6 R's : How to Dress Smarter and Greener!

Your Guide to the 6 R's of Clothing 

Fast fashion reigns, but its impact on our planet and wallets leaves much to be desired. Here's where the 6 R's of clothing come in, offering a roadmap to a more conscious, stylish and sustainable wardrobe. 

1. Rethink: 

Before buying, challenge yourself.

• Do I truly need this? Does it align with my style and values? 

• Can I borrow, rent, or buy pre-loved? Alternatives exist! 

• Is it ethically made and sustainably produced? Research matters. 

2. Refuse: 

Say NO to,

• Impulse buys: Breathe before buying. Is this fleeting fancy or lasting love? 

• Cheap trends: Quality over quantity! Trends fade, but classics stay. 

• Unethical practices: Support brands that align with your values. 

3. Repair: 

Don't toss, fix! 

• Learn basic mending: YouTube tutorials are your friends! 

• Support local tailors: They work magic with needle and threads. 

• Embrace imperfections: A patch or visible repair tells a story. 

4. Reduce: 

Build a capsule wardrobe. 

• Invest in versatile staples: Mix and match for endless outfits. 

• Declutter regularly: Donate or sell what you no longer wear. 

• Choose timeless styles: Trends come and go, but classics never die. 

5. Reuse: 

Give clothes a second life. 

• Swap with friends: Organize a clothing swap party! 

• Get creative: Upcycle old clothes into bags, accessories, or home decor. 

• Sell or donate: Give pre-loved pieces a new home and support others. 

6. Recycle: 

When clothes reach their end, recycle responsibly. 

• Check for textile recycling programs: Look for drop-off centers or specific brands with initiatives. 

• Choose brands with closed-loop systems: They turn old clothes into new products. 

• Support initiatives that recycle textiles into useful materials.
