understanding the reasons for this behavior can help us become more conscious shoppers and discover new opportunities for updating our wardrobe.
Trapped by comfort and habit
One of the main reasons we buy similar items again and again is the comfort zone. Once we find a certain style or cut that suits us and in which we feel confident, we tend to repeat it. Familiar styles, colors and fabrics seem like a safe bet. This eliminates the need to waste time experimenting and risk purchasing something that you end up not liking or not suitable for.
Another factor is habit. We become accustomed to certain stores, brands, or even the location of departments in a store. Routine shopping requires less mental effort. In addition, marketing actively encourages repeat purchases by offering "updated" versions of already popular styles or creating the feeling of having "the same thing, but in a different color."
Fast fashion and its influence
The era of fast fashion also contributes. Constant updating of collections creates the illusion of newness, although in fact many models differ only slightly from the previous ones. We are convinced that we need to keep up with the times, and the easiest way to do this is to buy the current version of something we already love. This shopping cycle is beneficial to manufacturers, but leads to overcrowding of our closets and, more importantly, has a negative impact on the environment due to the huge amount of textile waste.
How to break the vicious cycle and find your uniqueness?
Understanding the reasons for repeated purchases is the first step to changing habits. Instead of automatically reaching for the familiar, try asking yourself questions:
- Do I really need this item?
- Do I already have something similar?
- Can I find an alternative that is more unique or eco-friendly?
Exploring new shopping destinations, such as thrift stores, can be a great way to step outside the box and find truly special things. Unlike the mass market, where standard products are presented, in a second-hand store each trip is a small adventure and an opportunity to discover real treasures with history.
