Reorganize Your Closet
Throw every single piece of clothing you own on your bed and fold them one by one back into your closet.
While folding every garment, think about...
- when was the last time you wore it,
- if it still fits you,
- if it brings you joy,
- if you feel comfortable wearing it
- and if you have at least three different outfit combinations with it in mind.
If your answer to most of these questions is no, it is clear that this is not the garment for you and you have to let it go.

Donate Your Old Clothes
It's really important that you don't throw out all of your old clothes. The pieces that still look good can still serve somebody else. The best choice is to donate your clothes or sell it. Either way is saving the enviroment, because your clothes won't end up on a landfill.

Shop In Thrift Stores
Thrift stores, or second hand stores are becoming more popular these days, so if you're looking for a specific piece of clothing, or just want to get yourself something nice to wear, find your closest thrift store and spend your afternoon looking for the hidden gems.
You can choose either a store with already selected pieces, that are usually from a famous brand, good quality material or just look good, or a "dig through it" store, where the selection is up to you.

Fashion can be incredibly wasteful and damaging to the environment, but it doesn’t have to be. We can all make a difference by choosing to support companies that are committed to sustainable practices.

Support local buisnesses
If you're uncomfortable going through thrift stores, or you didn't find the piece you wanted, you can search for local designers, shops and brands in your area. There's nothing more rewarding than buying clothes that was made in fair conditions in your country, it has good quality so it will last and you supported some of your neighbors.
However, prepare yourself... it will be more expensive than fast fashion, but it's worth it.
