Sustainable fashion is clothing and accessories that are made using environmentally friendly and socially responsible methods. This means using materials that are not harmful to the environment, reducing waste during production, and ensuring fair labor practices for workers.

The fashion industry is one of the largest polluters in the world, contributing to carbon emissions, water waste, and textile waste. By choosing sustainable fashion, you can reduce your carbon footprint and support ethical production practices.

There are several ways to build an eco-friendly wardrobe:

• Choose natural and sustainable materials such as organic cotton, linen, and hemp
• Shop secondhand and vintage clothing
• Support ethical and sustainable fashion brands
• Invest in high-quality, timeless pieces that will last for years
• Take care of your clothes by washing them in cold water and air-drying them

There are many sustainable fashion brands to choose from, including:

• Patagonia
• Reformation
• Everlane
• People Tree
• Amour Vert

Instead of throwing away clothes you no longer wear, consider donating them to a thrift store or clothing swap. You can also sell them online or repurpose them into something new, such as a tote bag or patchwork quilt.
