📖 LONG READING
Choosing Clothes That Last
Many people today are learning that fast fashion is not always the best choice. Cheap clothes often don’t last long. They can lose their shape or color after just a few washes. Instead, it is smarter to buy clothes that are comfortable and durable.
Comfortable clothes help you feel good all day. Durable clothes can save you money because you don’t need to buy new items often. You can also help the planet by buying fewer, better things.
Before you buy, check the material. Cotton, linen, and wool are good natural fabrics. Look at the stitching and the label. If it looks well-made, it will probably last longer.
So next time you shop, think about quality and comfort. Your future self (and the Earth) will thank you.
