These 8 sustainable summer wardrobe staples will simplify your life and give your everyday outfit rotation an effortless upgrade!
If we could calculate how much time we spend a year deciding what to wear I think we would all have a major wake-up call. Decision fatigue is a real thing, my friends. I know for myself it can take hours of trial and error (and sometimes the feeling of crisis) just to decide on an outfit.
With the world returning to normalcy, we are finding ourselves needing outfits more than we have in a long time (yay!). The newness of social outings places an added pressure to look and feel our best. To help combat the stress of outfit choices I have put together a list of sustainable summer wardrobe staples to simplify your daily decision. Think of this list as the building blocks to a perfect sustainable summer capsule wardrobe.
There is really something so powerful about having a closet filled with buildable pieces, that you feel amazing in, and can easily be styled together. The only thing that can make that feeling better is when those pieces come from brands with an emphasis on sustainability and conscious production.
Imagine a world where every pair of jeans are your favorite pair of jeans, that’s the energy we are going for in this blog post. Okay? 🙂
