Why you need a 'wellbeing wardrobe'

BBC  

Why you need a 'wellbeing wardrobe' lechatnoir/Getty Images Buying second-hand clothes is one more environmentally-friendly way to change your wardrobe People are buying more clothing than ever before in some countries, but it's not sustainable.

For the sector, it would mean tackling low incomes for the people who make the clothes, as well as support measures for workers who could lose jobs during a transition to a more sustainable industry. New systems of exchange The wellbeing wardrobe would mean shifting away from existing fashion business models and embracing new systems of exchange, such as collaborative consumption models, co-operatives, not-for-profit social enterprises and B-corps.
