The new season is here and after months of hibernation it is only natural to want some new clothing for the warmer weather. Now some of us have storage where we keep our old clothes packed away and dip into as the seasons change. Depending on where you live, it might be time to fold your heavy sweaters and winter coat for next year.
Even with the clothing reserves, you might be itching to make a couple new purchases. Here are some tips on how to look amazing, spring clean your closet all while living more sustainably.
Donate:
Take stock of what fits, what still ”sparks joy” and what needs to be repaired or altered. The remainder of items can be donated and out of courtesy these should be clean clothes in good shape. Take a minute to read this article for a list of places to donate.
Host a Clothing Swap:
Many of us have not been able to gather in months and a small party might be the perfect way to socialize and find new spring clothes. Invite your closest friends, set the swap terms, and enjoy. This is a fun alternative to thrifting.
Make a Purchase:
Consider this a last resort when trying to reduce your carbon footprint. Look for investment pieces that will last. We recommend first searching on the Good On You Directory to find brands that are both ethical and sustainable to support.
