Paying attention to sustainability within the fashion industry is not only good for the environment. It is also good for the workers in the factories and in the raw material production, as well as for your own health.
Sustainable fashion
Many companies have placed importance on sustainability and this includes companies like Adidas, Nike, Hanes, and clothing merchandisers like Naruto Shop. The makers of Naruto Merch have high regard for the quality and sustainability of their products. The company is known for creating clothing replicas of the characters from the show, which are not only visually appealing but also carry a message that is relevant to today’s society.
When buying fashion, just pay more attention to the way it was made and what materials it is made of. There are many labels that produce clothing from environmentally friendly materials, using environmentally friendly processes and under fair working conditions. These are often found under the terms “sustainable fashion”, “eco-fashion” or “sustainable fashion”.
Go for a capsule wardrobe (minimalist wardrobe)
The basic idea of the Capsule Wardrobe is that you don’t need much to have a closet full of different outfits. This sounds strange at first, but it is very simple. The minimalist wardrobe is a trend that has been on everyone’s lips for some time.
Capsule Wardrobe uses the principle of minimalism. What’s really cool and interesting about the principle is that it makes you think more about your clothes and engage with them more. You learn to appreciate your own closet much more. You always find new combinations without having to buy new clothes. This not only protects your wallet and promotes your creativity, but also helps our environment enormously. Because the more clothing is bought and produced, especially clothing manufactured using conventional processes, the more the environment is polluted be it through waste, chemicals, or CO2.
Clean clothes, clean environment – sustainable washing
Of course, everyone wants clean clothes. Scientists estimate that washing 100,000 items of clothing made from synthetic fibers releases between 0.65 and 3.9 kilograms of microplastics into the water cycle.
It is now easy to do without clothing made of synthetic fibers, but not everyone wants that. Especially when it comes to sportswear, artificial fibers have clear advantages. So if you don’t want to completely ban synthetic fibers from your closet, you can use a special laundry bag when washing. This intercepts the synthetic fibers. In this way, they do not get into the water cycle and consequently do not pollute the environment.
