What we wear says a lot about who we are. Individual style helps us express ourselves and feel comfortable and happy with how we look. And there’s nothing wrong with wanting to look your best. The growth of the fast fashion industry means, if we wanted to, we’re able to buy a whole new outfit every week, for around the same cost as a takeaway meal or a round of drinks at the pub.

Shopping for something new can give you a rush of happy endorphins. It’s a way to spend a Saturday afternoon with friends; it passes time when sat on the bus or is even the first thing you do in the morning because your phone notifications flash up with a limited time 20% off sale (and it’d be rude to leave your saved items in the basket at that price!). And so what if you go off it after a few wears – it was cheap, right? The thing is for all the benefits of cheap clothing, there are also cons that come with it and we need to be more aware of those too.

It calls for a change in mindset. The less we buy into fast fashion clothing, the less demand there is for the production of new garments, which in turn means a lot less natural resources being unsustainably used up.
Every change, big or small, helps improve the environmental impacts that we as individuals and as a community have on our environment. Here are a few more changes that you can make that will help make a huge difference.

Buy with warranty or repair services – Some leading brands now offer long-term warranties that include free repairs of products such as jeans or shoes. This is a fantastic way to make a long term, sustainable choice that will save you money in the long run and reduce your personal environmental impact. Also look out for companies that offer instructions for home repair, or details on upcycling or recycling on the labels.

There’s plenty of other ways you can make simple steps to help reduce your carbon footprint and fight climate change.
