Building a Sustainable Wardrobe: The Cable Knit Sweater

As we step into the new year with a list full of resolutions in hand, let making more sustainable fashion choices be on that list. As sustainability is an ever-evolving topic it can be overwhelming trying to understand it all. But don’t let that scare you off, I’m here to make it easier for you. The most sustainable choice you can make is to wear what’s already in your closet. But whilst I’m urging you to slow down, I do understand the joy in purchasing something new. 

This new series “Building a Sustainable Wardrobe” will highlight key styles that can be incorporated into a transeasonal, neutral, “capsule” style wardrobe. One you’ll want to wear for years to come. When choosing what to include I’ve looked at what materials it’s made of and the impact production has on people and the planet. 

We’re kicking this series off with cable knit sweaters, so keep scrolling to find your perfect winter companion.
