Less clothes, more style and sustainable choices – this is the future of fashion
I am very fond of fashion. Whenever I went to the mall in college, I used to buy a lot of clothes after seeing the sale. But what happened? The wardrobe would get full, but I would keep wearing the same 4-5 favorite clothes.
The rest of the clothes were never used or would get spoiled quickly. Then I realized – fashion does not mean just collecting more clothes. Then I came to know about sustainable fashion and I started adopting it.
What is sustainable fashion?
In simple terms – clothes that last a long time, don’t harm the environment and the makers get a fair wage.
Meaning:
Clothes should be made from natural fabrics (khadi, linen, organic cotton).
The artisans who make it should get the right price.
The clothes should be durable and can be worn repeatedly.
Why is this the future?
Protection of the Earth
The fashion industry wastes the most water and resources. It takes 2700 liters of water to make just one T-shirt! Imagine what a huge loss. If we wear sustainable clothes, it will help save the earth.
Support of humanity
When I bought clothes made by the women of the village, I felt very happy. I came to know that my purchases help them run their household. This feeling is unique.
Sustainable and profitable
Cheap clothes get spoilt quickly. But Khadi or organic cotton stays good for years. That means a little expensive but long term benefits .
How did I adopt?
- Shopping Mindfully – I now only buy clothes that I really need.
- Focus on quality – I buy less but good clothes.
- It’s fun to give a new look to old clothes – converting jeans into shorts, saree into a dress.
- Shopping from local brands – This supports the artisans and also provides unique clothes.
Easy Tips
