The topic of sustainable style can often feel overwhelming, but we’re here to make it easy to dress more consciously. For us, it comes down to the equation: thoughtful shopping = sustainable fashion. Asking certain questions when refreshing our wardrobes lends itself to more thoughtful shopping: “Do I need it?” “Do I already have this?” “How many times will I wear it?” These are just some of the questions to think about on our journey to making more eco-friendly fashion choices. 

For more great tips, we recently asked content creator and sustainable style expert, Jessica Cobabe, to chat with us about her practical advice on shopping smarter while still reflecting your personal style.
