Fast Fashion's Solution: We Could Just...Not Wear Clothes

I just read an article on the tremendous impact of fast fashion on countries such as Ghana:

'Dead White Man's Clothes': The dirty secret behind the world’s fashion addiction

The title is an eyebrow raiser. My main hang-up here, however, is the fact that this issue exists despite the fact that the majority of clothing people wear is for vanity and societal expectations or out of habit — not for physical comfort or health. We don't even *need* to wear clothes much of the time, yet we buy and discard it at breakneck speed. 🙄
