Sustainable Ways To Update Your Wardrobe This Season
By Swingers
Discover eco-friendly ways to refresh your wardrobe this season with capsule pieces, clothes swaps, and upcycling for a sustainable fashion future.
As we approach the shift in seasons, refreshing our wardrobes can be an exhilarating task – but one that often comes at a cost to the planet. With over 92 million garments discarded each year, there’s never been a more crucial time to embrace sustainability. Below, we’ve curated essential tips to help you revamp your closet with the environment in mind.
Far from a futuristic fad, a capsule wardrobe is the ultimate all-season essential. Whether you’re layering up for autumn or stripping back for summer, a capsule wardrobe ensures your style remains timeless, versatile, and eco-friendly. Investing in key, high-quality pieces – like the perfect pair of jeans or a versatile white shirt – allows you to build a collection that transcends trends and seasons. Say goodbye to fast fashion impulses and hello to curated elegance, where every item can be effortlessly mixed, matched and worn on repeat. The true value of a capsule piece lies in its adaptability, ensuring you always look polished while reducing your fashion footprint.
Replace the thrill of shopping with the joy of swapping. This is a really fun way to get all your fashion-conscious pals together and spend a day brand-dropping and swapping. You could simply drop a message into the group chat asking if your friends wanted to pop round with some items they have been meaning to give away, or alternatively attend an official clothes swap event. There are so many that take place around the country every week, and they are always safe spaces to meet sustainable fashion aficionados dedicated to keeping their wardrobe extravagant yet eco-conscious.
Clothes swaps are a really easy way to bring new items into your closet without maximising it at the same time. Been meaning to throw out a load of items but aren’t getting any hits on depop or vinted? Attending a clothes swap is the next step to getting your old items off and out of your chest, and getting some trendy bits in return. Some swaps are free and only require you to turn up with an item to swap yet others may require a fee when purchasing items.
Updating your wardrobe sustainable swap style has never been more achievable with a clothes swap. Whether you’re trading that once-loved designer piece or seeking something fresh for autumn, clothes swaps offer an eco-conscious alternative that satisfies your craving for newness without overstuffing your closet.
Repurposing your broken and pre-loved garments doesn’t have to feel like a chore when done right. Using old materials from old clothes to make brand new garments is an effective way of introducing new items into your wardrobe. The best part? It’s fashionable AND cost effective.
Upcycling your old clothes doesn’t have to demand a degree in art or textiles. With a pair of scissors and a creative dream, your old jeans can be a pair of shorts in a matter of seconds. The options are endless with upcycling, whether you want to completely start from scratch and make your own items from hand-picked patterns or simply add onto what you already have. As the seasons change, seize the opportunity to get creative, dust off that sewing machine and discover the endless possibilities of upcycled style.
