Sustainable fashion is something that you may not think about when it comes to clothing. But, now it is becoming more relevant. When you think of sustainability; how was the clothing you’re wearing produced? Was it produced in a workable environment?
Sustainable Fashion Styles
Indeed, the idea of having a wardrobe of eco and sustainable styles may cause you to pause. However, it shouldn’t. With environmental topics under a microscope; it has never been more relevant to dress green.
Whenever you buy something, you should first decide if you’re really going to wear it. How many times do you end up buying something that stays in your closet with the tags on? Personally, I have done this many times.
First and foremost, if it is something that you’re going to wear all the time, than buy it. But if it is an item that you’re only going to wear once or twice; try to buy something that is inexpensive. Of course, the key is to spend more money on pieces you will wear many times and items that aren’t a fad. To read more about fashion trends, be sure to visit my Life Cycle of Fashion Trends post.
In the first place, one of the most important things to know about shopping for sustainable goods is knowing where to start. Many designers are now getting on-board.
Stella McCartney has been a proponent for sustainable fashion her entire career. McCartney doesn’t use leather or fur in her designs and her focus is to provide modern, yet fashionable styles that are not impacting the environment. Below is one of her signature styles – the platform slip-on sneaker. So, every season McCartney does a variation of a platform sneaker, slip-ons and sandals.
