‘Sustainable fashion’ may sound like a contradiction as sustainable goods are both responsibly made – from ecologically and morally responsible sources – and meant to last a long time. Fashion, on the other hand, tends to be based on temporary trends and ‘statement’ outfits that are often worn only once or twice before ending up at the back of the wardrobe.

But there are ways to be both sustainable and fashionable. One of the simplest approaches is to ask yourself before any purchase how often you will wear an item of clothing. If you are sure you will wear it at least thirty times – and if it’s a brand that produces responsibly sourced, ethically made products – then you ought to feel good about buying it. However, if you’re considering a ‘statement’ item for a single occasion, it’s better to give it a miss.

And if you do need that ‘statement’ piece, why not rent it? It is a shocking fact that 300,000 tonnes of unwanted clothes go into landfills every year. But if you hire an outfit, you can have the satisfaction of showing it off in high style for that special occasion, and other people will have a chance to wear the same item after you. This generates far less waste, and more wardrobe space too!

One of the most sustainable practices, and one of the most generous, is donating clothes you no longer wear. The shame that was once associated with wearing second-hand clothes has pretty much disappeared, and knowing that something you rarely wear will become the highlight of another person’s wardrobe can make you feel you are doing your bit in more ways than one.
