Sustainable Fashion
It is very important to dress sustainably. More people are asking themselves: "Where do my clothes come from? What do they actually cost and who pays for those costs?" and last but not least "Where do my clothes go when i throw/give them away (for recycling)?".
There are getting more options on the market for buying and contributing to sustainable fashion like thrifting, buying from sustainable brands, wearing clothes longer and buying less. More and more companies are also trying to become sustainable, or at least appear to be...
so how do you know who is honest and who is just greenwashing and how do you find the time to find a suitable sustainable fashion brand for you, since it can sometimes cost quite some time to find your style within your price range which is also ethical and/or sustainable. Well we have a couple of ethical and sustainable options for you listed with ranging levels of sustainability, ethics and eco-friendliness.

Secondhand clothing apps
If you don't have thrift stores there are tons of apps you can use.
Facebook groups or marketplace.
In the Netherlands you have marktplaats, or my favourite: United wardrobe

Renting clothing brands
Sometimes you just want clothing for a couple or even just 1 occasion, or you just get bored of clothing easily. You can then opt for renting pieces of clothing from certain brands.
Those brands are designed to keep the clothes in good condition and rent them to different people for a small price.
