The Close-up Look You Need Towards A Sustainable Wardrobe!

Is it possible to have an overflowing closet? If each time you open your closet and start to wonder if you are a clothing hoarder, you’re not alone! In fact, recent surveys revealed that the average person’s closet holds tons of clothing items they’ve never even worn!

Whether you feel guilty about wasting money on it, or some things look and feel good, but you’re bored of wearing them, we get it! But this is holding you back from the closet that sparks your inspiration and ethic, the one that speaks sustainable wardrobe essentials! Once you get a real understanding of what’s inside, decluttering becomes easier, and both your wardrobe and the environment will thank you!

How To Nail Your Sustainable Wardrobe A-game?

When it comes to being more sustainable with your wardrobe, you can practice small, easy acts that are incredibly effective, whether by selling no-longer-wanted pieces or buying pre-loved clothes online. So, get set to walk into your closet, take a deep breath, and let’s jump into the practical points you need to master the lifespan extension of your wardrobe!

Shower Your Clothes With TLC

Always wear what reflects your personal style, makes you feel like you can take on the world and kits you with a slay-the-day feel! And taking good care of the clothes you own is a smart investment to extend their lifespan, increase their resale value, and sporting them again and again with confidence. Store it properly, always pay attention to the washing instructions on the tags, avoid using the dryer, etc. All of this guarantees that your garments maintain their worth and look their best while you wear them. Just like that, you’re halfway to your sustainable wardrobe journey! Shoppers know that evergreen pieces will never go out of style, so they are willing to spend a little more money on great-quality evergreen pieces.

Know When to Let Go

You’re just no longer feeling it! And we get it. Whatever the reason may be, once you find yourself no longer rooting for that dress or pants, it’s time to kiss it goodbye and welcome the fashion sustainability cape! Performing a wardrobe analysis would be a get-go. Based on a test-and-learn experiential rule, going for keep-and-sell piles will fill the bill. The items in the ‘keep’ pile still make you happy, like that denim jeans of yours that never goes out of style. If you have been holding onto a piece because you think you might wear it in the future but you haven’t in the past year, it’s probably time to part with it. 12 months is a good rule for judging if you should keep something. For the rest of the clothes, consider reselling them on Libas Collective, because if you truly loved them, they would have already been worn by now. What you are over, many fellow fashion-conscious individuals are excited to get their hands on! They would love the hidden gems lying deep within your closet! Besides, will making a quick buck along the way of your sustainable business do you any harm? Such a win-win situation!

Give A Refreshing Look To Your Closet With Pre-loved Items

Now you can bridge the gaps in your wardrobe and close the loop with pre-loved designer gems instead of buying new. Think of every dime you’re spending wisely, it’s managing your eco-footprint! Not only will you be supporting the ethical fashion economy, but you’re also saving space for your next treasure hunt!

In this day and age, now’s the perfect time to bring your wardrobe under the sustainable wing and be fully aware of how your very little actions, including in fashion, have an impact on the future. Head to Libas Collective to take your pick out of some of their pre-loved luxuries and give your closet a new lease on life.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a sustainable wardrobe?

A sustainable wardrobe is built around fewer, better, longer-lasting pieces — buying quality, reusing, repairing and reselling rather than consuming fast fashion.

How do I build a sustainable wardrobe?

Invest in timeless, well-made pieces, buy pre-owned where you can, care for what you own and resell items you no longer wear.

Which materials are more eco-friendly for clothes?

Durable, high-quality natural fibres and well-made leather that lasts for years are far more sustainable than disposable fast-fashion fabrics, because longevity is the key factor.
