7 secrets of how to come to conscious consumption


Nowadays, I think, you can often come across the following picture: you open the door of your closet, and it is filled to the brim with things, and some of the things may fall on you. But with such an abundance of things, you have a persistent thought in your head “what should I wear?

how to come to conscious consumption


All of this has to do with Fast Fashion. There is a dime a dozen trends in stores, choose and buy! People began to consume more and more. But in connection with the pandemic, the situation began to change, a trend towards rational and conscious consumption began. People don't wear as many clothes as they buy! Also, the lion's share was taken by ecology, which needs to be saved in the literal sense of the word. I think you will support me in this regard ... Why am I all this?

Are you filtering the items you intend to buy?

For example:

  1. If you liked an item in a store, do you analyze how many sets you can make with it by adding it to your wardrobe? Or do you grab right away and run immediately to the checkout? I recommend mentally making at least three to five sets with the chosen thing, so that it is fully useful for your wardrobe and "fulfills" its value.

  2. Have you noticed that you wear the same thing, day after day, despite the fact that your wardrobe is overflowing, and some of the items have not even been cut off the label yet? This comes from the fragmentation of the wardrobe. It seems that there are clothes, but the images are not put together, or are used only in one set. Before buying, I advise you to think carefully whether this thing is really necessary or can you do without it?

  3. Pay attention to the item price / quality. The thing must meet the following requirements: comfort, convenience, fabric composition, how the seams are sewn, the relevance of the style, goes / does not go, etc. For different people, the criteria will vary in different ways, since it is all individual. It is better to buy one quality item instead of one that will have to be changed after three washes. Conscious consumption not only saves the environment, but also your budget. Great! How do you think?

  4. All stores are full of trends, but this does not mean that you have to buy them all to become fashionable. Moreover, not all trends are suitable for this or that figure (all have their own nuances) and what will go to one person will not suit another. Choose for yourself one or two trends that will suit you and emphasize your individuality.

  5. In addition, if you rationally approach your wardrobe, already with a good base, then it is enough to do shopping once a season, while buying 2-3 things, introducing them into your wardrobe and making new sets with them. Provided that you do not buy things - "duplicates" (the same style) This problem occurs quite often. When changing things - "doubles", people around do not understand that something has changed, even if it is a different color. The feeling that you have dressed all the same will remain.

  6. When you open the closet and see every thing in it, you have free access to it, then you have fewer problems and questions, what to wear today? What to combine with what? And the kits add up in your head by themselves. Superfluous and unnecessary things cluttering up the closet simply prevent you from seeing the perfect sets for you. Try to hang a maximum of two things on the hangers, for example a T-shirt and a shirt, so that the first layer is visible. Now they sell various convenient storage containers, take a closer look at them.

  7. When auditing your wardrobe, do not throw things in the trash can! Now there are many places where you can turn in clothes and give them a second life, for example: hand them over to a store for processing, offer to friends, give them to a consignment shop, resell them via social media. networks. In general, as you can see, there are a lot of options.


So, to summarize, adhering to the elementary rules that lead to conscious consumption, we can not only make our life easier and save the budget, but also help our planet.
