خلفية ثقافية
Finns value 'arkityyli' (everyday style) which is functional yet trendy. Going 'uusiin vaatteisiin' is a common weekend social activity in cities. There is a preference for sustainable and long-lasting brands like Marimekko or Makia. Shopping is often seen as an investment. The 'seasonal swap' is huge. In spring, everyone is 'menossa uusiin vaatteisiin' to find lighter jackets. While Finns are becoming more eco-conscious (kirpputorit/flea markets), the phrase is still used for second-hand shopping too.
