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.

新冠疫情（COVID-19）大流行引发了服装及纺织行业的一场危机，全球顶级时尚品牌的服装供应出现放缓。尽管这一现象导致快时尚行业进行了一些深层次的反思，但在消费者层面，其影响似乎微乎其微。根据在英国近期进行的一项调查结果，当被问及新冠疫情封锁是否影响了他们对购买及处理服装方式的思考时，30%的受访者表示这并非他们所关注的议题。仅有8%的英国个人表示，封锁对他们的服装购买及处置方式产生了相当大的影响或一定程度的影响。
