Sustainable fashion

Have you ever thought about how the clothes you wear everyday are made? And the impact they have on our environment?

Yearly , fashion designers create clothes , shoes and accessories and are purchased by consumers . During the production and transportation of these designs a lot of greenhouse gases are produced and negatively affect the environment . Also , a lot of clothes are thrown away ๐Ÿ—‘๏ธ๐Ÿ—‘๏ธ , which take about 30-40 years to decompose and biodegrade

Thanks to sustainable fashionโ™ป๏ธ๐Ÿ‘—โ™ป๏ธ we can reduce the impact of clothes on our environment by reducing waste , creating a healthy environment and preserving it for the future. By supporting sustainable fashion , you can help save our lovely planet , Earth๐ŸŒ.

Here are some ways we can all help

1.DIY

Transforming your old clothes into stuff like , pillow cases , pencil pouches, bags and even dusters could be very helpful here . Revamping clothes: replacement of missing buttons or sewing torn ones will help minimize waste as you don’t throw them out .

2.Giving out /donation

Giving attracts blessings and giving out clothes that don’t fit anymore or clothes you don’t really wear can also protect the environment . You can pass them on to your siblings , cousins , nieces and nephews . If they don’t quite fit your relatives donate them to orphanages and shelters .

By supporting sustainable fashion brands and patronizing them, you can save our environment through fashion . Buying fewer pieces and transforming them into multiple outfits by throwing in some accessories might help too.

Don’t forget to recycle and avoid littering

Fashion and culture

Fashion is a way we can express ourselves through clothing and accessories . Fashion has always played a major role in culture as well .

Though the African fashion has not faded away completely , it’s being overshadowed by the foreign fashion , just because some people think they might look too ancient .

There are some ways you can wear African printed fabric or African accessories without looking like you just time traveled from the 1800s.

Bring life to your plain black or white dress with some handmade African beads .

Kente and African print fabric have the most vibrant colors just like our culture . You can sew this into the most fashionable dress or suit . These fabrics can also be made into accessories like fascinators and head wraps and even bags .

You can still wear foreign clothes whenever and still depict your culture through it .

Indulge in the welcoming , bold , rich and creative African culture . Be proud being black .โœŠ๐ŸพโœŠ๐ŸพโœŠ๐Ÿพ

Fashion Rule #1

I’ve seen a lot of people wearing what other people are wearing without taking into consideration how they look in that outfit . It’s their style not yours.

Always wear whatever feels like you and you feel comfortable in. Just be you and you’ll definitely look fabulous. And always make sure what you wear is modest and appropriate for the day and occasion.
