Rethink Your Wardrobe: Wear, Share, Repeat

Occasion wear such as evening dresses and party outfits is often bought for one event and rarely worn again. Rethink Your Wardrobe invites the public to question that habit and to try ways of dressing up that prevent textile waste before it is created.

The content will include:

• A short talk and open discussion (Rethink/Reduce). It will cover the environmental impact of fast and occasion fashion and the place of prevention in the waste hierarchy. It will also cover practical ways to meet the same needs without buying new, such as sharing, borrowing and renting.
• Creating a challenge to Reuse: the audience will be encouraged to pick 3 items from their wardrobe at home to list them on a rental platform to ensure that the same garment has a longer useful life and enjoyed by multiple individuals.

  From 21 to 29 November, a campaign called #WearItAgainMalta will post one waste-prevention tip a day. It will also invite followers to share an outfit they have re-worn.
