9 recycled coats you’ll want in your winter wardrobe
Perusing for your coat is the real indicator that cold temperatures are around the corner. But, instead of shopping for a new one every season, tick off one of A/W’s biggest trends; slow fashion. Encouraging shoppers to change their attitude to the disposable nature of clothing, designers are supporting buying timeless styles you can wear for years.
That can mean higher prices, which may seem unappealing, but it will work out less cost-per-wear and it means not contributing to the 300,000 tonnes of clothing that are binned every year.
