How to look fashionable without creating waste
Going green is all the rage, but many find it difficult to be fashionable while minimizing waste.
Here are some tips on looking good while being green.
5
6.1
A big part of being green is re-wearing clothes, but to keep things interesting, you should
6.2
mix and match your clothes every time you go out. [DF 4] It’s also easy to repair and
redesign clothes in order to avoid buying new clothes. [DF 1] Another way to avoid creating
6.3
waste is to swap clothes with friends or borrow clothes from them. [DF 4] You will have

10 more clothes but not more waste this way!
It’s impossible to stop buying clothes entirely, but when you do buy clothes you should look
6.4
for durable classics that can be worn over a long time. [DF 4] Where possible, you should
6.5
shop second-hand too. [DF 1]
15
Sometimes, a piece of clothing is too worn and you must discard it. When this happens, you
6.6
should recycle or sell it. [DF 4] To avoid buying clothes you will only wear a couple of times,
6.7
try renting clothes for special occasions. [DF 8]
20 If you ever need extra inspiration for staying fashionable yet being eco-conscious, 6.8
visit our
brand new showroom, Earth Couture! [DF 8]
