How to choose fashion & apparel
Fit, comfort and repeat wear are the starting points. Compare the garment's fabric composition and care requirements rather than treating an entire brand as uniformly sustainable.
| Check before buying | Why it matters | Trade-off or limit |
|---|---|---|
| Measurements and fit | Compare garment measurements with an item you already wear comfortably. | Size names vary between brands; ordering several sizes increases returns. |
| Composition, seams and repair options | Check the full blend, fastening quality and whether alterations are practical. | Blends may improve stretch but complicate recycling. |
| Care and expected wear | Include washing, drying and specialist cleaning in the ownership cost. | A delicate fabric can need more care than everyday use allows. |
Common mistake: Do not infer a garment's labour standards or recycled percentage from a general brand slogan.
Keeping the total below £25
Check the current checkout price, delivery and any essential accessories. Price bands are approximate; a product in a band is not a guaranteed live offer below £25. Compare unit prices and ongoing supplies before deciding that the smaller or cheaper pack is better value.
