Here’s a list of 5 ‘easy to follow’ fashion resolutions for the New Year that will help you to lead a greener and a more fashionable life.
Shop online and abandon that shopping bag
Save energy, fuel, time, and paper by shopping online for your favorite outfits. Thanks to the power of Internet, it is the most eco-friendly medium to satisfy your shopping urges.
Invest only in Quality Fashion and Fabric
Try not to fall prey to the world of ‘fast fashion’ which sucks you into the vicious cycle of buying, wearing and discarding. Invest in sustainable vintage fashion instead, which is stylish, longer-lasting and timeless.
Reuse, Recycle, & Reinvent
The green model of 3 R’s is our planet’s best friend. Scan your closet each time you feel a strong desire to buy something new. There is a possibility of you discovering many smart outfits hibernating in your closet, which have gone unnoticed due to their age or style. You don’t need to be a fashion designer to reinvent your good ole’ outfits. In fact, this is your chance to be creative with what you’ve got and stand out from the crowd!
Donate To Goodwill
Do your bit for the ones who are less fortunate by donating your old clothes, which otherwise are potential candidates for the landfills. Find a goodwill center in your area and donate your clothes to people who can’t afford good clothing. By donating to a goodwill center you are also helping people get jobs.
Resort to Eco-friendly Dry Cleaning and Organic Fabrics
Find an eco-friendly dry cleaner in your area to increase the durability of your precious vintage dresses. Preserve their quality by not subjecting them to wear and tear caused by the harsh chemicals that have been a part of the traditional dry cleaning process. Be diligent regarding choosing the fabric of your outfit. Choose eco-friendly fabrics like organic cotton and soy fabric over nylon or polyester.
