8 reasons
why expensive clothes are more sustainable
Of course, not all expensive clothing is sustainable, and not all inexpensive clothing is sustainable either. Good clothes can cost very little (for example, bought in the afternoon), or cost nothing at all (if you change clothes with friends or just take them out of the back of your closet).
However, I offer 8 obvious (and not so obvious) reasons why expensive clothing will be more sustainable.
1
Higher quality materials
Expensive clothes are often made with top-notch fabrics like organic cotton or ethically-sourced silk, ensuring longevity and reducing the need for frequent replacements.
2
Ethical production
Luxury brands often prioritize fair wages, safe working conditions, and environmentally-friendly practices. By supporting them, you contribute to a more sustainable fashion industry.
3
Timeless designs
Expensive clothing tends to focus on classic styles that can be worn for years, regardless of trends. This reduces the pressure to constantly update your wardrobe, minimizing waste.
4
Reduced carbon footprint
Some expensive brands prioritize local manufacturing, which cuts down on transportation emissions. Choosing these options helps combat climate change and supports local economies.
5
Attitude to clothes
You are unlikely to treat clothes bought at a sale with love, because their value to you will be equal to their cost. You won’t have to take it for repairs if necessary, and buying the same new one will be easier than washing the existing one. With more expensive clothes, stronger relationships are built, based on care, respect, and gratitude for the wonderful looks in them.
6
Versatility
Expensive garments are often designed to be versatile and timeless, allowing you to mix and match them with ease. This reduces the need for excessive items in your wardrobe, saving money and resources.
7
Resale value
Quality clothing tends to retain its value over time. By investing in expensive pieces, you can resell them or donate to others, extending their lifespan and reducing textile waste.
8
Extended Lifespan
High-end clothing is typically designed and crafted with exceptional attention to detail, ensuring it can withstand the test of time. With proper care, these garments can be handed down or resold, prolonging their lifespan and minimizing waste.
