Sustainable Style St Andrews

By Jennifer Greene  I was always envious of the clothes of university students when I was a high school student living in the outskirts of Glasgow. From the age of ten, I was fascinated by the walking current of style in Burberry, Urban Outfitters and Moncler down Byres Road. Brands, everywhere, formed their palimpsest through the Glasgow pavements and cafes. Now, I live in St Andrews where the brands embark on their slow exeunt. Here, every street is dictated by the students that flock to them in their charity shop sourced outfits. The kind of outfits that catch your eye, that you’re jealous of and want for yourself - but when you ask the fashionable person where they bought their clothes, they’ll tell you that their clothes were thrifted from the British Heart Foundation or Cancer Research.  Charity shopping! It’s easy to despair when you so badly want that top or that skirt but you may never find it. Your only solution; to scavenge through the charity shops of Bell Street. St
