12 Ways to Shop Fashion Sustainably

In today's video, I am sharing 12 ways to shop fashion sustainably.

There is no doubt that the fashion industry is a huge contributor to global pollution and waste. By now it is a well-known fact that we are consuming far too many clothes and worst of all, the companies making these clothes are producing way more than we need.

As conscious consumers, we can do multiple things to shop more sustainably. But always remember that the best thing we can do to be more sustainable is to wear what we already own.

important about me ????‍♀️
Please know that I began my ethical fashion journey in mid-2020 and am still learning new things every day. My aim is to build a community here on YouTube that is passionate about style but wants to pursue it consciously and ethically.

I encourage you to explore shopping ethical & sustainable brands or those brands that are at least making progress (if these options are available to you). I also encourage you to shop second-hand as much as possible, whether that be at thrift shops (once again, if this is available to you). Do your best to be kind to people and the planet and you will be rewarded greatly ♥️

On this channel, I like to share fashion styling tips, outfit ideas and sustainable fashion tips. My motto is #BuyLessWearMore and is a friendly reminder to us all to buy less new things and wear more of what we already own.

#SlowFashion is a journey and I thank you for being on it with me!

Lots of love xx
Emily
