在東亞,Thrifting(二手購物)已不再是一味的節省之舉,而成為揉合環保意識、身份認同與文化態度的社會現象。近年來,伴隨全球永續風潮的興起,年輕世代紛紛將二手時尚視作反抗過度消費與快速時尚的方式,藉此建構其獨特的消費立場與自我風格。本文將深入探討這股文化背後的心理動機,分析為何 Thrifting 已成為 Gen Z 不可或缺的生活態度。
對 Gen Z 來說,Thrifting 不僅是選購衣物的方式,更承載深厚的文化與心理意義。首先,它是身份認同的重要標誌。每一件二手服飾背後皆有故事,當年輕人穿戴它們,他們不只是在消費,而是在透過服飾傳達自我故事和價值線索。他們用這種獨特的風格與搭配,強烈表達「我就是這樣」的自信與認同(Crockett et al., 2017)。
