Penguin Kisses Fix Everything Christmas Shirt

At the Penguin Kisses Fix Everything Christmas Shirt Also,I will get this end of our session, Dittmer provides a list of other helpful resources, which are meant to make me continue thinking about sustainability—yes, even after our Zooms. She included retailers such as Garmentory or Temple Muse, which highlight small businesses. She provides me with a list of shelters that I can continue donating clothing to. She also included links surrounding how to shop package-free, or where I could attend workshops about sustainable living. She recognizes it’s a commitment to think about all of these things at once, but she ultimately hopes to inspire her clients to put in that extra bit of work. “Sustainability is a privilege, and it does take time and effort,” Dittmer says. “One of my main goals with clients is that they leave feeling like they know how to make better decisions, and are introduced to brands that are more aligned with their values.” And for the first time, I feel like I really do. Dittmer says I’m actually in luck: finding sustainable basics is easier than ever. The problem, however, is finding menswear options. “I would guess that 70 percent of my go-to brands don’t have menswear,” she says. Even so, she starts compiling a list of brands who do specialize in sustainable men’s basics. “I definitely hold brands to a higher standard when they’re producing basics, just because we know it’s possible [to do sustainably],” she says. But even though we’re on the hunt for simple pieces, she says she doesn’t want to veer into bland territory. “Your existing outfits are so fun, so I really want to focus on basics with interesting details or fabrications,” she says.

About a week after our first Zoom consultation, it was time for round two. I hop on Zoom and Dittmer walks me through myPenguin Kisses Fix Everything Christmas Shirt Also,I will get this “curated digital boutique.” The PDF includes an extensive list of about 12 sustainable brands, all tailored to my personal taste and needs. Dittmer includes a description of each brand, as well as styling advice: she curated mood boards using photos of my own wardrobe pieces, and then mixed them in with pieces from each sustainable brand, to inspire outfit ideas. Dittmer introduces me to basics brands such as Atelier Phi, a Swedish brand. “They’re less than 2 years old, and they make garments out of recycled cashmere and merino wool,” she says. She also envisions me wearing pieces from South Africa’s Maxhosa and Nigeria’s Orange Culture, two menswear brands focused on small supply chains and eco-friendly textiles. “Orange Culture is androgynous and streetwear driven,” she says. She even found me a heeled boot brand—my go-to shoe—called Kiing Daviids. All their boots are custom and made-to-order. Having a rich selection of eco-conscious brands to go off, I then log off Zoom and begin browsing for basics. There turns out to be a surprisingly large amount of options.
