Sustainable fashion is a movement towards creating clothing that is made with environmentally friendly materials and processes, and that has a minimal impact on the planet.

Fast fashion is one of the largest contributors to pollution and waste in the world. By building a wardrobe with eco-friendly pieces, we can reduce the amount of waste we produce and support sustainable fashion practices.

Eco-friendly materials used in sustainable fashion include organic cotton, hemp, linen, bamboo, and recycled materials such as polyester made from recycled plastic bottles.

Look for certifications such as GOTS (Global Organic Textile Standard) or OEKO-TEX, which ensure that the materials used in the clothing are environmentally friendly and safe for human use. You can also research the company’s sustainability practices and materials used on their website or by contacting customer service.

Shop secondhand or vintage stores, participate in clothing swaps with friends, or look for eco-friendly pieces on sale or clearance. You can also invest in pieces that are versatile and can be worn in multiple ways, and take good care of your clothing to make it last longer.

Donate or sell clothing that is still in good condition, and recycle or upcycle clothing that is damaged or worn out. Many cities also have textile recycling programs that will accept clothing and other textiles that can’t be donated or sold.
