3. Donate your unwanted clothes.

5. Learn how to repair clothes yourself.
Don’t throw something away just because it rips or breaks. Take advantage of YouTube tutorials and learn to fix your own clothes, instead of throwing them out or going to the tailor.

7. Organise your wardrobe.
If you can see what’s in your closet, you’re more likely to wear every garment. Be inventive when creating new outfits. Remember that the most sustainable option is to wear what you already own.

8. Alter clothes you already own.
Give your wardrobe a twist. If you are tired of always wearing the same plain jeans, do something about it instead of throwing them away when they’re in perfect condition. Expand your clothes’ lifespan as much as possible.
