If you are still in the stages of refining your 2025 resolutions, we wanted to provide some inspiration for your sustainable fashion journey.
- Conduct a Closet Audit
Start by evaluating your current wardrobe. Identify pieces you love, items that need repair, and those that no longer serve you. This practice not only declutters your space but also helps you understand your style and needs better. Consider throwing a clothing swap with friends or upcycling items you no longer wear before donating.
- Embrace Second-Hand Shopping
Challenge yourself to purchase only second-hand or upcycled items this year. Thrifting reduces environmental impact and keeps pre-loved clothes in circulation longer. Explore local thrift stores or online platforms to find unique pieces.
- Support Ethical Brands
When purchasing new items, choose brands that prioritise sustainability and ethical production. Look for companies that use recycled or upcycled materials, ensure fair labor practices, and are transparent about their manufacturing processes.
- The three outfit rule
Opt for pieces you can visualise in at least 3 outfits. This means you won’t be buying something you wear once in a blue moon and justifies choosing a high-quality and higher price tag piece. This mindset shift from micro trends to life time loves reduces waste and promotes a more sustainable wardrobe.
- Learn to Mend and Upcycle
Extend the life of your clothing by learning basic mending skills. Repairing small tears or replacing buttons can make a significant difference. Additionally, consider upcycling old garments into new creations, adding a personal touch to your fashion. Here at Etta Studio we often facilitate workshops. Drop us a message if you are interested in hosting or participating in a workshop.
