How much longer will the Earth's natural resources last?
How can we meet our needs of today, without compromising on our needs for tomorrow?
Have these questions ever crossed your mind?
If not, then it's time to think again!
We're always hearing all these things, but you're always stuck in a frenzy.
The question is, where can I begin?
and what is it that I can do to get into a more sustainable routine?
For all of those that have never heard of this term before, sustainable fashion is partly
about producing garments, shoes and accessories that are environmentally and socio-economically
friendly, and also about more sustainable consumption and usage.
This requires a shift in the mindset and buying behaviour of customers
on an individual level.
Here's a few things everyone should be doing to contribute at least their minimum bit to
making a change.
Extend the life of your clothes by donating them to NGO's or causes like The Clothes Bank,
Clothes Box Foundation or For You.
Even if your clothes have small defects, they will get it fixed and make sure it
reaches someone in need.
If you have clothes that have surpassed the donation stage, then recycle them.
Organisations like Recycle Guru & Goonj even offer home collection services, you don't
even have to step out of your house.
Begin with investing in wardrobe staples like solid shirts, t-shirts, scarves
and even basic sarees or kurtas from sustainable brands.
Clothes made sustainably are not only extremely high quality but will also last much longer
in your wardrobe.
Natural fabrics are great to keep you feeling cool, during the warm months
Consciously buy natural fabrics like cotton, linen, jute & tencel over the artificial ones.
They don't just look extremely luxurious but also are great for the environment.
If you're only following fast fashion brand handles, for example Zara, Topshop, Forever 21
on social media, you'll never know the style potential of ethical fashion brands.
Try to follow sustainable fashion bloggers like Karuna Parikh or brands like Doodlage,
Asvaga, Grassroot & Raw Mango.
You'll be pleasantly surprised with the styling and
the variety of outfits they have to offer.
If a garment is made and sold domestically, it's probably more sustainable than something
that's made across the borders.
Also, always look at the label for the fabric used in the garment, you'll know instantly.
Shopping from a brand that you know serves the purpose of ethical fashion
is always the best idea.
One major myth I'd like to address is that, clothes made sustainably are not fashionable!
It's a common misconception that sustainable clothes are not stylish.
False, they can be super trendy if styled well.
Young brands like Zara and H&M
have also come up with their own ethical lines which are
high on trend without being too high on price.
Sustainable or slow fashion isn't just a passing trend,
it's turning into a movement
that's slowly but surely taking over the world!
As cliche as it sounds, 'Be the change you want to see', because 'Little drops of
water make the mighty ocean.'
So, are you ready for a more sustainable tomorrow?
