Climate change is threatening to destroy a big part of our planet, and even though there are many exciting and promising solutions that can salvage the problem, it’s also important to do something on a personal level. After all, personal responsibility matters, and even though one person can’t do much to stop the adverse effects of environmental change, lowering consumption, and living a more minimalist and eco-oriented lifestyle is a wonderful place to start. 

Sustainable Fashion is a movement that aims at incorporating environmentally friendly practices into the clothing or fashion industry. It simply means having a sustainable lifestyle personally with regard to your clothing.

With the rise in concerns about fast fashion and the fact that the value of unused clothing in wardrobes across the UK is estimated at around £30 billion, talk of capsule wardrobes is becoming more prominent.
