“…For example, wear practices are “not only about body, dress, symbol, and appearance; it also involves a complex process of domestic management” (Cwerner, 2001, p. 88), as the wardrobe serves as the fulcrum of “practices of tidying, storage, divestment and displacement” (Gregson & Beale, 2004, p. 690). To be sure, the inherent goal of sustainable clothing use (e.g., wear, care, repair) is to increase its longevity (WRAP, 2017), which Vesterinen and Syrjälä (2022) argue is most effectively delivered via an intense and lengthy utilization. In the following, the major constructs of each of these three dimensions are formally defined alongside a description of findings from the literature.…”

“…More specifically, Vesterinen and Syrjälä (2022) The current study has extended Vesterinen and Syrjälä's (2022) work by fully illuminating the experiences, habits, and practices that promote intense and prolonged use. Though previous studies have substantiated the value of emotional attachment to clothing longevity (Fleetwood-Smith et al, 2019;Niinimäki & Armstrong, 2013;Whitson-Smith, 2018), the influence of other mindsets, such an orientation to wearing visibly degraded clothing (Neto & Ferreira, 2021) or personal style confidence (Joyner et al, 2018) on the other wear practices (e.g., organization, alterations, reassignment) as well as care and repair habits is largely uncharted.…”

“…The taxonomy produced in the current study places alterations squarely in the wear dimension as a function of creating a better fit to extend the use of the garment (wear practice) because clothing comfort and fit are characteristics that promote frequent and long use (Gwilt, 2021;Whitson-Smith, 2018) Most importantly, the domains of clothing consumption have been treated by researchers in an atomistic way. Just as clothing use practice is assumed to influence one's rate of acquisition and disposal (Vesterinen & Syrjälä, 2022), use practices (wear, care, repair) are interrelated. From ways of wearing garments to routines for preserving them, the various levers of use practice must be viewed and investigated by researchers as a system of behavior rather than isolated habits that lack connection and interrelationship.…”

The experiences, habits, and practices that occur post‐purchase within the clothing use phase have an impact on clothing's longevity, a linchpin in sustainable clothing consumption. Though it represents one of the most carbon‐intensive and polluting phases of consumption, a clear definition of sustainable clothing use practice and how it functionally contributes to sustainable consumption is currently underdeveloped. Consumer behavior researchers have most significantly illuminated sustainable clothing purchase and disposal behaviors, leaving an understanding of post‐purchase habits that emerge in everyday clothing use incomplete and fragmented. Through a systematic literature review of 77 articles published from 1991 to January 2022, this study provides a holistic view of this domain of sustainable clothing use that highlights three dimensions (wear, care, repair) alongside the associated habits of mind and domestic management that constitute a system of use practice. The themes that emerged within the review are utilized to develop a framework and an agenda for future research in this important domain of consumer behavior.

“…In addition, the demand is accelerated due to the annual market entry of cheap textile products (artificial fibres and materials already account for two-thirds) and the fashion industry's influence, when fashion trends change faster and faster. As a result, over-consumption becomes increasingly apparent, with some textile items ending up in landfills before at least one use [27]. Excessive consumption contrasts with the goals of sustainable development.…”

The attitude to upcycling technologies of undergraduate students of five specialities (design, clothing industry technology, vocational education and training, industrial pharmacy and psychology) and their teachers was investigated using the questionnaire method. Students’ pReferences practically do not depend on specialities. For all students, subgroups of upcycling enthusiasts and sceptics are observed which regularly resort to upcycling or almost do not use it. An almost complete misunderstanding and imperception of the benefits and importance of upcycling is a key and common problem. Social factors have a minimal influence on the opinion of respondents, which may indicate a lack of understanding in society of the role and importance of waste management. All the shortcomings and problems in understanding upcycling are common to students and teachers. In general, the positive attitude towards upcycling and the intention to use upcycling in life in the answers most likely has an unconscious and artificial character (like a fashion trend) because the attitude towards other formative factors does not support it. The identified problems are related to the shortcomings of secondary school and undergraduate curricula, which hinder the formation of the necessary competencies for sustainable development. Methods of their solution are proposed and discussed.

The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of hedonism and the ease of use of the Shopee-PayLater feature on consumptive behaviour/excessive consumerist behaviour. Respondents in this study were residents of a housing complex in Bekasi. A sample of 97 people was taken, using the Bernoulli formula. This research used simple descriptive regression analysis and multiple linear regression analysis. The SmartPLS 3.0 application and measurements are used for this purpose. The results of the study indicate that hedonism has a positive and significant effect on excessive consumerist behaviour. The ease of use also has a positive and significant effect on the excessive consumerist behaviour of the community members. People are not really aware of what usury means, so most people do online shopping with a credit system with interest such as shopping now pay later/SPaylater. An understanding of the legal practice of buying and selling in Islam is required. It is the obligation of the scholars to provide more teaching so that the public clearly understands that anything added to the repayment of the loan is forbidden. Islam is a guide for life in this world and in the hereafter
