Fast Fashion is a huge contributor to the eco-footprint, clothes that go in and out of fashion and are no longer used based on that can cause a lot of waste. But as we’ll always need clothes to wear, what is the alternative?

As a consumer, it is high time to make conscious choices with our clothes and the same goes for our socks. As a consumer, we often forget about the little things that need our attention too and socks are one of those.

Here are a few things you need to consider to make a smooth transition to sustainable choices with your socks: Where do you purchase your socks from? How long do you keep the socks? How do you dispose of your socks?

 

Here are a few ways you can be stylish without negatively affecting the environment:
