Rent fashion

Those who want to dress consciously and sustainably can buy fair products. But there are other ways to be sustainable by extending the life cycle of a garment. One way to do it, is to rent fashion.

I think we are all agree, if a piece of clothing is made of sustainable materials and with fair conditions, it is sustainable. But sustainability can also mean extending the life cycle of a textile. Pimp the existing wardrobe by transforming an existing dress into a shirt or the old leggings into a shoulder-off top are popular options. But there are more possibilities, such as shopping at the flea market or renting an item of clothing. And that’s exactly what I did with SHAREaLOOK.

The young, innovative company from Switzerland has set itself the goal of maintaining the life expectancy of a piece of clothing for as long as possible. They offer for conscious consumers a sustainable opportunity to wear new trends. Lenders and borrowers have the possibilities to lend and borrow clothes at SHAREaLOOK. The looks can be searched online or viewed in their store in Zurich.

My look today consists of dark green Burberry pants that I borrowed combined with a white shirt that has been in my closet for a long time. So I created a new look quickly and easily and not only saved money, but also extended the life cycle of these pants.
