6 Easy Ways to Make Your Closet More Sustainable

6 Easy Ways to Make Your Closet More Sustainable

Sustainability starts in your closet.
Fashion is one of the most polluting industries in the world—but the good news? You don’t have to overhaul your entire wardrobe to make a difference. Small, thoughtful choices add up.

Here are 6 easy ways to make your closet more sustainable, starting today:


1. Shop Secondhand First

Before buying new, check out thrift stores, vintage boutiques, and resale shops (like ours!). Secondhand shopping keeps clothing out of landfills and gives beautiful pieces a second life.

💡 Bonus: It’s budget-friendly and better for the planet.


2. Repair, Don’t Replace

A missing button or small rip doesn’t mean it’s time to toss it. A quick repair helps your clothes last longer and avoids unnecessary waste.

👉 We even offer repair tips and sewing notions in our Garment Care Collection.


3. Choose Natural Fibres

Natural materials like cotton, linen, silk, and wool are breathable, comfortable, and biodegradable. They’re better for your skin and the Earth compared to synthetic fibres like polyester. We've had so many requests for natural fibers, we've put together a collection to make it easy.


4. Wash With Care

Washing your clothes less often, using cold water, and skipping the dryer can make a huge difference. It extends the life of your garments and saves energy, water, and emissions.

We’ve made it easier to care for your clothes the sustainable way—our Sustainable Laundry Collection was the first non-clothing line we introduced at Le Prix. Every product is biodegradable, natural, and Canadian-made. They really hold up—some of our most loyal fans work in construction and swear by them!

5. Connect With Nature

Spending time outside reminds us why sustainability matters. Whether it’s a walk in the woods or your own backyard, reconnecting with nature helps fuel your love for the planet—and your motivation to protect it.


6. Choose Versatile Pieces

Build a wardrobe that works harder for you. Think timeless, mix-and-match styles that carry you from season to season. Quality over quantity always wins.

Every small shift matters.
Sustainability doesn’t have to be perfect—it just needs to be intentional. Whether you’re wearing vintage denim or mending a well-loved coat, your choices create ripple effects.

Let’s celebrate Earth Day by choosing fashion that’s kind to people and the planet.
