Circular Fashion: 10 Ways To Make Your Style Sustainable
Circular fashion is an approach that states that changing our "take-make-waste" continuous and fast consumption-based daily habits, even at the level of our wardrobe, will create many positive environmental effects. Since it is an alternative way to support sustainability, circular fashion draws attention to the harms of producing low-quality clothes that expire after short-term use, the importance of conscious production and responsible manufacturing to solve problems from water waste to air pollution. Thus, circular fashion concerns clothing manufacturers and evaluates the material quality, longevity and life cycle criteria for many products in our closets. However, that doesn't mean we fashion consumers can't get involved.
If fashion continues progressing on its linear path, we know that this industry's life may be shorter than we think due to its harmful effects on our planet. But on the other hand, in the circular transformation of the fashion industry, more conscious consumers have the potential to make a positive difference in the planet's future just as much as the manufacturers themselves. Inviting sustainability by making thoughtful investments in our wardrobes is a small step for developing and implementing circular fashion, a big step for the world's future and fashion! Here are ten ways to transform your closet into a circular one that will never go out of style:
You can use resources like Good On You to know more about the brands you shop for.

Have you checked the Another Matinee, Retold or One Scoop Store?
There are plenty of blogs that keep you on the agenda, like one of our favourites, Twyg.
Maybe you should revise your wardrobe before going shopping.
This is a brilliant idea to eliminate unworn clothes, clothes that we will only wear once for one night, or when we want to enjoy wearing something we cannot afford. We suggest you take a look at service sites such as Rotaro, Hurr and By Rotation.
Suppose you want your clothes long-lasting till they become genuinely worn out. In that case, there are many things you can pay attention to, from washing in cold water and not more often than necessary to use the appropriate detergent.
You can recycle your old clothes that have become worn out. Also, you can donate or give away clothes that you simply desire or no longer want to wear.
Here you can find some information about the fabrics and their position within the sustainable circle; Good On You.
