As the weather starts to cool and people begin planning their Halloween costumes, impulsive purchases often skyrocket. Whether this is in the form of stocking up on new winter coats or purchasing wacky Halloween costumes, the concept of building a sustainable wardrobe may be far from your mind over the next few months.
As the seasons change, there is a recurring trend on social media in which people discuss trends for upcoming seasons. This is followed by an influx of people buying new clothes, jumpers, shoes, and accessories purely to own the latest trends and fashions while not thinking whether the items are truly needed.
In light of this, fashion experts at the London-based fabric shop Dalston Mill Fabrics have addressed the dangers of impulsive purchases at the start of a new season and offer advice on how to be more sustainable in fashion this autumn.
Plan your Halloween costume in advance.
As Halloween looms closer, it can be incredibly beneficial to start planning your costume months in advance. Often, people leave their costumes to the very last minute, resulting in countless impulsive and unnecessary purchases in a desperate bid to put together a themed outfit.
Instead of typical last-minute panic, why not plan your Halloween costume in advance? This gives you plenty of time to shop for second-hand pieces and repurpose existing pieces in your wardrobe, which is much more sustainable than frantically ordering last-minute pieces from a next-day delivery company.
