A Changing Waistline Is Sending the Whole Closet to the Resale Rack

The wardrobe that fit last season does not necessarily fit this one, and a wave of Americans on GLP-1 medications is discovering that the fastest way to dress a new silhouette is not a single shopping trip but a steady churn. Secondhand marketplaces and rental services are the beneficiaries, picking up customers who want a well-cut jacket now and another size of it a few months on. Fresh pieces are moving too, bought alongside the pre-owned ones at a clip that has caught the trade's attention. For anyone who treats a closet as an archive, it is a reminder that a size tag is the one credit that never stays fixed.
