But listen, don’t let climate change get you down. You can still look fantastic while doing your bit to help the earth. So why don’t you step into the Climate Changing Room and try these ideas on for size…

Thrift Y’all know I’m into thrifting. Not only can you find fantastic pieces (sometimes vintage) at amazing deals, but you reducing, reusing and recycling. Make sure you give as much as you buy–donate your clothes to charity, don’t ever throw them away! You never know what treasures you’ll find so hit the thrift stores, flea markets or online markets before you head up the High Street.

Thrift Smarter: You can make your thriftiness go farther by shopping at charity shops for organisations working to address climate change. Luckily for us gals Oxfam is not only a leader in the climate campaign, they are also tops of the charity shops. I’ve never visited an Oxfam shop in Dublin without finding something amazing. Plus they have specialty shops for vintage, bridal, books and home goods. While prices may be slightly higher at Oxfam, you know that your purchase is going to find sustainable solutions to climate change. That’s a one-two-punch!

Go Eco: Fair trade is everywhere and totally mainstream. There’s no reason for not owning at least one fair trade cotton item in your wardrobe. The social and environmental benefits of fair trade will make those comfy M&S socks feel all the better on your feet. Big retailers like M&S and Tesco have great deals on fair trade cotton essentials, so set the right foundation for the environment with your foundation garments!
