Tips on how to make your clothing last

We live in a day and age where athleisure wear isn't just for the gym. Whether it's t-shirts, shorts or the very versatile leggings, athleisure wear has been a constant go to.

How can we make sure we get the longest life and use out of our clothing?

1. Air dry your clothing. Putting your clothes in a dryer will affect the shape and quality of the fabrics which can also lead to holes and rips.
2. Avoid the use of fabric softeners. Fabric softeners will apply a film on the fabric which will help to hold in odours and bacteria. If possible soak clothing in a water/vinegar mix prior to washing.
3. Like fabric softener detergent can trap odour causing bacteria to get trapped within fibres of clothing. Try to use detergent sparingly.
4. Wash clothing in cold water. It is less likely to shrink and fade clothing which is what we want in order to make our clothing last.
5. Iron clothing especially those with print and logos inside out.
6. Treat stains immediately!

We hope these tips go a long way in adding sustainability to your athleisure clothing!!
