The fashion industry is the second-largest polluter in the world, which is why more and more people are trying to move away from fast fashion these days. Here are some great tips on how to be more sustainable and build a more conscious wardrobe.

Buy Less

The first and most obvious way you can reduce your environmental impact is to buy less clothes. Generally speaking, we all buy more stuff than we actually need so think well before you spend more money on clothes.

High Quality Pieces

One of the ways to become a sustainable consumer is to buy only high-quality clothes because they generally last longer and you’ll get to wear them more.

Vintage

Thrift shopping has risen in popularity for good reason. Buying second-hand clothes is a great way to save money, find unique vintage pieces, and reduce environmental impact all at once. In case you still haven’t tried thrift shopping now is the perfect time to give it a chance.

Research

There are plenty of slow fashion brands nowadays that are both sustainable and affordable so make sure to do some research and buy smart in the future.
