Having a wardrobe that still fits my lifestyle and keeps me from buying new stuff is a great way to reduce my costs but also my impact in the environment. The fashion industry is one of the highest polluters in the world (a close second, according to the UN) and making better choices on what we wear is a great way to reduce our carbon footprint. Here are my top tips to be sustainable (but make it fashion): - Use what you already have. Some of my most loved pieces are years and years old (like something around 10 years old 😮). - Shop second hand. Pre-loved pieces are great! They usually cost a fraction of the price and if you choose well, they'll be high quality and last a long time too. - Accept hand-me-downs or do a clothes swap with friends. I have SO many clothes that friends gave me because they couldn't use it or didn't like and I always took them happily. Offer to do a clothes swap with friends if you need new looks. - Buy from sustainable and ethical companies. If you really have to buy new (and can do so) buy from small, local and sustainable biz that make their clothes ethically and using the least harmful production means possible. - Repair or make do. Have a hole in one of your favourite garments? Fix it! Pay someone or DIY, but don't throw it out or donate bad quality pieces. - Recycle! If you have pieces that are long past their due date (I had SO many) find a recycling program, like the one from @manrags which takes used clothes or either donates or recycle clothes. Phew! That should keep us covered for a while, right?! What are some of your questions about the fashion industry or about getting into a more sustainable wardrobe that are still bugging you?
