*When you cast an eye on another garment ask yourself: do I really need it, will I wear it more than 15 times?
*Do a short research on your favourite brands - do they meet the sustainability criteria.
*Watch the composition of your clothes: avoid toxic and man-made fabrics. Focus on natural and biodegradable materials.
*Buy clothes made in the country where you live.
*Buy quality. Choose well-made clothes that will withstand trends and time and look good for years.
*Save your bags and extra packaging when you shop. Bring a cloth bag and store your purchases inside.
*Try to do laundry less often and use dry cleaning services only when necessary.
* Treat your clothes well and keep them safe. That way you won't have to go shopping as often.
And remember - it's fashionable to be thoughtful!
This applies to every aspect of your life - food, cosmetics and of course - fashion.
So, next time you buy a piece of clothing, be sure to ask yourself where it comes from, how it's made and what materials it's made from.
And if you're faced with a product that's also beautiful because it's sturdy, clean, produced honestly and is durable, go for it!
That way, together we can build a more environmentally friendly and responsible future of fashion. /BGNES
