Consider investing in one well-made, high-quality, sustainably sourced cotton t-shirt instead of three flimsy ones.

Shop sustainably
Before buying, check the brand's mission and values to see if they prioritize social and environmental policies, or check their ranking on the Fashion Transparency Index.
3
Resist impulsive buying
Review each item in your wardrobe and ask, "How many times have I worn this?" Based on your answers, identify your common shopping triggers to resist making impulsive purchases.
4
Buy secondhand
Shop for secondhand clothes at charities, vintage shops, or thrift stores. If enough people do this, it will reduce the demand for new manufacturing and minimize fashion waste in landfills.
5
Donate
If your favorite pair of jeans doesn't fit you anymore or there are extra clothes you no longer want to wear, consider donating them instead of throwing them away.
