When in doubt, rent it out

At Good On You we also recommend not buying new pieces so you don’t create waste. The great news is the rise of rental sites, like Rent the Runway in the US or Glamcorner in Australia, allowing you to rent original and sustainable night out outfits!

Do you believe in life after love?

We sure do, at least when it comes to fashion. One of the ways you can have a more ethical and sustainable wardrobe is to make clothes last longer. So have a look at your thrift shop, swap items with your besties, ask friends and family if they have pieces they want to donate and go give these items some life after love! (Believe – Cher)
