Occasion season has as soon as once more come round and one other yr brings much more alternative for the Christmas calendar.
Whether or not you’re a full-on sparkle lover or a low-key dresser we’ve received your lined. However a simple sustainable step you may make this season is to step away from sequins. Fairly just a few manufacturers are making a transfer away from utilizing them this season because of the truth they’re not biodegradable. Nonetheless love them? Strive secondhand to provide objects a brand new lease of life, or search for post-consumer recycled choices.
Boden is one model that’s driving this initiative – their staff tells us, “The festive season has at all times been synonymous with standing out and shining vibrant – however not on the expense of the atmosphere. Since 2021 we’ve got completely eliminated sequins and glitter as a part of our dedication to driving sustainable change inside the enterprise. We all know that sequins and glitter do drive gross sales, however we had been artistic and considered different methods for us to excite and delight our prospects this Christmas.” (And I’ve included such delights within the round-up beneath!)
Whistles have additionally made a sustainability step ahead in selling “Recycled Sequins” this yr – “This season we’re launching our first items with sequins comprised of post-consumer recycled supplies.”
Personally, I will likely be smartening up an off-the-cuff denims and blazer combo with a shiny accent and have put a few of my favourites beneath…
