5 Steps to a More Ethical Closet

Making the change to an ethical closet and feeling overwhelmed? Our guide provides simple tips that will change your perspective and save you money in your journey to slow fashion and conscious clothing.

1. take care

Learn to care for you clothes properly so that they will last for years. Enjoy the process of caring for you items, remembering all of the special moments and places they have taken you.

2. keep it fresh

Finding different ways to style a piece refreshes it and makes it feel like you've never worn it before. Look for inspiration online, in magazines, and in the world around you. Mix vintage finds with your favorite staples to create new and fashionable combinations.

3. shop vintage

When possible, buy vintage. Not only is it (usually) less expensive and will save you money, but you’ll also help prevent clothes from ending up in landfills and reduce the number of new pieces being manufactured.

4. Invest

Invest in high quality, versatile pieces that you love and will stand the test of time. Avoid fast fashion or on-trend fads and choose garments that transition from day to night and from season to season. Tune into your personal style and find the perfect pieces.

5. support ethical brands

Do research to find ethical brands that truly care about people and the planet and value humanity over profits. Your dollar has the power to change an industry. Read our guide for more info on the difference between ethical fashion, slow fashion, and sustainable fashion.
