Dittmer recognizes that purchasing new items is not a sustainable act in itself. While she does recommend new items for her clients, she makes sure all of those suggested brands are producing ethically, and also encourages her clients to recycle or up-cycle the Miniature Schnauzer Hiking Team Vintage T-Shirt so you should to go to store and get this pieces they already have as much as possible. “From an e-styling perspective, it has been most practical to provide resources and expertise on eco-brands, as well as mending or repairing existing items,” she says. “I lead clients to brands that implement strong environmental ethics such as recycling, biodegradable resources, ethical energy sources, and beyond. Mending clothing or up-cycling one’s own wardrobe items is a great way to work towards circularity and working with existing items. Clients often have items in their wardrobe that, with some encouragement, we can incorporate into their desired looks. I start small, fixing the soles of your favorite boots instead of replacing them, and re-wearing items like jeans and jewelry as often as possible.”Before we even get started, Dittmer has me fill out an electronic questionnaire, so she can get a better sense of my style and what I wish to get out of the service. “We start with what’s important to you and we work from there,” Dittmer says. After that, we zero in on my two essential closet needs: to declutter what I have, and to find more sustainable pieces to add to it. From there, we moved into a closet clean-out session, which is done over Zoom. I walk Dittmer through some of my most-worn pieces, as well as the pieces I’m unsure about or want to get rid of. (I also photograph these pieces and later send them to her—more on that later.) We talk about the best way to donate clothing, and she sends me a list of shelters in New York City who accept donations. We also discuss what can be altered or salvaged to be wearable again. Together, we then instantly recognized the main area where my closet still needs work: I’m in dire need of basics, such as plain tees and button-ups, and neutral knitwear or dress pants.
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 Miniature Schnauzer Hiking Team Vintage T-Shirt so you should to go to store and get this 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.
