Capsule Wardrobe For Women

Quick Guide For Capsule Wardrobe For Women

Out of the many practices of sustainability that we should adopt, sustainable fashion remains one of the foremost. It is known to everyone that fashion trends evolve every season- what is relevant this summer may not be on the runway next summer. And this leads to a lot of reckless buying in order to be ‘in trend.’ This impulsive and reckless buying definitely burns a hole in our pocket and contributes to the rising consumerism. Clearly, excessive consumerism isn’t healthy for our planet and its resources.

Sustainable fashion is, therefore, the need of the hour. A capsule wardrobe is one way to adopt this practice.

Coined by Susie Faux, this is something which is definitely economical, but also sustainable.
