How to Build a Sustainable and Chic Capsule Wardrobe

Are you interested in building a sustainable and chic wardrobe but just don't know where to start? Here are some suggestions of what you can do to create a stylish and sustainable wardrobe.


First, buy items from sustainable brands and reduce your fast-fashion purchases. Fast-fashion production compromises ten percent of carbon emissions, pollutes rivers and streams, and dries up our water sources. Not to mention, eighty-five percent of all textiles end up in the dump each year. By shopping sustainably, you reduce water consumption, limit carbon emissions, and minimize waste products. 


Some examples of sustainable fashion brands to shop from include People TreeAll BirdsMateTentree, and many others. Each of these brands offers distinct and eco-friendly products.

Secondhand shopping is another perfect way to stay sustainable. You can do this by going to your local thrift shops and choosing items that fit your personal style. By doing this, you are not only creating a unique and chic wardrobe but also contributing to a healthier planet.

Another way to stay sustainable is by upcycling, which transforms old items into something new and improved. By using items already in your wardrobe, you limit the need for new products and ultimately save the planet one step at a time.

Educating yourself on the importance of sustainability could help make a difference in the world. Always be sure to check out the labels on the clothing you buy and know your materials; this is crucial if you are looking to buy sustainable garments.
