10.28.2025

Fashion waste is a global crisis, but one of the easiest solutions lies in how we care for what we already own. With small changes, you can extend the lifespan of your wardrobe and cut down on unnecessary consumption.

Everyday Habits for Longevity

  1. Air out garments instead of overwashing.

  2. Spot-clean stains quickly to avoid full washes.

  3. Store clothes properly, fold knits, hang structured pieces.

  4. Avoid dryers that weaken fibers and shrink fabrics.
