\nIt’s time to embrace sustainable fashion – helping the environment, people and animals doesn’t mean you can’t have style, and on a budget too!!<\/p>\n

1. Start embracing the idea of second hand clothing \u2013 Countries around the world deal in second hand clothing, so there\u2019s no need for India not to follow! It\u2019s cheap, it\u2019s fun and you can find really interesting unique stuff! A lot of second hand stores are NGOs<\/a> as well, so your investment in these products could be channeled in a philanthropic manner – and you are ensuring it doesn\u2019t add to that big pile of waste!<\/p>\n

2. Clothes Swap \u2013 Start a clothes swap with your friends! We all lend or borrow clothes, so why not make it more of a habit. I\u2019ve often looked into my friend\u2019s wardrobes and loved some of their stuff ! Do it with a group of girls and you\u2019ll end up having more of a variety and less need to shop! Also this will give you more girl time ! And there\u2019s another option if your friends aren\u2019t on the same page as you! We now have an online community that does that as well \u2013 TFT<\/a><\/p>\n

\n3. Do your research \u2013 Next time you do want to make a purchase, make sure you know which sustainable stores to visit! A lot of Indian stores are now either completely sustainable or are focusing on it. I promise it won\u2019t be ten times more expensive than the outfit you were going to purchase anyway and it will last longer! Make sure you choose timeless long lasting pieces so you know even though you are spending on it \u2013 it\u2019s an investment! To name a few I know in India \u2013 Fair Trunk<\/a>, Toile,<\/a> Saahra<\/a>,Eco-trunk<\/a> , Good Earth<\/a> and BungalowEight<\/a> !<\/p>\n

4. Don\u2019t Throw! \u2013 We live in a country where tailors are available at every nook and corner, so instead of junking , reuse and recycle, get your creative juices going or just get the tailor to help you restyle your outfit you are bored with! Youtube<\/a> is full of DIY<\/a> videos as well! You\u2019ll be surprised at what you can do at a cost effective price! If you\u2019re really not up for that, there are plenty of charitable donation centers in India <\/a>and someone will definitely be happy to receive them!<\/p>\n

\"recycle<\/a><\/p>\n

5. Take care of your clothes \u2013 We all know how many Indian cities are hot and humid so often after wearing an outfit for just an hour, we tend to throw it for a wash! What most of us fail to realize is using a lower temperature in your washing is not only less damaging to fabrics, but it\u2019s a win for the environment too. Definitely better to hand wash, as we also have the opportunity to use the clothesline to dry our clothes! You can also try washing your clothes in larger batches, because this will waste less water and electricity. We now have eco friendly detergents in India<\/a>, which will cause less harm helping all your pieces to last longer. Last but not least, the more organic and airy your fabrics are, the less you\u2019ll sweat in them, so choose wisely!<\/p>\n

With all that in mind enjoy an ethical, enduring , happy wardrobe!<\/p>\n
