The fashion industry is the second largest contributor to pollution. Hence, the need for a more sustainable approach. But, the industry can not do it alone; it needs to be driven by the consumers. And as we are ALL consumers of fashion, we all have a responsibility. Here’s 8 easy ways to contribute positively to a more sustainable future, that doesn’t require wearing a hessian bag! 👇🏼 1. Know your personal style. When you define what your style is, you will less likely purchase items that you don’t wear. 2. Identify what suits you. This can be confronting, but it saves a lot of heartache (and money) down the track. Another trick is to find a good tailor, so that your wardrobe fits you well. 3. Perform the ‘30 wears test.’ What’s this? Before buying an item, ask yourself “will I wear this a minimum of 30 times?” If yes, get it! You’ll be surprised how many times you say no. 4. Invest in transeasonal items; pieces that can be worn over a number of seasons. E.g. good quality jackets, shoes, jeans, etc. 5. Buy vintage. And no, that doesn’t mean old, ragged pieces. There are many sites such as @therealreal @vestiaireco @1stdibs etc, that have gorgeous designer pieces for a fraction of the price. 6. Be informed. 🤓 Do some investigating as to which brands source ethical materials, manufacture ethically, AND dispose of waste correctly. 7. Look after your clothes. This seems like a no brainer, but you’d be surprised! Learn to care for your wardrobe so that your beloved pieces last longer. 8. Buy less. My motto, ‘buy quality over quantity.’ And then go back to #7! What’s better than a chic leather jacket? 💁🏻‍♀️🖤 Happy Friday, lovelies! @zaliahinsta #leatherandsoie The ‘pretending to look for something in the horizon’ insta shot! 🤔😂 But loving my @_aje_ patent leather skirt! 🖤 #leatherlove The classic stiletto is timeless and versatile. It would have to be one of the best purchases I’ve made. 🧡 Do you prefer heels or flats? @louboutinworld #orangeisthenewblack “As far as I’m concerned, leopard is a neutral.” @jennalyonsstyle 🐆 #leopardlove #gannigirls You can never go wrong with a classic white shirt; it can be worn tucked in, belted, or layered loosely. Opt for classic silhouettes that suit your style and body shape. #spendwisely #leatherandsoie ☺️
