    This document is about anti-fashion and adopting a minimalist approach to clothing. It summarizes how the author grew frustrated with constantly changing fashion trends and lack of money to keep up. They decided to go through their closet, donate anything not worn or fitting, and refrain from buying new clothes until something wore out. This freed them from always having to follow fashion. Over a year later, they still stick to this anti-fashion approach and feel liberated not constantly worrying about trends. The summary asks if this type of anti-fashion lifestyle could become more popular.
