Sustainable Fashion

Unfollow fashion influencers and mute brand newsletters for a month — clear digital noise to rediscover your style.

Use tools like Good On You or Earth Ratings to check a brand’s sustainability score before purchasing.

Bookmark a fabric decoder chart or screenshot it for easy access while shopping.

Install a wardrobe tracker app or just note down purchases in your Notes app to visualize your fashion footprint.

Set a theme or limit (e.g., 5–10 pieces per person) to keep the swap organized.

Bookmark a sustainable fabric guide to check labels on the go.

Search 'fashion footprint calculator' and try one from WWF or Fashion Revolution.

Use a closet app or a simple Google Sheet to track how often you wear each item.

Look for rental services that offer eco-conscious brands and include cleaning in sustainable ways.

Avoid polyester blends — they still shed microplastics in the wash.

Avoid distressed jeans — the process consumes water and chemicals.

Avoid synthetic ‘vegan’ leather unless it’s clearly plant-based.

Use a fabric shaver to refresh natural fiber sweaters and reduce pilling.

Use a laundry bag to catch microfibers if washing synthetics.

Sew buttons securely with strong thread to extend garment life.

Hand wash tights in cold water to prevent tearing.

Dry shoes in the sun instead of using electric dryers to prolong lifespan.

Lubricate metal zippers occasionally with candle wax or graphite to prevent sticking.

Avoid washing glittered fabrics frequently to minimize shedding.

Avoid logos with heavy threadwork — they add energy use and water waste.

Avoid faux leather labeled 'PU' or 'PVC' — these are plastic-based.

Check care labels when shopping to avoid dry-clean-only maintenance.

Avoid overly trendy styles that may look outdated in a year.

Store natural bead jewelry in dry places to avoid mold or fading.
