The fashion industry is growing and coming up with better and more glamorous clothes each day that you can’t resist! This has compelled us to fill our wardrobes only to regret those purchases later. Often, we don’t even need the clothes that we end up buying because of the way they’re advertised. Many women realise how much they spend on their clothes and, hence, they now focus on spending less but on sustainable fashion brands that will last longer. Let’s look at some of the ways you can use to make your wardrobe more sustainable.

1. Rent Out Your Wardrobe
Every new season the excitement of buying new clothes hits you hard on your pocket. This season you can try online clothing rental sites such as By Rotation and HURR to borrow the latest designer outfits at only a fraction of their RRP. You can rent some statement pieces and mix and match them with your wardrobe to avoid cluttering and for creating a new style statement.

2. Sell Your Clothes
To avoid cluttering your wardrobe, you should adopt the habit of selling, renting, and/or donating your old clothes as soon as you stock the new ones. For example, if you buy two new dresses, make sure to sell or donate two dresses from your wardrobe to create space and avoid clutter. If you have some expensive pieces that you love, then you can sell them online to lessen the misery of giving them away.

3. Take Good Care Of Your Garments
If you want to make your wardrobe more sustainable then you should learn how to wash and take care of them. Cut down washing your jeans too often as they may lose their shape. Invest in a clothes steamer to keep your clothes fresh and wrinkle-free in a gentle way compared to iron. If you want to hang delicate garments then use padded hangers to protect them from snagging. Lastly, make sure to use gentle detergents to wash your clothes, which will make them last longer.
