Us too! Mother Earth is calling and she wants her water back! #stylishSOS

[My Yellow Brick House @MyYellowBricks]

@stylishonsea Don't know if it's advice, but more of an issue. I hate wasting water. Back to Bangladesh and other places where clean water is not so readily available, it makes me cringe when my children let the tap run 😆

So true. Someone once said "your clothes should cost more than your coffee" 100% agree! #stylishSOS

[Tooting Home Trends @Tootinghometrends @TootsHomeTrends]

I know affordability comes into it but not everyone who buys a £3 t-shirt needs to #stylishSOS

[Stylish on sea @stylishonsea]

Good one! Wear it out first - don't just buy for the sake of having it!

[Tooting Home Trends @Tootinghometrends @TootsHomeTrends]

Maybe to be less concerned about having the latest everything - be more individual ? #stylishSOS

[Stylish on sea @stylishonsea]

So true. Hopefully there will be a shift in attitude to see a £3 top from Primark as a harmful byproduct of the fast fashion machine and not at all a "bargain" #stylishSOS

[Rework&Rewear @ReworkitStA]

@stylishonsea I think everyone has better awareness and knows there are sustainable choices. Product cost however is always the sway 😞

[Stylish on sea @stylishonsea]

You hit the nail on the head there! We need a bit of #communityspirit back! It's everybody's business, there's no Planet B, guys! #stylishSOS

[Tooting Home Trends @Tootinghometrends @TootsHomeTrends]

I think some people will always think it's someone else's job to save the planet 🙄#stylishSOS

[Stylish on sea @stylishonsea]

6.) If you could give people one piece of advice for living a more eco conscious lifestyle, what would it be? #stylishSOS

[Stylish on sea @stylishonsea]

Yes! We bang on about this here but never stop asking #whomademyclothes enquiring minds wish to know! #stylishSOS

[Tooting Home Trends @Tootinghometrends @TootsHomeTrends]

I think it's important to question how things can be made so cheaply and quantity over quality #stylishSOS

[Stylish on sea @stylishonsea]

Very true. It takes a long time to change habits and win hearts and minds! If the current #ClimateEmergency isn't enough I'm not sure what is! 🤷‍♀️ #stylishSOS

[Tooting Home Trends @Tootinghometrends @TootsHomeTrends]

True but how do we get people out of the 'shopping on Saturday' habit? I think some people just like buying another something new.. #stylishSOS

[Stylish on sea @stylishonsea]

Absolutely. Power in numbers 👌 the chain is so important too, not just the clothes on the hangers #stylishSOS

[My Yellow Brick House @MyYellowBricks]

@stylishonsea I think they are clueing into more sustainable choices. I spent time in Bangladesh where they have fast fashion factories - and pressure from consumers do help change the chain

[Stylish on sea @stylishonsea]

5.) Do you anticipate a shift towards slow fashion next year? What tips do you have for people to ditch fast fashion? #stylishSOS

[Stylish on sea @stylishonsea]

I think it is really positive that big names are making noises about #ethicalfashion however it is to be seen what changes will be made or is it just good ol' #Greenwashing!? #stylishSOS

[Stylish on sea @stylishonsea]

4.) What positive changes do you think the fashion industry has made this year? #stylishSOS

[Stylish on sea @stylishonsea]

Proof is in the pudding! When you buy cheap, you buy twice (at least!) investing in quality products is the way to go 👍 #stylishSOS

[My Yellow Brick House @MyYellowBricks]

@stylishonsea Not too sure. I think I came to the realisation in e.g. winter jumpers, if I invest in a proper cashmere and take care of it, it can last for years. Last one I bought from @Brora has lasted me for 8 years now and still looks great

[Stylish on sea @stylishonsea]

4.) What positive changes do you think the fashion industry has made this year? #stylishSOS

[Stylish on sea @stylishonsea]

Totally agree! Our highstreets cannot keep up with the online retailers and to be honest, when you can find great #ethicalfashion alternatives online... Is that such a bad thing? 🤔 #stylishSOS

[My Yellow Brick House @MyYellowBricks]

@TootsHomeTrends @stylishonsea I must say internet shopping really does allow more time to consider before buying

[Stylish on sea @stylishonsea]

I really think it's showcasing examples and making alternative choices within public view. Media shouldn't be glamourising fast fashion so much and we all need to be more #mindful 💙 #stylishSOS

[Stylish on sea @stylishonsea]

3.) How can people be encouraged (or supported) to make more eco friendly choices? #stylishSOS

[Stylish on sea @stylishonsea]

Oh yes! Dry January takes on a different meaning for us at Stylish HQ! 😂 #stylishSOS

[Tooting Home Trends @Tootinghometrends @TootsHomeTrends]

@stylishonsea #stylishSOS Good idea esp for January!
