When it comes to shopping for clothes, we’re all guilty of making an occasional bad choice. How many times have you refused to pass up a good deal despite knowing the item is in the wrong size so it ends up in your closet and you never wear it? Yes, we’ve all been there, but the important thing is to learn from your mistakes and be a better shopper in the future. Here are three rules to follow if you want to shop more ethically.
Buy Natural Fabrics
Avoid clothes made of polyester as they will at one point end up endangering the nature or some form of life. Choose natural fabrics that can fully biodegrade once you’re done with them.
Number of Wears
Avoid buying things you’ll only wear once. Fast fashion promotes items that are low in quality and designed to follow a particular trend that will be out of style quickly, so your new purchase will soon turn into trash.
Shop Locally
Buying from a local designer or manufacturer is much more sustainable than buying from a fashion chain. Make that choice whenever you can and cherish your unique clothes for longer.
