How can sustainable fashion make you a better person?

November 19, 2019

How can sustainable fashion make you a better person?

The fashion industry generates the 2nd highest amount of wastage in the world, right after the oil and fuel companies. Big brands often throw away clothes that do not fit their perfect criteria. A single loose thread, miss-print of design, small wear & tear are reasons enough for the fashion world to discard the garment. Also, the fast fashion market makes use of synthetic fabrics that take a toll on the environment. These garments have a very short life span and are mostly not recyclable. Sustainable fashion is the movement towards better ecological habits and social reform.

Here are a few tips to help you be a more sustainable consumer-

Go vintage. Dig out your mom’s wardrobe for classic pieces that can be restyled or tailored to fit your style sensibility. Linen sarees are timeless pieces that become softer overtime. Style it with a trendy crop top or denim jacket for a trendy look.
Recycle. Demin is made to last, so bring out your old jeans and jackets to recycle. You can make hot shorts from old jeans or add badges to your jackets to restyle them. If you cannot find a way to wear them, recycle to make tote bags, wallets and more.
Donate. There will always be people who have less than us, donate your old clothes to nearby orphanages or NGO’s. Make sure they are wearable and in good condition, please do not donate garbage.
Fast fashion detox. The fast-fashion brands will give you the latest trendy clothes for cheap prices. Remember these clothes will most likely not make it for even a year, they will fade, tear or stop being trendy.
Learn your style. Instead of following every trend, learn what suits your body type the best and what is most comfortable for you. Invest in a few solid pieces that you can restyle over time. A good denim jacket, a great pair of jeans, simple handloom linen designs, and one classic little black dress.
Buy handloom. One of the most sustainable fashion practices is the craft of handloom. India is home to a number of handloom artisans and weavers. These are not just beautiful pieces but will also last for a very long time. Visit www.loomfolks.com for a wide range of handloom and handcrafted designs directly sourced from weavers.
Support for local designers. Instead of buying from big brands that employ child-labor, create a huge amount of wastes and other unethical practices. Instead, buy from your local designers and friends.
Say No to synthetic. Artificial fabrics like nylon and polyester are bad for the environment and also for your skin. Instead, opt for natural fabrics like cotton and linen.

These simple tips are easy to follow and will not burn a hole in your pocket if each citizen practices a few sustainable choices the impact will be huge. The truth is that we have a moral responsibility towards the planet and it is imperative to start making lifestyle choices. So reuse, recycle and restyle!

Office party wear- Indian style!

November 19, 2019

Office party wear- Indian style!

Office parties can be a tricky affair. You want to look your best but also maintain a professional look. It’s best to avoid short dresses, skirts and things you would wear to a club. But that doesn’t mean you can’t look stylish and glamorous for your office party. Here are a few tips to help you get the perfect look while partying with your bosses!

Simple Kurti with a pop of color! 😍😍😍😍😍

A well fitted and comfortable Kurti is your best friend. It’s easy to style, convenient, and super easy to manage. Add a dash of color to your ensemble with bright colored dupattas or stoles. These Kota silk dupattas from www.loomfolks.com come in vibrant colors and chic designs. The minimalist look is on-trend and the good news is that they will not burn a hole in your pocket. Starting at just 500 rupees, you can give your wardrobe a modern twist and your parties a fun feel. Try this look if the party is after office hours or at the office itself.

Pretty in saree ❤️️❤️️❤️️❤️️❤️️

For an important event at the office opt for the saree look. Go for plain handloom linen sarees for a professional yet super-stylish look. Heavy embroidery and too many sequences are not for the office, they belong at weddings. To add glam to your saree, pair it with handmade jumkas, bold rings, or a statement neck-piece. Keep the make-up minimal with just kajal and a nice shade of lipstick. Visit www.loomfolks.com for chic minimalist sarees and more! There are many looks you can try with a linen saree- you can even pair it with a denim jacket or a cute crop top to make your look modern and edgy.

Dress your feet 👠👠👠👠👠

The perfect pair of shoes has the ability to transform any outfit and instantly turn it into party-ready. Six-inch stilettos while glamorous are not very practical, especially for an office party where you will have to move around to interact with people. These handcrafted banjaras from www.loomfolks.com are very comfortable and come in many elegant designs. Pair them with your Kurti, saree, or even jeans. They are super light and easy to carry if you are traveling for an office retreat.

Ethnic fashion has seen many trends these past few years and has become a fashion staple. Gone are the days when we associated Indian wear with only festivals and the older generations. With women taking over the boardroom, its time the saree made her way back into our wardrobes too! So don’t shy away from Indian wear and make heads-turn during your nest office party. The most important thing to remember is what occasion you are dressing-up for. If it’s a simple farewell for a co-worker go for a simple kurti look, if it’s a big party like the annual Diwali party go for the saree look. The versatility of Indian wear paired with modern cuts and designs means you will never go out of style. Visit www.loomfolks.com for the best in handloom creations.
