Circular Fashion
So, have you ever heard of the phrase "reduce, reuse, and recycle"? It means that we should try to use things again and again instead of throwing them away. Circular fashion is all about doing that with clothes!
​
Circular fashion means that instead of buying new clothes all the time, we try to use the clothes we already have in different ways. We can also swap clothes with our friends or buy secondhand clothes instead of always buying new ones.
​
This helps us reduce the amount of waste we create and helps the environment too! Plus, it can be a lot of fun to come up with new ways to wear the clothes we already have.
