Consumerism isn’t mutually exclusive with minimalism. You can be a minimalist consumerist. If you throw all of your stuff away and buy fewer better things you are both minimalist and consumerist.
I think consumerism is described by the belief that buying something new will solve your problem. That is what you’re doing here. You can’t consume your way out of consumerism.
You’ve already purchased these pants. they were already made. Using them for as long as possible is anti-consumption. Buying more when you don’t need to is consumerism.
The anti-consumerist approach would be to avoid purchasing new pants until you need to, then buy something used.
There's nothing here!
