Do the research behind what you’re buying. The first & most simple thing to look for is what it’s made out of. This can be found on the care label & already tells you a lot about the impact this garment has had & will have. We like to opt for natural or recycled fibres for a lessened impact.

Consider its wearability and longevity. How many times can you wear this? Can you style for many seasons? Is it of high quality, giving you more opportunities for wearing & mending?

Do you already have something similar? We are all guilty of having a favourite style & therefore buying multiple items which are basically the same!

Do you align with the brand’s values? Are you proud to represent the brand you’re about to wear around? Do you align with their business philosophy & it’s one you’d like to support?
