Building a Sustainable Wardrobe: Tips for Curating a Timeless Resort Wear Collection

The season is here for wearing summer dresses but we know how hard it can be to find clothing that suits your style, and if you’re like us… then you’ll be looking for sustainable resort wear for your collection.

As we become more aware of the impact our choices have on the environment, it's important to start thinking about the clothing we buy, so here are our top tips for curating a timeless wardrobe.

Quality Over Quantity 

We’ve found that the key to building your wardrobe is to invest in sustainable resort wear that’s made to last. We’ve all bought clothing that’s lost its shape, colour and quality with multiple wears and washes. We believe a dress isn’t made to be worn once. With the right quality materials, you won’t need to replace your items as frequently, helping reduce the amount of waste you produce. 

So how do we fabricate ethical women’s clothing? 

When choosing premium quality fabrics we ethically source our materials to make for the most comfortable and sustainable resort wear. This includes organic, natural, and recycled fabrics that are kinder to the environment and are produced without harming animals or people. We suggest avoiding synthetic fabrics, as they are made of petrochemicals and require more energy to produce. They also take a long time to biodegrade. With these ethical women’s clothing fabrics, we can really make a difference!

Opt for Classic Styles

One of the main benefits of building a sustainable resort wear wardrobe is that you can collect classic styles that will never go out of fashion. Choosing versatile pieces that can be dressed up or down is the key to building a functional, stylish and sustainable wardrobe. Coco and Kandy cater to an array of luxury maxi dresses, open back dresses and mini dresses that make your outfit both ethical and glamourous.

We’re also challenging fast-fashion practices by addressing sustainability issues through experience, innovation and collaboration. With that in mind, you’ll receive care instructions with each purchase. If you take care of your clothes, they will return the favour for you!

Keeping your clothes in good condition will help reduce waste in the long run. For best practice; we recommend you follow the care instructions on the label, use eco-friendly detergents, and repair or mend clothing when you need to. This will extend the life of your sustainable resort wear, reducing the frequency of buying new clothes and allowing you to build a collection of high-quality sustainable pieces.
