As Earth Day approaches, it's essential to reflect on our impact on the planet and how we can make a difference, even in our fashion choices. Sustainable fashion isn't just about buying eco-friendly clothing; it's also about how we care for the pieces we already own. Here are some tips on how to look after your clothes while being mindful of the environment:
Wash with Care: opt for cold water and eco-friendly detergents when washing your clothes. Washing in cold water saves energy and helps preserve the colour and fabric of your garments. Try turning garments inside out when putting them in a washing machine for extra protection.
Hand wash delicate items : washing more delicate garments can prolong their life and stop damage. For example, it is best to handwash underwear and items made from satin and silk.
Air Dry: Skip the dryer and air dry your clothes whenever possible. Not only does this save energy, but it also helps extend the life of your garments by reducing wear and tear from heat exposure.
Repair: Instead of tossing out clothes with minor damages, learn basic sewing skills to mend them yourself or take them to a tailor for repairs. Not only does this practice reduce waste, but it also adds a personal touch to your wardrobe.
Invest in Quality: Choose timeless pieces made from high-quality materials that will last for years to come. Quality clothing tends to withstand frequent washing and wear, reducing the need for constant replacements. Our Glamorous’ care range contains sustainable materials, so this is a great place to start!
Donate or Upcycle: When you're ready to part with clothing, consider donating them to charity, selling them online or upcycling them into new creations. This keeps clothes out of landfills and gives them a second life. Never throw them away remember to recycle!
Store Properly: Proper storage can prolong the life of your clothes. Fold knits instead of hanging them to prevent stretching, and store garments in breathable cotton or linen bags to protect them from dust and light.
Know your label:
By incorporating these simple practices into your clothing care routine, you can minimise your environmental footprint and contribute to a more sustainable fashion industry. Let's celebrate Earth Day by making conscious choices that benefit both the planet and our wardrobes. Together, we can create an eco-friendlier future for fashion.
