The fashion industry is at a breaking point. With ultra fast fashion brands like Shein and Temu churning out more designs per day than anyone could ever dream of wearing in a lifetime, our planet is feeling the strain of overproduction and waste
In the wake of this backlash to fast fashion waste, many fashion enthusiasts are transitioning to a more minimalist wardrobe as they embrace sustainable fashion. If you too are considering the swap, it may seem daunting at first—does this mean you’ll have to throw everything out? Stop buying clothes at all?
The change doesn’t have to be so drastic or so extreme. In fact, this can even backfire on you, resulting in you not being able to keep up with it.
However, if you do want to start making a change to your wardrobe, consider: the capsule wardrobe.
What is a Capsule Wardrobe and How is it Sustainable?
Capsule wardrobes is a curated selection of versatile, timeless pieces that reflect your style and lifestyle. The focus is on quality over quantity – owning fewer items that work harder.
What goes into a capsule wardrobe?
- Neutral tones that pair well with everything
- Classic silhouettes that never go out of fashion
- High-quality fabrics that last through many wears
By minimising clutter and reducing reliance on trend cycles, you’re making a conscious choice to dress better and tread lighter on the environment.
Building Your Sustainable Capsule Wardrobe: Actionable Steps
So, how do you build a sustainable capsule wardrobe? Well, it doesn’t happen overnight. It’ll involve thoughtful decision-making and a willingness to redefine your relationship with clothing. Here are some practical steps you can start implementing today:
- Do a thorough closet clean-out: This doesn’t mean just throwing out pieces based on frequency of wear; think of Marie Kondo’s “spark joy” philosophy instead. Something that is rarely worn but brings you great joy when you wear it, like a seasonal fur coat, can be worth keeping! Guide yourself with questions like “Have I worn this in the last year?” “Does it truly fit my style and make me feel good?” “Is it high-quality and durable?” This will help eliminate pieces that no longer serve a purpose or that you don’t feel match your true personal style.
- Get rid of unwanted items: Instead of discarding unwanted items in landfills, explore options for selling or donating them instead. There are many donation avenues across Singapore from church-run thrift stores to independent second-hand shops.
