Consumers are shifting their purchase decisions to create a cleaner environment through the clothes they wear.

People are becoming aware that our modern society has to develop in more sustainable ways. Today, fashion is not just about wearing trending clothes and matching them with perfect accessories. The world is slowly shifting to accepting that sustainable fashion and ethical clothing are also on the must-purchase list.

Sustainable fashion can be defined as clothing, shoes and accessories that are manufactured, marketed and used in the most sustainable manner possible, taking into account both environmental and socio-economic aspects. In practice, this implies continuous work to improve all stages of the products life cycle from design to raw material production, manufacturing, transport, storage, marketing and final sale, to use, reuse, repair, remake and recycling of the product and its components. In recent years, sustainability has become a buzzword. Just like how consumers take a look at the ingredients of the packed food item they buy and the chemicals they put on their bodies, they are also shifting their purchase decisions to create a cleaner environment through the clothes they wear. People take a close look at the clothes they buy to see the level of sustainability in it. Of course, fashion fanatics want to wear fast fashion clothing to look cool, but at the same time, they also look for fashion that is sustainable, fair and circular without limiting the preferences to latest trends.
