1. Start With What You Already Own

Before adding new items, take stock of the clothes you already wear and love. You may be surprised how versatile they are.

2. Prioritize Quality Over Quantity

When you do shop, choose pieces made with thoughtful materials like organic cotton, linen, or TENCEL — fabrics with lower environmental impact. Ecodrive

3. Stick to a Color Palette You Wear Often

A cohesive palette makes it easier to mix and match outfits — reducing the need for impulse buys.

4. Invest in Wardrobe Staples

Classic items like a well‑fitting jacket, quality jeans, or a versatile dress will be worn more often and for years.

5. Learn How to Care for Clothes Properly

Gentle washing, line drying, and proper storage all extend garment life — which is good for your budget and the planet.

6. Thrift First and Secondhand When Possible

Second‑hand shopping is a huge sustainability win. Many timeless pieces are pre‑loved but still look brand‑new.

7. Consider Repair Over Replacement

Loose buttons, minor rips, and worn hems can often be fixed with simple sewing — which keeps items out of landfills.
