How to Build a Sustainable Spring Wardrobe
Share
Spring is the season of renewal—a fresh start not just for nature but for your wardrobe, too. As we shift towards lighter layers and versatile pieces, it’s the perfect time to rethink your approach to fashion. A sustainable spring wardrobe isn’t just about looking good—it’s about investing in quality pieces that stand the test of time while being kinder to the planet.
At Rewound Clothing, we design shirts that blend timeless style with ethical production, using only 100% recycled or natural fibres. Ready to refresh your wardrobe the right way? Here’s how.
Step 1: Focus on Versatile Layers
Spring weather is unpredictable—one minute it’s warm, the next there’s a chilly breeze. That’s why layering is key. Invest in pieces that can be worn solo or layered up as needed.
- The James Overshirt – A perfect lightweight jacket for cool mornings and evening strolls. Made from 100% recycled materials, it’s designed to last beyond just one season.
- The Joseph Hemp Shirt – A breathable, durable staple that works buttoned up or open over a tee, effortlessly bridging the gap between winter and summer.
By choosing versatile layers, you avoid the need for fast-fashion impulse buys, keeping your wardrobe intentional and eco-friendly.
Step 2: Choose Breathable, Natural Fabrics
As temperatures rise, comfort is key. Synthetic fabrics may trap heat and moisture, but natural fibres like hemp, lyocell, and organic cotton allow your skin to breathe.
- Hemp & Lyocell Blends – Naturally lightweight, durable, and resistant to odours, these fabrics keep you cool while maintaining structure. The Lukas Hemp-Lyocell Shirt is an all-rounder that balances softness with durability.
- Eco-Viscose & TENCEL™ – These fibres offer an ultra-soft, silky feel while being significantly more sustainable than traditional viscose or polyester blends. Look for shirts like The David or The Reiss, which combine comfort and responsible production.
Switching to natural fabrics isn’t just better for your skin—it reduces reliance on petroleum-based materials and helps cut down on microplastic pollution.
Step 3: Build a Capsule Wardrobe
Spring cleaning isn’t just for your home—it’s a great time to refine your wardrobe, too. A capsule wardrobe consists of a few high-quality, interchangeable pieces that work across multiple outfits.
Start with these essentials:
✔ A neutral button-down – Works for the office, evenings out, and weekends. The Lukas Hemp Shirt in classic white is a timeless pick.
✔ A relaxed overshirt – Adds polish without feeling too formal. The James Overshirt in beige is effortlessly cool.
✔ A statement piece – Elevate your wardrobe with a standout print. The Remi Short Sleeve Shirt brings personality without sacrificing versatility.
By investing in fewer, better pieces, you eliminate clutter and ensure every item in your wardrobe is a favourite.
Step 4: Buy Less, Choose Better
Fast fashion thrives on overconsumption, but true style is about wearing pieces you genuinely love—again and again. When shopping, ask yourself:
✅ Is it made to last? Rewound’s shirts are crafted with durable, high-quality fabrics that get softer with every wear.
✅ Can I style it multiple ways? The best pieces transition effortlessly between casual and smart occasions.
✅ Does it align with my values? Choosing brands that prioritise sustainability means your purchases support ethical, responsible production.
A conscious wardrobe isn’t about restricting yourself—it’s about refining your choices so you always feel confident in what you wear.
