Have you thrown away a garment after just ONE wear? A fifth of Brits have

One in three Britons has thrown away six or more items of clothing over the past 12 months, according to a survey of 2,200 U.K. consumers by Marks & Spencer . Despite role models who champion quality merchandise that bears repeat wearing—the Duchess of Cambridge and Livia Firth among them—a fifth of respondents admitted to tossing out a garment after a single wear. At an average cost of £22.73 ($35.60) per discarded item, this means that more than £81 million ($127 million) of serviceable clothing winds up in landfills each year after it’s worn just once.
