Sustainable Summer Wardrobe

Be stylish and sustainable this summer with a few top tips!

Fast fashion has a huge environmental impact, with 336,000 tonnes of used clothing sent to UK landfills every year according to wrap.org.uk

But you can easily build a more sustainable summer wardrobe with my ideas:

I always choose second-hand first. I explore charity shops, car boot sales, or platforms like Depop and Vinted for pre-loved summer clothing.

Always think “Quality Over Quantity:” Invest in timeless, high-quality pieces that last beyond a single season. Brands like Thought Clothing (https://www.wearethought.com/) and People Tree (https://www.peopletree.co.uk/) offer great ethical options.

Have you thought about renting instead of buying, especially for special occasions, rent outfits from sites like HURR (https://www.hurrcollective.com/) or By Rotation (https://www.byrotation.com/).

Mend and revamp by learning simple sewing skills to repair clothes or upcycle old garments into fresh new looks.

By rethinking how we shop and care for clothes, we can reduce waste and make fashion work for the planet.
