Take Action
There are so many little things you can do before bringing new clothing into your closet!
Shop Secondhand — Give existing clothing another life before buying new. Thrifting, buying from a friend, or using platforms like Depop or eBay are all more sustainable shopping options!
Pause Before Purchasing — Ask yourself: Will I actually wear this more than a few times? Is this brand taking a stand against Fast Fashion?
Avoid Impulse Trends — A viral item might disappear from your feed quickly—but it’ll stay in your closet much longer.
Be Mindful of Your Media — Unfollow or rethink content that constantly encourages hauls, overconsumption, and buying the newest trend. Don’t let social media fool you; often, these content creators are being sponsored to promote products or clothing!
Things you can do after clothing enters your closet.
Rewear Your Outfits — Being an “outfit repeater” doesn’t make you any less stylish!
Repair Before Replacing — A loose button, small tear, or missing stitch doesn’t have to mean the end of a garment. There is always a YouTube video for something.
Wash With Care — Wash only when necessary and follow care instructions to help clothing last longer. Read those material labels!
A more sustainable relationship with fashion doesn’t mean a perfectly sustainable closet. It just starts by buying a little more thoughtfully and valuing what you already own.
