Why do our clothes suck these days? We have some ideas. But all is not lost! There are ways to find and choose good quality clothing no matter your shopping budget. In today’s episode, we share what we focus on when shopping for good quality clothes. We chat about fabric choice, garment construction, details, certifications and longevity. Since we can’t get enough of the topic, we also touch on what “timeless” means, and the value in re-wearing and caring for our clothes to extend their life. We do this with the help of a good on you article we found - linked below!
