Sustainable fashion
  • At this point, each one of us in our green
    heart-er community should put our foot forward
    and do the maximum we can to protect future
    generations and mother nature.
  • There are many simple and effective everyday
    measures that you can adopt for a more conscious
    lifestyle.
  • Shopping for beautiful, eco-friendly, and
    ethically-made clothing is an integral part of
    any sustainable wardrobe.

Here are 5 ways you can properly commit to
sustainable fashion
  • Less is more
  • Choose quality over quantity
  • Buy organic natural fibers
  • Choose fairtrade or ethically made
  • Promote natural dyes

4
Less is more
  • As a global population, we already consume much
    more than the earth can sustainably support, and
    while our wardrobes are only a small part of this
    picture, it plays a significant role.
  • It is estimated that clothing accounts for 3.4
    of global greenhouse gas emissions.
  • In order to live mindfully, we need to move
    beyond our desire for consumption, and see
    shopping as a functional activity rather than
    leisure.
  • Understanding "less is more" SUI offers a wide
    variety of sustainable clothing online.

5
Choose quality over quantity
  • Fast fashion tosses low quality and poorly made
    clothes that are designed to be discarded in
    short periods leading to the alarming consumer
    buying cycle.
  • The average party top is worn 1.7 times before
    being discarded.
  • If your wardrobe is going to be sustainable, you
    must choose to invest in quality pieces, choose
    comfort, sophistication, and eco-friendly outfits
    that are good for you, your skin and the
    environment.

6
Buy organic natural fibers
  • It is important to go for eco-friendly clothing
    for women as it is estimated that around 16 of
    all insecticides and 25 of pesticides globally
    are used in conventional cotton farming, and
    cotton produced contributes to 3.5kg of carbon
    dioxide emissions.
  • The alternative to using cotton and synthetic
    fibers are organic natural fibers, like organic
    cotton, recycled fabric, etc.

7
Choose fairtrade or ethically made
  • Demand quality, not just in the product you buy,
    but also in the life of the person who made it.
  • Conventional fashion has a high social cost,
    these include chemical exposure that badly
    affects health conditions, workplace injuries,
    and permanent disablement.
  • Fairtrade certified clothing is, instead,
    produced in conditions that ensure workers are
    operating in environments and work conditions
    that are safe work conditions, as well as being
    reasonably paid for all they do.

8
Promote natural dyes
  • Herbal dyes are almost solely plant-based, using
    components such as flowers, roots, leaves, seeds
    and so on. Parts of the plant are used in the
    dyeing process, which is considered 'waste' or
    are growing wild and organic in nature and have
    medicinal properties, such as the peels from a
    pomegranate, onions, and myrobalan.
  • Choosing fibers that are already pigmented is
    another option that eliminates the need for dying
    at all.
  • Natural dyes are also a good DIY project to try
    out at home, so give it a go for a revitalized
    wardrobe.
