Adopting this lifestyle does not mean giving up buying clothes, but doing it in a more conscious way. Here are some tips on how to join the slow fashion movement:

• Buy less, but better: Invest in quality clothes that you can wear for years to come.
• Research brands: Make sure the brands you buy from have sustainable and ethical practices.
• Choose quality, durable materials: Although organic is often associated with eco-friendly, it is not always the most sustainable option. Today, some products, such as the soles of trainers, cannot be made from 100% organic materials. Rather than focusing solely on organic, conscious shopping means opting for durable, hard-wearing materials that extend the life of garments, thereby reducing waste generation.
• Reuse and repair: Before getting rid of a garment, consider mending, selling or repurposing it.
• Opt for second-hand fashion: Vintage shops and second-hand clothing markets offer sustainable and unique alternatives.
