There are some clothes which defy trends and become the much loved, hardworking staples in your wardrobe you wear time and time again.
The pieces you reach for daily and the ones which solve the all too common “I have nothing to wear” conundrum.
No matter how sustainably made a piece of clothing is, it’s not sustainable if you don’t wear it. Sustainable fashion starts with wearability.
Invest in your wardrobe basics and fill the gaps with less expensive (but still sustainable!) pieces and op shop and thrifted finds.
Once you have a solid set of basics and wardrobe staples, you’ll (almost) never have ‘nothing to wear’ again!
